May the Schmaltz be with you?

You made it that far? 2-1 followed by seven turnovers by UND in one zone entry by DU and the remote car starter was triggered.

Samford is 18. Jackson State is 114. https://masseyratings.com/cf/fcs/ratings (sort by SSF column)

Massey projected SOS (end of regular season), 25 best SOS listed: MVFC (11 teams): 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 19, 21, 22 <- 11 of 11 BSC (12 teams): 4, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23 <- 10 of 12 The first non MVFC/BSC team shows up at 18.

Piker. I'll see your $1M and raise you $1M. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11419121/Paige-Spiranac-sick-criticism-LSU-gymnast-Olivia-Dunne-slams-belittling-women.html

Back room dealings instead of analytics. The stogies and scotch vendors have to stay in business somehow.

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.

Shhh ... you said the quiet part outloud.

From the little I saw Saturday, the only drop-off from Luepke to his backup is Luepke is more than a back. Luepke could just as easily be a TE.

If some of the FCS Stats poll folks that run with the Herd(er) hadn't talked UND down the last month, a scenario where UND wins a close game could have still left NDSU with a bye week (top 8). As it stands, should NDSU lose it likely costs them top 8.

Why aren't they even putting the NCAA FCS "Simple Ratings System" rankings out this season? Want to be plausible and credible? Be transparent in your dealings.

Somewhere Bo and Woody are chuckling.

Per Massey, this time next week UND will have played the second toughest schedule in FCS (behind only USD) and will have no fewer than 7 wins. ______________________________ Herder: "When you have a weaker SOS (Holy Cross 72nd, Jackson State 114th), I need to see you dominate and outclass inferior opponents." Sounds good. But what about when you have a monster SOS and 42-7 (InStU) a weaker opponent on their field.

Who are they helping.

Help … whom. And how.

Blocked punt. Blocked EP to leave it a two score (nine point) game. Where’s my weekly read of “our specials teams aren’t”?

The opening line is set (guessed) to balance the incoming bets. If the first guess is off they move the line to restore balance. It’s all about the vig. The house ain’t doing this as a public service.

Whatever it needs to be to make the books balance and take their vig.

Someone payed attention on Exodus day in Bible 101 class, eh?

DU trips. 8:26 left and UND going on power play.

Escaped again. We need 5x5 play.

Stupid cross check on Moore.
