Really great game. High respect for your players and Coaches. Really respect Vigen, and I’m sure we’ll play again soon. 2 closely matched teams.

I’ve been on the losing end of a few big games. Playing the, were the better team card is something I haven’t tried. It’s pretty weak, for the record. But as long as it makes you feel good, cause it’s all about your feelings.

I think a lot of your fans say, we’re the better team, we were 15-0. Well, you played a Big Sky schedule, and you didn’t play Colorado. With our schedule, your not 15-0, just the way it is.
Well, sometimes the better team just has a bad game … or just a bad half even.

I mean, do you really think USD is a better team than NDSU? I don’t.

Your team won the game. Got the trophy for the tenth time. If you want to boost your feelings by spending your time on this board taking a victory lap … ok I guess.

Conference games on the road can be tough. Ndsu was up 11 with 4 minutes to play, gave up a long TD, mishandled a kickoff to get pinned deep, and gave up a TD as time expired. These things happen. I didn’t try to suggest we were the better or worse team. We lost the game, the rest doesn’t matter. You win the next one.

And Montana State will get one. You have a great team and fan base.

I believe the Cats had the better team and underperformed for a half. Feel free to disagree or call it weak or whatever.

It’s been awhile, but we already have one.

And … the MSU fanbase is the best in the country. Can’t wait for next year.

I still try and understand why people think the big sky is so much weaker than playing in the MVFC. Obviously NDSU/SDSU are on a tier by themselves until MSU/UM can string wins against them, but other than them what teams make it a tough schedule. USD has strung two good seasons and this year they were obviously comparable to a UCD team. then what, Illinois state lost to UCD in the playoffs by 30 and then Missouri state if eligible was the other playoff team from the conference and they lose to a down UM team. What teams are you putting ahead/equal to UCD, UM, sac state/idaho (although those two teams will struggle moving forward with coaching changes and portal)? Southern Illinois made the playoffs last year lost to Idaho, UND made it last year and lost to sac state, UNI hasn’t made it to the playoffs since 21 and lost to EWU.

I mean, we are 14-1 with your schedule, no questions asked. But didn't prove it on the field in Frisco.
