Hopefully the halftime speech is something analogous to Herb Brooks’ “if you lose this game…”

Score here and score after halftime and we got a game.

Need a big time reset. Shame shame shame…

YSU beat Illinois St. by 3.

Listening on radio for the first time this year. Sounds like I’m not missing anything on the web stream.

The ESPN website shows this game on ESPN+, so how is that different than any other game?? Other than the “game of the week” stays excludes Midco from televising the game?? This game was ESPN3 last year.

That comment was tongue in cheek.

Hope you’re right!! That means the rest of the games should be easy peasy.

It would mean we got lucky. And while I’d rather get lucky against the Bison more than any other team, getting lucky implies you didn’t deserve it. That’s not what I want as the identity of this team. Let’s prove we belong by backing it up today.

Not saying he even wants to play another season, but how does the whole Covid year, medical redshirt, and 4-game red shirt all fit in together? Is it a convoluted mess?

Too funny. I remember that game as well. I believe it was the first Sioux road sweep of the Gophs since 1980.

Listed as senior (like Schuster) so another year is possible for Luke??

I agree it seems like a bit of regression. But I am still very optimistic for the future of the Tupac era.

Any chance this gets played on the scoreboard at the Ralph??!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLvvBBjMSlg

Sounds like UNI's o-line is young and inexperienced. I hope that leads to lots of pressure and mistakes made by their QB. I think our offense is diverse enough to attack them whatever way will work.

As a whole, I think UND is a bit better than last year and UNI is bit down from last year, so on paper, a 10-14 point win seems about the right call. The X-factor is playing on the road. That could easily swing 10-14 points in the other direction, making this essentially a draw.

Agree. That would really only leave South Dakota in the way for a 9-2 season, and presumably a top 8 seed.

I just watched the 2022 game highlights. This will definitely be a tough test on the road. I think we can build off the confidence of the NDSU will and do it, though. Would this be our biggest road win since 2018 at Sam Houston State?

A post-season rematch entered my mind as well. Maybe a 1994 style playoff game.

Thanks.

It used to be on one of the ESPN networks (as were just about every conference that isn't Power 5). I get CBS Sports but I pay extra for it, so it's not a matter of not being able to watch it, but I do feel like that's a step down in visibility during the hype leading up to selection Sunday.

One thing they touched on about NDSU is that they haven't fully recovered from the COVID year, which is something I touched on in whatever thread it was back when Trey Lance declared for the draft. I said that Trey's decision would help bring parity to the FCS, which it seems to have done.

Just hope the winner is the same. 1 point or 50 points - gotta have it.

Everything was set up in miles (and yards) long before the switch to metric, so some things just stick around.

Has anybody ever heard of Hack City? I stumbled upon their show on YouTube. Obviously I was searching and clicking on so much UND stuff that this popped up. They do a rundown of the FCS, presumably every week, but this is the first time for me. They talk about our game at the top of the show.
