[darell1976]

I read on yahoo sports that this is the first meeting since 1937. Anyone know who won that and where it was?? I can't believe i am saying this but:



GO BISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please someone throw a dead Gopher on the field like we do during Sioux-Gopher hockey games.xlolx

I'm not 100% but I don't think the game has ever been in Fargo. The Bison are 0-6 against the Gophers.

[SiouxFallsJack]

Good luck Bison.

[gr8ness97]

Go Bison...Im gonna watch this game..

BTW, its 3-0 NDSU

[AppGuy04]

GO Bison, send those Gophers home

[darell1976]

If the Bison keep turning the ball over they are not going to win. Their defense is playing great. 3-3 2nd qtr.

[gr8ness97]

6-3 NDSU

[RadMann]

any updates on this game?

[AggiePride]

Go Bison

[bulldog10jw]

[RadMann]

Great to hear!

[Stang Fever]

I am so suprised that this thread is not like 10 pages long. you would think the bision fans would be on here. but they are prob. just watching the game. so if they win does that make them 1-3 in I-AA

[RobsPics]

Go NDSU Go Go Go!!!

[RadMann]

Is there a video link for this game?

[bulldog10jw]

TD Minn. 10-6 with 11:00 minutes left

[bulldog10jw]

FG North Dakota. They trail 10-9 with 5:42 left in the game

[bulldog10jw]

3rd and 1 ND at the Minn 45. 1:20 left.

Guess I'm way behind

[Dallas Demon]

Man, NDSU may win this one!

[laparka316]

near INT... looked like it bounced off the foot of the MINN player and he caught it... tough to tell

[gjw007]

3rd and 1 ND at the Minn 45. 1:20 left.

Guess I'm way behind
Your updates are still faster than the updates on CNNSI

[bulldog10jw]

They should at least have a reasonable shot at a FG

[skinny_uncle]

They are going for double membership!

GO NDSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Ball State game had slipped my mind. The mind can be a bit slippery at my age.
:D

[laparka316]

4th down... Shawn Bibeau... true freshman on for the field goal... 45 yards... watching it on espn plus... BIG GAME

[laparka316]

42 yards officially... Time out again for NDSU

[Mountaineer]

ESPNews has even picked up the feed!

[Rabbit3467]

this would be huge

[laparka316]

snap down... kick is up... blocked.... game over

[SiouxFallsJack]

blockd:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Mountaineer]

Blocked!

[skinny_uncle]

The suspense is killing me.

[skinny_uncle]

Yikes!

[ISUMatt]

DAMNIT...IM SO SORRY NDSU...YOU DESERVED TO WIN EASILY!!!

[Mountaineer]

And the Golden Gophers barely escape the mighty Bison!

[Dallas Demon]

Darn it, FG blocked.

[Rabbit3467]

dammit :bang: :bang: :bang:

[skinny_uncle]

How many 1 point losses have IAA had to IA this year? Seems like a lot.

[Dallas Demon]

What a GREAT showing by NDSU, they're for real. Congrats to the Bison on a hard fought game. xsmileyclapx

[AggiePride]

NDSU for #1

Great West all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ISUMatt]

NDSU for #1

i would have if they won, but not after a loss
ILS will keep my #1 vote

[AggiePride]

I'm biased ;)

I'm biased ;)

Apparently so is Matt. :thumbsup:

[skinny_uncle]

Apparently so is Matt. :thumbsup:
Ya think???????????

[NDSU_grad]

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm extremely disappointed by a 1 point loss to the Gophers. I don't know it's been posted here because I skipped to the last page, but the Bison were the better team. We left some points on the field today, but that's football.

I think everyone will agree with you.


THis loss should still have NDSU going higher in the polls IMO.

HEADS HIGH!

[No_Skill]

I am extreemly proud of that performance. The Bison WERE the better team. :thumbsup:

[ISUMatt]

why am I biased I had ISU right up there, UNH lost last week, ILS whipped SIU #7 SIU, and almost everyone has up top 5...also 9 other 1st place votes besides me, so Im not really biased...like I said if NDSU won today, they were my new #1

[RabidRabbit]

I think everyone will agree with you.


THis loss should still have NDSU going higher in the polls IMO.

Middle of the season, one point loss, two FG missed by NDSU, TD called back by clipping. MN did very little successful, but enough to eek the win.

This is a tougher game than versus K-State or Navy (two other IAA much earlier 1 pt losses to IA). IMHO. Definitely shouldn't be a drop in the polls. And after App St taking 2 OT to beat GSU team than NDSU dominated and UNH falling to a team Bison dominated.......

[ISUMatt]

I highly doubt Ill have NDSU dropping in my poll

[GtFllsGriz]

Congrats Bison! The Bison looked real tough to me today. They are playoff ready.

