UND92,96 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 One other game of possible interest to UND fans--Mary (and Josh Murray) are hosting Augie on Midcontinent Sports Channel right now. Quote
Hambone Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 EWU had a 4th and goal from the half yard line, and Bo Levi Mitchell went for a jump pass which was picked off and returned to the EWU 20 (Montana got an unsportsmanlike and will start at the 37 with 44 seconds left in the half). This could be quite the turn of events if Montana can capitalize. EDIT: And Montana State is about to go in and score, which would make it 24-0, with 10 minutes left in the second quarter Quote
Hambone Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Montana returned the favor with a pick returned to Griz territory, and EWU managed a FG before the half expired. Halftime score is 10-6 Griz. Quote
jodcon Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 EDIT: And Montana State is about to go in and score, which would make it 24-0, with 10 minutes left in the second quarter We've been laying it on the Bobcat fans pretty thick this week about scheduling Minot State..."Who's next, Mayville?"

UND1 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 We've been laying it on the Bobcat fans pretty thick this week about scheduling Minot State..."Who's next, Mayville?" Who cares, none of the top schools even recognize us as a football program, so we need to start to prove them wrong. Like it or not we are the St. Francis' of the FCS right now in football. 1 Quote

Like it or not we are the St. Francis' of the FCS right now in football. South Dakota is starting to make a name for themselves with wins over Minnesota and Eastern Washington. UND needs to play big name FCS teams and WIN!!! UND's last big win 2009 vs #16 Cal Poly. On October 1st we need to go to Cedar City and beat Southern Utah to prove that we can not only beat a FCS team but do it on the road. This team needs confidence and it showed a little bit in that first half against Idaho before the wall collapsed. We need to play a solid game against Fresno St. If we lose by 20 or less that would be respectable, but if we lose 55-0 it could be a long season. Quote

UND needs to play big name FCS teams and WIN!!! UND's last big win 2009 vs #16 Cal Poly. Cal Poly finished that season 4-7. UND's last big win was when they were DII Quote
UND92,96 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Cal Poly finished that season 4-7. UND's last big win was when they were DII I agree. The best win of the dI era was probably at Central Arkansas, and I believe they were sub-.500 that season. Quote
darell1976 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Cal Poly finished that season 4-7. UND's last big win was when they were DII But it was a big deal when at that time they were #16. But UNI was the biggest in DII since beating Grand Valley State to win it all. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Montana beats EWU 17-14. Was at this game...let me just say this, UND has a loooooong ways to go to get to what I saw and experienced this afternoon. 26K+ wearing maroon and/or silver going nuts for 4+ hrs. in a GREAT outdoor stadium. Both the Griz and EWU passed the eyeball test and had talent all over the field on both sides of the ball. UND is getting to a great conference next year, but if what I saw is the norm in the Big Sky UND will be in trouble for a couple of years from a competitive standpoint. Both teams went for it on 4th down, took chances to WIN the game and the coaching dwarfs what UND has from both teams on both sides of the ball. Was just a great college FB game in a terrfic college atmosphere. Quote
FSSD Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I just got the Amercia One - Big Sky TV working.. it took a bit of work.. But the site rocks. I am watching two games right now. Weber/Sac St and ISU/UNC. Very impressed with the video quality of both games. Quote

Add a few more weapons and a game plan that will utilize the talent we have and we could be competitve, especially at the Alerus Center if the fans support them in the Big Sky. 3 Quote
Hambone Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Cal Poly all over SDSU 48-14 Sioux Falls is only down 14-10 to McNeese State in the the third SUU beating UT-SA 28-7 in the third UC Davis is beating San Diego 7-0 EDIT: McNeese scores right away and is up 21-10 Quote

Add a few more weapons and a game plan that will utilize the talent we have and we could be competitve, especially at the Alerus Center if the fans support them in the Big Sky. Last year was last year...what I saw vs. Drake and what I saw from the two teams today wasn't close to the same talent...even with our "better" QB this year. The Big Sky is a great conference with some very good teams. UND will need to build to get to the level of play I saw today. Maybe next week's game vs. Black Hills might change my mind though?? Game plan? Have you watched a Muss coached team in the last couple of years! Your comment on the Alerus is very true though. The Al seats half of what Griz Stadium does so in theory UND should be able to fill it...you are correct in that fan support is key. Quote

A lackluster first game -- which they won, as you may recall -- and you're ready to write off the season? It's obvious you have no regard for Mussman, but why not give the team a chance? It's very much the same as the team that competed at Montana last year, with the addition of a serviceable QB, so maybe there's a chance they'll be more competitive as the season progresses. UND is losing right now at Fresno State, 14-9 at the end of the first quarter. The rushing yardage so far is UND 104 and Fresno -3, so maybe the coaching is improving. Quote

Not writing off the season, but you're correct...I'm not a Muss fan. Thought he should of been let go at end of last year. Joey is a servicable QB and will improve. The game I have marked on the calender is Sioux Falls. They embarrassed us 2 years ago. Anything less than a UND blow-out and then the season is lost. BTW....UND has given up 190 yards thru the air in a quarter and a half. Quote
homer Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 The Big Sky conference is one of the top two FCS conferences in the country. Year in and out they have had one of two teams playing for the Nat'l Championship. As an alum and former player I expect UND to compete right away in the conference but being realistic I think you have to allow the program a year or to in the conference to build. UND has proven at times it can play with teams like Montana but consistency not only from game to game but also quarter to quarter are needed. I could have told anyone without being at the game UND is not at the level of the defending Nat'l Champion or one of the premier FCS programs in Montana. But I wouldn't write anyone off as we aren't even in the conference yet. Quote
jodcon Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I just saw the stats in the Minot State-Montana State game...first half yards 370-68. Ouch. Glad they called off the dogs at halftime and played their young guys. Quote
GeauxSioux Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 USD down to Wisconsin 31-3 at half. Quote
Hambone Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Idaho and Fresno State are tied at 7 near the end of the first quarter. Cal Poly down to Northern Illinois 34-14 in the third Weber State thumping Northern Colorado 35-0 in the third. Quote
