2016 FCS PLAYOFFS SEMIS

[gundy1124]

Watching replay-  mostly want to see the crowd shots and vaunted jet sweeps in the 4th quarter.  Anyway, the hold call on the 1st TD was a joke.  SU corner was blocked and RB was blowing by him so he threw his arms up in the air, 'and waived them like he just didn't care'.  Football needs a flopping rule for wimps like that.

Stick fumbled- nice review refs.

Sounds like a bunch of the Bison fans are going to be poor losers and just toss their tickets away. If their holy team doesn't make it they don't want to sell thier tickets to pathetic fan bases. Just shows their superiority complex when it comes to every other teams fan base. Let's hope all the fans that want to go can find tickets.

On the hold, he was locked in on his breast plates. Was NOT a hold. Did they end up scoring anyway? I don't remember. 

Also, that was a clear fumble. Wasn't even that close and as you said, the reply was there to prove it but they didn't even look!!

That game easily could have been blown wide open but the officials kept it close. Now I will hear about their 2 missed field goals and all their injuries were why they lost. Just like I heard all week- they were 1 play away from being undefeated this season but they were actually also 4 plays away from having 4 loses------ Charleston southern doesn't miss the last second field goal to win, EWU doesn't miss last second field goal to win, NDSU misses field goal against Iowa and then SD scores last second TD to win. EASILY could have been a 4 lose team going into the playoffs but they were fortunate. But all I heard was that they were unlucky and should be undeafted...one play away. 

You remember the bad more than the good. 

The offsides against NDSU that turned into a field goal for JMU was suspect as well. Mediocre officiating crew last night. 

[gundy1124]

JMU missed a FG after the Phantom hold, no points.

Also, JMU had their starting center go down and it's hard to re-live the horrors of the Duke's RT.

I wonder how this will effect recruiting in the RRV. NDSU obviously had a great season but technically their stock is falling. UND didn't make it quite as far but their stock is skyrocketing. Which type of trend will young talents want to be a part of?

You’ve heard of a Market Correction, well our friends to the south need a Fan Correction. The Bizon FB team needs to get knocked off the throne, and the sooner the better.

First of all I must apologize, I routed for the Bizon in their first 2 of 5 consecutive FCS NC games. I taught it would be good for state. Although with some merit, that reasoning has since been overwhelmed by the actions of a lot of their fans, mostly by their arrogance and rootlessness, but not limited to. I’m sorry.

This is not to be construed as anything against the team personally, but that in many, it’s the only way to kill this cancer in the fan base. The FB team must loose, to humble those most in need.

Also worth noting, Div I aspirations have created a lot of amosite between the schools, and a separation of the schools in many ways. That’s not a good formula for a great rivalry.

With the winning teams of MOO U FB, many of their fans have gone over the top.

The FB gods and Hockey gods got together last night, answered our wishes, they ran the Bizon over the cliff, what a thunder that was. Milk Town will never be the same. A true market (fan) correction.

Today is Bizon football hangover day!!!!!!!!!!!

Bisonville is just pathetic, they're going to need another slap.

Maybe we will be matched up with them next year in the playoffs, maybe they don't even make the playoffs!

I can't wait for next year's FB! In the mean time, we have Hockey and BB to watch, what a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

with a couple minutes left in the football game one of the coaches wives at the bball game asked another wife if she should call hedberg's wife and ask her if she has any cheap tickets for the title game she might be willing to sell!!!!

I wonder if the Duke's will send a love letter to the AD about how gracious the SU fan base is after their loss.......

That's the true test of a fan base and we all know the truth of the matter.

But hats off to SU, a lot of kids in Africa will have clothes this Christmas that read 'Bison 6-peat'.

It's always more satisfying to build something great, like we are attempting at UND, than hopping on board trying to maintain a status.  But both have appeal and it comes down to personalities, preferences, and a bunch of other factors.  Overall, we are getting close.  It's Frisco or Bust for me in 2017.

Fans on other message boards who make Frisco an annual trip, and arent Bison fans, are rejoicing stating Frisco was a horrible time when NDSU was there and are now looking forward to it again.

I presume it's much like when we bring 10,000+ fans to Tampa. Clearly, though, on much grander, more fun and respectful manner  haha

[Hayduke]

Five year run comes to an end.   pretty freaking impressive run.  

I heard that it was breaking news on Fargo tv stations.  Also, Bison fans in total shock.   You'd think enough of them are Vikings fans and used to dealing with disappointment...  

[Longtime fan]

 

shhhh....did you hear that noise?....believe that was the sound of thousands of band wagoners falling off the wagon. 

FTB.

Maybe the FU faithful can still go to Frisco and do some of this while they are there!

Weird,  it's only been there one time i think without NDSU in it. They should be happy though, fun to see different teams. 

[homer]

EWU pulling away from YSU.  Have scored 17 unanswered.  Lead 17-7

[Wilbur]

Both starting safeties suspended.  Hmmm.

I'm waiting for Pelini to explode....17 unanswered....tick....tick.....tick....

They have to pay the officials well to have to want to stand by him for three hours. 

[UNDBIZ]

Come on EWU. No mvfc teams in championship would be great. 

[Nodak78]

EWU will probably score two more times

 

[JohnboyND7]

4 yards.  5 yards.  4 yards.  9 yards.  7 yards.  4 yards...lol
