I was looking forward to watching Justin Fields take that fancy new defense to the porking lot and have a bunch of Midwestern hicks brag about how their football team makes their life meaningful. But now there is a new contender for Oregon's toughest OOC game with a hick fan base. The mighty Bizon of North Dakota State University. Winners of 37 straight games and the most dominant football team in America. I have recently learned that if they were given a chance they would be going neck and neck with Ohio State for the Big Ten title. They have knocked off such FBS powerhouses as Colorado State, Kansas, a 1 win Minnesota, a 3 win Minnesota, a rebuilding K-State, and EVEN AN 8 WIN IOWA.
Their fans seem like lovely people, although not as welcoming to Ducks as the fine people of this establishment. There are already 200+ pages of Bizon-Quook hawt talk, and I've been trying to keep up, since I am also retarded. It can be summed up as Oregon fans being outraged that NDSU isn't conceding they will get bent over, and delusional NDSU fans explaining that they are at least an equal to Wisconsin and getting offended if their team isn't constantly fellated.
Some C+P from this shitshow:
http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?35661-NDSU-vs-Ducks/page228On Oregon's run game: We don't sell out to stop anybody's run game. We just stop it.
On the advantage they have from those tuff big time FCS championship games in Frisco, Texas compared to the Rose Bowel: Have you personally witnessed that Friday practice in Frisco? Have you looked into the eyes of those players exiting that field when its over? How many programs can hold such an event?
NDSU has accomplished much more than Oregon, and Oregon hasn't been able to complete the easy task of getting just a few national championships this decade: So if Oregon has tradition as powerful as NDSU where are even a few national championships?
Recruiting rankings are never to be spoken of there, because Carson Wentz was drafted high: The "star" system is flawed. If Trey Lance or Carson Wentz would have grown up in a big metro area in CA, TX or FL how many stars would they have had? NDSU just has a bunch of FB players that bust their ass and punch people in the mouth. Should be fun.
On it being a road game: I have never, ever heard anyone list Oregon as a substantial home field advantage the way they describe places like Florida, LSU, Clemson, etc.
They beat EWU, they ain't scared of an equal talent team like Oregon: My point is that NDSU played a team with three future NFL-caliber receivers and still won. No need to fear the number of stars the Oregon players have as their talent level is not going to be something NDSU hasn't seen before and beaten.
This 19,000 seat stadium team, with a football budget like Oregon's assistant salary pool shouldn't be viewed as an FCS team, but more of a Big Ten one: With all do respect I believe you are reading too much into NDSU being FCS. That is by name only and would strongly recommend thinking of them as a B1G team.
On the prestige of the FCS vs FBS: Not FBS 5th place. FCS 1st place with the trophy and rings and banners to go with it.
On Penei Sewell and company: NDSU will have the best left tackle on the field in Eugene. And the better quarterback. And better tight ends. And better outside backers. And better strong safety. And better punter. And the better team.
Hey, they do know some things: Is Oregon the program that helped Big Play VA pass his math test?
Lots of talk about soft West Coast football, how West Coast men wear LuLuLemon, and Oregon's finesse style. When asked which program they would go 5-5 or better against in 10 games: Wisconsin or Michigan, although someone said they're better than Michigan.
The real loser in all of this is me. Because I read through that shit and posted it here. I'm sorry if you were also dumb enough to read this. It will get worse come September 5th, when Oregon can't pull of the upset of the defending champs. I'm jealous of Washington getting to open their season with a tune-up game like Michigan while we(?) have to take on a juggernaut.

Have they brought up App State beating Michigan yet?
This is gonna be a black eye for the Oregon program if they fuck it up. Good job AD, let's play the best FCS team before Ohio State to go along with the 9 game conference schedule.
The bison is a vicious animal.
GTFO
They are enthusiastic and ambitious. There's not much else going on in the Dakotas.
I don't know if Oregon will blow them out because they'll be trying to grind the clock. The Bizon might even win. But if it is a blowout I'm going to enjoy it a lot more than I usually would.
