SiouxMeNo, you're killing me. I'm definitely LMAO. I must be tired and a little buzzed. Until tomorrow.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Initially, I was going to ask if it was alliteration but then thought better of it. Stupid me.

Beats me. Never heard of Minot.

Can anyone tell me the significance of "Roll the Raiders"? Is it just somethnig ya'll started saying for the Tech game or is it a standard UND yell, like "Roll the Bison" or "Roll the Gophers"? I've never heared the phrase and I'm curious about it. Thanks.

Rivals posted a free article on RedRaiderSports.com about player matchups for the game tomorrow. Matchups set the stage for Saturday Enjoy guys.

Idaho has one of the top 10 coolest college nicknames: Vandals. It's too bad there is no interest in making their team better. On a side note, the Vandals are a pretty good band too. For those of you traveling to Lubbock, be safe. When the land becomes flat for as far as you can see, you'll know you're getting close.

Hell yeah! Make it a football/hockey two-fur-one! I'd seriously enjoy that. One of my best friends moved to Montana, which I think is around North Dakota somepleace. He's a 'Horn but I bet he'd meet me to watch both games. By the way, I appreciate Sioux27's optimism. Also, a Tech poster started a Thank-a-Sioux project thread at: RaiderPower Football Forum If you are going to the game it should make you feel welcome. If you do run into any rude fans, remember that this will be the freshman class' first ever Texas Tech game so they may be a little extra enthusiastic. There's a fine line between rowdy and rude, and it takes a little experience to know the difference.

This matchup marred by very bad timing for a UND team breaking in so many new players. I fear your defense will be worn out by halftime. Your QB is very promising but your OL will be hard pressed to give him time to throw the ball. Hopefully, things will even out a little when Tech's 2nd and 3rd teamers enter the game. I hope ya'll manage to score a TD or more so I'll say... Tech 66 UND 13 Now would be a good time to strike an agreement to play again in about 5 years to measure your team's progress. Personally, I'd love a home-and-home series.

If you have a subscription to Rivals.com, there's a pretty good interview of Fighting Sioux assistant coach Rod Carey on the Texas Tech site discussing UND's progress transitioning from DII to DI football. Tech Rivals There is also a "picks" page in the subscription area where some Rivals "expert" gives his score predictions for all DI games this week. He predicts a very lopsided score as you can imagine.

It just occured to me to ask. What's the significance of "ROLL THE RAIDERS"?

Sicatoka is probably close on the Tech play. I doubt it will be a bomb. I bet Tech's first play is a screen to Batch. This link is to a Batch highlight clip made after his RS-Fr year. You'll see Batch run this screen play about 12 times. Baron Batch Highlights If you don't want to watch the whole clip, the screen is first run at about 1:40.

Awesome video. The bit about owning the farm instead of working on it was great.

I remember reading and old National Lampoon "article" about how Rick Astley was suing himself for copyright infringement because his second hit song was so similar to his first hit song. Damn funny.

Pretty cool article in today's Wall Street Journal. "...football after dark in West Texas is mythic stuff." LINK: Great Gridiron Getaways
