Bison Forum

They put on airs and aren’t very good at football. All time NDSU:
Haven’t seen them since. That’s probably good for them, 176 Sagarin and a 28 pt underdog to the Herd. Maybe they will get better with the FBS transition underway?

ESPN to televise the SDSU GAME
Time TBD. Oct 25, hopefully it’s played on a beautiful fall afternoon. Might not go to the stadium but Rays Corner might be a likely place. Cash only.

Could be an interesting season with the loss of Miller and Brown. They were above average players.

Adjusting their statistics down to conference averages the Bison lose a combined net of 1,953 yards and 27 touchdowns. If Brown and Miller are replaced by average conference players that leaves the Bison with a season total of 4,752 yards and a total score of 421 pts.

If average is all the Bison get for replacements they would be among the Citadels, Tennessee States and SEMOs of the division. It would be a lot more exciting as well as disappointing.

There are a lot of other good players on the Bison making that kind of production possible for skilled players like Brown and Miller so the conclusion above is probably worst case. However, early games that are looking like yawners could be anything but.

I think Cole, if he stays healthy, more than replaces Cam's rushing yardage and matches his total TD count.

Whether or not the running backs can replace Marty is another question.

Relax guys.
We are back to earning back to back Natties. Anything short of that will be a surprise and a disappointment.

NDSU football expenditures No information on the Citadel expenditures

Tennessee State football expenditures look a lot like NDSUs. This is what a contending FCS school needs to spend NDSUs advantages won’t be financial. It’s going to have to come from coaching, recruiting, game plan, conditioning including food and nutrition and execution of the fundamentals.

For pre-season prognostication Browns departure will cost the Bison 35 yds/game.

Anybody know What kind of money will he get?

I'm guessing alot, since Miami outbid Nebraska

Imagine planning on spending tens of millions to become a glorified juco.

I can’t. That’s why NDSU should remain FCS. The Brown situation points that out.

SEMO, first meeting

Next up in the pre-season analysis. NDSU now 2-0
FINANCIAL TALE OF THE TAPE: ADVANTAGE NDSU
Financially SEMO probably looks more like Grand Valley State
