Miss a few days being out in the Badlands along the Little Missouri hunting with little smart phone coverage and come back to read and get caught up on this thread...wow!

No argument here...their D is marginal at best. Can't stop the run or create TOs and under McCarthy they have to be in the bottom 3rd of the league in getting off the field on 3rd down. Rodgers does give them more room for error though as he does the rest of the offense. But remember GB put up similar yardage #s yesterday...with Flynn. ARog plays yesterday and that is a 17+ point GB win as Ponder would have had to throw it more. Just difficult to watch this season unfold as the schedule was set up for GB to make a big run starting with that Bear's game.

At least 2 scores...cause the MSU Bears, who you said will beat UND by 3 TDs NEXT year, beat the Jacks by 14 this year and UND only lost to the Jacks by 7 this year and the Vikes and Packers tied yesterday. I get it now...

I was out west in the Badlands hunting this weekend so I didn't see either game but 90+ SOG and 4 goals in 2 games and this is a week after Maine hung a TD and extra point on BU? Hot goalie(s) no doubt... And just watched the OD "slash"...

A healthy Rodgers over the last 4 games and GB is 8-3 at worst.

This....^^^^^^!

Huff and Nash are as talented a 1-2 combo that UND has had in a long long time.

I would like to think even as banged up as this squad is they could get one win on the road vs. this BU team. Paging AZSIOUX...get the game thread rolling!

Meant Woodside...was in a hurry.

It comes down to a one and done scenario due to the autobid...Denver will get better as will SDSU. I'll take the field in the Summit tournament. Saul isn't the greatest BB mind out there and there is no Woodson.

Back on track and topic...expectations: Much better than this past season. Now don't you SU's trolls have to go sheer sheep???

Not sure they didn't play each other but based on common opponent SDSU possibly...and this year has nothing to do with next year's 2 teams and UND losing by 21. Just saying I don't think that will happen next year.

Danny boy said they win by 3 TDs...they won't.

Agree it is weak but still don't think they win the league tournament.

Agree but they aren't and they won't...

I have 2 brothers, a cousin and 2 uncles that live in Springield and follow Mo. St athletics...all would disagree with this statement!

My moniker isn't CMSioux so no... I would have no problem having a first year coach dealing with this train wreck left by Muss getting a minimum of 5 wins, playing games that are competitive and having a disciplined team on the field.

Having Johnny Football gets you noticed...let's not get confused here.

I know some Griz fans in the Missoula area that wouldn't argue with you.

Especially if you like smoking weed and having California transplants as neighbors.

For the 2 previous posts...+1 and +1. Well played gentleman...

If all of this happens...great!! Anything more is gravey...

In the short term...yes. But winning is still paramount to increase ticket sales.

Here is my take on Bollinger...is he HC material on a FCS level as of this minute...meh? Will he be in 2 years...no doubt. Do I think at this point in time he can do a better job with this program than Muss did over 6 years...absolutely. I think his upside is huge and all thing considered and what has transpired over the last 6 years I think he could definately assemble a staff to turn this program around. Just apples to apples he alone would be a huge upgrade over Muss.

What's the deal with OD? Rodwell is out for just poor/dumb play from last Saturday. Would think they would Mattson up to wing...good hands and offensively skilled.
