UND coming off of 3 losing season in the last 4, cant consider this program even a "middle-of-the-pack" Big Sky team. This is the type of game both teams should expect to win, whether they are up or down, now with the MVFC being a stronger conference, give the edge to Missouri St.but UND's coach has experience with MSU's QB this could keep it low scoring, All in all should be a great game of two football teams trying to get a foothold on establishing their D1 programs. Good luck to UND but think it will end up 17-3 MSU.

be pissed.

Sad but true, for many NDSU is the crown jewel, for NDSU its Championships. Just 2 different perspectives, nothing wrong with either one but each one takes a program in its own direction.

Just purely playing the game with NDSU is the most important thing for the UND football program as a whole, this has the possibility of legitimizing the program in the eyes of casual fans around the state with a good showing, for UND it don't get bigger than this game, also if your a casual fan of UND football you don't need a ticket to see the game, you can actually watch this one on TV anywhere in NoDak!!

That statement can be made of vast majority of conferences, Big12, SEC, ACC, Southland, Big East, on and on, these days lots of realignments and with TV money from football and mens basketball more moves to come.

Check your facts on that last statement. The Summit is ranked in the middle and for comparison The Big Sky is at the bottom of D1 mens basketball, that is fact. The rest of the rant I can appreciate and well said as UND probably should have went after KFGO more aggressively after NDSU made offer as the people in the know would have been made aware before deal was finallized.

NDSU has always had great teams and great coaches that move on and replaced with other great coaches that move on, the championship history and culture of that program provides that for the last fifty years, that program from what I can see will continue to be championship caliber in the division its in. They will continue to be top dogs, that train might slow but never stops. UND on the other hand has never had that kind of championship culture and history, except for a 2 year stint in 2001-2002, thats who they need to find is someone to change the culture within the community and program... what I would be worried about right now is losing a potential hire to NDSU if they open up job to outside, unlike UND, NDSU can have pretty much the pick of the litter at the FCS level. This is just an outside the box perspective for both of your schools.

Here's a great article UND is mentioned in..... http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/9/20/4747804/north-dakota-state-football-college-gameday-BISON

You poor mental midget of a man, you have to quit, anything Bison or their success and you flip. You my boy are an emotionally weak little guy, quit letting a handful of people just frickin' own you.

For what??? Losing!! Thats all you want is a little credit from the polls? How is that going to help the team, do they all huddle up on Tuesdays and say hey look we got 4 votes in the poll, there we are listed in the paragraph below the poll with the rest of the teams that don't matter. The team got beat down for three quarters until SDSU started working on some things and to get some reps, and UND got some scores late. Thats the facts, the defense, quarterback play as of right now, and running game are not top 50, luckily there won't be any playoffs so these pink elephants in the room will not be exposed to any more opposing teams or fanbases than absolutely necessary.

Wow, the only threads on this board that get alot of replies have something to do with the NDSU BISON.The jealous nature, hatred, little man syndrome, and obsession with anything to do with anything Bison is at heights I haven't seen with other forums anywhere and I am on alot of boards as I am a huge college football fan. As an outsider to this boards fans one sided rivalry, you make people who dont want to pick a side, pick a side, and this board is a screaming endorsement to pick the Bison. Drop all this crybaby !@#$, act like I hope the student athletes act and try to bring up the athletic program, the football program, and the university itself. Bitching and moaning about past issues with other programs doesn't do this program any good and drives neutral people to the other side. All this anti Bison crap makes you come across like self entitled momma's boys. So many threads on this board end up talking about the Bison. This is just another Bison sight, like a anti-bisonville, but still about the bison. And with publicity, bad publicity is always better than no publicity. Try bringing up threads that promote UND FOOTBALL, they need your help and support, they are a bottom half FCS team that needs a positive fan base. The Bison are 2 time defending champs they are doing just fine with or without what happens on this little board.

He is deserving and in the correct team selection given what you are showing as with the 3 WR shown Hardin is last in 4 out of 6 categories and playing on an unranked team coming off of multiple losing seasons since he has been at UND, it is somewhat gratifying he gets the recognition he does. He should still play with a chip on his shoulder though, because of this.

So still not a complete team, at a playoff level, so if record is 6-5 Muss should get extension. A winning record for this team should be considered a successful venture, without a doubt.
