If he didn't think he looked dumb before having his picture on the Forum webpage certainly does.

I'm not going to dig through your past posts but I believe you have mentioned YSU and Missiouri St leaving the MVFC multiple times in the last year. They would be back filled with Mankato, Grand Valley or another DII

Minimum of one guaranteed home game with a bye. That game would likely be against a MVFC team or Montana/Poly. I'll take that any day over a little rust. The last few weeks I'm also watching a team that is dealing with injuries every play it seems. Give them an extra weeks rest, as long as we don't have any Seibel incidents with the additional time off. Only concern for me would be conditioning.

Are you offended if they call them North Dakota?

That's not 100% accurate. The thing I hate about the Summit is that all Dakota schools would/could bolt in a second and moving up is likely the goal (regardless how realistic it is). The Big Sky is pretty stable and we are leaving just as we are finding success and gaining tons of momentum in all sports. Naturally with success the "rivalries" would follow.

Said it after the NDSU game, Charleston Southern is not a playoff team.

Thin position already. Not real smart. Be a leader, not a dip !@#$

They haven't gotten any cheaper.

Football is the one that strikes me as odd. Western Illinois dropping football would be ideal for the MVFC as it would allow all schools to play each other. They do not currently. Something could be going on Reading posts on other boards from Bison fans they like to say the MVFC/Summit are bailing out UND. In actuality could it be the other way around and the MVFC is in need of another team and it is mutually beneficial or the MVFC has a need for UND? I can't see the eastern schools suddenly being on board to adding another Dakota school.

21-14 EWU at half. EWU missed a field goal as time ran out before half

Another dirty block by NDSU #87 in their game vs YSU.

There is no way we should be ranked behind Youngstown anyway. Their offense is absolutely brutal.

Way to go boys Great win Big Cal Poly fan tonight.

We have no one at WR with his talents. Tough to just "next man up" that spot. No one on the team is making excuses though and they have won 7 straight.

UNC has ran the ball well this year in most of their games. Portland St. gave up 250 yards rushing to UNC last week. I don't think they will have the same success this week and will have to beat us through the air. Secondary gets another pick six this week. Offensively, please don't run the ball with Bartles. Stick to playaction and what he does well. Santiago finally hits his big run from scrimmage. UND- 38 UNC- 24

Except for recruiting purposes and fan perception. Little things.

Q: Why do Northern Colorado alumni keep their diplomas on their dashboards? A: So they can park in handicap spaces.

Wasn't it all about head to head last year? Now it's gauged on something else?

Zero trust in the Big Sky representative.

Bidding over Thanksgiving weekend is the risk.

But it's still better. A lot can happen in 3 weeks but I only see one MVFC team getting seeded.

Without a lot of things falling our way I just don't see a situation where we play anyone other than SDSU, USD or WIU. Even possibly UNI. And looking at the resumes of the top 8 teams, other than Charleston Southern I don't see anyone we should be ranked over at this time. Need a lot to go our way as most of those teams would have to lose multiple times in the last 3 weeks. Not just once.

I really don't see a big enough shake up happening in the top 10 for us to move into the top eight. I want to own the Big Sky title to ourselves. I don't see a scenario of the Big Sky getting two seeded teams and unless EWU collapses, they will own the seed for the Big Sky to themselves. The loss to Stoney or BG really will come back to bite us (assuming we win out). The biggest shake up that could potentially happen is in the MVFC as I see USD beating either SDSU or NDSU in the final three weeks. I also question Charleston Southern being there. What do you do if they lose to Liberty? They would be 7-3 with one of the wins being DII and wouldn't be a conference champion. Again, the quality loss to NDSU would come into play which is garbage. At the end of the day, we win this week vs. UNC and we are in, no question.

Bartles. Same offense except playaction instead of QB bootleg

In order for USD to get in they need to beat NDSU. NDSU has a difficult game upcoming vs Youngstown as well
