Just had to mention that I beleive UNI is a talanted team, despite their unlikable coach, and probably among the 10 best in the FCS. Please don't neg rep me for saying that cause it does hurt a little to say it.:)Quote:

We don't need guesses. We need more TD's and less injuries. I bet those YSU boys can't sleep right now.. like me!Quote:

Well, a bunch of jumping around now that things are well-connected, and not much of it great for the MVFC. Obviously NDSU stays head, shoulders, knees and toes over the rest of the FCS, and UNI(#6) manages to stay in the top-10 with their tough schedule, but YSU(#11) drops just out after their piss-pounding. Laughingly, it appears the Bison under-performed at Colorado State and over-performed just a bit on Sat. With the lousy way some of the Valley performed this weekend, our conference lead over the Colonial has almost evaporated. The top of the Big Sky looks good with three teams in the top-10, but the rest of the conference lets them down and puts them as the weakest of the big four. As for the rest of the schedule, it looks like three TD wins at least on paper from here on out, with Illinois State being the only exception to close the season. Wild.
