forksandspoons Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Missouri State’s offense worries me. Shelly is a beast. I think (hope) our offense can take advantage of their LBs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (hope) our offense can take advantage of their LBs though. I think the best way to pull off a win is through time of possession. Hold on to the ball for as long as possible, execute in the red zone, and keep the ball out of Shelley's hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Smurf Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 If they aren’t ready to play - it’ll get ugly early and the Buzz will be NO Buzz in the Alerus. As stated earlier by many - it’s a playoff game. We lose tomorrow and Vegas odds to make playoffs go down drastically AND then even IF we make it. It’ll end up being on the Road where we Suck vs a very formidable opponent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Another thing- this stretch of Missouri St.’s schedule is also a grind for them. Two losses in a row to Arkansas and SDSU. Than us, SIU and UNI (after a bye). A loss for them tomorrow puts added importance on their next two. Really for both teams tomorrow is a must win and we will be facing a very hungry and talented team. Be there, be loud and help the boys out anyway we can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bears Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I talk regularly to some people in the Missouri State athletic department and they are fired up for this ballgame on Saturday! Coach Petrino had one of the grad assistants clip all of the North Dakota celebrations during and after the MSU/UND playoff game in 2020 and he has been playing them all week long. They have identified individual UND players who celebrated at certain points and have been talking all week about payback. Bobby himself was not happy with the MSU win last year and is still bent on getting revenge for 2020. They are putting everything into the emotion and revenge factor in terms of their focus. I think Bobby's handshake with Bubba pregame will be curt. As Bobby Petrino once said about going to Tuscaloosa when he was at Arkansas: We aren't coming to paint! It should be a fun game. Go Bears! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be 0-2 in the playoffs right now but if he stays at Missouri State for the long term, he will have a great postseason mark in no time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this is accurate and that's what they are focusing on. Actually pretty funny if true. It does emphasizes a huge need for UND to get off to a solid start and drain that emotion in the first quarter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Also, if you think Petrino is there "long term" I am not sure what to tell you other than no, no he isn't. You have like 45 transfers on you roster - that is not a long-term recipe. The next coach is in for a world of hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the charter flight just landed about half an hour ago and from what I have been told, they are going east immediately from landing at GFK right past the Red River into Minnesota. They are going to do all their prep work and walk thrus outside of North Dakota. Coach is a little paranoid about prying eyes and isn't messing around this week.

The Sicatoka Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 We have no way to gather intel in East Grand Forks or Crookston, HumInt or otherwise. We don't know anyone in MN or nothing. None. Nope. Zip. Nada. Zilch. I'll just leave this here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually appreciate the insight so don't take my comments as a shot at you. Assuming the whole thing is just a bit at this point, but this is even funnier to think about.
