Illinois State @ UND 11/18/2023

[SiouxFan100]

We need this one (and will get this one) 

I for one - along with everyone else here - am not ready for our season to end. Hopefully by winning we get in.

"Winning on the road is hard".....but UND is at home. I'd be very disappointed in a loss tomorrow.

UND 31-26

Not much buzz if this is the first thread for this game of the week

[Siouxperman8]

My season tix don’t show up for this game.  Says 0 tix in my account  anyone else having this problem?

 

[Mama Sue]

Strong on both sides of the ball from the first snap, no injuries, 3rd & 4th down play calls that keep the fan base happy (and are gutsy/ballsy/whatever), AND at least 1 QB sack per quarter…or 2 TFL.

Go SIOUX 

[AJS]

It really does feel like a win and they're in type of situation, so practically speaking, it's odd that there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm. Personally, I'm feeling it too. We'll see how it goes.

I've had this happen before. Sign out and sign back in and should hopefully fix it. At least that's what solved my issue.

Ditto (but with hockey at start of season). 

[forksandspoons]

Play a complete game and get the win! 

[MoSiouxFan]

Hopefully, Ziebarth is 100% and we can pound the rock.  Isaiah is done a very good job in his absence and finally seems to be coming into his own.  Gives us a great one-two punch, not to mention Skokna and Seidl.

[Midwestern Hawk]

Big, big game.  Its not a great matchup for us, but in the Alerus I think we get it done! 

Go Hawks!

Thanks.  That did the trick.

Actually, had to do it an hour ago to transfer a stub or two.

Looking for our 3rd quality Win.  NDSU, then I am going to count Northern AZ as a quality W. (Northern AZ beat Griz and Weber, 1 point loss to Sac St)  We might have 1 in the dumpster dive term of Quality Losses with the Coyotes.  All of our other losses are non-quality losses, or just sucked.

In hindsight the Drake win will carry some weight, as they are 7-0 in the Pioneer league and if they win on Saturday clinch a playoff spot as an auto-bid.  Win on Saturday and more than likely in the playoffs.  If NDSU wins as well, 100% in the playoffs as the loss will eliminate UNI from playoff talk and further booster our win over NDSU.  IT will be tough to cheer for NDSU, but this will guarantee our playoff chances.

We’re at home and they aren’t gonna win the national championship so we’ll win I guess.

I believe when it comes to "quality losses" the score is not that important, it is more about ranking at the time. At least for other schools.

Drake 14   

MVFC 125 (UND and SDSU) in 2 games

I gotta go with being a Big Panthers fan this weekend because NDSU will have to go on the road at some point in playoffs.

I know we are not going anywhere in the playoffs, so my silver lining is an NSDU loss.

Really?  Quality Losses are more confusing than I thought, then.

[The Sicatoka]

Quality losses are “... a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma", with apologies to Winston Churchill.

Hope to see a heavy dose of Z and Smith tomorrow and a very low dose of WR screens to the sideline

The WR screens, all 120 of them, were just setting up the deep balls that will come this week.  It was all part of the plan.........
