UND-1 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Lets all take a step back here, kids. UND has long way to go before they are even playoff material. Let's just enjoy the progression and hope with each year comes a couple more victories, playoff games, etc. NDSU will be favored by 24-27, IMO.
Rory Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 SU is a double digit favorite no doubt - but check the history (which SU fans have selective memory about). There are quite a few years when the lower-ranked of the two teams was the victor. Let's play the game. Either one of those teams at the time they played won 4 titles in a row and and only 3 combined losses in those 4 seasons?

Just because we are moving in the right direction does not mean we are there.
Siouxperfan7 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Either one of those teams at the time they played won 4 titles in a row and and only 3 combined losses in those 4 seasons? Quit living in the past!!
JohnboyND7 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Either one of those teams at the time they played won 4 titles in a row and and only 3 combined losses in those 4 seasons? The defense is almost entirely gone. We don't know much about them. Fortunately, UND's offense is not very good if last year is any indication.
darell1976 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Either one of those teams at the time they played won 4 titles in a row and and only 3 combined losses in those 4 seasons? I think when UND was about to break the streak in 93 all we heard was how many NC you guys won in the 80's and in 1990. Are we playing that card again Rory? You don't have the same team as last year, UND doesn't have the same team as last year as players leave/graduate...anything can happen. Since you love living in the past remember when Indiana State came to the dome and beat the Bison during their championship run...yeah anything can happen.

Since you love living in the past remember when Indiana State came to the dome and beat the Bison during their championship run...yeah anything can happen. Correct me if I am wrong, but UND has yet to beat a single ranked FCS team on the road. Given their lack of talent, I doubt they are going to come into the FargoDome and beat a Bison team who will be ranked very high and have essentially their entire offense returning. Your 90's card is irrelevant. When UND beat NDSU in 1993, they were 3 years removed from a National Championship and starting to come down to earth while UND had been extremely competitive the year before and on paper, were equal going into that game. This year, NDSU will be the #1 team heading into week 1 and is largely expected to be one of the premiere teams in the FCS. UND is expected to be a bottom feeder once again. No comparison. That Indiana State team spent the majority of the season ranked and proved it by finishing 7-4 in the toughest conference in the FCS, barely missing out on the playoffs. They also had maybe the best running back in the country that year, Shakir Bell, who was coming off a season where he finished second in the Walter Payton award. It would be safe to say that the 2012 Indiana State team was significantly better than any team UND will be putting on the field this upcoming season.
CMSioux Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Okay you've made your point - SU had a great run, one of the greatest in FCS history why do you have to diminish it by constantly demonstrating that no matter how great a run SU has, you and many others will be eternally inferior to the extend you have to prowl a UND fan site and set the record straight on every post. This is a UND fan site - we are going to be optimistic about our team (most of us) - why can't you understand that? 1

I believe SUU was ranked 17 when we beat them in 2011, one the road.

Besides SUU, UND beat #3 UNI when we were in DII. NDSU is not an NFL team we aren't a pee wee team both are DI fully scholarship teams. After the game on Sept 19, we can talk about how good your team is and how bad our team is. Of course if UND beats SU then we probably won't see you again until the next time the two teams match up.
CMSioux Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I believe SUU was ranked 17 when we beat them in 2011, one the road. Those damn facts - hey trolls don't care about facts. They care about UND.
Bison Dan Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Those damn facts - hey trolls don't care about facts. They care about UND. SUU has such a rich history in fb.
Hayduke Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 SUU has such a rich history in fb. Well, at least when they applied to get in the Big Sky Conference, they got in. The College of Home Economics didn't, did they? 1
darell1976 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 SUU has such a rich history in fb. Hey he didn't ask what powerhouse has UND beaten on the road, he asked what ranked team has UND beaten on the road.
Bison Dan Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Well, at least when they applied to get in the Big Sky Conference, they got in. The College of Home Economics didn't, did they? How's that working for you?
darell1976 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 How's that working for you? Big Sky worked out great, a home for all our sports in one conference, thanks for your interest in UND athletics.
JohnboyND7 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Big Sky worked out great, a home for all our sports in one conference, thanks for your interest in UND athletics. All of your sports? Darell it's rude to lie.
darell1976 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 All of your sports? Darell it's rude to lie. Most of them are, only 5 teams are not in the BSC (hockey, swimming and baseball).
JohnboyND7 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Most of them are, only 5 teams are not in the BSC (hockey, swimming and baseball). Is that all? Or most?
The Sicatoka Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Is that all? Or most? Now it's "all or most". Great ... more "majority or plurality" and "how do we round to an integer" discussions.
