To be honest, even though UND has played a couple teams that are not good the past two weeks, they have been able to get the offense going a little bit which leads to confidence as the season goes on. I know you guys like to think that UND is terrible, but like the Bison most of their talent is young and they are gaining valuable experience this year. Also, it should be noted that Northern Illinois, who UND could have beat on the last play (I know they didn't, and I don't care for moral victories), really took it to the Gophers this weekend, which helps gage a little about where UND may stack up against USD. I don't understand why it's so far fetched for Sioux fans to think that we can beat USD.......
Sounds like the Bison have been fairly inconsistent on the offensive side of the ball, although once they get going they have put up some points in bunches. However, they never really got going against the two good defenses they have faced, but Jensen didn't play in either of those so who knows how that could have changed the dynamic. Defense has been pretty tough, which has been mentioned multiple times is such a significant change from last year. With the MVFC seemingly turned on its head this year, the Bison could make a good run if things fall into place nicely. Should be an interesting year.
But, with seemingly every thread turning into Sioux bashing, its hard for us that aren't filled with complete hatred to bear coming here to see how things are going for NDSU. This is a great place to see what's going on, but there's no filter for me to get rid of all the anti-UND crap that finds its way to every thread. So, I think I'm going to take a break for a while from here. And I'm not whining and I would expect some ribbing and smack, but it's gotten JBB bad at times and I just wanted to speak my mind on the matter (even though I'm sure nobody really gives a shit what I think). So, I just want to wish the Bison good luck the rest of the year, and I actually do hope that you guys can make a push for the playoffs. I thought that you were probably a year away from really making some noise (which may still be true) but good things could happen this year.
And I know - don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, right.
