Risky Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Someone said Bison players work their ass off 12 months a year. I assume he meant at football related practices and not at jobs they have away from school. They don't work quite so hard there. They are hard workers sometimes. 1
Gothmog Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Wouldn't that be a revenge game too? Seems to me EWU knocked them out on their title run. EWU has been an up and down team but if I'm NDSU I would rather play SHSU and their one-dimensional approach, it plays into the Bisons strength although GSU ran fairly well last night. EWU can score in bunches and passes for over 300 yards/game, they could actually give the Bison trouble through the air. Hard to judge Big Sky schools. They play such a weak regular season schedule.
sioux rube Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Sam Houston taking it to EW 14-0 in the 1st quarter.
Wilbur Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Sam Houston taking it to EW 14-0 in the 1st quarter. Better not be watching that game or we'll get posters from Sam Houston and Eastern Washington coming into the forum calling us jealous fans. Because the only football games you should be watching are Sioux games or nothing.
Wilbur Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Sam Houston State is absolutely rolling. Wow do they look good.
sioux rube Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Will Eastern be playing any defense today? Not playing much offense either. 28-0 still in first half and SH is ready to score again. edit: 35-0.
Johnny Five Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Title game is a toss up. 20-17 type game. Wish the Bison had Heagle and Perry, but gotta roll with what ya got.
zonadub Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 whether those teams become championship-caliber is up to the coach this ^^^^^^^^^ Coaching is why the Lakers won under Jackson and can't get over .500 now. Coaching is why the NO Saints are struggling this year. Its about getting your players to play together. Its about getting your team to play with good fundamentals instinctively. Its about team members believing they are winners and ultimately champions. Its not about moral victories and staying in the game except for a couple of key breaks. Champions make breaks of their own. 1
zonadub Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Ouch. Sam Houston is doing to Eastern Washington what Eastern did to UND. SH has not been very nice to the Big Sky in these playoffs.
Oxbow6 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Kinda why I wanted EWU to win. Soft. Hate to think what UND is/was then?
Matt Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 I must admit, i really thought Eastern would have a better showing. Bell, Sincere, Flanders, that's the same bunch the AC held to 0 tds last year.

Wilbur Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 May as well give Sam Houston the big sky championship. They just won the conference tournament.
Johnny Five Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 FU will gave to score more than 17 to beat SHSU again and after watching Jensen and that O it's iffy at best. Not sure SHSU offense is better than GSU.
Gothmog Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Not sure SHSU offense is better than GSU. Or Wofford. The Bison have already played, and beaten, some very good option teams this year. SHSU has more to worry about than NDSU.
Johnny Five Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 35-21 and a whole quarter left. we have a ballgame.
geaux_sioux Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 35-21 and a whole quarter left. we have a ballgame. You can never count out EWU with how they can score.
geaux_sioux Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Hate to think what UND is/was then? Und is soft. EWU is not soft. They just didn't start well. The EWU team that rolled und can and will beat anyone.
Johnny Five Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Please pull off this comback, it would be unbelievable.
geaux_sioux Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Apparently he has had some great recruiting years since then. They return a bunch of starters back next year and have a hell of a QB waiting in the wings. Oh and according to geaux_sioux it doesn't matter how good the coach is. Doh-kay. I had a hall of fame coach in high school and we had a good amount of talent when I was a soph but the seniors didn't give 100% into doing the extra things and we didn't make it to state. So according to you its the coaches fault that there wasn't good player leadership? The coach can only do so much at some point the players need to do the extra things and execute on the field.

The coach can only do so much at some point the players need to do the extra things and execute on the field. maybe the coach should have identified different leaders. Or maybe the other team was better coached? Sometimes hall of fame for coaches is as much about longevity as it is about winning.
