ysu is way underrated in the press poll. 15th in ags, 22nd coaches.

the ferris state guy is definitely one to watch. I would certainly enjoy the irony of running out of the veer.

if you want to have good employees you treat your employees well. It would have cost UND nothing. Maybe a sign.

I don't think mussman is particularly good at evaluating talent. Remember that really good backup QB last year that someone sat on the bench the prior two years of mediocre at best? what happened to the team that rallied back against SDSU? ANYWAY I'll throw a name out there for an assistant: Grant Olson.

Don't worry, we'll go 5-2 down the stretch and muss will be back next year.

the more i look at this game, and the more it becomes apparent what bad shape MSU is in. My head is telling me UND should win this game convincingly, but i still just can't believe it

last I checked NDSU is favored in the summit next year. Not exactly sure what point you are trying to make, if any.

This is a mind boggling stupid post in a mindbogglingly stupid thread. Seriously idiots, stop grovelling for NDSU to be our rival. It's pathetic and embarrassing. How's about we find someone new to give a !@#$ about?

pretty sure it was darell doing the trolling in reply #1.

head is telling me yes, heart is telling me no. UND limps around for a while before turning it on in the second 38-34 UND.

I think we were something like 156 only a few years ago.

part of the fall is that new schools are continuously added to this category, some of which will be above us. Unfortunately it also appears that UND is dropping relative to its peers. UND used to be significantly ahead of the dakota and western state schools, now its just the front of the pack and seem to be trending the wrong way.

24-20 und. defense holds its own but their d-line causes mass havoc

nova is a talented team that lost a hardfought game to what might be a non-embarrassing BC team, and on the road by 3 to a fordham team that wasn't bad last year.

awful was a strong word, but the UND game was the only game they played last year where they looked like a dominant, championship caliber team, and they routinely struggled with 'inferior' competition.

MSU has been overrated for years. msu is imo the 5th toughest game of the year, after ewu, sdsu, um and nau. I guess my point is that we shouldn't be in awe of montana state as if they're some unstoppable colossus. They had one outstanding game last year, and it happened to be against UND.

that result was a stunner, they really didn't look very good for long stretches last year. they beat one ranked team last year in three tries, all at home. if they had to play CP and NAU i think they would have been a bubble team.

by definition 6-5 against arguably the toughest schedule in the country would be improvement after getting blown out by awful teams like MSU last year enroute to 4-6. I don't know why people keep talking about how this schedule is setup so well for UND to win, we have 4 top-10 teams at home, three of which I think have a legit title shot. Most of the winnable games are on the road. If UND had a top-10 team, yeah it would be great, but instead we're a fringe playoff team, and we need all the easy wins we can get.

I'm guessing that the clowns freaking out here are the people who left at half, and I could see why you would freak out. If you had stuck around, you would have seen a pretty good team play some pretty good football. Not great, but pretty good. The lines aren't quite up to SDSU, but then again they probably have the best O-line we will see this year, and their D-line is pretty good as well. I think we have a very good chance of splitting the remaining top-25 games. i was at work, and watched the UND game, and couldn't care less about Ferris State. I might go to the NDSU-MSU game with my sister, since my NDSU viewing habits are of such high importance here. That will probably be it. I used to get trolled for hating on Muss, now I get trolled for supporting him.

jesus we massively outperformed expectations and people are freaking out? The D gave up some big plays, but they made the ones that mattered down the stretch. I know people like the underclassmen receivers, but losing hardin after this year is gonna be tough. Without him I think we get smoked yesterday.

EIU put 40 up on FBS SDSU as well, and they're a fairly similar team to UND. http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?id=323292571

48-21 sdsu I don't think our lines are ready for this one

SDSU should be able to maintain their program. They have a solid lock on their states available fanbase and look to be in a pretty strong position there for the foreseeable future. USD easily came out the worst in realignment, including UNO. While UND will be able to put a dent in their MN and WI recruiting, I think SDSU will have a built in advantage with Nebraska, Iowa and KS. Their rise seemed to match the timing of UNO dropping FB pretty well.

UND 37 Valpo 9 i think UND could win by as many points as it wanted to.

level10 and oreallys have been busier during the summer than they were in the spring. Granted both those bars took a swan-dive into the shitter over the course of last fall and into the spring.
