Title: NDSU vs SDSU
Post by: OleYSUfan on December 06, 2014, 06:53:57 PM
NDSU defeats SDSU to advance in the playoffs. These are probably the best two teams in this year's playoffs and most likely would defeat any of the other teams that were chosen. Yet they had to play each other in the 2nd round.

It was a very, very close game with NDSU scoring in the last minute of the 4th quarter. Then getting an interception on the SDSU's 2nd play.

The MVFC has Illinois St. and NDSU still in the hunt.

SDSU passed and scored on second and goal from the three yard line with 3:18 left.  Bad mistake.  By just running Zenner perhaps twice they could have taken the game below 2:00 or forced NDSU to use their timeouts.  Nothing can stop NDSU from the title game now....their bracket is now a joke.

NDSU had a true freshman catch 2 TD's and a redshirt freshman make the game winning INT. Impressive.

Okay so winning a fifth would be the better choice, but that ain't happening an time in the next couple weeks ...so we need to hope for a loss.

NDSU has already surpassed us. Sure they only have 3 FCS titles total, but they have 11 titles in total to our 4. Their teams, quite frankly, are better than most of our title teams I am afraid to say. Furthermore, I have much respect and admiration for their program in Fargo. I would fully support them to win another title.

Hoping they lose because you still think we are the premier program in the conference is silly.

NDSU will win many more titles if they remain in FCS--they were always and probably will be always a top notch program.UNI is usually an elite team in the FCS and probably always will be--they have a gazillion league titles and nearly that many playoff appearances spanning many years and will always be perennial bridesmaids--the only chance they would ever have to win it all is if they faced YSU in the title game.

Not silly & has nothing to do with being the premier program in the conference. It has to do with being the second-most prolific team in I-AA history ...so their NAIA and DII titles do not count. As of now YSU is up 4-3 and I want to keep it that way. In terms of I-AA title appearances, it is YSU 6-4 over NDSU. That being said ... CCSU does not have a snowball's chance & we need to hope Nova wins. There is simply no one on that bracket that has chance to beat them out side of SDSU & they squeaked by.


I also disagree with you on the long-term success of NDSU ...I expected them to come back down to earth this year, but the new coach kept the staff (hint Strollo) and the style. Again as soon as he wants to leave his mark on the team ...they will fall to the middle of the pack, just like we did.

YSU was a dynasty in the 90's, that was it. NDSU is head and shoulders above us, plain and simple.

Nothing we can do about it now.  Had they got it done against western Illinois or Indiana state we would be in there.  And the reason we now are searching for a coach.   We have slipped into mediocrity. UT may have the athletes to get it done

Furthermore when have we ever been relevant in this conference? Tressel won a national title while a member and could not win this conference. Heacock won it once outright & once in a tie. In that same time period UNI has won the GFC/MVFC 9-times. Yet as mentioned they have never won a national title.

1AA Fan,

YSU was relevant 3 of the 4 years Tressel was HC. How is making the playoffs 3 of 4 years, playing in 2 NC Games and winning 1 NC not being relevant? The largest crowd in Stambaugh Stadium history and MFVC history is 21,119 for the UNI-YSU game in 2000. The 2nd largest crowd in MVFC History is 20,813 for Indy State at YSU in 2000. 3rd largest crowd is Buffalo at YSU(20,519) in 1997.... 4th largest crowd is 20,398 for SIU at YSU in 1998. 5th largest crowd is Cal-Poly at YSU(19,682) in 1999... YSU went 2-2 against UNI in those 4 seasons, and 1-12 since. YSU's largest single season home attendance average was 18,109 in 2000. That is 4th highest in MFVC history, behind NDSU each of the past 3 years. Will likely be 5th best once this year is over. Tressel ranks as the league's best overall record in teams first year in MVFC at 13-2 in 1997. That mark could well be tied or broken this year by the coach at NDSU

AS for this thing about NDSU winning a 4th NC, if they are able to do so, I say hats off to NDSU. Nothing that any school does, or has done since the 90's can diminish what the YSU teams of the 90's accomplished.

Same is true for the Georgia Southern teams in the 80's, 1990 and then 99-01
The EKU teams of the 80's
The streak Montana had for making the playoffs(17 straight years), and their 7 appearances in the NC game under multiple coaches.
Marshall playing in the NC game 6 times, including 91,92,93,95,96 to go with 1 time in the 80's.

I agree with Valley Talk and ysu0505. What NDSU accomplished in D2 does count and is relevant when talking about success of a PROGRAM. I have noticed many people make mention on this site of the YSU playoff teams in the 70's. Those teams accomplishments are promoted by the YSU Athletic Dept, the same way that in men's basketball, the success of all the Roselli coached teams way before YSU joined D1 or even joined the NCAA are trumpeted.

Too bad SDSU's coaches decided to play "not to lose"! I hate when what works for you for 57 minutes gets changed for the last 3 to play "prevent"  :o Too bad the best team won!
