Ballgame!

Need to either get a stop or make them use clock. No quick drive here.

Defense is balling right now. Would be nice to get this to 17 or 21 before half.

14-0! Let’s go!

Which year was it where there was lightning and the game got delayed for an hour or so at halftime? Lot of rain that day too, though it was at the new stadium so the field was fine. We were going to stay for the second half despite the rain until the lightning came.

SDSU and the Montana schools will likely all have byes so there's no way we draw them. NDSU was ranked 12 and just beat the #11 team by 24. Pending other results this weekend, it wouldn't shock me if the committee gave them a bye too.

I think Sac is in regardless. They're a top-10 team now and unless we beat them by like 50, they're not going to drop that far in the rankings. Sac has the better win plus they've only lost to the three teams better than them so far. Meanwhile we lost to a pair of 4-6 teams. I would hope that us beating them gets us in at 7-4 but can't say for sure. Like someone else said, depends on how the rest of the bubble teams look. The Big Sky is highly rated so that helps. And beating Sac would be a quality win. But I think we'd have a better chance if we had lost to Idaho and Montana St rather than EWU and NAU.

Bottom line is we 100% have to win to have any sort of a chance.

I couldn't tell you what his pro prospects are but if he has them, going to a bigger school and playing well will make it more likely he gets drafted.

I think if we go 7-4 we'll have a good chance of getting in. We're behind Montana St, Montana, Idaho and Sac. Going 3-1 either means getting a signature win over Sac or beating all three of NAU, Port St, Idaho St. We know the committee will take 5 Big Sky teams, they did it last year. We also know that the committee is willing to take a 7-4 team over a 6-5 team even though the 6-5 team beat the crap out of the 7-4 team. So EWU is probably out since they're already 2-4 and would need to win at Montana St (among other game) to go 7-4. After the top-4 teams, we're the only other Big Sky team with only 3 losses.

Will we go 3-1 or 4-0 to end the year? I don't know. But generally speaking, over the past few years this team has shown a pretty consistent ability to beat teams worse than them while losing to teams better than them. We're a bad-good team.

Talk about a let down game. A week after hammering North Dakota State, North Dakota lost 27-0 to Northern Iowa today.

Unless I missed one (and there aren't many losses to miss), it's their worst loss since losing 37-6 to Cal Poly in 2005. They lost by 24 to South Dakota St in the title game last year and by 24 to Southern Illinois in the spring of 2021.

So probably the MCL and/or PCL then, depending how how you read “could be season ending”. Other option is it’s the ACL and they’re waiting for some sort of confirmation that’s what it is.

Either way, that’s too bad for him.

Good thing we only play one of those three this year. Of course to go 7-4 and make the playoffs, we'll have to beat one of Sac, Montana or Weber. Could also say 2 of those three plus NAU since they just beat Montana. We know from last year that playing all three of Sac, Weber and Montana tough but losing and going 6-5 won't be good enough.

Beach was down by 9 entering the 4th quarter too.

So 9 beats 1, 10 nearly beats 2 and 5 beats 4 by 34. Makes total sense.

Did we really foul that much more than SB in the first half? I think they shot 18 FTs and we only shot 5.

Big chance now for the Ags with the top seed getting bounced. Hopefully they take advantage.

LOL. Nailed it. Team that was 1-18 in conference not only beats an 11-9 team but wins by 20. Makes total sense.

Glad for South Dakota St. Made the semis in 17, 18 and 21 and lost the title game by 2 in 20 on a TD with 16 seconds left. Seems like they deserved a title at some point.

Would be nice to be watching or getting ready to watch the title game right now.
