Rivalry

Re: Rivalry

Pretty sure I heard the phrase used in reference to the 2005 UNI defense, which is the closest UNI's come to a national title. Perhaps my memory is faulty though ('05 UNI did finish 71st in I-AA in total defense for the year though).

But I realize my error: I tend to look at such statements objectively (as in, applying both ways), which evidently isn't how such smack talk should be viewed. Carry on.

Re: Rivalry

Ahh yes the ol' "bend-but-don't-break" scapegoat ....giving bad D's an excuse since Lakes' Mother was Pony Express stalking Abe Lincoln. Oh yes, how could I forget about that dominating D-line that got shoved around by a rookie Panthers O-Line. More like a Raggedy Andy-line

We run a Tampa 2 scheme, the very nature of that scheme is bend but don't break. It works well when the DL can apply constant pressure which happened last year.

Tampa 2 is a linebacker driven scheme. The role of the DL is to keep the offensive lineman off the LBs so that they can make plays. You want the DL to be able to keep the quarterback in the pocket and force him to throw under the coverage and allow the coverage to close and make plays. Once you are in a short field/red zone the D has less area to cover and can clog lanes more. It gives up yards and can also give up points if you are up against a good QB who can break you down on the run or you have a weak link in the LB/DB corps that can be exploited.

I think a case can be made that is DL driven, you need speedy LBs who can cover and play run support but since you are basically leaving holes in your coverage you need to bring pressure to the QB with your front four. You cannot give a good QB time, he needs to be uncomfortable in the pocket.

The three technique DT might be the most important player in the entire scheme.

Re: Rivalry

I think if NDSU wanted to beat UNI they should have fired Bohl and hired Lennon away from ND. If there is one thing I have learned about the Gateway in the last ten years its that coaches beat coaches. At least in UNI's case. Lennon has Farley's number, Farley had trouble with Denver at Il State, He had Don Patterson's number, he had Heacocks number at YSU, he had Ball's number and now Allens at SMS, and now he has Bohls number too, you can't win. I will believe it when it happens, until then, the numbers don't lie.

The only two schools that have a shot every year without determing location of the game, injured players, etc.. are UNI vs SIU (and I am starting to question that one), and UNI vs SDSU (I can't believe they have become a bigger rivalry to us than NDSU, the Bison were so promising, and now have just fallen into the abyss behind the Panthers and Saluki's annually like everyone else...

Good night.

Re: Rivalry

Lennon is a puke coach, he had Jerry Kill's kids, look at last year with his recruits, a 5-6 abortion. NDSU will beat UNI 27-10

if UNI beats NDSU I will NOT POST on panthernation the rest of the 2011 football season (note NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP is in January 2012_


SDSU?? they havent won jack squat.. never beat a FBS... choked on a 28-7 playoff lead.. haha.

Re: Rivalry

For all the wailing and gnashing of teeth that goes on around here about the boys from the NoDak, you'd have a hard time convincing me they aren't a rivalry. There's a heck of a lot more traffic on this board about the Bison than almost any other team in the league. To be honest, the last few years we've had some tight ball games, but I don't really get a rivalry sense out of anybody in the league except NDSU, and that's based on how we as a Panther fan base react to them.

Re: Rivalry

There is a difference between a rivalry and responding to idiot crackpot trolls who can't rationally or coherently contribute to a conversation. Just because Saluki fans arent always on here doesn't mean there isn't bad blood or there isn't a rivalry. And just because a Bison fan is always on here because it's the only board that hasn't banned him yet, doesn't mean that there is one...yet. I see your point Posse, and in most other situations you'd be right

Re: Rivalry

Perfect example of why we hate Bison fans and give fuel to this "rivalry", they are generally ignorant fools with an inflated sense of entitlement despite very little success.

In regards to the playoff run, obviously you have to be a good team to make it to the semi's...but when you then try to point to that as why you're a better team (disregarding the fact that you've been pummeled by UNI during the regular season for the past few years) then you need a dose of reality. The fact that they believe they should've been nat'l champs last year is also laughable. That defense was horrendous and they were fortunate to get teams like Montana St. that touted equally horrendous D's. It was quite a run but in the end they had to come back home as empty-handed as anyone else not-named Eastern Wash. At least UNI can point to a conference title and the fact that they dominated the Bison once again, head-to-head.

horrendous d? the statistics disagree with you. take the blinders off. as for rivals, we're not rivals, yet. it's been too one sided to call this a rivalry. but i do know that these two teams do not like each other by watching them play and the fan bases arent fans of each other either
