Just a little sports chatter

Seventh Heaven indeed...once again the Bison head to Frisco and take care of business. This time beating a very game Eastern Washington team 38-24. No it wasn't an instant classic or even an above average game, but it was still a solid Championship game that was a fitting end to a season that had always been NDSU v the Field. The field came up short in this one and while they may have closed the gap a little, there is a still a wide margin between NDSU and the rest of the FCS. There will be a longer discussion about the Bison Dynasty (probably the best ever) but when you think of how sustained this run has been it's just incredible to think about. Take this postseason for an example...the Bison were down for less than 5 min in all four games and maybe with the exception on the craziness of the 3rd quarter in the championship game there was no real threat of someone actually taking control of a game. Here is the best stat that shows just how good the run of the Bison has been.

Well here it finally is...we've waited long enough, 20 days to be exact, for us to finally see how the 2018 FCS season ends. To see if the dynasty continues or do we see a "blue blood" rise back to the top and take the crown. Yea, I would be lying if I had kinda forgotten a little bit about this game. When you have 39 other games (well 40 when you include the Celebration Bowl...yea I need to talk about the HBUs) take place between the semi-finals and now, it's easy to put a game like this on the back burner. Yes, I will be bitching about that fact...I decided to talk about it after the game instead of before. But here is what we will do to refresh the memory...talk a little about how each got here, some keys to the game, and finally, I'll actually make a pick.
