NDSU vs Minnesota -- Thoughts?

[speechpanther]

I think so Newsy. However, if we beat WIU and YSU, I think we have our claim back.

How about co #1's?
Why is beating a poor Gopher team any different than beating a poor Cyclone team?
We take care of business and it's a mute point.
Go Panthers! and Go Bison!

NDSU has been looking forward to this one since that game last year where they lost 10-9 on a blocked FG... I think they pull a "UNI" and soundly pound their FBS neighbor this year

I was watching a preview of that game on the BTN and all the announcers kept saying NDSU was the #1 ranked team. Are they ranked #1 in one of the polls?

I'm not a Big Ten hater like many of you. That said, I'd love to see NDSU beat Minnesota.

For those of you that remember, UNI has played Minnesota. We did so while I was in college, sometime in the late '80s (could look it up but too lazy). We lost, but it was a hell of a lot closer than most would've thought. The Gophers had a good team, including future Packer Darrell Thompson carrying the ball. I remember him having a couple of good runs, but he didn't run all over us by any means. One of our RBs dropped a screen pass and had nothing but open astroturf in front of him. Had we scored on that, I think we would've been either tied or ahead at that point, and with momentum...who knows? The RB in question will remain nameless, he was a great player and a very good guy, and to single him out for this would'nt be fair.

I think the Bison will win this one easy. The Gophers are horrible

If NDSU beats the gold goofers today, do they have the best argument for #1?

They would have 2 FBS wins this season if they beat UM....I don't think any other FCS team can say that.

[9YRPLAN]

there is no way minnesota wins this game.

[Hacksaw]

There it is NDSU wins 27-21, and looked pretty solid in doing so

[Chitown Panther]

I would say that NDSU has a better Defense than UNI and Running Game......especially power running.

I think UNI has better QB, WRs and receiving TEs.

If the Game was in CF, UNI wins....in Fargo...probably NDSU.....

Props to NDSU. Very nice win and the announcers talked about how you couldn't tell who was the home team as they scanned the crowd. Awesome showing by the Bison fans. Can't wait for our trip up north.

Don't you feel stupid now after the WIU game.

My thought is Minneapolis is another place I'd love to go play this year in addition to Iowa City.
