This is hostile and abusive

I’ll have to take your word for it on the the two deep accuracy comment, never heard that before.

I really hope that is just coach speak for the media, but Entz has a history, albeit short, of making boneheaded decisions so I wouldn’t put it past him.

I think it’s a personal competitiveness thing, you get respect from your teammates for doing more than is required for the team. Also, sends a message at times to the defense that to bring you down requires extra people and you can show up your competitor a bit. These are hyper competitive alpha males for the most part, so any feeling that you’ve put your competitor down is a win in their mind.

Fair prediction. I think NDSU rises to the occasion and looks a lot different with Miller running the offense this coming week. I’ll go NDSU, 24-17

Define “rolls”, what’s your score prediction?

I know, I really need to watch my trolling on this board.

I mean...if given the choice between no film on a player and film on a player I’m gonna put money on 100% of D Coordinators choosing to see film on someone.

Yeah, he isn’t just a big body, he can play.

Agreed, Watson is good and maybe even will get a look if he puts up some decent numbers. But Golladay is in a different class, obviously. Think he was a pro bowler this year or last correct?

Anyone who follows this board knows which of us is a troll. Take your meds grandpa.

I have to think that will be the case. Miller’s ability to move in the pocket and keep the defense honest with a QB run seems much more in line with NDSU’s past success at the position. Our OC seems comfortable leaning on a designed QB run when in “off schedule” down and distances so I would think Roehl likes Miller much better after seeing his ability this past weekend. As far as NDSUs o line not getting push, I agree, but also Illinois State always gives our o line trouble, they recruit absolute monsters to their d line.

Accurate observations from my perspective

I don’t mind you saying “when”, just found the choice of calling NDSU fans arrogant while assuming a win to be ironic. So it’s fun for you to banter with NDSU fans yet you are giving me !@#$ for being on this board for the same reason. Interesting.

And it’s just those NDSU fans that are arrogant. Maybe we just see what happens on Saturday before we start getting ahead of ourselves here.

I don’t agree. This fall’s incoming freshman class will have been born in 2003. They grew up in a reality that tells them that NDSU is far superior to UND in football. A persons own reality and experience is much stronger in forming an opinion than what happened before they were born.

Forgive my ignorance here, but what are you saying? What are you anticipating happening this coming Saturday that will prove a rivalry regardless of the outcome? Fans are limited so tailgating and fan attendance will be low and the atmosphere will be relatively weak as a result. I anticipate a close game so a blowout win by either team is unlikely, though if one team were to win in a blowout, a UND blowout win is much more likely IMO. Maybe I’m just seeing this coming Saturday much differently than you. The way I see it, if NDSU wins this week, even if it’s a very close win, it’ll only further solidify in the minds of NDSU fans how big of a gulf exists between the two programs(I’m not saying I agree with that). NDSU fans will say this is the worst team NDSU had had in a decade and the best team UND has had in 10-15 years and NDSU still won the game.

How will it be humbling if NDSU wins? Your logic isn’t following.

Lie? That’s a bit strong, call it a difference of opinion. The crews I run in have a ton of respect for UND. Also, if you’re feeling so confident that ndsu will learn “a humbling lesson” next Saturday, why are you hedging by saying “we may not win”?

In fairness to young people who believe the above, 75% of the students currently at NDSU or UND weren’t alive the last time UND gave NDSU a meaningful game.(most of that time was because they weren’t playing) But it was pretty logical to develop that opinion when one team is winning national championship and beating FBS schools while the other isn’t making the playoffs. I’m not trying to be disparaging, just pointing out why fans are somewhat justified in their opinion if they don’t understand the history between the two programs.

I’m not sure this is true. Every conversation this board for the last 18 months has talked about Schuster as the clear cut starter and as the future of the program. Which I believe to be justified, he’s a good player with the potential to be great.

Great question. He’s a statue in the pocket which doesn’t fit the previous prototype for NDSU’s success and isn’t particularly accurate. Maybe he looks a ton better in practice than the game.

Sounds like you think bisonville is representative of “SU fans”. Nobody who knows football ever thought that was true.

My intention isn’t to downplay any of UNDs success, if that is how it’s coming across. Every team is a mixture of experienced and inexperienced players. UND is adapting well and making the best of the talent they have so far, good on them, that’s what teams who are successful have to do.

You guys are funny. Did you guys feel better about Schuster or Ketteringham. Every one of you knows full well you came into this season feeling very good about the QB position. Let’s move on.
