Line is Bison-25. I think I would take that and the Ags. NDSU beat UND by 21 with A second string QB for UND. Beat Delaware by 25. I don’t see either of those teams as being as capable as UCD. A lot of uncertainty in lines of course.

By the way central Minnesota is really beautiful this time of year. Lakes and woods and ag. fields. Hardwoods starting to turn colors. Roll into Fargo tomorrow. Anyone know what hotel the team is staying at?

After reading about the Syracuse's head coach using a chess philosophy (move fast and hope for subsequent 2 moves if opponent can't keep up) in football, i.e., more plays leads to more opportunities to score leads to better win opportunity, I thought I'd work up some stats from NDSUs 2018 season and 3 games to date in 2019 with a loss from 2017 thrown in. That doesn't seem to hold with NDSU. See attached. Retirement has its benefits.

Last time these 2 teams met in Fargo in 2005 the Ags won. Pretty good year- Stanford and NDSU. Bison had 5 yards rushing that day - don’t think that will matched Saturday, but the Aggie D is going to have to step up.

time for the band to break out the Shostakovich (under Soviet times) - “we will rejoice-we will rejoice!”

I senses at least watching the Lehigh game that the Aggie D woke up. They will need to a play with a very high intensity in Fargo and win turnover battle. I watched the Delaware game. No protection for the Delaware starting QB who was also slow afoot and frankly I don’t think a very good QB (stared down receivers). Delaware went to a mobile QB in second half with much more success (nil in first half). The Aggie O-lime will need to protect Maier. I think they actually did pretty good at that in Cal game. A viable running game will help too. I do think the Ags are clearly the best team NDSU will have faced this tear - but to date they have not been challenged.

Ags were gashing USD with run game initially but run game has not been consistent. Gilliam seemed to be a bit reserved against Lehigh. He had been taking pretty much the full load till then.

A lot of receivers saw action in the Lehigh game, including Babb and Blake Thorpe. One thing has has become evident - Crawford is a go to guy because 1. He gets open 2. He does not drop the ball.

thanks old band alum! I can tell you the trombones we’re out of tune on Hail to California fanfare.

who are we, Cal State East Bay? Shared this with my wife. She is a Hayward State CSUH CS East Bay grad. She replied Hey, we don’t have a football team.

Sad that there’s a rent a drummer group from Sac instead of Aggie Band-uh

Need every thing spot on for next week. Can’t be missing kicks.

Download the big sky app or watch big sky. You can airplay it or cast it from there.

golf claps.
LOL.

Unfortunately pretty much only Aggies that know Bossy Cow Cow are band-uh members.

Jacksonville State University from Alabama. They have had a strong FCS program the past several years. They are on the Ohio Valley Conference.

Big surprise that Idaho hanging with Wyoming.

Jacksonville state picks Barrier to seal win. A very very disheartening loss for EWU after getting out to a big lead and leading all game till last minute. Barrier and EWU were unstoppable on first half and very mortal in second half. JSU was able to get some pressure on him.

Barrier and company have 59 seconds to score a TD to pull out win. 49-45 JSU over EWU.

Tune in folks to espn+ if you have it. JSU looking to win at end of game.

JSU blocks punt deep in EWU territory. Scores to pull within 3. EWU stud linebacker Ojo injured. 5:55 to go in game. Very entertaining game.

JSU scores first drive of 2nd half to pull within 7?at 35-28. Can’t get a snack or drink without missing a score this game.

45-7 with 3 minutes to go 3rd quarter. Looks like Poly having trouble on D again. Should be more competitive against a lower tier pac-12 team.
