I'm starting to get uneasy over this game. It's a game that we can end up winning handily but could also get crushed..... it's a strange matchup to say the least.

I was thinking the same thing.... if a bison fan with a username starting with a j had said it then it would've been trolling

This crap is far from nice white fluffy snow, it's more like God spilled his slushy and it fell on our heads

because they are

If anyone needs a good laugh I would suggest going to the EWU forum and looking at their UND look alikes thread

Derrr ahh yet another ahhh typical duhhhhh en dee es you response?

Both teams will be 35ish in the points department if the weather is nice. Timing in the passing game probably won't be off two weeks in a row for UND and who knows maybe the hogs will get a push and we will be able to run.

Something I just realized about the safety play is that Bj fifita would be staring right now had he not left..... He was great in the run game and was an enforcer over the middle... Hopefully Javen can get it together and be ready to go sooner than later

The thing about Sparks is we don't know how good he is since he hasn't played in a legitimate game as a rb yet

For UND to win this week: be at least +1 in the turnovers 4< sacks rush for 200+ yards and play with some attitude on defense for God's sake

Sutton is the only back that is big, every teams needs that. I do think they should give Sparks more of a shot but I don't see that happening. I'm not so sure that Garmin is second fastest by the way. In terms of being scary, who would you rather meet in the hole 220lb Sutton or 170lb Jake Miller? Mersereau has always been soft, I've suggested that he'd make a good corner but that will never happen. I'm not sure that Butler is ready scheme wise to play alot yet, he will prove to be a force in his career though. The dude is a beast and has alot of room on his frame to get around 220.

2nd and 3rd quarters were not quite poo. The other two......

Wait, the game was at the Ralph right? Then yea, he was there. Where were you?

Fixed it, Schleusner made a play, can you blame him? Also, a perfect block to spring it.

I've had a request from a certain Screamin_Eagle174 at the EWU board that he be approved to this board.

That's it? Some people make it seem like Lennon took the good china with him when he left.

Speaking of, can anyone remind me what players Lennon took with him to SIU?

This game marks a fork in the road of this team and this season. How will the team respond to long odds? Will the defense play a full game? Will this team do what it takes to salvage the season and make history? We'll learn the answers to these questions this week.

He's just lonely

The fake punt was a really good call, it was wide open but for some reason Darryl Drown didn't feel like trusting his ability to outrun a linebacker to the edge and tried to fake in then run out which failed miserably. Also Jablonski didn't do his job on the guy that made the tackle. Good call, two players screwed it up.... We get that conversion and possibly uncle Mo tips back in our favor and they don't literally run away with the game late

It all depends on his leg

Root will learn this year that the former Great West teams are of quality and worthy of a broadcast. You guys have a great opportunity in front of you with your schedule, don't mess it up (unless we run the table. Then, by all means)

Is American your second or third language?

This week is huge for this UND team. On the road at the red turf against a team with a prolific passing attack and bad defense. Seems like we may be looking in the mirror this week. The winner of this game will be the one who has a defense show up. Everyone knows about EWUs big and talented WRs and their drop down transfer QB (who didn't start the last two weeks) This week is going to test our secondary in ways we have only had nightmares about. However, they don't run the ball very much which somehow may help us. Their run defense isn't great so hopefully we can run the ball and keep the d fresh and run out the clock. Simply put if we win this game we give ourselves a chance for the post season, if we lose we need to run the table.

Somehow they got the job done last year. Broc Belmore was outstanding vs the run until he got hurt but Nelson stepped in and did a great job. I think this year we are seeing how great Dan Hendrickson was. The entire defense fed off of him and tackled better as a group because of it. The D has no attitude this year. They were a nasty group last year. You can't blame the coaches for putting players in position to make plays, its on the players. What doesn't make sense is that these same players were able to make plays last year. We can't lose sight of the second and third quarters though, the d looked very good. They shut them out, recovered from any mistakes and had a little edge. I'm not sure if they ran out of gas in the 4th or what.
