NDSU vs Sundogs

*pats self on back*

So, where's the smart money? Und and the under?

It seems like a lot of the comments for not playing them are something like, "But what if we lose?" I get the attitude, but that sounds like a worthless argument to me. What happened to bring on the competition (especially because UND hasn't been that good). To me this game is a hell of a lot more relevant than a random cupcake like Incarnate Word. But I totally agree with playing a national power. But newsflash, it's probably hard to get them to come to Fargo.

Every single one of those pairs has something important in common. They are all FBS. That means a 12 game schedule every single year. NDSU plays in the FCS, which means an 11 game schedule about seven years out of ten. Because of that difference, NDSU can have an annual FBS game, six home games, or an annual game with UND; pick two of the three. For many of us, six home games plus the annual FBS game is more important than an NDSU/UND game. If FCS had 12 game schedules every year, then NDSU could have all three choices. But that's not the world we live in.

^^^This. Part of the fun of the 3 non-conference games is getting to play a different variety of teams, and the best game of the season is our FBS game. Playing un_ annually would be boring, pointless and stupid. I'd much rather play a 2nd away FBS game than play that game. Some of you want this back to bring back the old days or something. I'm sorry but we have something going better than the old days and there is nothing to be gained by playing them except giving them an opportunity to become relevant. As a Bison fan I would much rather see them stay an irrelevant dumpy program that doesn't offer recruiting competition in this area. Any program resurgence they experience would be to our detriment because this area isn't exactly a loaded recruiting hotbed. We don't need to be sharing anything with a "rival," and an annual game is nothing more than an attempt by some to make them relevant in the region. It's not ANY good for NDSU. Let them wallow and forget about them. We can do a whole lot better scheduling than that. If this game is close you will never hear the end of it in media throughout the region. I hope NDSU pulls a Boston College vs Howard on them

I liked Weber +31 a lot last week and that barely squeaked in.

If I were to bet it, I'd take UND +29.5 just because I think this has more potential to be a low scoring slugfest, but I won't bet this game as I want NDSU to win by 60 and in no way do I want any part of me to be rooting to keep it within 30.

what because the FM media is going to give a FREE PASS to all the baggage that UND and its racism brings to this game?

The hard thing for me about this game is that there is no nickel and it is a non-conference game, it takes all the edge off what it used to be.

It really seems like UND is winning by just playing it, everyone is talking about them and usually they live in obscurity since they play in a conference a thousand miles away. Really for me the only way to get satisfaction with this game is if the Bison absolutely dominate them. I am talking Moorhead State level domination, a beating so bad they don't want to play another game but that is going to be hard to pull off with a coach that understands the rivalry better than anyone on their side and his band of underdogs.

I think this game will be like the first mens basketball game but with way more energy. UND keeps it close for a while and then the Herd knocks them out in the second half. Bubba will have his team amped up but eventually the talent gap will be too much to overcome.
