As long as we are giving credit where credit is due, boy has that Jensen kid come around as a QB.....The gophers have a tendency to make QB's look good, but he threw some great passes down the seem, and was in complete control the whole game. With Jensen, and Thorton on the Bison QB depth chart it makes it easy to see why Mollberg would end up choosing UND. He won't get to play a ton right away at NDSU....maybe until he's a junior.

What number were you? I missed you on the field.

What will we see more of this year......gopher wins or threads on Bisonville on DaveK?

NDSU would fare better next week at Michigan than the gophers would. You talk about a football team that is beyond horrible. The funny thing is that you've got Glen Mason up in the booth laughing his ass off thinking about how Tim Brewster absolutely drove the program into the ground.

Of all the guys that formerly played for the Sioux, I'm rooting for Genoway to get a shot with the wild like you wouldn't believe. You never hope for injuries during a season, but I hope someway somehow Chay finds a way to crack the lineup during the regular season.

The Lamoureax-Lamoureax-Karvinen line might be the best line in women's college hockey. If they stay together this season you are talking about a line that, to quote my good friend Dean Blais, "Could score 100 goals".

All credit to the Bison for kicking Minnesota's A$$.... Is NDSU that good, or are the gophers that bad? I mean, NDSU looks like the DI A team, and Minnesota looks like they are a lost little puppy. Well, I guess they have looked like lost little puppies for most of the season. 31-14.....Bison. Thats too bad because I had the Bison winning 27-24....darnit.

7-0 Gophers......

Pretty easy choice for Mollberg......sit on the bench for two years, then maybe play (NDSU), or go to a place where he could be the starter in year two. I think they redshirt him, and give him the keys to the offense as a redshirt freshman.

I guess there are some positives to take out of this football game, I thought about it and came up with: A) Either NDSU or the Gophers will lose this weekend...+ B) The Minnesota Football Program is at this point no better than a I-AA school....+ C) Gopher fans will get confused because half of them don't know the difference between UND and NDSU.....+ D) NDSU's best sport is even keel with Minnesota's worst sport....+ I'll stick to my pick. NDSU 27, Minnesota 24. USC isn't as good as people think they are. New Mexico is 1-2, Miami is okay, should have beaten the gophers, but still 0-2. I personally don't think it will be that close. NDSU has had a full two weeks to prepare for the gophers....heck, probably three weeks because St. Francis just served as a filler.

I'm glad that this thread was originally started four years ago...... I'm all for the success of the state of North Dakota, but I can't cheer for NDSU.....I was at the game in 2006 when NDSU beat the gophers all over the field, but still managed to lose the game on the blocked field goal at the end of the game. I was there with a couple of NDSU pals and was treated horribly by NDSU fans the entire game (hallways, bathrooms, etc.). My NDSU pals even got in the face of other NDSU fans trying to tell them that I was cheering for the Bison. I guess I should add that the only thing I was wearing was a green hat with the interlocking ND. The day was perfectly capped off that night at Joe Sensors when a group of drunken NDSU fans started a DII Faggots chant when a number of Sioux fans were there watching the Sioux-Maine hockey game..... I just won't watch the game. I can't cheer for either team. I will give a prediction though. NDSU 27 Minnesota 24 Because NDSU should beat Minnesota.

Nice response. Now lets cover people when they pass it..... Nice job by the offensive line and Miller on that run. An 80 yard TD run against a DI-A defense is impressive.

Yep....issues in the secondary....no way.

No way....problems in the secondary....where is Bubba Schweigert when you need him? I have never seen a Sioux defense look so confused in the secondary. I mean letting guys run wide open, or getting the coverages messed up. Fresno could get to 70 if the coaches don't get it figured out.

Wish I could make it, but I have family commitments to attend to. Hopefully the Alerus is full regardless of the team that they are playing. My first Potato bowl occurred at the old memorial stadium, when the Sioux took on Crookston of all teams. Even though everyone knew the Sioux would put up half a hundred on Crookston that day, the stadium was full and it was a great atmosphere the entire game. When the Sioux are in the Big Sky I'd love to see them schedule the potato bowl game for Montana or Montana State. It'd be nice to set it up for alternating years, Montana one year, Montana State the next etc.

UND will not win this football game, however it would just be nice to see them get better in certain (hopefully all) facets of the game. ~Shore up the penalties... ~Shore up the secondary... ~Try some different things on offense in the passing game and play action. ~GIVE THE BALL TO GARMAN.....I can't believe they pulled his red shirt....they use him so little..... I think this is a big game for the coaches too. Lets look like a DI coaching staff and make the adjustments as they come during the game. I'll say Fresno 42....UND 14.

Its been that long since NDSU has seen the Nickel....wow, that was a long time ago....

Thank you for taking off your green and yellow shades and stating the obvious. I mentioned this fact maybe 12-13 pages ago and I've had a lot of people try to refute this point. Where were you the entire time FargoBison?

The gophers are a terrible DI-A team. I really don't care who wins that game. If NDSU is as good as advertised (and my NDSU grad brother tells me they are), they should beat a team in a stadium that will be half filled with their fans. Give Jerry Kill (I really hope he is okay, and all the prayers in the world to him) 3 years to turn that mess around because Brewster absolutely drove that thing into the ground.

Nothing wrong with a little national exposure. I'd rather have the Sioux travel to Fresno State and get killed then play a NAIA school at home. This is the world of DI-AA football or FCS, whatever you want to call it. Teams like Fresno, Idaho, Texas Tech, etc. need games to fill their home schedules. They pay you to come out, and expect to beat you. Unless you are the U of M, whose football program is so down at the moment you can't beat South Dakota. NDSU will beat them in a couple of weeks when they play, and they'll get paid to do it.

You could try and argue the severity of UND going into Fresno next week Darrell, but it won't do you any good. Fresno State lead #10 Nebraska in Lincoln going into the second half before Nebraska put the game away with a big fourth quarter. The score was 21-20 entering the fourth. I'm sure with all the BCS implications and national exposure that Nebraska just played their second team offense and defense against the Bulldogs. At least thats what we'll hear when UND goes out to Fresno California next week.

That would be a good avenue as well. He has done an outstanding job with Duluth. Other Candidates: ~Bubba Schweigert ~Tim Tibesar

Thank you for your interest in FIGHTING SIOUX ATHLETICS!!!! Thank you for taking the time to come to over and join us! Were things just not that interesting at your team's home forum? I'm not dense enough to not call your team the Bison, or start some stupid argument about how the Bison should be forced by PETA to change their name. You care nothing about the rights of others, etc. with the nickname argument. You are infatuated with hating UND. It didn't matter if the University of North Dakota was the Packers, etc. You would have an issue with it.

Wait a second....you had to spell SIOUX right to get into this forum.....it all makes sense now..... This doesn't upset me, like I said, its amazing how infatuated some NDSU fans are with UND. Some guys get ticked off about it, but the fact that we see so many NDSU posters on SIOUXSPORTS.com is a good thing to me. Even if they come over and talk about our football team's lack of success. They took the time out of there day to care enough about Fighting Sioux Sports.
