I am not believing Luepke is out for game. Smoke screen. UND should prepare for him playing. Count on it. 

Smokescreen or not he's injured.  Has been for awhile and took a blow on Saturday.

The simplest explanation is there's a portion of the NDSU fanbase that downplays this game to the point where it's bizarre. If there wasn't anything to this game with that portion, treat it like you do every other non-FBS / SDSU / UNI game on the schedule. Somebody did mention it, but there's no doubt that UND is not their #1 rival, but there's also no team that they would rather not lose to. 

A small, loudmouth portion.  I'd put y'all just right behind SDSU and above UNI (which was a fantastic heated rivalry for awhile).

Fair point.  Guessing more UND fans than SDSU fans.  As I stated above, all it takes is one game to elevate it above....perhaps this one is it.  

Yeah the rivalry didn’t die in the 90’s , just a matter of time…….hard for any team to take down the dynasty that not many teams this last decade have ever been able to do…..

so if UND fans care more about their NDSU game than SDSU does that mean SDSU fans dont think the rivalry is that big?

Yea, there’s absolutely no incentive for NDSU to advocate against a conference mate. None. The notion that this would be driven out of Fargo is laughable.

If NDSU wins and knocks UND out of the top 25 polls their best win then becomes NCAT or still UND which neither would be ranked. If your best win is not a ranked win then you should not be a top 4 or even 6 seed! Larson needs to pull for UND to back handedly help out his own team. The MVFC is not a 2 bid conference!

Nothing that an UND win this Saturday won’t solve

I am not so certain "care" equals butts in a rival school's stadium (though, certainly "not caring" would definitely not equal butts in a rival's stadium), but think about this from a geographical standpoint.  Where do most UND fans live?  Grand Forks and Fargo, primarily.  That's an easy game to attend.  You probably have friends/family that went to the other school and it's a fun activity for both sides.  Where do SDSU fans live?  Certainly some in Brookings, but I'm guessing many more in Sioux Falls.  Probably not many friends/family with connections to both of those schools.  Either way, Brookings and Sioux Falls are lot further from Fargo than Grand Forks and Fargo itself.

His arm was in a sling on Saturday so something is dinged up. How bad is the question.

Absolutely!  Things will take care of themselves then.

The sdsu ndsu rivalry doesn’t matter to me.

Quit making excuses for NDSU. It’s not a rivalry if your opposing fanbase doesn’t even care enough to attend, or at least try to buy a ticket the moment they go on sale. 
 

saying the rivalry is dead is like saying the Vikings will never win a super bowl……

[Dustin]

After our game with SDSU this year, I would say they are our #2 rival in football.  That targeting play and subsequent unsportsmanlike conduct were the declaration of war for me.

I'm on your side here.  Who knows, maybe all the tickets were sold to NDSU fans.  We'll see on Saturday.

[sioux24/7]

I don’t really care how big of a “rivalry” it is for either side. Just win baby.

Cousin.

It was a bad play but Connor Wentz is a pretty good dude and certainly didn't feel good about that hit.

Nonetheless, I don't want my favorite team to use cheap tactics to get back at some team's players.

Hopefully YSU beats SIU this weekend...there would be two 7-4 Valley teams....don't see how you couldn't take one of them....and obviously we get the tie breaker on that.  Let's just win so our only worry is if we are seeded or not.  

Totally disagree.  SIU wins and only three teams in the Valley have seven or more wins.  No question who gets in unless they only take two which would be highly unlikely.

A win puts YSU at seven wins and the same record as us.  We get in over them based on our head to head win.  The seventh win for YSU makes our win over them look better/quality win.  So in short, go Penguins.  
 

or just beat the stink in’ bison on Saturday and leave no doubt.

[SiouxHawkGuy]

This game is winnable 

[UND Football Fan]

Joe Glenn led S Dakota over NDSU in Fargo in 2015, why not us. 
 

2015 we went 7-4 and was denied

Seven years later

We have 7 wins

3 sevens let’s go Lady Luck and let us win in Fargo for our 8th win!

He knew exactly what he was doing... it was a total BS hit.  I ended a players career.

[Hawkster]

I feel very good about our chances against NDSU.    It won't be easy but it's doable.   Very doable.