[ISUMatt]

too bad they arent playoff elligible

[Tod]

I highly doubt Ill have NDSU dropping in my poll

Matt, I agree with you completely. First, I ranked ISU #1 in my poll. Second, NDSU does NOT drop.

Good points.

[No_Skill]

I hope the Bison put up a good fight.

20% Bison Win :hurray: xprost2x :hurray:
70% Bison lose close game xsmileyclapx
10% Bison get blown out :bawling:

I hate being right. :bang:

[NDSU_grad]

The defense played unbelievable today, but the offense definitely made a few mistakes in the red zone. I think we were inside the 20 five times and came away with 9 points. That said, I've never been prouder to a Bison fan and "NDSU grad".

[Larz]

Watched the game on ESPN Gameplan, The announcing... one would think would be a little pro Gophers, Big Ten. It was not, they could not stop saying positive comments about the Bison. Comments about the Goofs were....why can't they get their game going? The announcers were not in a position to be homers, thats what made it so great.

[bkrownd]

I can't believe it was that close. Gophers should have had the hogs to move the ball up and down the field at will on NDSU. I wonder if Glen Mason will survive this debacle. Oh wait, this is the historically football-hostile U of M administration I'm talking about...nevermind...

[darell1976]

Good game too bad the Bison lost on a close game I knew they would not get blown out. One of the announcers on FSN-North said the difference between 1-A and 1-AA is not what it used to be thats why 1-AA teams are beating 1-A teams more frequently. So i think next year if and a big IF the Bison can get the Gophs to play in the Fargodome the score may be reversed. But good job NDSU today!!! xsmileyclapx

[No_Skill]

We are already scheduled to play Minnesota again in the Metrodome 10/20/07

[AggieFinn]

Played 'em tough. Nothing wrong with that effort. :cool:

[Gil Dobie]

I walked out of he dome with a smile, knowing the Bison outplayed the Gophers. Bison turnovers and mistakes kept the Gophers in the game. Bison stopped the Gophers running game most of the day, and the Gophers could not stop the Bison offense until they were deep in Minnesota Territory. 62,000+ at the game, awesome.

[SochorField]

What team had the ball when the game ended? Did Minn. run out the clock?

I didnt get a chance to see the game.

[Russ B]

NDSU's FG attempt was blocked as time ran out, according to teh recap at espn.com.

[Gil Dobie]

NDSU called timeout with 1 second on the clock before they attempted the FG.

[SochorField]

Ah, man. What a heartbreaker. Great game Bison.

[Hammerhead]

Was anyone else suprised by the NDSU team speed? It seemed like the Gophers took bad angles on defense and the Bison were almost always able to tackle the Minn. runningbacks on the outside before they could turn upfield.

The turnovers and penalties really hurt our offense and special teams. I would have never guessed that we could hold Minnesota to 10 points. The gophers are down this year, but they have played one of the toughest schedules in the nation according to the Sagarin ratings.

[bisonbill]

I just returned to the great state of North Dakota after seeing a great game. The NDSU fans were great. The team played great. There was a huge standing ovation for the team as they left the field. I counted 12 sections of the dome were filled with at least 90 percent Bison fans.

I came away satisfied but disappointed because we should have won. We dominated the Gophers in every phase of the game except the score board. The Gopher radio announcers were hilarious as we drove away from the Metrodome. "The Bison were better than we expected". I'm telling everyone right now. We were just plain better than the Gophers on Saturday !

[bisonbill]

I think they announced attendance of around 63,000 fans. I think that was the best turnout for the Gophers in the Metrodome all season. Against a lowly no good less talent patsy like the NDSU Bison from a lower division that should have been a 40 point win for the Gophers. 40-0 I believe was the prediction of one Gopher media smarty.

[Grizo406]

Great defensive game by the Bison!

Does this game make you prouder that the one played in Missoula in 2003?

[Gil Dobie]

No, the Bison won in Missoula :)

NDSU gets another chance at the Gophers again next year. :cool:

[swaghook]

I walked out of he dome with a smile, knowing the Bison outplayed the Gophers.

A lot of fans were still happy even with the 1 point loss with one exception that we saw a little future Bison from Iowa who was maybe 5 or 6 was totally devastated by the loss he was crying so hard. My wife gave him one of our game pennants to cheer him up. The crying lessened but for him that loss was too much to handle.

The Crowd was still rowdy singing fight songs on the way out of the Dome.:nod:

[Hammerhead]

Sid Hartman now thinks that NDSU was the better team and included this in his column:

"This North Dakota State team could play with a lot of teams in the Big Ten," said George Perles, who coached the Spartans from 1983 to '94. "They might not win many [against Big Ten teams], but they would give them a game."
