The history of what both teams represent in the first-ever meeting
The Colorado Buffaloes kick off the 2024 season and second under Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders tomorrow night at home against the North Dakota State Bison before a national ESPN television audience.
In the 1800’s, millions of bison roamed America’s northern plains but in an effort to cut off the food supply and livelihood of Native Americans, the U.S. government began slaughtering the animals. Today, about 30,000 American bison survive in conservation herds. Another approximately 500,000 are managed commercially as livestock.
The Bison have a new head coach in Tim Polasek. A former college quarterback at Concordia University in Wisconsin, Polasek cut his coaching teeth under current Wyoming coach Craig Bohl, first at NDSU and the later as offensive coordinator for the ‘Pokes under Bohl before returning to Fargo after being named the school’s 32nd head coach last December. Another former Bison head coach, Chris Klieman, is head coach at Big 12 rival Kansas State.
Odds makers have the Buffs currently a double-digit favorite but everyone inside the Colorado locker room knows the Bison have a penchant for scoring big upsets, including beating Iowa and Iowa State on the road in the past decade.
