NDSU vs. Sam Houston State

Re: NDSU vs. Sam Houston State

Crabby Bison fans, I thought they were just plain arrogant.

Some are arrogant...no doubt about it. Many more just have high expectations...I would not call that arrogant. Either way I am excited the Bison are in the championship.

Re: NDSU vs. Sam Houston State

I'm not sure either team will have a distinct home field advantage - word on some of the message boards is that both teams were given 4000 tickets (which are spoken for already) and the other 12000 that the stadium holds have been sold already (and are slowly making their way to the secondary market of scalpers, ticket brokers, stub hub, etc.). Tickets on stub hub range from $350-$1333 right now - that is a lot of coin. Lots of crabby or nervous Bison fans about the situation hoping that either more tickets become available through NDSU or the NCAA or the price on the secondary market comes down closer to face value ($45/seat).

Those prices will come down. They just need to be patient. Book the rooms and wait. Those prices will come down. Good lesson here, if your team makes the playoffs, might want to consider buying ahead of time.

Here's a link to that StubHub page and it's not pretty if you're a fan of the two teams playing.

Re: NDSU vs. Sam Houston State

You forgot one thing on that game.....Montana was no longer up where the air is thin and the 25000 drunken fans screaming for them,and the women offering themselves up on a platter should they win. NDSU will have a full contingent in Frisco to be sure at this one(I'm sure lakes has it as high as a gajillion NDSU fans). SHSU thinks this is home cookin'....but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a split right down the middle and nullify the "homefield" for SHSU.

Re: NDSU vs. Sam Houston State

So I posted this after the Bison beat the Gophers...

"I hate to continue the unsmack, but here it goes. NDSU continues to hit like a bunch of Mack trucks on defense, no different from what I remember in the Jacks game last year. Jensen is way more mobile than he looks. McNorton might be one of the best backs in the FCS. I used to not think he would be much better than his first year. Wrong by me. NDSU is a contender...for more than the MVFC title. Hate to say it, but they are."

I'm not going to strain myself with the back-patting.

I watched pretty much every play of the semi-finals (both games) and I would be shocked if NDSU doesn't win this thing. But I also thought Montana would pound SHSU.

I felt the same way after the Minnesota game. I think NDSU will find a way to win. That's good for the MVFC.
