Homecoming, #1 vs. #3 in the nation, winner gets inside track for the Valley title, only team to beat NDSU last year….yeah, I think this is pretty big game. Need to get the crowd into it early and often. Last two home games; everyone knew the point spread would be 40+ and most left both games at halftime. Need to get the crowd back to “playoff loud.” It’s going to be fun.
This game is the difference between home field, more tailgatting, 12-man advantage or traveling (plane or driving) on the road in December.
It is worth it to lose your voice. Make all kinds of noise for their offence. This is the UNI game from last year.
GO BISON
The home field means almost nothing in this series with YSU. The home team has only won one game, and that was in 2008 when YSU was home.
Now that we have a guilty plea nothing could have more impact on the players than a one game suspension starting today. And I am a Bison fan and Alum.
I disagree. I think the punishment set forth in their plea deal covers it pretty well.
50 hours of community service and 360 days of probation along with court fees and lawyer fees is plenty.
Good call fan.
Drevlow didn’t play in last year’s game against YSU. He was out with an injury. Last year Drevlow was an important part of the defensive line and I think the team really missed him during that game.
Can’t wait for the Bison offense to line up against that YSU defense that looked so bad when they played UNI.
