    Yes, that is the word for it.

    I remember the FCS championship we played them and getting a text from my dad saying "they look chunky."

    After the JSU championship game, I chatted with a few JSU fans at Tight Ends. They were "flab"bergasted at our DLine. "Damn, those guys are big, but there ain't no fat on 'em".

    JSU won't be that good, but their schedule is pathetic and they probably will still get a high seed.

    I watched the first several minutes and there were a few blatant personal fouls that made JSU look bad.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    I want NDSU to play Alabama. Wow, Alabama sure picks some loser FCS teams to kick around. Don't understand why, but last night ESPNU was rebroadcasting the Alabama - Mercer game from the end of last season. Alabama won 56-0. Why would they even show that game again?

    It would be nice to see how we stack up against "the best." I honestly have no idea what to expect in a game against an opponent like that.

    Oregon is on the upswing, if I'm reading the news correctly. Hopefully they're T25 rated when we play them in 2020.

    There's only been two times since they established themselves in D1 that I expected NDSU to get hammered and lose by 3 scores or more; against Minnesota in 2006 and against Iowa in 2016. Both times they greatly exceeded my expectations. I'd expect them to lose by 20-30 points to Bama so.... maybe there's a chance..... [insert Lloyd Christmas image here]

    I think there is a chance we would lose by less than 20-30.
