Don't argue Jim on the numbers game, you'll just embarrass yourself; and don't overlook the point he was trying to make. Putting too much stock in computer stats this early in the year doesn't carry a great deal of weight.

It would definitely be nice to have Kenny Golladay and Jameer Jackson in this lineup this year.

Agreed, and their fanbase should be excited about it. They are seeing all this hype about a game, an old rivalry, another fun day to go tailgate and watch football. On top of that, they believe they would absolutely blow away the good guys. Can't blame them. If I was in their spot, I'd feel the same way. Sweet we are going to absolutely dominate the other Dakota school, this should be fun. Now anything can happen, but what I really would like to see is people rebuild the rivalry.

Probably not, a UND win would be like putting gas on a fire.

Keyword is few. Sure there are people that don't want this game, but there are plenty who do. Doesn't really matter, its going to happen regardless.

This was posted over on Bisonville, you gotta love a sense of humor. This actually was pretty funny. Gave me a good laugh anyway. Originally Posted by Bison Loaf It IS a trap. They've been planning this week all along, deep down in the bunker, since 2003 (or earlier). Roger Thomas is the brilliant mastermind behind it. The planning that has went into it is just amazing! Here is a stolen copy of Roger's secret specific instructions: 1. Don't play the Bison............ until Bubba comes back. 2. Fight with the NCAA and get them to ban our nickname, so that NDSU doesn't know which nickname to do the "suck chant" to. 3. Let them win 4 straight national titles to become overconfident. 4. Make our own football team look as bad as they can in the years leading up to "The Game". (Note: a guy by the name of Mussman can help with that.) 5. Send down a poster to engage in "serious" and "respectful" banter the week before the game. (Don't worry, they'll fall for it.) 6. Go into the Fargo Dome and kick some Bison ass. 7. Hello Respect! Hello GameDay! It is so simple! I can't believe I didn't see it before now!

True, Bridge water looks rough out there, but their O line looks terrbile. Its like watching UND's O Line against Drake all over again.

Another year of hypin up the Vikes, another year a disgusting play on the field.

Wear your Sioux Suck shirt proudly. Won't bother me.

Vraa and Urzendowski are both tough though, always have to account for them.

Likelihood Iwarri Smith plays this weekend?

Agreed, now they are saying that the only thing they would make people turn inside out are things that are inappropriate or offensive to tribes. Siouxper Drunk or Sioux Suck type shirts. Still not sure if they can actually enforce that, but whatever. 2 types of view over there. Obnoxious fans that just ridicule everything said, sensible fans that think their school should just stay out of the nickname issue.

I guess I understand them not wanting to be criticized for not doing enough to oppose the use of sioux names in their building, but trying to alter what people where, will only create more controversy on it all. Bisonville is split on vulgarity of the use of the Sioux name. So want it, most done. Reality is, it will happen. Same as our vulgar chants with the Gophers in hockey. I'd be ok getting rid of all of that. Want to chant, get more creative.

The word over on Bisonville is apparently NDSU is going to try to ban, any and all Sioux apparel from entering the stadium. Forcing people to turn anything with the Sioux name and logo inside out. Not sure this is something they can enforce or not, but I'm sure it will be controversial, and I'm sure it will not work.

Thanks for bringing it up, I think we should stay UND! I kid, I kid! ........ NO NICKNAME TALK ........ (BUT SERIOUSLY, GO SIOUX!)

Lack a running had to be based on terrible O line play. What happened? Do that next week and we will get hosed.

Expected way more. Next week will be really rough of we can't sustain a drive and let our D rest.

Losing my confidence for next week. Win is a win, but this got ugly.

5 FUMBLES! seriously?

Nice catch by cerentino

Way to many mistakes in the game. Clean that up or we will get smoked next weekend.

I don't think anyone is saying overlook them. Yes, they are a veteran squad, but this is a non-scholarship team. If UND wants to compete with NDSU, MT, E.Wash ... they should be beating teams like Drake by a good Margin. UND beat Drake 16-0 at a time when UND was not as good as they are now. UND smoked Valporaiso a few years ago. No game is a freebie, which is why upsets happen, but this is a team we should beat soundly. A close game would make me much more nervous for the following weekend.

Bahahaha. He was painful to listen to last weekend. Referred to Deion Harris and Deion Sanders.

Disappointed, but not completely shocked. I would still think our program has taken a step in the right direction, with the way we handled Wyoming. Regardless of who wins, UND fans have much less that we can trash talk about. NDSU fans can talk about our program being garbage, based on the previous several years. While there is no denying the success that NDSU has had recently. I'm hoping for a close, competitive, and entertaining game. Really hoping our defense can keep doing what they are doing. If something goes wrong, and we get smoked then so be it. As a fan, we can only hope the team learns from it, and moves on to the next week. Losing any game is disappointing, getting completely blown out would be even tougher. That being said, as much as I want us to win the rematch, there is still a long season ahead and a lot of tough Big Sky teams we need to beat. Eyes would still be set on playoffs. I going to assume our fan base's reaction to a win or loss, would be similar to the NDSU fan base. There will be some people who can take it for what it is, and there will be some sore losers.
