From a long term stability standpoint, the big sky is a clear winner. Also, if the P5 breaks away, I like the options we would have by sticking together with the top half of the big sky. I think in that scenario there is a lot more unpredictability about what would happen in the summit/valley, especially when you consider NDSU would do us no favors.

Agree about NAUs receivers, men amoung boys. I think it's fair to say Cookus wouldn't have been freshman of the year without them. If NAUs o-line can handle our pass rush, they are going to score some points.

I am thinking there is a pretty good chance the NAU game will have no bearing on who we play in the first round of the playoffs. Win or lose, we probably play sdsu with the winner going to Fargo. Sounds D's ridiculous, but that's what you get with regionalization.

UNI at #3 is ridiculous. Their best win is against Iowa state who is 1-8. And UNI at #3 unfairly boosts the rest of the MVFC. hard to believe anyone would take Sagarin ratings seriously.

Maybe, but if we show obvious fear to throw the ball, expect 9 in the box and I don't think any offensive line can handle that.

The personnel that need to come up big tomorrow, in order of importance: Rudy Kickoff coverage team Offensive line Secondary Quarterback and everyone else. Winning this game without Studs shouldn't have a lot to do with how well bartles or heidlebaugh play. They just need to be average as long as everyone else does there job.

Are we sure Studs isn't calling his own number?

I don't think cal poly beating ewu helps us get a seed. Ewu will have to loose two e to not be seeded, and if cal poly beats them, CP could get a seed. They aren't going to seed three bsc teams. I also don't think k one more win guarantees a playoff spot. We could still end up with 5 bsc teams at 8-3 or better, and NAU at 7-4 on a 5 game winning streak. I don't see UNI in at 6-5 this year, too many teams with only 3 losses at the end of the season this year. An someone who knows something about sagarin explain how UNI is number 3. I assume their is some validity to that rating system being it is part of the bsc tiebreaker. If UNI were ranked accurately, a lot of teams above us would drop.

I keep hoping this and a lot of other obvious plays we should be running are being held back for the playoff run. If we make the playoffs and don't have some surprises in store on offense, I will be getting g off the Rudy bus.

Agree. Need the PA guy to stay the course

At the end of the season we could have 5 BSC schools at 8 - 3 or better, or 6 BSC schools at 7-4 or better, with NAU on a 6 game win streak. Really hope we can win out.

What would it take for the fans to stand up and be loud every defensive down, not just 3rd down? Maybe every body on this board needs to commit to leading the charge?

Eastern Illinois and western Illinois didn't drop after last week, we shouldn't drop after this week

Anyone know of a sports bar in the twin cities that would be streaming the eversport feed for the ISU game? Is BWW able to get the stream?

Last year ISU almost beat Montana in pocatello. This game could be.close early but I think we pull away in by the end of the third quarter. 38 - 17 UND.

I cast my phone to Chromecast, then go to ever sport and Get the game on my phone. For whatever reason that works better for me than casting from the chrome browser on my laptop or using an HDMI cable from my laptop, maybe because my laptop is pretty old.

I am sure the NCAA is on the verge of threatening FU with no post season play for creating a racist and derogatory environment. Oh wait. That might cost them some gait money from the playoffs. No need for the NCAA to get this problem solved, just stick with worrying about logos and and important things like that.

As if losing to ISU last year wasn't bad enough, their AD was the BSC rep for the post season selection committee. I hope we beat them by 60 points.

And we are 3 plays away from being 2 and 5. We are also 2 plays away from being 7 - 0. These types of comparisons aren't going to go in our favor until we win some playoff games, and they ARE going to go in FUs favor until they loose some playoff games.

Also part of the big picture, Gordon and olivera have too much talent to only get a few carries per game. Need to get everyone their share of touches if you expect them to stay around.

Agree. Disappointed to see this topic posted.

Women's hockey is staying. As it should. It will likely produce a national championship, and cutting the program would show UND in a very poor light.
