We should move past Chattanooga to #9 this week with a good chance to move to #8 next week above the loser of Central Arkansas vs Sam Houston. Win our first playoff game and we might get a quarter final matchup with FU.

What is probably going to happen is on NAUs first 1st down, everyone's going to sit down and be quiet. I can promise that I will be the last in my section to do that, and if everyone else who reads this agrees to do the same, maybe we have a chance at having third down not be the only time iit gets loud.

Agree, but the only people who know that are on the catwalk. at the last game I tried standing the entire time on defense at the beginning of the game in section 215 and would have continued if I could have gotten 5 or 6 people anywhere in my section to stay up. Maybe the catwalk crowd needs to start the game in the stands? Is there a section where the crowd support is better?

Also not out of the question for Richmond to lose to William and Mary at the end of the year.

This^^^^^^^

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.
