Cats vs. North Dakota State Round 2 Predictions

[Hawks86]

After NDSU wins Saturday cats won't make play offs next with this staff

What's a bet that you would pay off to back up this insanely moronic statement? Cats will be a top 10 team and on the short list to win the National Championship next year regardless of what happens Saturday and who's coaching. You never post here again?

Let's meet face to face and I will lost when I want

Where is everyone getting this "NDSU isn't good at run defense" stuff? They are 17th in the nation which statistically puts them as the 2nd best run defense we will have seen this year. Sure it isn't on par with NDSU run defense of the past but they aren't a pushover.

Against SIU they allowed 55 rushing yards. Against UNI, 65. SDSU ran for 152 on them and SDSU averaged 220 YPG for the year. They had a few bad performances, mainly against UND,

It will be a challenge to run the ball but I believe we can, just not to the tune of 300 yards. And moving between the 20s doesn't mean much if you can't punch it in.

Some of you are the most negative bunch of whiners I’ve ever come across.

Worse than some egrizzers? You saw how virtually all of them cut and ran on the team eaerlier in the fall. Some said they would not attend any more games. Some said they were dropping their season tickets. Almost all wanted to fire the coach. Almost none of them stuck with the team.

Ya fans get caught up in the moment pretty bad at times.

It's been fascinating reading this board and the NDSU board this week. So many Bison fans are doom and gloom about their team and most over there seem to be predicting a Cat win. Then you jump on our board and so many are predicting not just a Bison win, but a BIG Bison win. Just funny how each fanbase views their team.

I'm expecting a hell of a game and a Bobcat win.

In fairness, yall were terrible until you changed QB’s. If Vidlak started the whole season, you probably don’t make the playoffs.

When you take sacks out, they’re allowing 4.8 yards per carry. We should be able to run all over them.

Not to mention they may be 17th in YPG, but they are 33rd in YPC.

NDSU this year faced teams that rank 9,19,45,51,63,91,95,97,109,110,119,& 122 (out of 122 teams) in rushing offense. The 3 teams in the top 50 (SDSU, Central Arkansas, UND) ran for 152, 221, & 215 yards. They've gave up 706 yards to the other 9 teams on their schedule. I'd be shocked if they were able to slow down your running game.

I want to believe. I really wanna believe.

LOL since my intention was to tell the gris troll to get lost and he says he will "lost when he wants" I'll call that mission accomplished.

If you watch them the eye test shows this.

Post not lost.

It’s a way to hedge your heart bet. If they win great, if not you get the satisfaction of being right. I just don’t know how you can celebrate a win when you do that.

I have a bunch of Griz friends that gave up after loss to NAU and hadn’t changed from that after wins over UCD and ISU (8 points each). An ex-player said they’d go 5-6 after NAU loss. They don’t like being reminded of that which is why you should always stick it out if you want to celebrate the good times.

Most likely a gris troll. A few dozen posts over a decade plus and all of them negative on the Bobcats. Just trying to get him to bet on whether the Cats win on Saturday or make the playoffs next year and to never post again if either happen, similar to go scats go.

Looks like NDSU isn’t interested. And most Cat fans aren’t as negative as some of the posters here. Go Cats Go!

Wow that surprises me actually

[DMMDCats]

It is a great day to be a Bobcat!

[TomCat88]

It is a great day to be a Bobcat!

What happened? How many were they allocated?

[PapaG]

NDSU 22
Bobcats 31

[DMMDCats]

It is a great day to be a Bobcat!

1. What happened?
2. How many were they allocated?

1. Too much for this little space, but I did get a box from the “collective”.
2. All of them: to infinity, and beyond.
