I get the frustration of the NDSU fans, but what is it with firing coaches? It’s a total team effort right? Strength of the Bison is the strength of The Herd. It was a great football game. Improbable I believe but an exciting roller coaster of a game Bison fans normally expect to win, especially with 5 TOs to the teams benefit.

A few fans saw it coming I thought it was bravado with the Redbird fans, not prophetic. Could the game have been taken for granted by team and fans alike? Coach advised several times Stay humble Bison.

James Madison went from just under 8 million in football spending to 16~ million in 2024. 8 million was a small budget for them down from their typical 11.5 in previous years.

I’m anxious to see what the money buys them.

How things have changed

[JBB2]

Here’s hoping Villanova and SFA are for real

lines were tweaking all week. In hindsight we weren’t patient. we could have skipped the middle and piled on the final, most favorable lines. They are good at leading players on. Last week it was the over unders.

On the other hand tomorrow is a crap shoot. play the board in front of you. it’s set by money flow not their strategies.

Systems like the GAM are destroyed if results are fixed. Natural tendencies are exchanged for intentional acts. Excited fans seeing “perfect” odds don’t care. it doesn’t matter when you’re guessing.

Took a flier on USD. They are all that’s left of the Dakota 4.

GO YOTES!!!
