SFI just tweeted they expect both Oliveira and Smith to play tomorrow. Not sure how much, but both are expected to play.

Agreed. After the way our D played against WYO, we should not allow more than a field goal. Maybe two. 38-6 SIOUX!

Yeah, that was me. I definitely think, there will be a heavy load of excuses, IF we pull of the upset, but there will definitely be a crowd that will give credit where credit is due. Not all of there fans are bad. As much as I am looking forward to UND/Drake this weekend (good opportunity for us to make a statement and cleanup our game a bit), I am interested to see how the Bison bounce back against Weber St. So glad football is back and can't wait for the 19th!

Has Fabbro set a timeframe for his decision?

Between what we have heard about these players preseason, their showing in the first game, and the way Bubba coaches this team, there are a ton of possibilities for this team this year. Very exciting!

I have to think that Bubba won't let these guys get too high on the win. They need to use this week to clean up mistakes, and prepare for the more challenging team they face. I don't mean look past Drake, I mean use it as an opportunity to continue and improve on efficiency and executions. Looking forward to actually watching the game this weekend, and I hope it isn't even close. Yes, a win is a win, regardless of the margin; but good teams should have a nail-biter against teams like Drake, so lets be a good team.

Pretty impressive that one guy named Will can keep up with a whole team.

At one point deion sanders played CB for us.

Agreed, no reason this game should even be close, but we have to be ready to play. Good opportunity to work on some things and cleanup some mistakes. Should be fun.

I know, he takes it a little too far. I'm all far supporting your team and even giving other teams a hard time in good fun, but he takes it to the next level. Whatever.

have to agree with Kingranch. We should enjoy our win, but we have more to prove beyond beating WYOMING before we put ourselves in the status of the recent Bison teams. Drake should be a game to clean up mistakes and prep for NDSU. Pull off a win there and we can start talking about a power shift, but not until then. Super pumed about our win, and it is awesome for bubba and the boys, bit let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Doesn't really matter. Want to get ranked, win your next two. I judge this over way more than our win, but the way we won. Glad to see our D lived up to the hype today.

Quite the meltdown on Wyonation, and I guess it's understandable. Frustrating to.lose to a lower level team, especially one without recent success. The are some pleasant bison fans on the WYO forum pointing out how terrible we are, and the the is rock bottom for Wyoming. Also that the loss must be because of Wyoming and not Bohl. Kind of funny there. Reality is that Bubba had are guys ready to play. D lived up to the hype. RB was a pleasant surprise, and Studsrud played well and limited mistakes. This team will continue to improve, and while this win does not make us a playoff team or even narrow the spread against the Bison, it is another step in the right direction. Way to go bubba and way to go team. Dominate Drake and cleanup some mistakes before the Bison.

haha I tought the same thing. More so when he had the mustache though.

Finally, it is gameday! Hope to see some nice surprises from our offense and a solid game to start the season. Get the win the build off of. Sioux pull the upset 21-19

Exactly, really disappointing to seem them lose that game in that fashion. Play well enough to win the game, then make just enough mistakes to ensure you lose it. Fumbling inside the 20 was bad enough, but fumbling as you are about to cross the goal line took away enough point to win the game. Doesn't mean they would have won if they score there; that could have changed how the rest of the game was played, but it would have been a huge momentum shift. Should be interesting to see how they do the rest of the season. As a MN I have no problem pulling for the Goofs (as long as it isn't hockey, and they aren't playing UND in an other sport). Especially in Football though; Jerry Kill is a pretty likable guy.

http://www.mwcconnection.com/2015/9/4/9254965/north-dakota-vs-wyoming-familiarity-toughness-makes-for-interesting This just showed up on Siouxsports twitter feed. Gotta love that they list us as the North Dakota SIOUX

exactly, makes me a little nervous throwing an unproven QB out there, but we have improved the WR spot, so we'll see how that helps. Plus Studsrud has actually had time to practice with the starters. I think we have good enough athletes at RB, that we should be able to make some noise there, IF the O Line plays like they did at the end of last year.

What are some realistic numbers for Studsrud. I don't see him putting up huge passing number, but he will need to be efficient and limit mistakes. Really hoping he has had significant improvement and gain confidence over last season. I understand he was really thrown into the mix last year without being ready, but hopefully we don't see those types of numbers at any point this season. Really excited for the season to start, and hope to see some surprises from this group; both as a team, and with individual performances.

Not understanding all the quotes ... Are there comments to go with those?

I don't live in the region anymore, and don't see all of this news. Not sure what you are referring to, but it doesn't sound pretty. Frankly at that point I don't really care about University affiliation; actions like that speak loudly about the individual not the school. I don't recall any sort of character test when I applied for school, they go purely off of academics. Students all over the country would be rejected from colleges if character/personality was in the equation. Ted Kaczynski was accepted to Harvard, then Michigan, and taught at CAL. Wouldn't change my opinion of those schools based on him. Everyone wants their alma mater to be painted in the best light, but unfortunately every school has those who tarnish the name.

Hey, lets not go there. Lets not associate the dumb action of someone with an entire campus of students. We all know there are moron students at every school. We'll see what comes out of this, but I don't think anyone condones physical assault, certainly because of sexual orientation. Personally I think drunk kids who get in fights for no reason are morons, but if you are really going to target someone because of their sexual orientation then you deserve whatever comes your way, I don't care where you go to school. Now if we're going to insult school based on sports teams that one thing, lets leave the rest of the crap elsewhere.

Sort of ... they are legal .... just not if you play for UND ..... not if you play against NDSU ...... not if you are tackling Carson Wentz ....... and not if he has a high ankle sprain.

I think it has been said enough on here that if Wentz is THAT injured, he has no business on the field. If he does, it is at his own risk. The game is also played at a fast pace, and I don't think any player is going to go out there focusing solely on Wentz ankle. You have taken one post from the message board and completely derailed it into the entire UND fanbase being the bad guys, as though we have any control over what coaches do or do not do. And enough with the Bison fans are angels and would never say anything wrong stuff. There are plenty of obnoxious fans in every fanbase, even UND, and even the Ag School.

This was exactly the point I was trying to make to him. Pretty much in one ear and out the other. He is ranting over on Bisonville about how he hopes Wentz doesn't play against UND, cuz apparently one posters comments are indicative of not only the entire fanbase, but also the game plan of the coaches. Ridiculous.
