Bison pull it out 38-20

I listened to a fair amount of the game today. My impressions coming out of the game are. 1. NDSU will not be the powerhouse they think they are if Trey leaves. The offense was pretty anemic except for him. Now granted, it was the first and only game for them, but that is what I took away from it. 2. We should be thankful for Tyler and the crew that does the radio broadcasts. The arrogance and homerism on the "Bizon" radio network was quite evident and annoying, unless you are a buffalo fan. Just my 2 cents.

It was 39-28 at the end. UCA pulled a bonehead play and got a personal foul call when they had the buffalo stopped on a 3rd down play. NDSU proceeded to score on the next play and it was pretty much over then. The kid that got the flag should feel like a turd.

I like Phil Hansen(color) quite a bit. Jeff Culhane(play by play) is pretty good, but he's not as good as Scotty Miller was(died way too young of cancer a few years back). Jeremy Jorgenson(sidelines) is just an abomination. He's such a homer that it's absolutely ridiculous. (saying this as a Bison fan)

But the radio crew is still miles better than the TV crew. That one's not about homerism, just quality(or lack thereof).

Phil Hansen is pro and I enjoy his take as well. Jeff Cuhlane worked for USD before joining the Bison bunch. He is like say not a My oh My Miller.by any means. Trey Lance looks to be wasting time playing FCS football. He definitely a Sunday Guy. A whole season with out an interception! Unreal!! I noticed they let the defensive back keep the intercepted ball. Trey will have a great career and that ball may worth something someday. The Bison on their opponents 20 are very dangerous. Always look for QB run.

re: Culhane and Miller

Probably more than anyone here wants to know, but my mild beef with Culhane is that he's a bit more of a rah-rah homer than Miller was. Way back, the radio crew was Miller, Hansen and Steve Hallstrom(WDAY TV sports anchor at the time - the job Dom Izzo has now). None of the three were major homers. Mild homers? Sure. But maybe scores of 4-6 on a scale of 10(Hansen 4, Miller 5, Hallstrom 6). But then Hallstrom left the news industry and NDSU eventually hired Jorgenson to be the director of sports marketing for NDSU as well as the sideline reporter. JJ is at least a 9 or 10 on the homer scale. When Miller passed away, JJ was responsible for hiring Culhane, and I think his instructions to Culhane(JJ is basically his boss) informed the way Culhane calls the game. So Culhane is somewhere around a 6 or 7. So we went from a 4, 5, 6 mix to a 4, 6/7, 9/10 mix; or an average of 5 to an average of 6/7. The difference is noticeable, and only Phil is keeping it in check. It bugs me.
