More than 15,000 fans going to Vegas have to assume a couple thousand of those are football fans - add in that it is a team no one has heard of and even $5 tickets are going to leave lots of seats empty. The cat walk is open and based on what a huge home field advantage they bring to the game it should be rockin.

Hockey is king, they have their living quarters and they have their own chef. They bring a lot of notoriety (and money) to UND so it is what it is.

A couple of years ago someone in the know posted lots of information why UND was not in the situation to move up along with su. There was a lot going on at UND at the time and it wasn't just because UND was digging its feet in the sand. It made a lot of sense so it is tiresome to revisit the myth that the only reason UND didn't move up was because they were mocking su.

I organized one last year in Nashville. That bar was very happy, a quiet Saturday afternoon turned into a crowded busy one.

UNI and Youngstown are winning, those wins will look just fine on our resume. Take care of business first.

Unless another team is 8-3 and has a high SOS 7-4 with top 5 SOS should be in. But they can justify anything in the backroom.

If you looked at the schedule prior to the season we are on track to make the playoffs - just gotta take care of business.

Surprise - now there are some FCS tweeters who are saying the MVFC might only get 3 teams in this because after the SUs and SIL it "really drops off". UND needs to take care of business first and finish at least 7-4, with our SOS and losses to only top 10 teams and FBS team (hey they are still FBS) not sure how anyone with credibility could say UND does not make it. But we are well aware of what can happen behind the closed doors of the selection committee.

Thinking there will be a good group of rabbit fans.in attendance.

We need an instant replay of this - ground game, sacks, special teams making plays - it could happen!

I would also like it if the marching band and the canned music operator understand that when UND has the ball it is a home field advantage to not have excess noise when we are in our huddle.

Look back to their last visit here - that worked. Our QB is more seasoned, our running game is solid, special teams comes up with something big.

We don't have a student body that matches up with su.

Very little knowledge available for pre-season polls, just opinions based on history.

1. Really perplexed about how poor our pass defense is - but it goes back to depth losses in the off season I suspect. 2. While short timers don't remember, it wasn't that long ago that a swing pass or short pass was not automatic like it is now. 3. In the past 10 years there have only been a handful of times where I thought UND had the better QB on the field, that has changed. 4. As the football saying goes - Offense, Defense, Special Teams - if you win in two out of three of those you probably win the game. This year that has proven to be true. 5. Prior t the season I saw a clear path to 7-4 and the playoffs and we are on track.

Well I guess I shouldn't believe everything that is shared on the tailgating lot. It is a nice facility.

Had the time, nice time of year for the drive, never been to Youngstown, tailgating is usually fun (and it was), enjoy UND football. The drive home made it seem a bit extravagant, but "Fan" is short for Fanatic!

Just got home from the 1,904 mile road trip. Other than it being a very long drive it was a great weekend. The Youngstown State tailgaters were very welcoming. It is an Italian community so enjoyed a huge gourmet Italian buffet, complete with a lounge lizzard singing Frank Sinatra songs (quite well) in the tailgate lot. Fun to be in the largest FCS stadium in the country. Blocked punt and the screen pass TD were at our end. Lots of player's parents there enjoying the day.

We are 3-2 and ranked, I challenge you to post something positive.

If I gotta choose I'll take the team that doesn't have 49 transfer players.

Eastern Washington looking at least 5 losses, MIssouri State looking at least 5 losses, last year UNI got in with 6-6 - doesn't happen often and if we would have finished 6-6 last year we would have been on the outside looking in. Leave no doubt.

And that if they would have scored on their first drive of second half it would have negated the dominating offensive performance the team put on ;)>

Maag is having the season he deserves, came back for his fifth season (didn't have to), had a tough injury last year. Nice to see his number being called.

Tailgating is usually packed for homecoming. The airplane usually makes an appearance. It is what we make it.

Noticed on the Southern Illinois TV broadcast that their PA announcer was very active leading the crowd all the time. Begging for noise mostly.
