So you'll be on board for UND making the playoffs if we go 7-4 or 6-5 because we have the toughest schedule in FCS and all of the losses will be quality losses? Oh and after a quality loss UND should be moving up in the rankings.

Make it epic! Bloody Ceasar on site by 10 am.

Wouldn't it be nice if another rookie quarterback had the same kind of game on September 7th. (But seriously one player does not win or lose a game and SDSU's quarterback is gonna win more than he loses). Damn that would have been a nice win for the MVFC.

Lot tougher schedule this year - however we have a talented team and all we need to do is play to level of our players, which we did not do in the last four games last year. Expecting 7-4 and playoffs (also expecting to have to break out the long johns for tailgating at the last two home games)

I agree that it would be nice to get more interest from people at the air base but handing out tickets rarely results in those tickets being used - people take them because they don't want to be rude by saying no thanks.

Love the students and want them to attend - just hope the message got out that leaving huge trash piles behind in the parking lot after tailgating is a poor reflection on them.

I would say that the percentage of students interested in any UND sport is single digit (14,600 students).

I loved how we destroyed Montana last year.

Really have to wonder why these passes can't be printed out much earlier in the year.

Check the history of the Big Sky in the time UND has been a member there is annually one team that falls after a great season - unfortunately one of those years it was UND. If the tradition continues then one of the teams that are predicted to be top three won't be there at the end of the year.

You forgot to thank The Flagship University of North Dakota for stepping up and making this game happen at a time a few years ago when SU administration was still sitting in the corner with their hands folded vowing that the game would never happen on their watch. Still wonder what drives SU fans to take the time to come here when they have so much to talk about on their own board. Oh I forgot it's that you add such great outside opinions to the conversation.

It was a joke - how many times have we faced a back-up quarterback, sometimes even third string and seen them have a an all conference player type game - it happens almost annually.

Not to wish anything bad on Kett but maybe it's our turn to have a back-up quarterback turn into an all conference performer.

Shakey's Pizza closing a few years ago might also have something to do with the weight loss.

SCSU is struggling mightily with enrollment and thus funding, this will have a domino affect on the quality of education at the school but at least the women's hockey team will have their own sauna. More likely than an investment in women's athletics there will be cuts on men's programs to reach the equity

Sorry my intent was not to suggest that UND has no chance - I have been around for more than 30 of these battles and the favored teams didn't always win - one bounce of the ball, one player making a key play is all it takes sometimes.

The irony is that Bubba insisted on scheduling SU on the road (instead of a cupcake) for the good of the state and that game could likely cost the team the playoffs and his job. Fortunately there are at least 7 wins in this schedule.

Code Red Jan Brady Mode.

Regarding the Jan Brady reference, here is what it means: despite SU having among the best football programs in the country some SU fans find the need to monitor UND's fan site and make sure that nothing said by their fans goes unchallenged. They are oblivious to the fact that by nature a school's fan site is going to have comments that are optimistic, and in some cases unsubstantiated. That we as fans are allowed to be positive about our team, and that a fan site exists to provide fans of that school with a place to enjoy discussion and share thoughts. These "Jan Bradys" feel the need to challenge nearly every comment and continual try to downgrade UND because they subconsciously have an inferiority complex (oh and they hate it when that truth is pointed out - which they are proving just by being here constantly). It also kills them that UND is and always will be the Flagship University of the state. History has shown that Sioux Sports has an abundance of SU fans who hover and/or comment on our fan site - in their mind to just "add to the discussion". But it is seldom a discussion and almost always the need to question our natural optimism or create topic drift or UND bash. So when we see someone new join the discussion and it is quite obvious that another SU fan feels the need to "state facts" excuse us for rolling our eyes and not rolling out the welcome mat (by the way it's been shared here that Bison-Swille doesn't allow non-fans to join and "share facts" that question "the herd". I can't verify that because I never go there I have no interest in SU sports and do not feel the need to waste time on something that does not interest me. Hope that clears things up.

Just another Jan Brady come to visit.

Geez I hope they change/improve whatever the last committee used to research and hire Kennedy.

Every comment has a motive behind it

I have a feeling that Beaumont's comments are going to show up just as much on Bison-swille as here . Love the passion we will be cheering double loud for your son.

I think OL recruits are relating to the enthusiasm and passion of our new offensive line coach.

What you are missing is that twice there are three weeks between home games, that just creates a gap for keeping the casual fans interest.
