What did you expect him to say, "I tottaly believe we're going to go out there and lose" come on you're better than that

Coach Tavani's whole quote: "They're trying to stop giggling after looking at last year's film on us," Tavani quipped of NDSU. "That's just as well. We're going out there to win; people give us very little chance, even around our own campus, and that's the way we like it. I totally believe we're going to go out there and upset those people and start the season the right way."


Is that bulletin board material?

I think we are making fun at the reference to the Bison as "those people".

It would be a stretch to make that very motivating.

His comments and approach as described by his local news source are exactly what a good coach in his position needs to do. Build confidence and get the kids to take responsibility for game execution.

Most on this board are taking a similar approach with the Bison as victors. We expect a much tougher game than the won lost records would indicate and are showing our confidence in the Bison. I don't see the coaches looking past this game like Kansas did last year or like the Bison apparently did against UNI following the Kansas game.

A team should believe they will win the game. A team has to have that mentality.

Agreed.
