My first Bison game was ‘70 at Memorial Stadium – we lost 20-3, hurt.
First game at Dacotah Field in ‘71, Bison #1 nation, rainy, we won 23-7, ecstatic.

Speed dial to today, UND vs NDSU
62-47-3 overall
10-5 in last 15 games.

The mafia have the Bison favored by a FG. GF Herald’s Miller claims we lose, while the Fargo bait clickers predict the visitors get the W. Isn’t that a little quirky? I’m thinking it’ll only be a rivalry game if we win, for if we lose – Bison arrogance still rides?

My take, swinging much more towards UND today. We did it convincingly 50 years ago on the road, doing it again. We are going to bring about a local change in the guard tomorrow.

I’ve been sticking with Zeb (cuz experience) all week, posted so in fist page here. He’ll be taking the first snap of the game. He’ll hand off and pass, but won’t accomplish much. Bison D gets a turnover resulting in an offensive run TD, latter in the half a FG. We’ll run in two TD’s. Both defenses play well.

Tommy takes the first snap of the second half and marches the offense for a score by Otis. Home field advantage will slide over to the Hawks as the home town fans become restless and the players sense it. Miller comes in, in the 3rd, struggles. Bison get one running TD and one sack. Hawks get 4 sacks, one interception. OL pushes. Hawks gets a passing & a running TD, and a FG.      

 I'll be there!. Game will not be anomaly moving forward.

So if I am following all this correctly, that's 31-17 UND?

Can a man be cucked during a handshake? 

Like Wilt asserting dominance over Shaq. You absolutely can. 
 

The Stilt almost tore his arm off. You can bet Shaq never forgot that.

We want Entz to be there for a while longer but a while longer will force them to fire him...damn

If Zeb starts, I'm gonna be pissed lol.

Not sure what long term changes result from a single regular season football game though. 

I thought you were a Notre Dame fan

From unofficial sources, Miller will be starting but Entz won't release the info.

Not a shocker, was just hoping he might be stubborn enough to roll Noland out for a few series.

We get to the quarterback hard and early, he may still have to.

For the record, I am not advocating any sort of intent to injure; I would never advocate for injury. But you hit him hard and early, and who knows how he plays.

Yeah, I'm not prepared to say 1 game completely changes the landscape of fcs football, but it does add some intrigue to the league and certainly won't help NDSU long term. A good UND season is far from setting ourselves up for a decade of success, but it is a step in the right direction. A sweep over the Dakota schools, combined with an overall different kind of season for NDSU can help level the playing field a bit on recruiting, but the Bison are still the Bison. You don't erase a decade of success with 1 bad season.

The way I see it, NDSU has two opportunities: First, you can turn the season around starting tomorrow and make a run. Second, you turn this thing around in the Fall, and if you are successful there, then this spring is quickly forgotten. On the flip side, if you see a bad spring and a bad fall season, you will likely have a new coach, and lose some significant recruiting ground, especially in the region.

Even if NDSU is average this spring and average in the fall, I doubt the head coach gets canned. I'm guessing they'd shake up the staff a bit but they aren't gonna can the guy unless the wheels completely fall off.. That costs money.

Watching the couple hits Miller took in limited action last week, he hasn't learned ot adjust to protecting himself at the college level yet. You would have to believe that Holinka is going to bring a few looks that a brand new QB has never seen before. Need to keep him from getting too many yards with his legs because I don't think his arm/decision making will win NDSU the game.

Look at Lennon dominating this hand shake. Can’t blame Bohl for being shook. Dale has more hair in his stache than Bohl has on his entire body.

Look at those baggy long sleeve polos. Reminds me of 90’s Tiger. Or 90’s everyone I guess

Dale Lennon seems like a cool guy. Would love to crush some cold ones with him.

I look forward to "accidentally" running into him sometime while just "happening" to have a case of whatever his beer of choice is.

A lot of man crushing on Dale Lennon here....I LIKE IT!

Was Schmidt Big Mouths in college.  He’s advanced somewhat since then.

I'm late to the party as usual, but what are viewing options for those not in the Fargo/Grand Forks area?  ESPN3 maybe?

Sometimes a handshake is just a handshake and sometimes it lets you know who the Alpha is.

I've seen WSPN + and Midco.  I'm confused though, why isn't it on KVLY?  I thought all NDSU games were on channel 11.......

We all make mistakes in our youth... won't hold it against our local Catholic U's AD.

Probably fun to pick someone else against the Bison after all these years, so I’m guessing that’s part of it. 

[Nodak78]

I just finish watching a replay of the ISU vs NDSU on ESPN+.  Bison were very fortunate.  Bison returned a punt and block an xp or kt would have been a 14-14 tie and going to OT.  

I like our odds.

Plus does anyone have a T Shirt that was made in the late 90's that some UND players had made that said something lime UND owns the Dome.  Because I believe UND won the first two games in the Dome.   Still leads 4-3 in the FargoDome.

I know exactly the shirt you speak of. I think it read something like “they built it, they paid for it, we own it.”  UND actually won the first 3 games in the dome, and went 4-1 during the Division II era.
