I think we got one of the beast matchups we could get.  New season boys take all the losses and use them as motivation.

They got a message board?

Did BJ Flemming play again yesterday after that missed end zone pass?

I’m curious as to Ziebarth’s availability.

if we have both of them available, plus more Deng Deng, we are in good shape.

I don't remember seeing Fleming play again after being hurt in end zone. And not sure on Ziebarth but was dressed which was a good sign

[Cratter]

I like we get to play the underdog role again now.

Fleming didn’t play again. Deng looked good in his absence though 

[Dustin]

No Big Sky or MVFC teams until the semifinals. No excuses!!

Ya well Deng should have been playing more all yr. N can just throw up a jump ball to him and no defender woukd be able to out jump him.

Doesn’t appear that Tech played any other playoff teams this season?

Good record, for sure, but their strength of schedule was nowhere near ours. We just gotta play to our level and not the opponent’s.

UND plays a 11 and 1 team. Does that scare anyone? In the past I would have said its an automatic loss, but UND has shown they can play with teams on the road this year. I am just happy they get another opportunity to hit the turf.

Do not believe so. Their strength of schedule was way less than UND’s.

Tenn Tech 11-1 but their strength of schedule was no where near as tough as UND’s.
