In a word...no.

I'm in Missuola right now...other than Griz FB there is nothing to get excited about sports wise for hundreds of miles. They live and breath it here. Way more so than even SU FB in Fargo.

FBS? Just to clear the air...are you serious or dreaming aloud?

Last UND home game packed in around 2K...just saying. Next Saturday might get 11K if lucky.

Oregon -52 w over/under at 54 1/2. The play was the points and the over. Oregon can name their score.

This...^^^.

Running the ball and stopping the run will create success in the game of FB...at any level.

As I mentioned before...the guy at #4 IMO should easily be in the discussion. If you have a hundred+ goals and assist...you are doing something right.

4th and 1 at SJSU 43 early in the game and Bubba goes for it. I like that........... Muss would have tucked them between his legs. Bubba will make strides this year with this program but he isn't a magician.

Careful...most of this post is in violation of the "Duckies and Bunnies" section of the terms and rules on the site.

Violation... for what? Not towing your company line as it relates to FB as you see it? This coming from a "moderator"... swing your big stick and put MM in his place. Well played.

To bed early and up early to catch a flight... yikes! Wasn't expecting miracles but didn't even cover a nearly 4 TD spread. Nonetheless will be excited to make first fall trip north next Saturday for the home opener.

In a word...no.

Call my bookie...Vinnie. 1-bre-akn-legs

No...common sense say this FB team, under Muss, was absolutely horrible last year. A new coach won't wave a magic wand and change them into a BS contender immediately. And how many times has UND upset a FBS team to date? But I guess being a 3+ TD underdog on the road with everything else factored in screams..."So you are saying there's a chance..." You might as well double down and throw some $$$ on the Jacks to beat Mizzu as well then.

38-14 SJSU

That was really fun to watch...both defenses were absolutely pourous for most of that game.

I'm heading to Missoula Friday to hang out with a good buddy who lives there. I'll bring that game up and his response, as it always is, will be that squad was the worst Griz team in the last 15+ years!

The 2 woodshed beatings by the Montana schools last year really turned away a number of those "non-hardcore" fans.

Kind of like why UND didn't win a NC in hockey this year...they didn't have To ny Hrkac. (Just taking a little poke at Goon from a different thread)

Because Shanley put out 11 guys on defense that were better!

This prediction might not be far off. The spread is SJSU -24 1/2. I think...desperately hope...UND will be better on D but other than Gill who is going to catch it at the WR spot? The biggest question mark is if UND can run the ball at all in this game. If not...SJSU covers...easily. IMO too much inexperience and too many changes on both sides of the ball to even suggest UND has a chance to win this one though.

In hindsight, Faison and Bubba should have paid for an NAIA cupcake to fill next year's schedule to appease those UND supporters who want another snooze-fest home game and sure fire "W"...........................oh wait, bad example.

Really? "Business deals"? If this is strictly a money issue UND comes out pretty good considering it's an hour bus trip south. For all you "Fire Faison" and "UND got bent over" crowd...explain to me what cards is/was UND holding? What leverage did/do they have in this whole process? "Respect"? "Weber State"? Another question...when that Saturday next September rolls around who has the most to gain when the clock reads 0:00? I live in Fargo. UND's FB program is seen as a complete joke by SU supports but now there is nothing but talk about "what happens if we lose" next September by those same people. Personally I am tired of the "ugly redheaded step child" treatment UND's FB program has got and is getting in this state. Good for Bubba for taking a risk to change that. You, Matt and Irish can all keep staring at your full size posters of Muss tacked to your bedroom ceiling. Carry on............

Correct...But Bubba decided enough is enough and it's time to move forward. Good for him. That move alone shows more stones than was ever shown by his predecessor IMO.
