    The thing that scares me the most as a Bison fan is Junior Bergen. NDSU has been pretty bad covering kickoffs this year and their punter hasn't been consistent in getting the hang time needed for his coverage to get downfield. I'd expect NDSU may surrender some pretty decent field position on special teams just to try to keep Bergen from busting a big one.

    Yea, Tab wears the fur coat, I think the misses does to and maybe the little Tabs as well.

    I doubt the spread will be 18 but it should be. Smart money is on Montana regardless of the spread and take the over because with the altitude, the Bison are gonna have to reach deep into the twos and threes on D and they have pretty much dropped their pants in every blowout game this year. Bet the ranch, leverage your 401k, cash out the kids college funds and bet heavy on the Griz. #BOOKIT.

    Can somebody at the University of Montana invoke the wrath of the Thundarr the Bison God before He goes back to sleep?

    Maybe say something bad about hard red spring wheat or something.

    Added the stats breakdown to the first post - there's some really intriguing statistical matchups between the Bison offense and the Griz defense:

    1) The Bison offense is 4th nationally at 241.8 rush yards per game and the Griz defense is 9th allowing only 97.2 rush yards per game.
    2) The Bison offense is 1st nationally in team passing efficiency and the Griz defense is 4th in defensive pass efficiency.
    3) The Bison offense is 3rd nationally in 3rd down conversion rate at 51.5% and the Griz defense is also 3rd in opponent 3rd down conversion rate at 29.2%.

    I'm going to guess those NDSU offensive averages to down and the Montana defensive averages go up after this game but those are big time stat categories that these units have basically been winning all year and someone has to lose them on Saturday.

    Remember in September when Griz fans thought Hauck was going to be fired?

    Remember the Bison meltdown after UND?

    Not sure about the Griz fans with Hauck but I'd guess that if NDSU loses this game the huckleberries in our fan base will be out again calling for Entz's head. I'm also nervous about transfer portal announcements if/when the NDSU season ends which will be another opportunity to pile on the coaches. There are allegedly multiple current Bison players sitting on 6 figure NIL offers from P5 schools.

    This is the furthest we've been since 2011 (or 2009, if you want to be technical). I think the job is his for as long as he wants it win or lose.

    His Mrs does indeed and I have seen their son wear the fur coat too. I think Mr TAB got new chains last year too?
