    Fighting Sioux vs UNI Panthers Poll

    in Football

    Posted

    I see your point. The defensive side a most valued asset. My main argument to previous posters is that on of the main reasons why Division2's usually dont beat division 1-aa is overall depth and team speed. Same goes for 1aa vs 1a schools. When you play an upper division, the commentators constantly are saying how much faster the opposing team is. The game is just played at a faster pace. As in awesome football player, i dont even know why I put that in there, it was unrelated and disregard. But yes, I am using speed as in the general term. As for Barry Sanders, he wasnt the fastest football player in the world, but he definatly had undeniable quickness. Jerome Bettis....he is just huge. Getting that amount of weight that fast is hard to stop. For his size, yes he was fast. But for the most part I am using the word speed in general terms.

    Again, you really don't make much sense. You can't say that comparing D2 to I-AA and I-AA to I-A is even close. I mean, c'mon man, your not USC. Lets compare: A top 10 I-A team versus a top 10 I-AA team. This is likely to be a slaughtering, Montana got whooped up on by Iowa last week 41-7. If UNI played a USC or a Texas, easily a 40 point differential. Now lets compare a top 10 D2 versus a top 10 I-AA. This is copied from d2football.com "Bloomsburg and Tarleton State both lost their games last week, but they certainly gained the respect of the college football world. BU led the 8th-ranked team in I-AA, James Madison, 3-0 midway through the fourth quarter before finally succumbing, 14-3. Even more remarkable is that the Huskies nearly pulled off the upset despite all-everything running back Jamar Brittingham being out of the lineup with an injury.

    Tarleton State also pushed defending I-AA semifinalist Texas State to the limit, going toe to toe with the Bobcats for four quarters before losing 27-23." ENOUGH SAID!!! I think the gap between D2 and I-AA is minimal, at best, if you ask me. What do you think Flapp?? I mean, Bloomsburg(#11 ranked D2 team) and Tarleton State(NOT EVEN RANKED IN TOP 25 IN D2!!) are usually top 25 D2 teams, but I don't think they have gone further than the 2nd round of the playoffs in recent years. Weird, huh? NDSU(D2 at the time) beat Montana(D-IAA and I believe they were the defending I-AA national champs at the the time) in 2003 and I don't think NDSU even made the D2 playoffs that year!! UND did. I just don't see this huge difference in game speed and so forth that you are talking about. I think that most UND fans would agee that UND will be and could easily be a top 25 D-IAA team. You keep making your comparisons, but really all you are doing is talking out of your a** and have nothing to back it up with. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Yea, but if only a couple players on a team are really fast, so what? But if the WHOLE team is faster than yours, then you are pretty much screwed. Speed=Power, Power=Explosiveness. Explosiveness is a damn good football player. Speed kills, dont forget that

    So, what r u saying? UNI is faster at every position compared to UND? I didn't realize UND was playing the frickin Chicago Bears. Speed=Power, Power=Explosiveness......blahblah blah.....what a buch of crap. Where do smarts come into play? "Speed kills, don't forget that" :silly: , I'm sure you probably had that printed on the back of your high school football practice tees. I am pretty sure there are plenty of college and professional athletes that are the best at their positions, but aren't the fastest. U have to be a moron to think that being fast is a justification to being a good football player, or team for that matter. You're an idiot. ???

    For the sake of my sanity, let us never mention that game ever again.

    I think UNI will prove to be simply too fast. UNI by about 30.

    Way too fast, huh. If UND loses a game it is not because another team is "simply too fast." We have played many teams in the past 5 years that people thought had the advantage because of their speed. ie: NDSU (they always had the fastest secondary in the country. :silly: and if I remember right, Lamar Gordon had so much speed that he never scored a touchdown against UND. UNC, and even UNA in 2003 was so fast that they got whooped by UND in the playoffs. Being too fast is not proof positive that UND will lose by 30. I played in the system, I guarantee that the coaching staff and the players are going down to UNI to WIN, not lose by 30 and say that it is a moral victory because the other team was faster and a I-AA team. I for one will not count out UND until the end. Lennon will have the boys ready!! GOOOOOOOOOO

    SIOOOOOOOOOOOUXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!

    Chris Kuper story

    in Football

    Posted

    I went to the Broncos vs Cardinals pre-season game last week. I got to see both Kuper and Mustard play. Both of them started and played most of the game as the starters for the broncos took the game off. I thought they both played very well. Granted when you watch one or two guys the whole game, it is easy to see they may have made a few mistakes, but overall I thought Kupe did an excellent job with his pass protection. His run blocking was also good, the only mistake I really saw out of Kupe was a missed block on a screen pass. But then again, he played the entire game and that was the ONLY play I noticed that he missed. Mustard also blocked well but didn't get any passes thrown to him. It was great to see old college teammates playing in the NFL. I got a chance to talk to them after the game. I wish them both the best of luck, they are both great athletes and great guys.

    The Hurricane Stratton would beat little tiny none muscular stratton into a billion pieces! I remember reporting at games when adam played. I even coined his nick name, "The Fisher Flash!". I made that up because he was fast in high school but then he came to UND and he got fat and slow. Then he got a tattoo to make him look like some sort of badass, but that did not work either. So he sat and slept on someones couch for a year and then he decided to move to Florida. Were he became known to the people in those parts as, "The Florida Fatty!". Because all he does is sit around and play shuffle board with old retired people and then waits for the wheel of fortune to come on at 6. This is Pat Sweeny signing off.

    PatSweeny--Why are you so jealous?? It takes a big man to talk trash about someone on a message board. Congratulations for being a loser!!! hahaha

    I don't even understand how playing the rest of your season can even be fun when you know that the rest of your games have no implications, and your team doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of making the play-offs. Even if you win out, who cares?? I'd expect this game won't even be close.
