UNI is sitting there at #3 in FCS yet they have no DI wins yet. Not sure I would want to be in their shoes having to take 7 of 8 MVFC wins to make the post-season.

Especially when they go to YSU next week missing two Starting LB's, then we go there the following week, no rest between big games

We could potentially knock UNI out of the playoffs in week 5 of the season, just think how sweet that would be.

That would be awesome

If NDSU wins that game, and UNI then misses playoffs and has a largely great year outside of this, I think the AD and the President at UNI should have their heads on the chopping block for what they did to that team. Better to resign with honor, than be responsible for crapping on your own athletes due to money woes.

How can UNI even keep their coach with such terrible support?

If they only miss by one victory, it's a little more difficult to crap on the AD and coach, as Savanah State backed out very late to play FSU, which left UNI with limited possibilities and a DII game. But I will agree both Wisco and Iowa wasn't the best move.

UNI is in a much different situation than we are. They have Iowa and Iowa State to contend with for their fan base.

Hambone made an excellent point and I had forgotten the Savanah State angle (even with all the terrible ESPN coverage). With that said, they still scheduled those two FBS big 10 games, and largely boxed themselves in. Perhaps they should have taken a "bullet" and offered to travel for an FCS guarantee game (if a bigger money team open), or better yet, travel for a home and home with an FCS team. I wonder if they even entertained axing a home game? (Would have loved how they would have had to spin that.)

We need to storm their field if this happens.

I'd rather act like we expected to win.

We do, which is why we're planning on storming their field.
