Last year, Nebraska had its worst team in the last 50 years. No excuses - UND should have won last year.  I think Boise State is a better team than last year’s Nebraska, but as you said, thankfully UND is better, also. 

This gives the margin for victory.  Win turnover margin by 2.  Get an early lead.

Again, trying to pretend you know exactly what the probabilities and possibilities might be if UND can't beat the #1 team in FCS and the MWC favorite on the road and the #2 team in FCS at home all in a span of 4 games in the front half of the season is laughable. Not sure how many teams in the country at the FCS or even G5 level manage to go 3-0 or 2-1 in that stretch. Yet you claim there are major problems if they can't accomplish it, no ifs, ands or buts about it. No one is saying it can't be done, but most people also realize there is a lot of season left regardless of what happens in that short stretch.

I also see the brain trust is banding together, the point made must not be too far off. Pretty cute though.

I don’t know the exact probabilities, but I know to eventually make a trip to Frisco to support UND in the Natty, UND needs to start beating the big boys. Day by Day - starts tomorrow in Boise. I’ll be there cheering the boys on, as per usual.

Be careful not to turn SiouxSports into a virtual daycare center, especially with all of the “sensitivity” narrative of late (lot of sensitive folks on here), but I understand where you’re coming from.

How dare you!!!!!   Greta is mad at this blasphemy!!!!

 

Don't you know fan enthusiasm and exuberance is paramount to an excellent season?

 

People's existence is on the line here, dag nabbit.

How about we do this: everyone posts their score predictions for tomorrow. The person the furthest from the final score gets their account suspended for a week. 

Not doing a game score prediction here.

Week 1 - I had Z with breakout game

Week 2 - my prediction was Elioder was gonna have a big play, but was busy before the game and didn't get online  to post it before the game started.  Kicking myself for not getting on and posting that. 

Week 3 - I am actually going back to Elioder for another  big play.

Danny has a list of plays the opponents have not seen.  I'm sure we will see 3-4 tomorrow.  Think Utah State.  That weather delay killed us.  They had time to recover from being 14 points.  Mature team is on our side.

And you're already predicting how the season will end based on games played in the front half of the schedule.
Things aren't as clear cut, black and white as you want to make them. That isn't how football, sports or life works.
But you've set yourself up nicely for a few months of being worked up and ranting about anything and everything if UND can't win 2 of 3 games where Massey currently has them at 15%, 17% and 28% to win. 

after ten years of day by day why aren't those percentages higher?

two years ago v utah state i predicted (before the game) that 3 different qb's would throw td's..........i'm taking to another level this year.........................

4 different qb's (q being one of them again) will throw td's in this game........

We were about to launch a Let’s Help Bubba to purchase the equipment (storage, shelving, etc.) needed for the inside of this trailer (and maybe the paint job) when someone offered to pay for it.  This is a good step forward - much better than trying to load everything onto an airplane.  I don’t know what the airline charged for loading, transporting and unloading the plane but it must have been substantial. Additional football equipment can now be efficiently transported to away games - whether the game is in Brookings or Boise!

There will be more info on a Let’s Help Bubba soon.

Needs to be adjusted. Black or Kelly green freightliner … but otherwise trailer is nice. UND FB equipment on the move - nice.

Does #92 count in this? A fake FG might be in the works for these next couple games

I know a lot of you around here think you are very important, and your opinions related to UND sports are uber important, but holy !@#$, do you really care that S&S used their standard red rig to pull that trailer? S&S needs to have a Kelley Green tractor for the odd times they pull the UND Football trailer? Seriously, a lot of people around these boards are fudging delusional. Check your priorities. 

[Sioux94]

Here are some pics. Some like to complain about whomever, but well planned nice event with a good turnout. They even had the band march down the street an hour into the gathering.....to have  everyone come outside. They had UND necklaces and pompom cheer things to give away to people.  Was a fun night!

Tommy, q, Feeney, and the Polish Rifle.

That looks like a fun time, Sioux94. When I look at the third picture, I feel like the couple at the table in the middle is wondering, "why is everyone but us wearing green? Who are these yahoos? Is it St. Patrick's Day already?" 

But the guy is like, "whatever, I'm already sitting, and I want a beer. We aint going anywhere."

Policing that kind of language isn't turning this site into a "daycare center".  Thank goodness he's doing his job by enforcing the rules.  Any one of us that doesn't like the rules doesn't have to use the site.
