NDSU win 34-13.
Just opened Pandora's box. There is a reason no one was creating this thread. Oh well.
Bison 37 - UND 10
38-14

Please change the order of teams in this thread name. I can't stand looking at it.
I was thinking it would be close but after UND's performance yesterday I'm thinking a very comfortable win with people bitching that the students leave in droves after halftime.
On topic, Wyoming is the worst team in the FBS, and UND almost lost to a non scholarship team yesterday. 42-10

Think about this. As much as we hate the abysmal production that KVLY puts on and their terrible choices for color commentator. They do one have advantage.
No chance of Pat's Weenie getting into the booth for this game.
I want the first string to stomp them into a puddle and the second string to walk it dry.
I'm just going to assume that UND ran extra plain vanilla against Drake in order not to give NDSU any useful film.
There is no doubt in my mind that there is some validity to this theory.
Any given Saturday. The Herd will not take this game lightly. Too much at stake. Chess and football collide all of the time..........I'm nervous about this game but NOT because of our program's ability to prepare correctly.
Think they'll pick this game on gameday?
And NDSU has a defensive and offensive philosophy that is basically the same as Wyoming - the present NDSU coaching staff inherited this from the coaches who are now at Wyoming. NDSU is probably a better football team, but a W or a L also depends on how a teams weaknesses line up against the other schools strengths. Sometimes the overall weaker team wins because of the matchups.
p.s. Enjoy the other posts downplaying this game. Even Phil Hanson on the radio the other day said something (apparently) about how fans make this intra-state game huge while the players do not. I've been jumped on for saying this is just another game for the Bison, but I still feel this way.
Lot of folks here hootiin and hollerin how this game is a easy game don't realize UND is looking more hungry and their coach is a MVF coach. This will be a tough game #35 better be ready, they are gonna come after him
Let's not get crazy here. Sure un_ is 2-0, but they haven't played anyone yet. They look like they are headed in the right direction, but they are still in the Weber State and below USD part of FCS. The Bison are still a title contender looking for 5 in a row. I have no doubt the Bison coaching staff will have the players ready to go but as a fan, I can say this 8 days a week, these teams are no where near each other. This game will not be close. I don't care if un_ has spent the last two years game planning for this game, they don't have enough juice yet to make this a game as long as the Bison simply execute and take care of business on the field. I don't care about any given Saturday. un_ has to have the absolute perfect storm against a team who is perfectly willing to break a game down to every play. It has happened to rarely where the opponent has put together the perfect storm and had the talent to close it out. This will not be one of those games. un_ does not have the talent throughout their roster to have the 48 things that have to happen simultaneously happen for them to pull this off.
My only fear in this game is that some Bison fans stain the professionalism we have established as being one of the top fanbases in college football. As a NDSU alum and Bison fan, I want nothing more than our fan reaction being no different than hosting any other opponent in the Fargodome. Be loud, be excited, but be respectful to Bison pride. un_ has done nothing to deserve any special treatment.
What will be more competitive, the game or the look a like threads?
I'm leaving Thursday. Getting the hell out of this state before the shit hits the fan. I'll go get drunk and make an ass of myself somewhere else. Yes you suck shit.
This will be the first NDSU/UND game I will have seen.
For what it's worth I would say outside of 2013 he did a nice job against NDSU: Although they only beat NDSU once in his tenure.
