Never but their post game interviews really made it hard. Kept referring to Cam as the best QB on the field. Tommy won player of the year by three different organizations and was voted first team All American and Cam second. That's 4-0 Tommy!
Cam Miller was the best QB on the field Monday night. Absolutely no question about it.

I’m getting tired of seeing people say the Bison are a dirty team. They are very, very physical, but they aren’t dirty. Football wasn’t meant to played soft.

Anyways, while I’m sick of them, I don’t dislike them like I do UM. If anything, I respect the heck out of that program.
They got 2 personal fouls after the whistle and could have had at least 5 more that I saw. They hit Tommy late multiple times with no calls. They nearly took Taco's head off with no-call. They are obviously coached just like the Griz to push the envelope and see what they can get away with and try and get in the other team's head.

No, he wasn't. His coaches gave him a better scheme and his team helped him out more. He didn't have to put the team on his back and try to do it all himself. He had a great game, don't get me wrong. He executed their plan very well but he did not show me that HE is a better player than Tommy in any way, shape or form.

He never made a mistake. Made some big throws. Was composed the entire time. He was the best QB on the field that night. Maybe not a better player than Tommy, but he was the best QB on Monday.

So, you think targeting should be legal and throwing players down after the play is blown dead is ok? Gtk....

Going to the extreme’s to make a point is just lazy discussion. Do better.

One of the personal fouls was on the onside where he ran over a player, and then continued the block. I have no issue with it, at all.

Football is a physical sport. If you don’t think the Bobcat players push the boundaries occasionally, you aren’t watching. You cannot win without pushing the boundaries. This isn’t a sport or game for choir boys. There’s a grey area in football, and to be good, to win games, you have to win the grey area.

Yes….usually my interactions with Grizzly fans are a passing joke followed by “did you grow up in Montana.” When a Bison fan sees me in my Bobcat, gear it is initiated by an arrogant comment, then followed up by them fishing for a compliment about their program. They don’t like it when you don’t gush about Fargo being the center of the football universe. This happens literally every time I’m in the Costco on the weekend.
I wonder if you are the Bobcat I encountered in late June of 2022. I was in a little barbershop in a strip mall, near the big mall just off I-94 and something (my first time in Fargo). I had a Bobcat T-shirt on and you said “Go Cats” and that started a little conversation.
Wasn’t me. I haven’t been up to Fargo since last spring.

Football is a physical sport. People get injured enough as it is without teams obviously going out of their way to instigate scenarios where more players can get hurt. Play within the rules instead of just trying to see what you can get away with because the refs are either swallowing their whistles or not paying attention.

They're not helping themselves. Personal fouls. Injury cheering. More flopping like in their loss vs USD. Classless post-game.

I can respect what they've built. I don't like what it is becoming. I'd probably put them ahead of UM if it weren't for Bobby.

No.

They might be the most boring fanbase in the country…. After leaving the game, I literally did not see a single NDSU fan celebrating…. Not one clap, fist pump, “go bison” shout…. I don’t think I even saw one of them smiling.

Cat fans would have burned Frisco to the ground if we won. Hahahaha
that's called, been there, done that.

Hate the Griz, but Bison are a clear second. They are borderline dirty on the field. Cheering when Lonyetta was hurt was disgusting. Can’t stand them.
we went cheering him when he was hurt, NDSU fans started cheering because Trey Lance & Hunter Luepke from the Dallas Cowboys were up in the Suites and started a chant with Thunder no one wants to see anyone hurt

There was no insult, I just don’t think you like physical football.

I didn’t see anything where as a team, NDSU was doing anything to intentionally hurt players. I’ll guarantee you Vigen and the players don’t think they were dirty. Heck, I’ve seen opposing fans accuse MSU players of being dirty after we’ve kicked their ass. There’s generally a common theme among fans who do that. Sore losers.

The fans were cheering, although I doubt it was because of an injury. Don’t blame the team for fans poor decisions.

The players were hyping up the crowd. That is wrong when a player is down. Being down right in their bench area made it worse.

Gotcha! So your NFL guys in the suites were responsible for cheering while a player was hurt! Super classy! And you defending them is even more telling.

they were up in the suites behind the fans, we were turned around waving at them and they had THUNDER the MASCOT up there to do the specific cheer at the next stoppage of play

its called a marketing department and they gotta do what they are scheduled to do... not 1 bison fan was cheering for a hurt player.

You’re saying that was because of marketing!?!? It was an injury timeout, not a media timeout, so I doubt very much anybody was waving their arms saying “START THE CHEER!!!”

But if that is true, then they have an amazing lack of game awareness, because any kind of cheering with an injured player down is bush league. They might want to go find a different line of work if they thought that was the right time to do that…..
