I think it’s a personal competitiveness thing, you get respect from your teammates for doing more than is required for the team. Also, sends a message at times to the defense that to bring you down requires extra people and you can show up your competitor a bit. These are hyper competitive alpha males for the most part, so any feeling that you’ve put your competitor down is a win in their mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody who knows football ever thought that was true. Yeah SU fans are bandwagoners that have only been around since 2009........ at least most bisonville posters have been around awhile.....

Who can’t respect what they have accomplished. This is our best chance to beat them in years. I am a little confident but refuse to be overconfident much less cocky. I have not watched su much this year though they have struggled some. They still have the pick of the litter in players for a long time on their team. Let’s do this. Hopefully we play without turnovers and force some. I have been nervous whenever we try to break a tackle with us losing the ball. still, we are undefeated. I really want this game! Go UND ( have accepted the Hawks but have trouble saying it) People need to remember that SU has some elite talent on their roster that just hasn’t put it together yet on the field. We can’t dismiss them at all because in my eyes they are still the team to beat until their season is over. They remind me of the Minnesota Gopher hockey team when it comes to talent but can’t get it figured out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL seems to be a weakness 4 games in and also RB on top of the well-know QB and passing problems. Can't let Miller beat us with his legs and IMO we will be ok. Hard to gauge the Bison defense at this point. Were awful against SIU, but did well vs a very undisciplined MSU and a bad offense with a QB who can't throw vs ISU. No turnovers and keep Miller in the pocket and UND will notch another win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The top-ranked team in the Football Championship Subdivision in this spring season is currently James Madison, but for how much longer that lasts is an open question. Due to a COVID outbreak on the team, the Dukes had last week's home game against William & Mary postponed and JMU announced this week that its Saturday game against Richmond was postponed. https://www.inforum.com/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/football/6937703-McFeely-blog-James-Madisons-issues-and-does-this-FCS-season-need-an-asterisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Other action in the Valley Today: ISU Red up 14-3 over WIU at the half Youngstown up 11-3 over USD at the half SIU up 3-0 over SDSU at the end of 1: SDSU has had a TD overturned by a hold, a FG blocked, and just coughed up the ball at the end of the quarter. SIU nearly turned the ball over in the red zone but was ruled a pass instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be an excuse if NDSU doesn't win the Spring Title. Quote This is in no way a "normal" season. It should not be treated as such. This opinion will not be popular in many corners, particularly where teams are looking strong at this mid-point of the season. North Dakota fans will not think much of it. Delaware fans will not, either. Sam Houston State fans likely think it's trash. That's expected. And if, or probably when, one of those schools wins the national championship they will celebrate and get a trophy for their case, just like every other FCS or I-AA champion since 1978. That's as it should be. If the NCAA is handing out hardware, go for it. Use it to fundraise. Use it to recruit. Use it for attention. Use it how you wish.

April 17th, UND is off. Also the date of the now cancelled Missouri St/Illinois St game. Wonder if the league would allow UND to play at Missouri St that week. Gives both teams 8 conference games. Other leagues are having teams play multiple times against each other this year. So it’s not unprecedented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse the coach made was they have suffered a few more injuries and want to keep everyone safe and healthy for the fall. What’s stopping all the other teams out there with 3 or more losses from just shutting down the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
