We have a little under 6 hours left in sunday.....after that, its just another win in the Alerus.  Can't look back, only forward ! all eyes on UNI!  No let downs, no let up, keep rolling next week, and see what the rest of the year brings

Hot Mic, FCS Football Talk, and FCS Fans Nation will be interesting tomorrow.

If you need a good laugh there are some great threads going over on anygivensaturday.com It's definitely worth a look! I actually laughed out loud a couple different times.

Some pretty good comments here

I watched it this afternoon.  Almost as fun as seeing it in person the first time.  Not as much stress.

UNI is a good team at home. Hopefully the players turned the page today, because that will be an extremely tough game 

[UND Football Fan]

I do find it funny when some of their fans complained that our fans rushed the field. Don’t they (fans that complained) watch college football, when teams beat a higher ranked team or have not beaten a team in a long while fans do that. Coach Prime’s win over TCU, or yesterday Oregon missed FG and Washington fans rushed the field. That’s the excitement of college football! 
 

Only complaint I would agree with is flashing horns down in front of their player would be unsportsmanlike and 15 yards, but did not affect the outcome of the game.

Less than two hours and focus on UNI. Coaches will be focused, players need be focus and realize UNI season is on the line this week and they will not quit especially at home.

I am still trying to figure out how 22 D2 recruits beat up on 22 blue chip, FBS/FCS level guys with tons of offers?  Somebody help me out!   Bison Dan?

As UND 360 has said, if you are not appreciating what we have in QB Tommy you are misguided. While he may not win many awards he brings so many intangibles to the team. He is a winner and with our O line starting to develop combined with the play calling, UND is back in the top 10 and the best team in the state. Enjoy him while you can.

No interceptions this year. UNI's Theo Day has 8TD's and 8 interceptions.

We revel in the glorious history of the “Mooney” game that ended the long 80/90’s winless streak to NDAC. I wonder how last Saturday will be remembered?  

“The                   game.”

A. Skokna

B. Ziebarth

C. Siegel INT (The Dagger)

D. The Re-emergence of the hogs 

E. None of the above (fill in your own)

Honestly,  the hogs.  We ran it down their throat. Out rushing the Bison was such a joy to watch.  Ave. 5.5 per carry.

[Dustin]

I personally like the “Skokna game.”  Had 3 touchdowns including the kickoff return to set the tone. Gave the  “horns down” right the face of a Bison defender in the end zone. Talked about wanting to rehab his injury so he could beat these guys. I mentioned earlier how happy I am for Tommy and Bubba, and i should have mentioned Skokna too. 

[CMSioux]

If indeed we are witnessing the return of our Oline then I vote "The Oline game". 

[Nodak78]

So many plays made a difference.  This was inspiring.

Kick return

Block punt.

3 and out for the Bizon.

4 down and not making it.

Win the turnover battle with CJ interception.

Fault start and sacks.

Amazing play.  Now do this on the road.

[The Sicatoka]

I'll admit I was crimped up pretty hard at 21-17. 

I still say the drive to run out the half clock and go up 28-17 is vastly underappreciated in its psychological importance. Coming out after half and stopping their drive (int) and then scoring was how I'd have written the script. 

One more: Late in third on NDSU 43, 4th and 1, and NDSU is called offsides ... first down UND. It was 35-17 at the time and UND had just been stuffed on 3rd and 1. A few plays later Belquist makes it 42-17 and radio (Jack Michaels) whispers the word "dagger".

Well, we are now at this point. Move forward, ride the momentum. Go 1-0 each week. Beat UNI. Go Hawks!

Agreed, this will be tough. So much of this is mental preparation and fortitude. Maybe have Dale Lennon speak to the team again? 
 

All I can say is if the same team we saw on Saturday shows up mentally the same way in Cedar Falls, IA, then UND will be in good shape. But, we all know UND football has been different (in not a good way) outside of the Alerus Center.

The intangibles of football are such a beautiful thing.

UNI will not be in a good mood.

I agree, they already have 3 losses and will be playing for their playoff lives.  Time to move past the Bison game and onto UNI.  I am a bit worried about this game after the huge emotional win on Saturday.
