SiouxMeNow Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 WOW! Fun game to watch on ESPN!!! (vs. UConn)...way to go Knights!!!! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS!! GO FIGHTING SIOUX!! Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Never in doubt One of our local sportswriters who always goes out of his way to be negative now says that we "are lightning in a bottle"--we now find ways to win games when we aren't having a good game instead of finding ways to lose like we would in the past. The Louisville game is going to be very tough,but I can't believe we are 8-0. GO NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX! GO RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS! Quote

redwing77 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 JFR- Watched some of the game. You guys best shore up that special teams play. UCONN got several great runbacks on the kickoffs (even though one was brought back on a holding call). Your D was very good. UCONN would move the ball ok and then 3rd down would come and they'd cough it up. Nice. Next up, Louisville. And Louisville isn't going to cough it up as much as UConn. Good luck. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Rutgers is one of the reasons I would love to see a playoff system in I-A football. I don't think the Scarlet Knights would win the national title, but I think they could give some of the big boys a run for their money or even pull off an upset. But I've already ranted about this in another thread, so I will leave that whole topic alone. Quote

They did block a punt for a touchdown. Quote
redwing77 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 They did block a punt for a touchdown. Hmmm... true... but They gave up considerable yardage on kickoff returns as well. I mean, don't get me wrong, kickoff returns only happen at the beginning of the game, the beginning of the 2nd half, and whenever a team scores, so as long as RU is scoring I guess it makes less difference (especially if RU gets the ball back on a turnover 3 downs later), but big special teams plays can make or break the team.

JESUS,family,rutgers Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 We have to play well in all aspects,including special teams, to beat Louisville. If we play like we did against Pittsburgh we have a very good chance at winning. If we play like we did against Connecticut, we will lose. All I can say is that we are light years from where the team was a few years ago. Just four seasons ago, we lost to West Virginia 80-7! The Mountaineers scored in every conceivable way that day,including numerous special teams debacles. Quote

Rumor had it by the 4th Quarter, they were taking people out of the stands to play the game! Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Redwing77, who were the teams? Just wondering, thanks. Well, Louisville won tonight pretty convincingly. Next week should be a good game. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Louisville's offense looked GREAT! It is going to be very difficult to beat them. I was glad to see almost the entire halftime spent interviewing Coach Schiano. A university can rarely get this much exposure. One of the local papers estimated Rutgers has received about $16 million of free publicity since Labor Day and that was before this past week. November 9 will be the biggest crowd ever at Rutgers Stadium and another ESPN game--everyone around here is just counting down the days. GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS! Quote

Gosh, it was a game that took place in 1997. I don't remember the opponent but the school I was at (the one that lost) was Northland Community and Technical College of Thief River Falls, MN. No offense to those from TRF or Michael Forney, but living in TRF was 2 of the worst years of my life. Quote

JFR- Louisville looked not just good, but dominant. It already is making me nervous for Rutgers. Quote
SirHinn Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 JFR- Louisville looked not just good, but dominant. It already is making me nervous for Rutgers. Brian Brohm is certainly a force to be reckoned with. He seems to be one of those quarterbacks such as the Manning brothers who just absolutely pick defenses apart. It'll certainly be a spectacle to watch, that much is for sure. Quote
RedFrog Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 In my 1 and only year, the 93-94 season at Mayville State, we lost to Wayne State (Div-II) in Mayville that year 94-12. It was 55-12 at half time, the only reason people were around at the end was to see if they'd hit 100. I remember coach talking about how we were the first team that year to put up 12 points on them in the 1st half, no one else had been able to get that many. I believe they just missed the DII playoffs that year, not sure though. Quote
katohtr Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 JFR-- Good luck tomorrow night. I'll be pulling for your Scarlet Knights! Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks Sioux fans! Tonight is the night--win or lose it has been a lot of fun around here this season. I never thought I would see New York City jumping on the Rutgers bandwagon. Check this out----My Webpage Quote

I never thought I would see New York City jumping on the Rutgers bandwagon. Check this out----My Webpage If you click on the esb site at the bottom, and then the lighting schedule on the left side of that page, it has November 9, red, GO RUTGERS!! Awesome, JFR. My daughter has a basketball game at 6:30, but I will check on the football game afterwards. Maybe I can find it on Sirius (sp) radio, while I'm driving back to Thompson. GO RUTGERS!!! Quote
ihatethegophers Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 TD Rutgers! after an interception, to tie the game 7-7 in the first quarter Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 Rutgers making a nice comeback in the 3rd...now Rutgers - 22 Louisville - 25 AND I think I spotted JF&R in the crowd! He was wearing red... Quote
dakotadan Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Rutgers looks like a completely different team in the second half. The way they are playing, they deserve to win this game. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 25-25 midway in the 4th... GO SCARLET KNIGHTS!!! Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 WOW...Rutgers missed a 33 yarder for the lead but Louisville was offside....DO OVER! Quote
