Who’s permission?

No idea, but it was glorious, whatever it was.

I love the interlocking ND logo. It is my favorite of any UND logo of any sport. (I’d like to see the hockey jerseys get these on their shoulders again). Is using it every game against our “legacy” agreement when it comes to imagery, or could we do that?

I personally like the “Skokna game.” Had 3 touchdowns including the kickoff return to set the tone. Gave the “horns down” right the face of a Bison defender in the end zone. Talked about wanting to rehab his injury so he could beat these guys. I mentioned earlier how happy I am for Tommy and Bubba, and i should have mentioned Skokna too.

Yep. Been saying that for a while. The program changed today.

Happy for Tommy to get this win under his belt. It was certainly possible for him to own (and I mean REALLY own) all the quarterback records, but yet never beat NDSU. This win cements his legacy much more. Also happy for Bubba. He maybe could have had a couple more shots at this victory before he hangs it up, but glad he doesn’t have to think about never beating them. wonderful day all around.

Glad we beat them, but good luck to them. The Badgers can tear through the Big Ten as far as I’m concerned.

Yep. Celebrate tonight, then get ready for UNI. Like I said, now the belief is there.

I don’t know…there’s one Dakota school that might possibly lose to all the others.

Totally agree. The good thing now is that the belief is there.

Of I all the scenarios this could have played out, what happened today was the most unexpected.

Those helmets looked beautiful out there. I think it made the win a little sweeter.

Yep. Outlook has completely changed.

20 years of frustration taken out today.

I requested this get changed earlier in the week.

Seems like there’s plenty of doubt to go around, so I’ll add more: it took Roger Thomas 8 tries to finally beat the juggernaut Bison. This is only Bubba’s 6th try.

Yep. The backup QB hasn’t made any mistakes (yet), so there’s a big appeal there.

Technically, most statistics would say otherwise. Just sayin'... I'm gonna end up regretting that I wrote this...sigh

So stack the box and make Cam beat you with his arm?

Anybody watch that game or see a replay? What went down that put USD on top?

I agree that this game (win or lose) will set the tone for the rest of the season.

Well, according to you, so does Tommy, so I guess it will be 3 hours of unwatchable football.

I wonder if he would if he were not #1. My bet is that he would retire from football or maybe even play a backup role helping our new starter.

In 2021 it was only the fourth game of the season. We had gone on the road and handled Idaho State, convinced ourselves that Utah State was hampered by factors beyond our control (weather, time of night), and rolled Drake at home. This year, we've already seen what happens in a big game (and it's not good), so I can understand the lack of confidence. Beat either Boise St. or SDSU and this town is feeling much different. I do suspect, however, by Saturday, there will be a good vibe going. NDSU in football and Wisconsin in hockey on the same day is pretty special.

Probably a very realistic prediction. Need a Mike Mooney style play in order to flip the script.
