Where is the UND get together Friday night. Believe I saw somewhere before it was going to be at the Buffalo Wild Wings, can someone confirm? I can't find where I saw that before. 

Yes. BWW 6-8pm.  777 W Main

Boise State release their updated depth chart yet?  Can't find traditional game notes.

Dom hedging again or maybe just stating the obvious.

I agree with his assessment. Have said that the entire time: see previous posts. UND needs win vs Boise and/or SDSU. Going 2-2 ain’t going to add up to sh*t in the end.

UND losing on Saturday doesn’t mean we don’t belong with NDSU and SDSU. The real test is game 4. No doubt though that a win on Saturday gets us a step towards that level. We still need to win the Mo Valley if we want to prove we are at the top

This is a bull$hit take. Win the fuckin game, and then go down to Brookings and beat them.
 

Go Hawks

Any prediction other than a UND win is unacceptable. Going to be tough, Boise has good players (especially their running back), but no reason UND can’t pull the upset. 

Go Hawks! I’m looking forward to this road trip.

I've been digesting a lot of Boise State content this week. Potentially losing this game is a none-starter for them, but they seem to be pretty spit between needing style points and just winning. The most vocal radio personality is pretty adamant that this won't be close (20, 30, 40 point win). 

Fans and Media are one thing, but if any of this noise is seeping into the BSU psyche, I could really see UND pulling this one off. Jump on them early, keep it close, put doubt in their mind. This just feels different to me. I think UND can really do this.

Ranking if we win? Ranking if we lose?

Remain the same if we win (because Boise will be considered sh!te at that point). Drop to 20-25 if we lose close. Drop out of all polls if we lose by 3 scores or more.

 

I predict a win. 24-16 Hawks!

 

Edit: Oh, and NDAC will drop some in the coaches' poll if the Hawks lose because the FCS water boys who actually fill out the polls are clueless.

Their media has already got confused. Said we were 3-3-1 vs FBS teams

Actually, I've seen it reported as an all-time 3-3-1 record against current Mountain West teams. It appears that they are missing a couple of games, as I believe UND's actual record against current Mountain West teams is 3-5-1: Wins against Wyoming & Nevada, 1-1-1 vs. UNLV and losses against: Fresno State, San Diego State, San Jose State and Utah State.

The chairman of the FCS Selection Committee said in a podcast last year that losing to an FBS team does not affect your selection possibility, winning would help of course. Then again there is the "Montana Clause" which means if you are Montana nothing else matter.

Quite a few of you predicting Albertson's Stadium to become  "The Al ... west" on Saturday. 

I think UND will put a mighty scare into them, but I'm not quite that bold. 

(Massey has Boise by 17; it'll be closer than that.)

Just win to piss off boizzee

You’re being reasonable, but having confidence and swagger is never reasonable. Gotta will this thing to the finish line …

Lot of confidence on board this week. Not sure if it’s what UND FB FAN said and people are trying to will it by saying (writing) it, or if people really think we’re going to win.

How many 10+ play drives are you putting together versus an NDSU or SDSU defense? 

Honestly if we can’t move the ball against NDSU or SDSU then we are not going to beat Boise either. My worry isn’t out offense, it all hinges on the defense getting some stops

We really think we're going to win. Everything feels right about this game. Boise is down. We got the players to pull it off. It starts with coming out and getting a lead. Take an early lead and put all the pressure on Boise. 

35-31 UND

I’m not sure Boise is down. I think they’ll still win the mountain west. Lost to a couple of really good teams IMO.

I will be happy if we beat NDSU or SDSU. Losing to those teams and beating Boise is no consolation. 
 

we all know you will sheet on this team if they lose to Boise, regardless if they beat NDSU or SDSU………. The season doesn’t hinge on this game, but I agree we need to win if we want to be relevant.

Until you have done it you haven’t done it

[rochsioux]

Three games: Boise State, SDSU, NDSU. 
Win all three and we have entered a new era.
Lose all three and it will be the same old same old of mediocrity to not quite good enough. 
Win two out of three and we will have made significant progress and should be a realistic contender. 
Win one out of three and it gets muddled. Hard to tell where we’re at. May depend on who we beat how how competitive were the losses.
