I live on the eastern side of Montana where half the people hate the Bobcats and all of them hate the Bizon. I fall into the category of hating the Griz and, by virtue of getting ND affiliates, have grown into a casual Bison fan...so this particular championship matchup is like a huge snort of coke for me!
Did anyone else notice the home cooking from the clock operator at the end? I would have been fucking livid if I was the JMU staff!!
Coming out of a timeout (stopped clock), NDSU had the ball 2nd and 8 with 2:58 left.
Runner gains 2 yards and is tacked with 2:54 left (should be around 2:10 left when the play clock runs down for the upcoming 3rd down play
But the play clock doesn't even begin for more than 25 seconds!!
So the ball is snapped for the 3rd down play with about 1:50 left.
So instead of calling a timeout on 4th down with ~1:30 left, NDSU calls it with 1:03.
Would the outcome have been any different? Who knows...but the play selection for JMU on the last few plays may have been different giving them a shot at the endzone.
Isn't that the usual LHN crew? Why were they calling an ESPNU game? I guess I've never really paid much attention, but I don't recall ever hearing them call a game not on the LHN.
Bob Dole dead at 98.

Foos are playing an outdoor venue in Big Sky next August that only holds 5000 people. They had a pre-sale on Nov 30th and I was able to get 5 tickets as Christmas presents for me, my wife, my son, his wife, and our daughter.
The rest of the ticket sales went live today (Dec 3rd) and sold out within an hour. Lots of people are bitching on the venue's Facebook page about scalpers buying them all up. They are going for more than $2000 each on Stubhub right now! With all the fees, ours wound up "only" being $200 each.
Now my daughter is only 9 years old...so I've given a little thought to selling her ticket and pocketing a grand while the four of us watch a great concert for free. But I also think it's cool as hell that a 9 yr old little girl loves the Foo Fighters and has been begging me to take her to see them ever since she learned last year that my son and I went to see them in Billings in 2017 (we told her we were going to a football game at the time). So I don't think I could bring myself to sell it.
Well, he plays QB. How many have we developed in the last 25 years? Four. And three of those were one or two decades ago. Dont get mad at me. I dont like it any more than you do.
