UNDColorado

My mistake, I was typing fast and meant to say he was on the two deep.

Game notes released: https://www.nmnathletics.com//pdf9/2779619.pdf?ATCLID=209634468&SPSID=58640&SPID=6399&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=13500 I noticed Cheatom is not on the two deep but at end. Isn't he a nose?

Has the depth chart been released for the game yet?

Last SFI tweet indicated they haven't seen it either and said to expect a couple "dings." Hopefully no serious injuries...

Will Ratelle really had a great game. I was also impressed with the athletic ability of Taj Rich. Tillman and 94 look like great additions. Molberg looked much improved from last year. I was happy to see much improved tackling; last year was terrible in this regard. Also, great to see freshman kicker nailing a 42 yard FG. We will get better!

I got nervous during that punt...

Game time! Go Sioux!

I predict the next 4.5 hours will seem like an eternity.

ESPN 3 is only an internet feed, not a channel. www.espn3.com Hopefully you find it on the FTA though!

Eaxctly...we have a game against SJSU tonight. My only prediction is that SJSU does not beat the spread (25).

They will also be missing their projected starter at running back. I believe an un-tested sophomore is starting. We are essentially in the same boat here. Really looking forward to seeing us compete!

Thanks for the link. I think you are right, they have a lot of new guys too so hopefully it will be a competitive game.

Any idea who the other might be?

Pat Hill, the Fresno coach at the time when we played them will be the color commentator for the game Thursday. I am interested to hear his thoughts on UND after the close call they had against us.

He could have been over his bag limit too. That would have made things worse.

This was in regard to Ivery. Haven't seen enough of Young yet, although I do believe he is a hard worker and good team guy so hopefully he gets a shot in the rotation.

Yes, he made some clutch plays in 2011. We would have lost to Sioux Falls had he not made an outstanding catch for a first down.

I had a feeling Harding would get released but I am somewhat surprised Dressler was. Do they look to the CFL now or is it too late in the season up there?

I agree 100%. Please don't take offense geaux_sioux but I think you are out of your element on this one.

Yeah so right now UND has 13 active NHL players....the comparison of FCS to D1 hockey is a bunch of bull.

We don't need ndsu and they don't need us. I was never a fan of this 2 game series but it is out of our control so I was trying to be optimistic. You are slow because how did you come to the conclusion that UND needs ndsu from of my scenario? You are reading between non-existent lines.

Allow me to break down what you are saying: You hate UND. You hate UND so much that you would rather not start out the entire college football season via a nationally televised game because it only benefits UND. Got it. Your thought process is slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress...I think you know the term this statement defines.

Congratulations, you have won the "Tool of the day" award.

The games are happening whether we like it or not and this is out of our control....even for the good ol boys. Here is thought on the optimistic side: Lets assume the ESPN showcase this saturday gets good enough ratings for ESPN to want to do this again. How cool would it be to move this game up to this weekend next year and play it in front of a national crowd? From a marketing standpoint they could build off of the tension and hiatus of the series since 2003. The story is quite compelling.
