Haha well this middle aged guy.....apparently has more of a life than you. I don't spend my free time on a college fan base site where I never went to school just to rip on them. So lets get this straight, you are only a casual NDSU fan, have no interest in UND.....but you are constantly on the UND site. To me this means either A. You have no life B. You should probably go see a psychiatrist if you need to come on a UND site to try and bash a team and school to make yourself feel better. Anyway.....enough on that....not going to tie up this thread anymore on that subject.

So you won't even be watching the game.......but yet you are on this site constantly, mostly making negative comments about UND. Once in a blue moon you take a semi shot at NDSU, but as you stated you are an NDSU fan. It's the biggest game in the state, if you won't even be watching.....you really shouldn't even be posting here. If you are going to sit and post here all the time, you should be watching the game, and checking the Notre Dame game during commercials. If you won't be watching the game, don't post on here....go to the Bison site and post.

Johnboy, you sometimes like to claim that you are just a fan of football and are in ND, so that is why you post here. Can you just at least admit that you are hoping NDSU pummels UND by at least 30 next week, lets get real here.

We are not as good as we thought we were after week one, and I don't think we are as bad as everyone now thinks we are after week two. We are still in somewhat of a rebuilding situation unfortunately, and those that had us 8-3 this year just wasn't that realistic in my opinion. This is only the 2nd year of the rebuild, we will take a few lumps this year.....and we just took a lump. Fortunately the lump still resulted in a W.

Well we are glad that you haven't posted in a while, thank you. This game has reset some expectations for sure.....but feel free to not post again for a while.....probably wouldn't bother most of us.

Wow guys....don't jump off the cliff quite yet. Senior lead Drake team with something to prove made us look really bad in the second half. Thanks to Drake for playing tough for 4 quarters. If this doesn't wake us up, nothing will. They are going to have to be a lot more focused and inspired, and just plain old a lot better next week to even have a chance. This certainly changes my perception of what could happen next week, if we play like this and turn the ball over it could be a blow out next week. That said I think Bubba and staff will be chewing some ass this week and I expect a much better performance next week. But man this was really disappointing.

Woops....I was on that thread all day, flipped over to this one....thought I had gone back to that thread...didn't realize I was still on this one.

Senior lead Drake team with something to prove, made us look like really bad in the second half. Thank you Drake for playing hard the whole game, if this doesn't get the teams attention that they have to be way more focused and into it, nothing will. It does kind of change my perception of what could happen next week.

Man.....this second half is shades of last year....ridiculously ugly offense.

I think I'm going to fall asleep

You've got that right!

Boy....this game leaves a lot more questions......instead of answering them.

Big run from Santiago coming

That first run that Santiago had in the second half that he ran for 7 yards, I think he is the only UND RB that would have made that run. We are going to need him to play to be a strong team, he is just going to have to learn very quickly he needs to hold on to the ball.

He is basically a troll, although he claims he is not a Bison fan. 95% of his comments on here are negative towards UND.

Marginally better? Yes the run game has been bad, but probably 200 yards passing and 3 TD's in the first half, and no snaps over the head. I'd say it's a little more than marginally better, however the fumbles and the lack of running is certainly concerning. But if they are focusing all on stopping the run, we have to prove we can beat teams through the air if that is what opponents are going to try and do. If we didn't fumble on the one yard line it would be 28-0, not a bad half time score. 21-0 isn't a bad halftime score either.

Lets see what kind of corrections they can make in the run game at half, run game looks like crap in the first half.

I'd like to see some runs to end the half.

Well it's better he gets the fumbleitis out of his system today....instead of next week. We can't put the ball on the ground 3 times in the first quarter next week.

Ouch that is going to hurt if we can't trust to give Santiago the ball this season.

I hate to admit it, but I'd take last years home uniforms over these. I'm not crazy about them.

I think all of us would be pissed if we got blown out, and disappointed. Like some others have said, it would somewhat depend on how the game played out as to how pissed or upset we were. If we turned over the ball 3 times in our own territory and you guys ran back a kick for a TD and things like that happened that is one thing. But if you guys consistently drove up and down the field on us that would be a sign we have a long ways to go. Even if we should happen to win though, we realize we have quite a ways to go. A month ago I think many UND people felt that getting blown out was certainly a possibility, and wouldn't be surprised. Now if we get blown out, I'll be extremely disappointed. Win or lose though, we still have the whole conference season ahead of us and it's just one game, but a pretty big game. If we should happen to win, will certainly help our playoff chances. A loss....whether it's close or a blow out is still 1 loss that will count against us and hurt us if we are close to making the playoffs.

31-6 UND

I also was a bit unsure of the matte helmets and wasn't that crazy about them. But in watching some of the video highlights, I liked how it looked with our white jerseys. Will be interesting to see how they look with the green tops.
