NDSU first FCS playoff win

[cbrooks]

I don't know if there's many Bison fans that visit this site. Congatulations on there first D1 playoff win. NDSU beat Montana st 42 to 17 advancing in the FCS playoffs.

The Bison keep marching on!!

I watched it this afternoon and it was close until the 4th quarter when the wheels came off for Montana St. McNorton had four rushing TD's today and I wonder if he might be a legitimate NFL prospect. His numbers this season are definitely impressive and they'll need that rushing game if they want to move further into the playoffs as I haven't seen much to note when it comes to their passing game.

I have always kept tabs on the Bison since graduating and listened to a few of their games when I was back in ND hunting this fall. They let a couple games slip away this season that they should have won but are winning down the stretch when it matters.

I thought the bison defense was pretty solid as well. The game was alot closer than the score. I remember talking Bison UND rilvary awhile back with ya on another thread. Good luck to your team

Beating Montana was actually thier second playoff victory. They beat Robert Morris at home the week before for their first playoff win. two solid wins!

Nice way to break into the FCS playoffs... hopefully they can steal a few more games!

Playoffs??? Everyone knows that there aren't playoffs in college football. It would be too hard on the student athlete.

NDSU...future WAC champions! Maybe they'll be the new Boise State?

[LMITOUT]

WAC?

The game on saturday is at 2:30. I'm pretty sure its on espn3.com

[LMITOUT]

Hopefully they air it on one of the regional sports networks like they did last weekend. I started watching it on ESPN3 and then decided to flip through my sports package and found it on a channel called "Altitude" which is the regional sports network out of Denver.

Eastern Washington St. is the #1 team in the playoffs so it'll be a challenge for the Bison.

WAC = Western Athletic Conference. Boise State is leaving it to join the Mountain West next season, Nevada and Fresno State leaving to join BSU in 2012. So the WAC will need some new teams to fill in. Montana State recently turned down an invite to join the conference.

[LMITOUT]

Oh. I knew what the WAC was. Just didn't follow how it was related to NDSU.

[Steve Foss]

The Fison? Buck em!

[cbrooks]

I say go Bison. Looking forward to there renew rivalry up north here sometime soon I hope. Until those two teams start playing each other I'm not a hater. Too bad they couldn't be in the same conference.

[cbrooks]

One hour for kickoff

[LMITOUT]

Not looking good and I've only watched about the last 15 minutes of it. Too many mistakes against a better team.

What's up with the red field? It's as horrible as Boise St's.

TOUCHDOWWWWWN BISON!

[Steve Foss]

What's up with the red field?

Camouflages the bloodletting.

[cbrooks]

#22 for eastern Washington has 203 yards in the first half and the Bison are still and only down by a touchdown.

[cbrooks]

Yes. Touchdown. Tied up

[LMITOUT]

They WERE down by a TD.

Nice way to start off the 2nd half.

[cbrooks]

That sux

[LMITOUT]

Wow. Back to back kick-off returns for TD's. 26 seconds into the 2nd half and 14 points scored.

Let's go for the hat trick.

[cbrooks]

We need Mcnorton to take this game over like last week.
