geaux_sioux Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 They're good, we're better than we've played the last two weeks. Should be a good game. They have a great RB and a great punt return man. They held PSU to 10 points so they have a good defense. Must win game. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 UND has shown no ability to stop the run or generate a consistent running game so far this season. You do the math on this one... And the Griz come to the Al the following week...they might only have to throw the ball 8 times if the D effort isn't any better vs. UNA. From what I saw the Griz do to the Yotes in week 1, UND is in big big trouble. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Its all hands on deck for this one. This will be the highest rank team that UND has faced at home since going to D-1. UND has lost its last 2 homecoming games, and they must not make it 3 in a row. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 42 17 nau over da sioux I'm afraid you are close to the truth on this one. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 42 17 nau over da sioux No way in hell that happens. A result like that after what happened the last two weeks would say alot about this team. This team is better than that. Quote
gfhockey Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The offense maybe better but our d sucks! 1 Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Not a ton of excitement about this one...rightfully so. The team just needs to go out and win. Not just compete and make it close, but win. Someone has to step up on D and get MAD like everyone has been saying on here. At this point, I'm thinking a 10-14 point NAU win. Never would have predicted that after the SDSU or Sac State game.

gfhockey Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Absolutey no buzz about this game in forks so far. Hasnt been mentioned at the office or the watering whole yet Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Absolutey no buzz about this game in forks so far. Hasnt been mentioned at the office or the watering whole yet It's because people like you are over reacting and acting like the team sucks all of a sudden. They were an exciting team going into the Poly game. Last time I checked they're the same team, they just had two bad games. Hopefully they go New York Giants on everyone to shut them up. 4 Quote
UND-1 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I may not be the biggest UND FB fan in the world but I am up there. If the team isn't going to try, isn't going to show emotion or care - why should I? And to be honest, even if they go out and upset Northern Arizona, there will still be a fundamental flaw with the overall makeup of this team. Sadly, it shows how good they could be if they laid it all on the line and played emotional football as a team. Quote

Sorry, but they don't have the mental capacity or the balls to do that. The first sign of adversity they had this year they completely folded vs. Poly and EWU, back to back. I hope your right but its not happening. Quote
dmksioux Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Absolutey no buzz about this game in forks so far. Hasnt been mentioned at the office or the watering whole yet Although I'm disappointed with the performance the football team has displayed the last few weeks just as much as the next guy, I'm not going to give up on them. I'm not going to get into how I feel about the team on this post but rather post about the "buzz" comment. You may be right, but it is still Homecoming and I've heard from quite a few people who are planning on going. In fact, I'm part of a group that is hosting the "Grand Forks Volleyball" group tailgate party on Saturday. We are expecting between 20-30 people to come out and tailgate and go to the football game. Hoping for a good crowd, good weather...and hopefully some good football from the home team! Having said all that, I would expect around 9,000-9,500 for this game. Quote

The first sign of adversity they had this year they completely folded vs. Poly and EWU, back to back. I hope your right but its not happening. But Portland State had the lead three separate times early in the game against them and they didn't fold against San Diego State after getting down a few scores early. No doubt about it though, the defense needs someone to step up and be a leader. Quote
Matt Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Normally I'd say there's no way the team would get run at home, but that's what happened in the 4th qtr of that Poly game. So now I'm not so sure. Quote

I will still care, and show up on saturday, I hope the team does the same. Quote
Johnny Five Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Good luck this weekend. Too bad there wasn't a hockey series to piggyback/market on this but I would guess that's a whole different discussion. Quote
UND92,96 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Wayne Nelson just tweeted that McGill is out for the season with a knee injury. Quote
UNDColorado Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 If the below tweet is true we are in trouble: SiouxFootballInsider @SiouxFootball #UND defense could be without LB Garrison Goodman, NG Devin Benjamin, and ILB Derrick Goard also. #bangedup Expand Reply Retweet Favorite Quote
mizzou/sioux Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 For what it's worth--and perhaps at this late date it isn't even relevant. But I remember the horrific Minnesota Gopher elevens of the 1957-59 era. In 1956, the Gophers lost 7-0 to Iowa, a loss which cost the Gophers a trip to Pasadena. The 1957 started out with a bang but conditions quickly deteriorated as the team lost four of its last five games. The 1958 season was more of the same. In 1959, the Gophes actually finished last in the Big Ten. However, in 1960, the team rebounded, tying Iowa for the Big Ten Conference co-championship and then finishing No. 1 in the nation at a time when the regular season--not the bowl games--determined the national champion. Gopher coach at the time, Murray Warmath,was hounded during the 1959 season. But the team had gone from worst to first. Oh, by the way, Warmath was named national coach of the year in 1960. Perhaps we need a little patience. San Diego State and Portland State were good outings. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Quote
