Never said it was an automatic win. Taking a look at actual history of UND out west in night games(kickoff at or after 5pm) as a D1 team against FCS teams. These are the results: 2008 - L @ Davis - by 7 pts 2010 - L @ Poly - by 1 pt 2012 - W @ Sac - by 22 pts 2015 - W @ Poly - by 24 pts 2016 - W @ Sac - by 33 pts 2017 - L @ Davis - by 24 pts 2018 - W @ Sac - by 26 pts We are 4-3 which is better than our overall record in D1 against FCS teams of 50-50. In others words, we are better in Cali night games than we are overall all, so, bring on the Cali night games.

So is the Cali night game a problem or not? You said it was but I disagree and offered evidence.

Yes, I believe it does. From the sideline the players can feel the energy of the fans. When a team makes one mistake and the fans react with the “here we go again” groan it deflated people. NDSU is a great example. Their fans are over the top with expectations of greatness.

We < bleeped > them in a Cali night game in 2015. Didn’t bother that team one bit.

I actually think expectations of fans are just as important. Look at fan bases that expect success, they usually have teams that achieve. It’s kind of a chicken or the egg situation.

Fresh meat at qb for teh AC this year. His second career start will come against the Mighty Fighting Hawks. I look forward to Schmidt making his head spin.

Saw him in person the other day on campus. He’s got the frame for at least another 30 lbs. I’ve heard he runs like a safety.

He’s usually not mr sunshine with his predictions.

DL has me scared to death right now. If they surprise we could be a very good team. If they flounder against the run we could be in trouble and the NDSU game will be worse defensively than last time.

Gundy and Blackbeard right now

???? Jimmy was bigger and faster. And better looking.

He’s a family man, no worries here

In 8th grade maybe.

I like our situation at guard and center. Hopefully some of the young tackles blossom.

What?

Salty Mike!

Needs to get eligible.

Cost per tails?

It’s a real gut punch. Gotta be on top of the grades.

Just gonna throw it out there that the scout team does not run our own offense against our defense in preparation for any opponent. They do their best to replicate what that weeks opponent does.

Oh so he’s the “Florida Man” I keep hearing about. Makes sense.

A good rooftop patio for a legit restaurant would kill in that location

Are you saying we need to “supplement” our strength and conditioning program?
