NDSU Bison ready to bring it... Again

It's Gopher week here on NDSU's Campus. The fans, students, university, and especially the players have been waiting a year for their revenge on the Minnesota Gophers, after the heartbreaking 10-9 loss last season.

The NDSU Bison are currently ranked 1 in the FCS National Rankings and are looking for more votes and possibly, just possibly some FBS votes as well when they beat the Minnesota Gophers this upcoming Saturday.

The Bison are are 6-0 right now while the Gophers are 1-6. The Bison have looked amazingly impressive while the Gophers, well, that's another story...

In a Minneapolis Star Tribune article today, Minnesota's coach Tim Brewster made some interesting comments. "I know about the little guys in green coming to Minnesota ... a lot of the psycho-drama that [the media] loves to play out," Brewster said. "Well, you know what? We're going to be ready to play."

Well all I have to say is, NDSU will be ready to play to. Last year they smacked a much better Gopher team all over the field. And this years NDSU team looks like they may be better then last year. And Mr. Brewster, one of those little guys, *ahem* Joe Mays, I'm sure you've heard of him, yeah, he'll be knocking some of your players on their ass all day long.

Tim Brewster, you mention that your guys remember last years game and will be ready to play hard. Well, the Thundering Herd remember this as well. They had the game won last year but it slipped away in the closing seconds.

Last year there were about 10K fans in gold and green and I am surely expecting that to be doubled this Saturday.

It will be very tough, Mr. Brewster, to get your program to a national program when at least a quarter of your regular fans won't show up this Saturday.

Have fun looking up in the stands and seeing a good amount of your fellow Gopher fans' seats being given away to Bison fans; and worst yet, it will be even tougher to get your program back to national prominence after you get embarrassed by the little green guys from a state called North Dakota this Saturday.
