The game ended a little like the FU-UIW game. Both teams went for the long ball when they might have won just by moving down the field. A game of inches.

When UIW was up 16-0 I truly did not think the Bison could come back. But they know how to win. I THINK the turnovers were 4-0 favoring NDSU.

I think UIW could beat NDSU at least 5 of 10 games.

I now have no interest in the championship game.

UIW would beat NDSU 10 out of 10 by 3 scores every time in San Antonio

Seven years of college down the drain.
Yep, wonder if he will follow his coach to Texas St. and play there next year. Doubt you will ever hear from UIW again.

It seems to me that after our game and watching them play last night, their coach does not do a very good job at making adjustments. It almost cost them against us and it certainly cost them last night.

Pulling for UIW

NDSU always winning has been so bad for the brand of FCS football

Not even Bison fans are showing up to the Dome anymore like they did in the past
With a blizzard going on in that area, I was shocked at the number of fans that attended the game. That was impressive. We cannot get that many to show up on clear and sunny day,.

True about our attendance, but NDSU has ZERO competition for fans.

Yes…only 3 options on Fri or Sat. Night in Fargo…
1) ice fishing
2) huddle around the woodstove and tell Viking tales
3) go to the bizuns game

Just what I was thinking.

Scott uttered a Hail Mary and his prayer went unanswered. Well, maybe it was answered and the answer was "NO"!

I agree but the coach did not drop a TD pass, fumble the snap or throw an interception at critical times in the game. UIW could have been up by 5 scores. Their errors turned the momentum of the game in NDSU's favor. I think FU beats both teams last night.

I know what you're saying for sure, I was not comparing them to our fan base, just the fact that these games even with blizzard conditions for semifinals use to sellout in Fargo for NDSU. Not anymore for them, yesterday only 12,500 showed up, the dome seats 18,500.

It was still enough to disrupt UIW.

Yep, but alot less enthusiasm around the NDSU program for FCS playoff football these days, surely they will make the FBS jump soon
