Smoggy Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 TD UNA, no time left. Just waiting UNA's extra point to tear down the goal posts. Quote
Smoggy Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 We picked off the 2 point conversion. What a fitting end. Quote

OETKB Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 "Sweet home Alabama! Second time in three years. Goin' down there to win it all. God bless the Fighting Sioux! Quote
LakerFan Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Congrats on the big win guys...I told you to have faith earlier in the week. We will see you in Bama!!! Quote
Smoggy Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 What airports are around Florence? The only one I'm sure of is schoals area (msl). Quote
jimdahl Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 What airports are around Florence? The only one I'm sure of is schoals area (msl). Huntsville showed up as being "within 70 miles" when I searched online just now. There's another thread about traveling to Alabama forming already. Quote
Diggler Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 The defense was un-freaking-believable in the first half. They absolutely dominated. Then they only followed that up with a very, very good second half. The best they have played since the last semifinal game. This was far and away the best game UND has played all year. The special teams were great, the offense was great, the defense was beyond great. I've got a huge headache for the 3rd week in a row. Oh well. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 I was lucky enough to be in the backroom during the first half and we had the radio on. I thought Schultzy was going to have a heart attack in the 1Q. Got to watch the second half at home. Great job by the defense. 3? INTs. And it sounded like 4 or 5 sacks. Quote
farce poobah Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 What was the attendance? It sounded loud on the radio ... Quote
Diggler Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 There were about 10,000 people I believe. I'm almost glad there weren't more people there because it was loud. If it would've been full, I think my eardrums may have broke. The students were louder than usual, but the difference was the regular people. They did a helluva job. They were on their feet alot, not just on 3rd down. UNA did a pretty good job of handling it though, they only had one (shoulda had two) delay of game penalties. Quote

The regular fans were really awesome. That was a great win. Quote
LakerFan Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 how many fans do you guys expect to be in Alabama this weekend? Quote
Goon Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Any news on the injuries? Number 81 Travis Lueck mess up his shoulder and was favoring it a lot after the game, I am hoping he can play next week. His return to start the game was huge. Quote
Smoggy Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 (edited) Has anything been said about the injuries? Seemed like a lot of guys were getting banged up. I suppose we might have to wait until tomorrow. I sure hope no one misses the NC. Especially Lueck. Edited December 7, 2003 by cheeringsiouxfromsmoggycali Quote
RD17 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 The bottom line on the game- UND was a much better team up front on both sides of the ball. You can have all the speed in the world, but it's useless if you're getting manhandled at the point of attack. The fake FG was a brilliant playcall by the coaching staff. Glas wasn't having his best day and the difference between having a 13 point lead and a 17 point lead was huge at that point in the game. For as much team speed as UNA was supposed to have, UND dominated in the special teams. The wall that the return team set up on those two long punt returns by Lueck was a thing of beauty. I'm not sure if there is a better defensive coordinator at any level of college football than Bubba Schweigert. He adjusted to those fake screens that were pulling the corners up and that led to the big interception by Manke. The DL and LBs did a terrific job of recognizing the middle screen and backing off on the pass rush. Bubba even had the NT playing a short zone a few times. I was a little worried when Lueck and Ahlers went down and the Sioux had to play a couple of receivers short in the second half. I thought Mussman did a nice job of going to more conservative playcalls and two TE sets and relying on the OL to control the game. A great job all the way around. Quote
redwing77 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I'm still not convinced about the offensive coordinator though. Today was an exception and maybe lately it has been, but maybe we can put this season to bed and bring hom an NC in football! Quote
