I like the take but doubt it. UND has good tailgating but SDSU has great tailgating. I was at SU tailgating three years ago and it was bigger than UNDs. UNDs is still run as an afterthought.

This take is on us being better than NDSU. No one mentioned anything about us being better than SDSU.

Power of belief goes a long way. Dale Lennon speaking to team on Friday night before the game

This was the clincher.  Just needed something to light the spark.  After that, the fire burned pure.

The trick now is to play with that fire each week. We must build on this historic victory.

Congrats to you and your team. Obviously the better team. Hopefully UND can keep it going. I hate going on Bisonville. It's like the world is ending. Absolutely love that Dale Lennon came and talked with the team and was their for the coin toss. Again, congrats on the W.

The other thing UND has over the Bison is tailgating.

Talked with 3 SU young ladies as we waited in line for the Porta Potty (why can't they bring in more??) and they told me it's so much better than at SU. Just more kids involved and better atmosphere.

Hmmmm,  since when do SU ladies wait in line for a porta potty, no sidewalks nearby, or pasture?  maybe they are evolving, good for them.

For what it’s worth, I thought the SDSU tailgating scene in Brookings this year for UND game was very mediocre. Just my opinion. They have a very very good team though.

Rewatching the game had some good moments, like every time the O had the ball in the 2nd half.

But D MUST get to the QB and tackle him because when they miss the sack it ends up with a 20 to 40 yard gain.

Minus the CJ INT, Miller was really good.

 

Just a note that a sack on the previous play created the third and long that forced the INT.  An important play that kind of slipped under the radar.

So there was the "Mooney Game" in 1993 when und broke the streak.  I know some people were trying to come up with something to call this game.  I know Ziebarth had a unreal game.  But, I think if you wanted to, you could make a case for calling in the "Skokna Game."  3 TD's which entailed a receiving TD, and rushing TD, and a kickoff TD to start the game.  That kickoff return TD will be talked about for decades!!!

for apples to apples tho........mooney and cj were defensive turnovers that pretty much sealed the game...but yes...skokna was everywhere!

[Sioux94]

The nice thing about it, the game wasn't even close because there were so many big plays......hard to come up with one to remember it by. That opening kickoff though helped ramp up the confidence that the team already had and was big. CJ's pick was the sealer and turn of events type of play though. And if course kudos to the offense for punching it in for 6 after the great return.

What happened to all the FBS talk ??

NDSU's drive to make 21-17 was eight or so minutes. That was a big part of what had me worried. 

That had me thinking the whole game. They aren’t built for quick strike. Even the turn over drive took like 6 minutes off the clock.

With the fee to move up now at $5M, is there still talk of them moving to FBS?

When this inevitably happens, UND is going to be forced to match and go up too or else risk repeating what happened from 2003-2023. 
 

With that, I find it hilarious that a school with as many financial and enrollment issues right now as NDSU can still have their sights on paying out millions to go up a division in football. Then again, many will tell you, NDSU is more a football institution than an institution of higher education. Pathetic.

Get special line item $5M bail out from Legislature for saving staff and programs. 
Turn around and spend $5M on move to FBS football.

I'd need popcorn to watch the NDSU faculty and Legislative reactions.
