ESPN kickoff game NDSU #1 at Montana #12

[Ciclone]

That was a lot of fun to watch. Welcome, College Football 2015!

The Bizon are a nice story. Well coached and fundamentally sound. But with the exception of K State a couple of years ago, their claim of going toe to toe with the "Big Boys" is dubious. They have beaten historically bad Colorado State, Iowa State and Minnesota teams.

Yup. And KState seems like theyre often more vulnerable early.... hence why we almost got KSU last year.

Feel bad for your Lakes. Too bad you lost so many on defense, you could have used those guys in the last 1:47.

YEA ONLY 4 RETURNERS , CARSON HAD A BAD GAME 2 MISSED TD PASSES, 2 FUMBLES & A 3 & OUT WITH 2:26 LEFT. VERY UNCHARACTERISTIC OF NDSU

ALL THAT & WE LOST WITH 3 SEC'S LEFT. OH WELL

Why are you yelling at us?

Not-so-fun fact:

We've beaten KSU just once since 1931 when they finish with a winning record. Yes, it's lengthened by their own ****** history.

Rhoads also beat NDSU in his first game. Not a bad group he inherited.

 

[CyinCo]

I really like the idea of us grabbing the grizzly coach!

 

[TensasCy]

Terrible thing to lose like that.

Kind of funny, though.

 

[Beyerball]

I really like the idea of us grabbing the grizzly coach!

He can coach and is a great offensive genius...he's well respected by many great offensive minds but can he recruit? That's always been the issue at ISU.

The group Rhoads inherited won 2 games the previous year and were winless in the Big 12. They sucked.

And haven't beaten them since 2007 when Josh Freeman was their QB and Ron Prince was the coach. Rhoads has had 6 shots at them and hasn't gotten it done.

I agree with this. Their 2013 team that beat KSU was Very Good. The other teams they beat were pretty ho hum. UNI smoked them last year.

 

[cyclones500]

Montana's uniforms must've been the deciding factor.

You know what it tastes like? Success. Sweet, sweet success.

Sweet, sweet FCS success. Do you get this excited over 7th grade football games too?

Writes the guy who has at least five posts in a thread about an FCS game....

Also would have helped if NDSU ran the ball instead of passing on NDSU's last offensive poss. Saved Montana a couple of timeouts.

Haven't read the thread but it was a fantastic game to watch. I was genuinely nervous in the last 30 seconds- no idea why though.

Kind of sad that their biggest crowd is 27k for a game ISU can't win.

I'm not sure we're in position to make fun of anyone's football success.
