The Sicatoka

Two penalties apiece from your fifth year senior forwards is not leadership.

What did I say last night? Paraphrased: They need to string two in a row. And they did not.

UND has the head to head over YSU.

Must score on this PP opportunity. (Did teams change uniforms from last night?)

My points statement is wrong: Arizona, SDSU, and Indiana State put more than 21 on them.

Make the pick and it changes the demeanor of the game. Same for the scoop. Don’t and the game stays as it has been.

Call the rule book as written or change it.

If today would’ve been against Western Illinois or Indiana State it’d be a problem. UND just put more points on NDSU than anyone but Arizona. EDIT: SDSU and IndState also put on more than 21.

Losses to SDSU and NDSU and an FBS. Second most difficult schedule in country. Oh, scored more points on NDSU than anyone but an FBS (Arizona).

Run a fake punt up 21 and then run a play where the QB is an open field blocker? Not sure which is dumber …

UNI 49 7 USD 0:11 left in first half

A Yote sighting! UNI 42 7 USD

Cats 28 7 Griz

“Salukis led 21-7 with less than 9 minutes left and, barring a semi-miracle, are going to lose in regulation.” SIU’s season summary. Now final: YSU over SIU.

Correction UNI 42 USD 0 … 11 min left in 2nd … quarter.

Someone forget to tell USD they have a game today? UNI 28 USD 0

So it’s about reputation and feelings (FCS stogies and scotch seeding process) and not cold analytics (NCAA hockey PWR)? And they wonder why I trust hockey more.

Yup. I just saw him (OTT24).

85, 57, and 24 all playing for OTT today. Yes, we have a JBD sighting. Twenty years old, running the point on an NHL PP1 unit. What can’t Jake Sanderson do (besides stay healthy).

Pro tip: Bet the under on that.

The signature win of the season for either team will be this game. That has to sting one side when their non-rival will be their signature win. Per Massey (11/14/22): NDSU W: 22, 27, 30, 34, 54, 60, 104, 126, NDSU L: 2 and FBS 77 UND W: 23, 27, 28, 34, 37, 52, 60 UND L: 2, 22, and FBS 69 The significant difference? NDSU beat 22 (SIU); UND did not.

The Cooley hit from Thursday night: yes, he earned the suspension. Make that hit 40 years ago and Cooley would’ve needed a dentist and a cut man.

What’s with WDAY Bison pre-game show using a UND helmet that hasn’t been used for close to a decade. Low bid; low budget.

And a coach’s challenge triggers what? Another review.

We’ve seen glimpses of that team. Can we see it two games in a row? Unless we do, tonight means little.
