    That is good. Great humor. I think it will slowly happen. UND fans will start to realize how inferior the Big Sky competition is when compared to the week to week grind of the Valley. There are no easy wins in the Missouri Valley. A team like USD can beat you. Will be entertaining every week. I think SDSU is overrated personally right now. THey are loaded on offense, but can they stop anyone? I think they slip up looking at some press clippings.
    Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.

    That's because UND didn't beat anyone good, and no, SDSU wasn't the best team in the MVFC last year - the playoffs proved that last season.

    To reprove my point about UND not beating anyone good, I'll repost my point that UND couldn't "hypothetically" beat EWU last year from another thread:

    Not sure what "data" you can provide that would show that UND could play with EWU, let alone win.
    You f'hawkers can talk all you want about beating the top so and so teams in your conference, but when those so and so teams are still terrible (according to Massey), you're not helping the Big Sky Conference as being a tough conference last year. Maybe that's why the absolute best team in the Big Sky Conference lost to the third best MFVC team at home in the playoffs last year.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    The fawkers lost to friggin Stony Brook, Bowling Green and Richmonds backups last year. Think about that, they fricking lost to a bunch of second stringers!

    This mythical 2017 PO matchup is never going to happen. Big undies and the rest of you fawkers can go back to the HYB and continue pining away for Grady to come back. I always....

    And how does SDSU/CalPoly have anything to do UND not beating anyone good? At least mine referenced the only team UND played that won a playoff game.

    some how, NDSU loses the same amount in 2016 as they did in 2015 and they're considered a slip...UND goes from 4 wins to 7 wins to 8 wins and theyre taking over position battles vs NDSU?

    NDSU is regarded as a top 40 program in the country. Probably would be higher if they had scholarships to play with.

    UND is probably about 140. Maybe lower since their Cinderella run last year to a first round bye and losing at home to a shitty Richmond team.

    Nobody has ever heard of your DT's. Or is anybody jealous of them and how they plug 2 gaps. Good job, theyre fat.

    You see, Cal Poly was a good team, better than the MVFC champs. They just couldn't handle the every week grind of the Big Sky

    I look forward to these yearly installments. Maybe the big und is being funny, or maybe he's being serious. Either way, I like the side by side analysis. And he's right - RJ peaked early on in his college career (I'm thinking his best game was against ISUr in the National Championship game), and UND's backfield does look pretty impressive. I do wish JJ had come to NDSU, if no other reason than to keep that Fargo crowd undivided.

    His analysis wouldn't matter except that our defense looked lost against JMU, and we lost the 4th quarter for the first time in 5 years. But still hopefully come December, UND will be matched up with SDSU with the winner playing a Big Sky team.
