Question for you Panther fans

[BryceC]

I know this is your game week as well this year, but I would like to hear from a fanbase that is a little more objective about NDSU. I know they are in your conference and you played them last year, and I also know they lost a lot of guys off their team. What are your expectations for NDSU this year? I saw they were picked 4th in your conference but I honestly don't know how good that would make them. I do know that your conference is probably one of the top ones in FCS but I'm just flat ignorant to what that means about how good they will be overall.

Any insight to NDSU? Should ISU fans worry about this game? I'm not worried about it at all but I'll be the first to admit I wasn't worried about UNI in the least the last time we played when you guys won.

NDSU: 3-8; lose to UNI @ Fargo by 20, minimum.

'Clones should be able to handle NDSU this year.
Unless the Bison are surprisingly good, or ISU is surprisingly bad


I will be pulling for NDSU, but I don't really think they'll pull it off

Re: Question for you Panther fans

I'll tell you what I told an ISU fan yesterday.

If UNI were playing NDSU at home this weekend, I'd expect a 24+ point win, maybe 30. IMHO, the big divide in the MVCF this year will be between 3rd (SDSU) and 4th (NDSU). That is where "upper" and "lower" division will be defined.

Going back a few months, didn't NDSU lose a bunch of guys to suspensions? I seem to remember some of them being potential starters, including a QB.

North Dakota St. can't pass the ball a lick, and I sincerely doubt they're bigger than ISU (although I haven't looked into it to be fair). I say Iowa State wins this one going away, as I don't look for NDSU to be world-beaters this year.

Re: Question for you Panther fans

If NDSU starts the same QB that played against UNI last year, I'd feel pretty good as a Clone fan.

But brace yourself for an "enthusiastic" fan base from Fargo. I got my first dose of those boys in the restroom in the dome about 5 minutes before game time last year. They have a lot of strong opinions that they feel compelled to express...immediately before their team gets pasted.

They have no problem taking one on the forehead, and think they're going to run before they learn to walk.

They have only suspended 11 players.

Re: Question for you Panther fans

NDSU will be different vs iowa state then uni.

honestly, our O Coordinator screwed up the UNI game last year, we were flat, and out of sync.

ISU will be surprised. keep giving them big heads though, they seem to enjoy that down in ames for this ndsu game.
