Right now I’m pretty happy I bought SDSU hoodie, after they beat the bison in October, to wear around here in Fargo.

I may have to order one. Never thought of that!

Small number of words for ... not smart enough to refute any point. Simple.

IMO, you would have to make a point first.  You added nothing other than apparently you can gain control of a fumble with an elbow.  OK.  Solid point, I guess.

Hope SDSU keeps rolling them. Good for a MVFC team to destroy a top Big Sky team. Big fluffy getting put in it's place. 

Big Fluffy is from bison-swille I feel dirty just reading it.

Can anyone refute or explain those pics? 

Looks like ICW ball.

Good for the Jacks, I was hoping they'd end up in Frisco.  

Two best teams are there, but does anyone honestly think SDSU will win?  I mean....come on.....like really think the Bison won't play great and win FCS title # whatever??

Jacks have the OL, DL. QB, WR.  Jacks by 10

Bison have that mystique and know that but for a silly call by the OC in the first game, they would have dominated the Jacks early and beat them.

Bison by a TD.

Who posted the tweet from espn about rivalry game on Sioux sports?

really don’t need that tweet on here 

it’s like the herald having more bison news than hawks 

Come on  man

Thats wayyy after the whistle blew and the UIW player pulled the ball away from 49.

The ball was never pulled "away" from #49 as he never had possession of the ball.

SDSU spotted NDSU a big lead... in the Fargodome.  And still won.

I am gonna guess SDSU by 10. Just a flat out better team right now

Yes.

SDSU is the better team and they know that this is their time to break through.

They won't have a better chance than this one right here right now.

I agree that SDSU is the better team....but.....I mean.... We all know how this ends.

SDSU has had teams that were good enough to beat NDSU.  This year, it is the reverse.  NDSU can beat SDSU, but I wouldn't put money on it.  Most of NDSU's football team have either not beat SDSU or have been young underclassmen when NDSU did.  Bohl is gone. Klieman is gone.  Stig (like him or not) has put better teams on the field against Entz.

 

NDSU may win. I'll be rooting for them.  This is the first (maybe only) time they've set foot in a  championship game where the other team is objectively better than them.

I still say UIW should have tied the game at 35. 

And the Colts should have gone up eleven late against Minnesota. 

i love going for it on fourth but a tie game is a tie game and up eleven, two scores, is better than up eight, one score.

The 4th down play call was too obvious. They had the man in motion open but that was not the call.

I can’t think of one position/position group where NDSU has an advantage. Maybe defensive secondary. I’ll be cheering madly for the Bison of course but I think SDSU wins by at least two td’s. I think it will look similar to SDSU/MSU.

...and Cam will complete 4 passes for 31 yards and NDSU will still win by 2 scores.

Random Factoid of the Day:

Frisco Texas Bowl (Boise State v North Texas): 12211  <-- 20 miles from UNT

FCS Quarter (UIW v NDSU): 12569 <-- in a blizzard with closed interstate highways

[SWSiouxMN]

It is SDSU time

They won't have a better chance that this one right here.

I'll take the Bunnies in this one.  Cubby's and Skinner's Pub will be bumping all day. 

[SIOUXFAN97]

so two fumbles....one in the NFL...kc v houston the other fcs playoffs iwu v ndac

pretty similiar in that there was pig pile and in the NFL they got it right without replay and even with replay the FCS refs couldn't get it right....

Why Patriot League officials for UIW@NDSU? Why not a MWC or Big XII or B1G crew? 

I say that because at times the Patriot crew seemed out of position.

FBS officials would be unsurprised, unfazed, by the power and speed of an FCS playoff game.
