It's almost like Bison fans have gotten so spoiled that many of us think the real playoffs don't start until the semis.
Yeah, these tickets aren't selling this much more quickly just because Montana St fans are buying them. I'm pretty sure there's plenty of front-running Bison fans buying who are going to make their first appearance of the playoffs inside the Fargodome this week. Last year neither of the first two playoff games sold out either and then the semis were a sellout plus standing room.

That is demonstrably false and a lot of the time it seems like the Bison play better on the road.
I wish we had half the amount of excitement Bison fans bring, but you guys are the outlyer for FCS in many things; in a good way.

When I looked this morning there weren't very many tickets to sell in the first place. Seemed to me that most are season/student tickets so it'll be interesting to see how many go unclaimed and up for grabs come Wednesday morning and how long they last.

A few things from the Entz presser today. ISUr's DC was at Montana State last year, which means they will probably be talkiing. Coby Johnson is good to go. Bison had too many 3rd and longs and even 4th down and long for any chance to go for it.
Re: Semifinal: Montana State @ North Dakota State
After watching the replay of games, I think that NDSU will control the lines and has the ability to throw over MSU DB’s, Bison will have more time & be able to open up the offense. MSU doesn’t appear to have the ability to control clock to stay in striking distance. UND lost to Bison by 31 and beat Montana State by 4. It won’t be a 35 point game, but sign don’t point to me to a close game. For additional comparison let’s look at the two teams eliminated by these teams-Austin Peay beat SEMO by 7, got beat by UCA by 8 and lost to Montana State by 10. ISU beat SEMO by 18 and beat UCA by 10 and lost to NDSU by 6. I’m going to say 16 points isn’t out of question, but I’ll say 11 points is about right and a 21-10 game sounds likely. Of course that’s why they play’em.

Wrong Montana. Niekamp was DC for the Grizzlies. Last year MSU's DC was Ty Gregorak, who was replaced by former Bobcat and 4-time All American Kane Ioane. If Niekamp wants to have a discussion with our coaching staff, however, I don't think we'd turn him down.

So NDSU is preparing to play Montana? xthumbsupx

Special teams and linebackers.

What about the other common opponent - UC Davis?
Also Montana State beat SEMO by 21, not sure where that fits into your weird transitive property thing you got going.
