Non-UND FCS Thread

That red field should be illegal

28-0 from Cheney at the half.

NDSU 56......EWU 21 from Frisco. 

[Oxbow6]

Frisco is a grass field. NDSU's O-line is probably just behind Ohio State's in the Big 10. I'll put the over/under at 7.8 yards per carry vs EWU when it's all said and done.

[Fry Bread]

Fan turnout looks light. Must be bingo in town

[Wilbur]

35-5.  Which are also the odds Vegas will give you on EWU over NDSU.....

Do we know how many Seniors are on their O-line?

One tackle is a Jr and the other a sophomore . The center is a senior. One guard is a soph.

One tackle is a redshirt freshman and the other a sophomore I think. The center is a senior. Need to check on the guards.

Doesn't matter.  We need better OL at every position.

[Wilbur]

The number of guys that run wide open in some of these games......did he blend into the turf???  What do they say when they look at the film????

43-19 EWU.

Don’t tell UNDBIZ that - he evidently thinks UND is a good punter away from going toe-to-toe with the Bison.

[Wilbur]

Wrapping up on a tackle optional, and the red turfs lead 50-19.

We’re the ones that need to take them down. We’re the only ones capable of taking them out at the knees. Their whole dynasty narrative starts with domination of this state.

I disagree.  Send a big check to the Team Makers and pray they move up to FBS.

My wish is for E. Wash  to  rattle  a few  'bizzon' chinstraps......and send them back limping to the  manure  pit...(blew a bubble snot laugh when someone called that of the a Fargo-dump....) EWU 26-Aggies  20...

From a price standpoint per ticket (less games for football), it’s NDSU football. UND hockey has more games though and greater variability given the REA (general admission vs suites vs bar seats, etc.).

It’s not straightforward at all. 

Discuss, but remember this thread is FCS football based.

As for NDSU football vs Rose Bowl, if only UND hockey could be so lucky to be competitively compared to upper level competition (NHL games?). Hell, the NCAA hockey regionals are typically half empty. 

And if Portland St played Maine in a FCS play-off game at let's say a regional in Cincinnati, it would be at least half empty too.  Point made is that the NCAA is stupid playing hockey regionals at neutral based sites.  For some reason they're a little bit smarter about it when it comes to FCS football playoffs.

NCAA playoffs that don’t break even like FCS, Volleyball, Women’s basketball, soccer etc have home court advantages until later rounds.

Thats just the way it is.

Gotta think the travel has taken its toll. They beat Weber on the road, they don’t suck.

I think you nailed it.  There’s always tests before Christmas break too

According to the (very long) article in the Sunday Witchta paper.... it appears Coach K can do no wrong.... anytime, anywhere.... K-State says they gained all the NDSU fans too....

Why didn’t someone put this man on Obama Care or world hunger?

Just like the Philadelphia Eagles gained legions of new fans when Carson Wentz became their QB and the Chicago Blackhawks are most every UND fan’s favorite NHL team thanks to Jonathan Toews...nothing to see here, move along.

They are atrocious.

Oh, come on @Oxbow6, talk about hyperbole.  I bet Maine would beat Mayville State by 7-10 points.

EWU will have to score in the 60's to win because NDSU will if they have to. Not saying NDSU will score 60 because they most likely won't have to, but they will if they have to. EWU's defense is not going to be able to stop NDSU.

The kick catch interference was a bad call, which like you'll see time and time again will never go against NDSU. 

You mean besides the previous week when NDSU was called for it?

EWU v. NDSU will be determined by who sets the tempo. 

If, somehow (as in 10% chance of happening), EWU gets their track-meet tempo going they could simply race past NDSU. NDSU isn't used to playing from behind and surely not having to pass, a lot, playing catch-up. Possible? Yes. However ... 

Much more likely is that NDSU plays a game that keeps the EWU defense on the field and wears them out. Meanwhile the EWU offense is watching from the sidelines and not establishing any rhythm. 

Massey says EWU has a 1 in 6 chance (16%). I'd agree with that with most of that chance being tempo (see above) and the rest being NDSU having a rare, unexpected off day.

Massey could be right, but he had us wrong as far as getting in the NCAA's during the last week of regular season (most of us included). This could be a good match up. Bison are very strong against the run, but could be vulnerable against EWU's passing game? EWU's defense is going to be vulnerable to the running game.
