no I went on to chat with the guys who called games back then (can’t recall names) leading up to big games. They did a show during the week

When the Ags were in the Great West I did a weekly radio segment with Northern Colorado announcers called “around the great west” that aired before their games and previewed all the game for the week. (Was a quicker breakdown of my column) Those were the days of Vincent Jackson at WR for the Bears.

100%

I wish I had the game tape to go back and look but I don’t remember a ton of adjustments to stop the guys on the outside

I believe That game on YouTube vs UND is all that remains from those great teams of 99-2001. Can’t find anything anywhere (beyond Wikipedia) as the details on the UCD FOOTBALL site starts w scores from 2002. I was covering the team for d2football.com in the 2001 season. Had done a radio show w KDVS leading up to Tarleton St game. I remember no one on the D2 site
Thought the finesse Ags could hang w UND and we did a big article going back and forth (point/counterpoints) w the MW writer. Fun. Damn that’s a long time ago now.

Bloomsburg 2000 and there isn’t a close second IMO. 48-29 lead going into the fourth quarter. Best offense in Aggie history? Headed to national champ game with a win. (Would have won). Lost 58-48 I believe? Ags corners were out on islands and bloom just kept abusing the Ags on the outside. Watched this one in person. Just stunning.

2001 is frustrating as well bc UCD outgianed UND (JTO threw over over 300 but UCD couldn’t run the ball) Ags we’re out manned in the trenches. A mobile, NFL caliber QB helped to make up for it by moving all over and making plays (Enos Broke collarbone vs Tarleton St game before and missed this game)
I believe the following happened:
-pick in UND endzone from the Und 5
-missed 25 yard field goal
-out on downs at the UND 5
-out on downs at the UND 1 (although if there was replay I think Holloman got in on that final dive)

Pretty freaking awesome and you know the videos via the phone don’t even do the noise justice.

Friday night is must watch football. Also for those that haven’t seen the Bison entrance I hope they show it. It’s legit.

they do but I think only team has a chance to beat NDSU is SDSU and that game is this week. Should be a fun one!

Tricky 3 game stretch w @ NDSU, Montana, then to the Alerus Center.

Bye later in the year is nice.

If Recruiting is strong (which it should be) playoffs 100% in the cards for the next few years. Was great to get a seed this year, huge benefit. Program is headed in right direction. Aggies will be competing for BIG SKY titles for years to come I think.

National championship game is Friday night in the Fargo Dome. Only team with a shot to beat the Bison is South Dakota St. Everyone should tune in for that one, shouid be a good one. QB’s on both sides as fantastic.

While they lose Doss (and that’s a huge loss) the Ags are SO young on offense. I know they return quite a few D started too but do take a couple more hits on that side to graduation.

Hell of a season. Future is bright. This hurt tho.

Running on 3rd and 2 not working. Three straight possessions. They are loading the box. Run something else.

This defense is just straight balling. Get them some points.

That was a catch.

D is balling. This effort to this point is awesome. Wow.

Perfect throw. Great catch. Find a way to get up more than one score and see how EB reacts. Keep the pressure on.

KICK THE FIELD GOAL

I’m in shock at what I just saw

Banged his head hard. Think we’re looking at concussion maybe.
