In a bold move, SIU is going with unconditional surrender white uniforms.

Also, when I was looking through the ISU-Blue game info, their TE converted a 4th down on a long run. That TE is named Aidan Quinn. Why do I even mention this? So glad that I'm imagining you asked! I have absolutely got to be related to this guy because he looks so much like my uncle who ripped the entire front wall off a roadhouse in Illinois back in the 1970s* when he was 40 or so after getting banned for life (later rescinded.) The uncle in question once told a doctor that he would do something unspeakable if they amputated his leg after an industrial accident (amputation was cheaper than rehab):

Anyway, every Bison game I pick an opposing player to root for... guess who it is this week.
* He had help from a couple friends (one who was named Bear) and a truck.
Looking at his picture...is 41 his jersey number or his age?Quote:

Those should be close games.
They don't play SDSU - that's the only MVFC opponent either miss this year (Murray St misses NDSU :)).Quote:

I think the UND/SIU matchup in Carbondale this weekend will be a pretty good indicator as to whom the #3 team in the Valley is this year.Quote:

I'm still not 100% convinced that sdsu is #2, and we are pretty deep into the season to still be wondering about that.Quote:

Where ndsu has overwhelmed my expectations on offense, SDSU has massively underwhelmed. I'm not sure that necessarily means they aren't the 2nd best team in the valley, but they seem to be quite a bit worse than they were under either of the past 2 head coaches.
I think its quite possible UND is better than SDSU. On offense for sure.
They won't play this year, but sdsu vs siu would probably be a pretty good game.
I'm feeling the same way about SDSU. Their defense is legit but their offense is questionable. They've looked good at times and pretty bad at others. Would have liked to see them play a team we've played before we play them but not going to happen.Quote:

While I also have some defensive concerns... Both teams get a say. In the past two weeks we've had teams come in clearly schemed up to move the ball and try to limit our offensive touches - and be successful.
And if this was three years ago I think we might lose those games. Instead the team played tough, the offense got right, and the defense *made adjustments at halftime that worked* and we murdered them. If the 1s had stayed in on D they wouldn't have scored that garbage time TD.
I want to see them come out and out play the trees in epic fashion this year - but from all Metics NDSU is the dominant number 1 team at the moment.
Tests still remain. But if the take back the first half and keep making good adjustments at half... They will run the table.
