Tangolou Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Western Illinois has the worst rushing offense in the FCS and second worst sack rate. Defensive front should have their best chance of winning a one on one this week. We'll see.. Quote

But even if we win 45-0 it won't mean all that much as far as proving that we've really improved at anything when it really matters. However we do need to be in more of a positive mindset heading into NDSU. I'll be looking forward to watching UND football this weekend as we are only guaranteed to watch UND football 11 times a year. Quote

Sad reality that we usually only get 11 games per year. no playoff games at home really stinks. Things need to change… Quote
GoodGood Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Tommy’s going to throw a fade to Klein for a touchdown and run off the field lifting his jersey showing a shirt that reads “I’M BACK”. Can’t wait! 2 Quote

Should be interesting to see how it plays out 1 Quote
AJS Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 This needs to be a clean, decisive win. Get your confidence back type of game. 4 Quote

shep Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Based on the fact that it’s a yearly thing, we should have some stats that reflect whether there’s an impact on attendance. I’m guessing there is but too lazy to look Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 Biggest effect in terms of attendance is what UND did (and largely didn’t do) the last two games which ended in blow out losses. People want to watch a winner. With all that said, the biggest boost is still ahead: beat Western Illinois, and then beat NDSU. People care about UND-NDSU matchup head to head and who wins, even the lay person / average fans of college football in the state. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 So will the team whip out the infamous grey helmets for this game or same them for the Bison game a week later? Either way, I hope they pair them with their current grey pants and a throwback jersey like they used to have. 2 Quote

I would sure hope so unless we are saving them for the new nickel trophy debut game…. seriously why not bring back the nickel with a hawk on one side and a buffalo on the other. We’ve waited too long Quote
