I think the NCAA tries to avoid first round match ups of teams that played in the regular season. I predict we play one of the MVFC teams first round but would love to see a matchup with an east coast team we have not played before.

Great start

no

that's great but I comparing us and Portland st.

Corrector me if I'm wrong but if EWU beats Portland St we will be ahead of them in the conference standings as we have the head to head. Likely doesn't mean anything to the committee but just makes more of a mess of the big sky

If the stats on BigSkyConf.com are correct, Ratelle is one tackle shy of 100 for the season again this year. Should easily pass that this weekend and should finish closer to 120 for the regular season as I could see him near 20 for the game on Saturday.

Defense has to keep them out of 3rd and short. The last few times we have played when we've got them to third down, it has been 3rd and 2 or 3. I'm hoping this years defense does a better job and can't pick against the team this week. UND- 38 Cal-Poly- 24

The thing I am excited about regarding our o-line is we have two bookend tackles for the next two seasons after this one along with Cox at one position in the middle. That is two more years of not as much uncertainty regarding our OL that has been such a question the last few seasons.

we had two opportunities to do that with different opponents this season.

Bubba on WDAY 970 AM right now with McFeeley

Looking forward to Saturday. Its going to be a fun day to follow scores until our kickoff that evening.

Who is going to be next to come out of the wood work after the announcement?

that guy is awesome. He had about 3 Northern Colorado players ready to jump into the bleachers last weekend. Two of them had to be held back.

after Oliveria got injured when we were up 35 Bubba started to rest some of the offense. Santiago was one of them and sat from near the end of the second quarter on (minus two special teams plays).

it depends how high the ceiling is on their stadium.

I did a quick count of those rankings and 14 teams ranked ahead of UND can only finish with 6 D1 wins. Those are the ones I know without digging too deep. Plus Cal Poly will likely be ranked ahead of us next week. Just win.

if your competitive you want your share of all the carries.

that is true but I don't know if a 5th place team in the conference gets in. Our best bet, assuming we win is Montana and EWU losing. Both are realistic.

I don't see the Big Sky getting 5 in. If all those things above happen, UND likely is the odd team out.

it will be an interesting week. For sure the loser between SUI and NAU is done.

I'm not sure how many but there are teams ahead of UND that lost or are sitting with 6 wins as well. Today's win also won't hurt. Beat Cal Poly next week is all UND can control

Very quick. Good athlete. I wish Feeney was not committed to Missouri.

Heavy dose of Oliveria and Santiago. UND- 27 UNC- 17

did they give any indication on where they are at with fund raising for Phase 2?

tell us more
