Ah, now why would you have to go and bring that up.... don't we get enough of that from our FU friends....you're supposed to be one of the good guys.

Looking at the schedule I would also like to see a solid winning season and that is accomplishable even with an SDSU loss. I'm not trying to justify or prepare for a loss or defend medocrity - with the toughest schedule in the country there are going to be bumps along the way. What I think is idiotic is starting up a Fire Mussman thread after the first loss and feeding the thread the entire season. Not seeing how that helps the team or it's future.

I'm sure that is the team's goal also and mine but I'm not going out on a ledge or calling for a coach's head on a public forum if they don't go 11-0.

Thanks for your interest in UND sports - time to check the Fargo Police blotter.

Just wondering what the expectations are for an unranked UND taking on #6 SDSU.

How far apart are Duke and North Carolina, Louisville and Kentucky - there are plenty of quality schools that are within the same area. No ducks and bunnies here but also not going out on the ledge either.

Long snaps were a little shaky last week - special teams will be a factor. The first series will be a reality check for our boys - I think the Jackrabbits are going to hit a little harder than Valpo. It would definitely be a signature win and it is possible - not gonna be easy though and not gonna be the end of the season or playoff chances if we lose. Although I am certain there are some that have their "Fire Mussman" thread ready to post.

Hell of a win - but could someone move this thread to the Community Thread where it actually belongs...next to the Eight Bison Players Charged.

Got it - and headed up to the Forks for some tailgating - doubt I'll need the hat this trip though.What's the damage?

Oh I get it so it's N: Nut swingers D: Drunk and Disorderly S: Shoplifters U: Unethical signature gatherers

Actually their conference once suggested they go by the name FU.

No need to defend this thread but I havn't poked the trolls in awhile. 1. The issue never goes away, just when they think it's safe another guy on the team gets in trouble. 2. It's a community thread - group hug for the wayward souls who don't seem to know right from wrong - fighting in alleys wrong, faking signatures wrong, flashing kids wrong, stealing electronic equipment wrong - it's not that difficult. 3. It's right there in the newspaper - it could just as easily be titled community news. 4. It's just so darn fun (and easy) to poke the trolls - they just can't stay away. 5. We understand your need to come here everyday and make sure you make your point about how much better you think FU is than UND. It probably saves you money on therapy.

Appreciate the sentiment but don't like cluttering the UND football thread with non-UND stuff - Not trashing you, what if we had a Football (Non UND) thread?. Go penguins!

Okay not to get the fans who can't be there jealous but those of us who can be there next Thursday - either: What are you going to eat at your tailgate What is your favorite tailgating menu Looks like we are going to have fresh corn on the cob - with extra for those stragglers that walk by looking hungry.

I'm not being adversarial (to you), but I'd like to know the facts behind the statement "90% of ND kids would rather play football for NDSU than UND". There are many factors that go into choosing a college for a sport - first off few within the state are at the level of FU and UND now, second off it actually comes down to an education for many student athletes with goals higher than being a signature gatherer.

Relax we're just having fun in the "Community" thread poking the trolls.

Come on..(sarcasm coming)... He was innocent, he only pleaded guilty to put this all behind him and get the media off his back. The Fargo police are out to get FU football players When he asked the guy if he'd like to settle it out in the alley - he thought they were going to hug it out. When he walked into the alley he had no idea he was walking into a fight. When he walked away from the police it was because he was dazed from being pummeled in the alley (the fact that the other guy was found unconscious is irrelevent). There is no way they had enough evidence to convict him. This was a trumped up charge. If he would have gone to court he would have been found not guilty but because he is more concerned about preserving the team and his school's reuputation, he took it for the team. He's suffered enough, he didn't get his day in court. It didn't involve drugs (however it did involve violence - guess they let that slip) It could have been worse - at least he didn't expose himself to children.

That's what happens when you have a conference with an unbalanced schedule -was it Cal Poly that had a similar schedule last year, none of the top teams and all fo the bottom dwellers and they rode that to the playoffs. Home field is nice but it's not worth more than a 3 point advantage in most booking situations, you still have to make the plays.

Sounds like the definition of a college town.

They are always biting ....here we go again ...

Wow - a visiting fan from another team and no smack - welcome. Come to the game early and walk through the tailgating area - you're welcome to stop into the Siouxpride.com van site for a beverage. Sorry but gotta say it - we hope you leave the game disappointed and your team takes it out on FU later .

Outside of the top 10 it's hard to take this poll seriously.

Wasn' it Northern Alabama that lost a hosting opportunity and had to go on the road (to UND) and it came down to a game they played and won against a FSC team?

Yah and my neighbor chose to end her marriage by signing the divorce papers but it was her husbands actions that created the situation. We can agree to disagree and also know we will be perpetually living with the revisionist history of the FU faithful - especially the ones that have moved on and don't care about the rivalry anymore

No rush here - enjoy the family and summer.
