JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 7-0--------What a great season Fighting Sioux fans. Do you see the team going undefeated? What remaining team in the regular season presents the biggest obstacle? The last undefeated team at Rutgers was in 1976 and even though I was a kid, I remember the great feeling each week as we kept winning. GO SCARLET KNIGHT! GO FIGHTING SIOUX! Quote
mksioux Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 As Dale Lennon said after the game - "The most difficult part of the season is still in front of us. We haven't done anything yet." (paraphrasing) 3 out of the next 4 games are on the road against NCC opponents. Quote
dj_hoime Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 I dont think we've seen anything yet, next week will be a good game. GO SIOUX!!!!! Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 ....... Do you see the team going undefeated? What remaining team in the regular season presents the biggest obstacle? ...... Anything can happen in the NCC, so I hate to speculate. With UNO losing another conference game today, I think it proves that UM-Duluth may be for real. I know the have good leadership in Bubba. I think anything could happen in the final 4 games, but Duluth and South Dakota scare me the most as both games are on the road. The whooping that USD put on UNO was pretty impressive. UMD has been impressive today and also against a pretty decent Concordia-St. Paul team. I think they should crack the top 25 this week. I'll be watching closely to see how these two teams do against each other, before we play USD, and also how USD does next week against SCSU. But I'll be watching even closer as to how we do against UMD next week. This will be the biggest game of the season to date, and it is on the road. Quote

Omaha's defense is horrible, and with Denney out and Day severely hobbled, their offense is not particularly strong, either. A lot of pressure will be on Duluth's freshman quarterback to produce, because they won't be able to run the ball at all against the Sioux. They couldn't run the ball today, and Omaha's defense is not even close to UND's. I'm glad Duluth won, but in all honesty, with UNO's injury situation, the Omaha team Duluth beat by 3 in Duluth would likely have been beaten by about 28 had they played the Sioux at the Alerus today. It will be a tough game next Saturday, but a game UND should definitely win if they play the way they have through the first seven games. Duluth is not as good as St. Cloud State, in my opinion.

I agree completely. My biggest concerns with Duluth is that 1)They are much improved from last year; 2)Bubba knows our team as he is only one and a half seasons removed from it; 3)It is on the road, remember our road games last year against Augie, SCSU, and UNO? I worry that UND is just a totally different team on the road, especially in conference play, hence my concerns about Duluth and USD. I think the match-up between UND's defense and USD's offense should be quite a battle to watch. I must admit though, that when the schedule was released last spring, I was far more concerned about UNO in GF than I was about Duluth or South Dakota on the road. To use an old cliche, I guess that's why they play the games. Quote
b2k Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Without a doubt!!!!! National Championship here we come!!!!!!!! Quote
wenz51 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The Sioux have a bunch of good games coming up. This weekend they face a UMD team that is soon to be a continually good team in the NCC. Bubba will have them ready to play. Then Mankato is not a great team but yet they have in the past given us good games down in Mankato. UNO is a team that we seem to have problems with. It's a good thing we have them here at the Al. I am curious to see if the injuries have really hurt them or are they just having a down year. And then what I think will be the game that decides who is number 1 in the region going into the playoffs and who wins the NCC. USD has proven that there offense can put up points, and up until last week their defense didn't have to worry about much. I don't know whether or not they have the complete team we do, but they have a talented team and could give us our best game of the year. Sioux end up winning it all going undefeated for the first time. What a year. Sioux national champs once again. Quote
iceberg Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 simple word....no Duluth will give them a helluva run Saturday Quote
Jack Mickleson Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 simple word....no Duluth will give them a helluva run Saturday <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They will beat them. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 They will beat them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too....many.....pronouns...... Quote
beersong Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The Dogs will need UND to turn the ball over at least 4 times to have a shot at pulling the upset. A special teams or defensive touchdown or two by tUMD would also greatly improve their chances. I just don't see tUMD keeping it close, especially if the weather grounds their passing game. Quote

BigGreyAnt41 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Does anyone know what the weather is going to be like this weekend at gametime? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> weather.com is showing partly cloudy, high of 52 with 20% chance of precip. Should be nice. Quote
abcdgosioux Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 weather.com is showing partly cloudy, high of 52 with 20% chance of precip. Should be nice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not as nice as Florida, but we will take it Quote
sucka Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Wouldn't know about that yet, just got 12 inches of snow at my parents house in Denver. I think I could use some 85 and sunny. Sounds like the weather this weekend will favor a passing game. Hope UND can shut down the UMD pass. Quote
BBK Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Without a doubt!!!!! National Championship here we come!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't believe you would look into the future that far bk, you should be looked at by the forum web master and your posts should be deleted. Would someone please check this guy out. I can't believe you are even thinking of a national championship this far in the season. Someone please take evassive action and oust him from the forums. P.S. any predictions for the USD game? Quote
dj_hoime Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 weather.com is showing partly cloudy, high of 52 with 20% chance of precip. Should be nice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perfect football weather Quote
mountainman Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I definately think they have a great chance of going unbeaten. That would be awesome!! Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 Still undefeated Fighting Sioux---what a great season!!! GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS! Quote
Wilbur Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 UND has a pretty good football team, but these next two weeks will probably show if the team has the necessary character to go unbeaten and win a national championship. Nebraska Omaha is always tough on us, but I think with the home crowd UND should pull out a win. The final game at South Dakota will undoubtedly be the toughest game of the year. On the road, great offensive football team, for most likely the outright conference championship.....that ought to be a thriller....wish I could go. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Records(I hope) as of Saturday 7:00 eastern/ 6:00 central---- North Dakota 10-0-------Spending November and December in the NCAA's! Rutgers 6-2-------Spending December in Charlotte, Jacksonville, or Phoenix! Quote
jimdahl Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Fun facts from UND's press release: The 2005 Fighting Sioux are aiming to become the first team in school history to win its first 10 games of the season. With a 9-0 record heading into this week Quote
