UND post-game thoughts.

[Bison 4 Life]

Well, none of my dire predictions came true. Where are the whiny GFH new stories calling NDSU fans racists because the student section chanted "Sioux suck shit?" Doesn't sound like Heitkamp has gone down that road either. What the heck? Has the world gone crazy?

BTW, I heard the Doc on 740... the worst I can say is that, like many UND folks, he just doesn't have much understanding of the realities of DI. For example, we aren't going to be able to reform the NCC as a brand new DI conference - and wouldn't want to even if we could. He also seemed to think that UNI might leave the Missouri Valley to join the new NCC. More encouragingly, I thought that he was saying that NDSU should be compensated for scheduling UND... either by getting more of the gate or by a fat check from the state.

Pinto nailed it: The answer for UND is joining the MVFC/Summit. That said, if the SAT had a section called "Going DI", UND would get every answer in it wrong, including the part where they have to fill in their name (obviously) so I suspect that UND will cling to idea that the Big Sky is awesome for them just as desperately as they cling to their other delusions.

Finally, Jack was off on the stadium location... build that big stadium in Fargo on the condition that NDSU schedule UND every year. Now that's a plan that NDSU folks could get behind.

You know? I wouldn't hate it if the state gave us a half million for every time we had to go to GF. I could get behind that.

I was there last week. 1/2 million aint enough.
These people like the good doctor live in the past (seems to be a ND malady). Its never the same as you thought. Why not move forward and enjoy the fun you had.

Oh come on. That would be delicious. "Yeah, we'll play you but only if your dad pays us."

Gawd, Izzy, how do you come with lines like this ? I bet your wife writes your material for you; if she does, she's funny !!! I, for one, hope the Bison don't see the inside of that shed in GF for a long time......... like the next decade or later.

We need a better running game if we plan to win the Valley and go deep in POs.

Need to do a better job picking up pressure on the line. Remember seeing a few double teams then a Und guy would come through free.

I think we will do just fine. In the conference, we will rely more on King and Chase up the middle and the youngsters on the edge. Our rushing stats look more skewed right now because Anderson and Dunn took a lot of carries up the middle against un_, for example, which isn't their game. If the game was closer, King would have been out there eating 5+ YPC between the tackles. King is more like a pinball who just runs straight ahead through the hole and bounces off guys until they gang tackle him. Anderson and Dunn need more space to use their quickness. Chase just needs the ball wherever and he eats up yards. The second half against un_ was just pounding the ball with guys who aren't your normal pounders. Defenses won't be able to stack the middle so much when the games are tighter and Dunn and Anderson can burn the edges. un_ sold out to stop the inside run and we were perfectly happy just giving it to them and burning time.

Hey CAS, Does it seem like we've gotten away from drive blocking? Seems like we either try to zone block or pull both guards which is really slow to develop

I'll believe all of this when I see it. Understand what you are suggesting but, meh, not seeing it happen as of now.

Also, the who got way (+100?) more positive yards than the 61 credited with. TFL and sacks count as negative. I'd venture a guess they had 200+ positive yards. That's too much IMO.
