ND State at EWU Game thread

[marceagfan5]

We should be charging rent, we've got more NDSU/EWU people here discussing the game than Bisonville and...whatever the EWU site is called.

We are losing all our bandwagon fans, way more ewu discussion over here than on our site, haha...

I've been pretty vocal that losing Baldwin and 3 receivers who were in NFL camps would hurt the Eagles far greater than any Eagle fans would like to admit. You had defended your team (as you should) saying it won't hurt too badly. After the last 2 games, I'd be interested on your take. Is everything still just peachy in Eagle land or are fans starting to realize just how good Baldwin and those receivers were.

Things are definitely not peachy over an eagle land, a lot of upset people. I did defend Eastern, and thought we would be much better. If you look at the North Dakota State game last year in Fargo, we basically played that game without kupp the entire second half and part of the second quarter, and hill really didn't play at all, so we played with basically the same team that started this past Saturday, but Saturday was an absolute train wreck compared to last year.

Coach best seems to be a little less aggressive, but I think that will change as this team is built for big play threats and throwing the ball all over the field.

I do think I will save judgment for Eastern until after the next two weeks as there's not many teams in the FCS that would have performed much better over the first two weeks with easterns schedule. But I will admit, they have looked much worse than I thought they would…

Fair assessment. I would actually reserve judgment too as maybe it's just taking longer to gel. I think we are all seeing just how important Baldwin was in that program. His loss is bigger than the receivers moving on IMO. I think a win at Fordham will get them some momentum.

I think really for both schools week 4 is the benchmark. I think they should win this week, as should the Griz. I picked them to tie for first with UND in the Big Sky, so I think they will start to hit stride as the season goes on.

Griz fans start threads and discuss them on eGriz?! f*** it, burn it all down.

Right...but there are no Griz gameday threads at the Bison fan forum. I wouldn't still be here if it were not for the consistent level of attention Griz fans have in regards to NDSU and surely there would not be as many EWU fans if you didn't also consistently talk about them as well.

Right . . . but there are no Griz fans consistently posting on T-Buffville.
Second, it's an EWU game thread, it would exist no matter who EWU played.
Finally, you don't get to chime in about Griz/Eagle fan relations.

Not true. There are multiple Griz posters on the Bison fan forum.

Maybe so it was directed at EWU, but any time there is a Bison game against a highly ranked opponent, a Bison game against an FBS team, or a Bison game that is close, you guys start a thread here. Not to mention all the threads directed at a wide variety of Bison football discussion points.

And as far as fans go, you're second to none on the Bison focus.

I confess I didn't know if there were Griz fans posting on the Bison site. I've never been there.
And, as far as focus goes, I'm second to none on the Bison fans on eGriz.com. Check yo diff'rences, pard.

Finally, 2011 Bison Alumni are a lot. What year did you graduate?

For sure on the last point. Tech was a throw away, UNDSU was kind of a runaway late. I really don't think the Bizon would have won by that margin more than twice in 10. The good news for EWU fans is that when you have so many fans up in arms about every little thing, it means you've made it as a program. It's akin to being sued for the first time. If we could just get you back to the Albi . . .

Yo, Buff fans, it dawned on me today that for the song "Amazing Grace" if you take out all of the references to "Grace" and replace them with "Bacon," the song makes much more sense. Now after church, and while in line at "The Golden," bet you'll be humming this updated version. You're welcome.

There were in fact a lot of graduates at NDSU in 2011. Seniors that year on the football team were the first in awhile to end their tenure, as college players, as national champions. Had to pick a username and used this given I was fiends with several seniors on that year's national championship team who stuck with the program through some bad times.

I graduated in 2010. How about you?

Dude come on. Miss America on Sunday was from ND. Everyone knows the most attractive people in the country come from that state, just like the the best FCS football program.

Ms Montana on the other hand....yikes. Maybe if the guys in Montana weren't running around on the weekends with Velcro gloves the ladies would try a little harder.

That's a heartwarming tale of fiends going through bad times. Just guys being dudes, I get it. I actually didn't go to UNDSU.

You're obviously biased--fats gravitate towards other fats. It's simple physics

That's a shame.
