The Return of the Monster

[bigmrg74]

Well, another week here if everything goes well for the both of us, there should be another edition of Lakers Vs. Sioux. Good luck to you guys against the Red Mavericks and I'm pretty sure GVSU can handle that school in Vermillion.

I went to the USD at Northwood game, and well, I still think Northwood should have won that game. The Coyotes played a sloppy game, soft coverage on defense, high tackles, stupid penalties, and I'm not that sold on that QB they have there. Looks like to me that he just locks onto a receiver, just trys to chuck it deep, and doesn't make any reads to hit a WR on the sidelines for an easy fresh set of downs. You're not going to go deep in the playoffs by doing that.

well...they haven't been in the playoffs in 20 years so I'd give them a couple points for being nervous...you guys gotta hope you don't see a rerun of the old Sci-Fi flick "LOGANS Run"

(PS - I've personally rooting for "SIOUX/LAKERS V" - Let's settle this thing before we leave DII )

You certainly wouldn't think USD has any weakness according to some posters. Have a little success and now they are the team of the century! Your assessment is right on regarding the QB. He has a lot of talent but does lock into receivers quite often, when he rolls out of the pocket he does a much better job of reading coverage. Shephard is the guy however that is the one that will beat you (not that I think he will), Logan will get his yards. I do think that the Lakers are too fundamentally sound in their containment to only let Logan to get about 100 in the game. I hope McFadden goes nuts on Shephard all day long. If that happens it is pretty much game over. I really hope it is Sioux/Lakers V! I predict it will be GV 35 - USD 14. Good Luck GVSU!

Monster, looking forward to another matchup. Last year, security directed us to tailgating area which consisted of NOBODY else. Can you give directions to the real tailgating area? Any Sioux fans making the trip?

well, last year we had the problem of being up against the Michigan-Ohio St. game. Even though they where out of the national title hunt at the time, lots of people would have rathered sat at home to watch that on TV than to show up for a GVSU game. Thats why GVSU went to night games in the regular season, so we don't have that much conflict.

And well, yesterday, turnout for students was sickening. Had it farely decent turnout for the home side, and a tip of the hat to the USD fans for how well they traveled, but frankly, a lot of us was disappointed as to how many students came back for the game. Housing doesn't charge extra to stay over the break or to come back early, and I'm sure their moms could have given them a bunch of leftovers in those disposeable tubberwear containers to eat because all the eating options on campus were closed.

Oh well, turn out should be a lot better this weekend. Everybody is back on campus, Hunting season is winding down for us, and other than some whiners about the weather, we should be back up to making it look respectable for us. It probably won't have the gate breaking attendence this matchup deserves, but eh, always seems to be the nature of the beast this time of year isn't it?

Not bad for a score prediction. Final score 35-17. Logan will get about 100 yards (actually got 93). McFadden has another solid day. And it will be Sioux/Lakers V.

I will have to make my prediction for this one later!

I'd pat you on the back but you seem to have done it pretty well yourself

Oh yeah, you guys might want to keep ZBJ away from his facebook for the rest of the week.

Has he put his mouth in overdrive again?

a bit I think, however, it doesn't help him any when there's a group there thats out to poke members of the other team. Oh, Groeschl as well I believe.

What has been said?

[dlsiouxfan]

I strongly advise moderator to pull this thread, if some GV fans are so classless as to choose to try and harass UND players in their personal lives I see no reason for us to call attention to it on this board.

[bigmrg74]

Just letting you guys know, I'm only a member of the said group, but I don't do any of the poking and harrassing. I only know what they've said on their little MB there. I perfer to only raise hell amoung other fans, not the players.

[dlsiouxfan]

BigmrG, my above statement was not meant in any way to implicate you. You seem to be really classy, knowledgeable fan. I do think what they are doing is crossing a line, however. Yell whatever you want at our players on Saturdays but away from the field I think it's best if fans just let the guys be.

[FlorenceFan]

Mattster,

What the hell is a tourche? is that like a flaming douche?

Safe travels to UND fans headed to GV, and we hope for a great game between GV/UND with no injuries in the not-so-sunny south.

Most of the students tailgate in the lot (I think C) by the field house. Most of the alumni and gvfootball folks tailgate in the irwin lot, which is a "donation" lot you can pay for with season tickets. You can still go in there to visit, just can't park. Frankenstein and the rest of us are usually in the Irwin lot. It is past the tennis courts, before the entrance to the stadium, next to the practice field. Matt could probably post a map, he loves creating links. Stop by and say hello, same goes for the rest of you guys.

You do know you're still on my list for not coming up to me and saying, "My name is Sioux! How do you do??" That, and I had a beer waiting for ya in my pocket.
