    Agreed.  I hope we play our best game so we don't look back at the game wondering what if.  If we play our best and lose, then so be it.  I think they'll get our best game.  No need to hold anything back at this point.  On Sunday, the season is officially over.  Sell out fellas!

    Last game of the year for both our programs. I hope to see each team's best!


    ...cause that means we'll win

      I would just temper this by saying "some of the Bison faithful". Not that they can't defend themselves for being arrogant. The lack of respect can be corrected on the field and off. Lets get things started this weekend.[/quote]

      I have to agree with Jackguy on this. Just reading through sites for the Bison faithful are is enough to make you sick. On McFeely's blog, there is a bison fan saying that he would take the Bison over Ohio State. He seriously thinks that NDSU would defeat OSU. And if you read the stuff leading up to their basketball game against Minnesota last night... you would think that the gophers just pulled the upset of the year by beating NDSU. Most of the fans, at least on these message boards put the NDSU teams about three levels higher than what they are in reality. I'm not saying they don't have a good team. But when comparisons to the Big 10 start coming in, I think they've gone a little too far.

        Well maybe some of us are a bit overboard, I don't think we'd beat Ohio St or any other top 25 teams in D-IA barring a big upset. But, that being said I really like this year's team and feel badly as I'm sure you guys do as well about the lack of playoff possibilities where this all can be proven on the field. In the meantime all we can do is wonder what may have been.

          BTW I hope a lot of you get to Fargo for the game. I looking forward to a great contest. I'll be there and I live farther than you do in Brookings.

            Why isn't this game on FSN North. It will obviously be a sell out. There's enough alums in the area to draw a decent rating. It wouldn't hurt to replace a re-run of "Heartland Poker Series" from the Water's Edge Casino in BFE Nebraska.

            If you didn't pick up on it I'm angry I have to work this weekend...

              The post on McFeeley's blog about the Bison beating OSU was obviously satire, but there are some arrogant idiots who don't show any respect to our opponents. Unfortunately, even if the Bison lose those same people will start doling out stupid excuses rather than giving credit to the Jacks. Now that I've said my piece, I am really looking forward to this game. I think the Bison will win, but the Jacks will be ready to play and I think it will be close throughout.

                Did the Big Sky screw up not taking SDSU and NDSU or what? Go Jacks.

                  It think the upper level programs in the BSC are laughing all the way to the playoffs as they stomp the lower level programs like UNC. Why invite schools that might take that opportunity away? Selfish and short-sighted as that might be, I think thats what they are doing.

                    I couldn't agree more. There is no excuse for this game to not be broadcast for those of us who have to work. I will be there in spirit and holding on to every WNAX word.

                    I believe, I really do. Bring that marker HOME!!!

                      You people are talking about finally maybe getting your first conference crown since the Kennedy administration and you're saying UNC is a lesser program??
                      You've had a fine season and I am happy your team is doing well but keep things in perspective here. We've had everything that could go wrong with a team happen this season and the fact we have a new coaching staff hasn't helped. And MSU, an upper level BSC team didn't really stomp us much. They won by a score of 13-10 and only scored off of our two turnovers.
                      I hope you do get the marker, you do deserve a conference crown. It's been long over due, but as for UNC, we'll be back.

                        I know, just had to stick it to you and the BSC a little bit. Its been a struggle for UNC and I hope they can get things back on track. Thanks for pulling for us.

                          Seriously, why do you come here to get abused? Face facts you are a lesser program. Your D-II championships were D-II championships and happened a very long time ago. Now days in I-AA you struggle to win more then 1 or 2 games. Last year's 4-7 season must seem like a dream season for you. You won 2 GWFC games in the 2 seasons you were in the conference. Your big bragging point for this year is that MSU "didn't really stomp us much". Come on. :

                          UNC's recent past:

                          2004: 2-9
                          2005: 4-7
                          2006: 1-9 (with one to play)


                          You guys are the poster child of "how not to move to D-I". :-[ I don't want to kick you while you are down, but you come on to our board and ask for it. If I was you I would :-X until my program regained some credibility.

                              From the Collegian:

                              http://www.sdsucollegian.com/media/s...ucollegian.com

                              Dakota Showdown
                              Jacks battle Bison for conference


                              Brian Kimmes

                              When the Great West Football Conference formed three years ago, SDSU and NDSU were the little guys. Now the border rivals are battling for the conference championship and the Dakota Marker in what may be the most intense game of the season.

                              The Jackrabbits versus the Bison. North versus South. NDSU versus SDSU. No. 4 versus No. 19. One game for the Great West Football Conference championship. One game for the Dakota Marker. One game to turn a good season into a great season.

                              On Nov. 14, the Jackrabbit football team battles the North Dakota State University Bison for the Great West Football Conference title. Both teams bring a perfect 3-0 conference record.

                              "That's going to be a game," said Southern Utah Head Coach Wes Meier after Saturday's game.SDSU has not won a conference title for 43 years, and has never won the Great West Football Conference.

                              Coach Stiegelmeier said this is the first time he remembers in his 19 years at SDSU that the team has a chance to play for a conference title.

                              "I don't think we're giddy about it because I think we're really mature," he said.

                              Stiegelmeier said playing for the conference title adds to excitement for the game, but his team's goal remains the same as it has every week: to go 1-0.

                              The Jacks face their stiffest opponent of the season in the Bison, who enter the game with a 9-1 record and a No. 4 ranking.

                              "They're (NDSU) really rolling," said Meier.

                              "It's going to be like a heavyweight fight," said Stiegelmeier. "They're a good football team. So are we." . . . (read more)

                                I was going to say something similar, 89, but uncbears already thinks I'm just itching to take shots at UNC. So, thanks for saying what I was thinking.
