They do play at both Sac State, Weber State, and Montana State, so their opportunities to prove themselves will come. Not sure I see them losing any of their other games.

Saying Montana can compete for a national title is different than them being a top team to make the playoffs. The jury is still out on whether they can beat the top teams and make a run for a title. Until they beat the top Big Sky teams they are unproven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 That win against Youngstown is currently the season saver.....sigh. missed a great chance against SDSU. Currently 4-3. Abilene.....Win @ Indiana State.....Have to win South Dakota.....Senior day....please win. @NDSU...loss. 7-4. Hold serve at home, don't crap the bed against Indiana State. I wouldn't mind them winning in Fargo..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do worry about the next 3 games, though; Bubba ball has proven we likely will slip up somewhere down the line and go 6-5, missing the playoffs and continuing mediocrity. We will see. I’ll be supporting the squad down the road. Will you all?

We have to win 3 of last 4 to make playoffs unless one of those wins is in Fargo, otherwise our resume is not good and best win could be against Abilene Christian. Right now we have no wins against “good” teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If UND can go a year without losing to a team that they shouldn't, that would be a good thing for a change. Not their faults Mo State fell off a cliff. Getting Youngstown and UNI to 7 wins will boost the resume. YSU has a path to get there, UNI might be a tougher path. As @The Sicatoka would say: Control what is yours to control. Get the Dub next week against AC and go from there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green and White forever. I've got a bad feeling about the attendance of the game, but hopefully the guys are in playoff mode by then. They showed in spurts that they can play with anyone. Just gotta leave mistakes behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND needs to take care of business first and finish at least 7-4, with our SOS and losses to only top 10 teams and FBS team (hey they are still FBS) not sure how anyone with credibility could say UND does not make it. But we are well aware of what can happen behind the closed doors of the selection committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux94 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Getting YSU to 7 wins would be nice as that would then be a high quality road win for us. Seems crazy people are saying the MVFC would only get 3 teams in. Like really....some of the other teams in those cream puff conferences should get in over the 4th best MVFC team? I wouldn't mind getting some style points in at least one of the games the next three weeks. That said, I'm more worried about us slipping up somewhere....but at least two of them are at home. Also have to show we belong when we play at NDSU, an upset would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky is going to get 5 and the CAA could get 5 as well. *UNI winning out to get to 7-4 will also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 On a side note......does a college FB game really need to be almost 4 hours in duration? It's getting ridiculous. Media timeouts and review after review after review. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
