Re: UNI vs McNeese St

We haven't played anybody decent yet and this is in the UniDome so I think you guys can start concentrating and game planning for the NDSU game. You need two weeks to prepare for those guys. We are just a speed bump on the way to that game.

Don't kid yourself Doc...we can't overlook the 'boys. Our secondary better be on their A game...a flea flicker and dump passes will doom us I fear. Hope we can stop the run this week!

Hell, a little ole' Div II team, West Alabama, shut down our running game in the second half. If we have to just pass, our young OL is going to get run over by your DL on the way to the QB.

West Alabama is the only team we played that has a winning record. I think the other teams are 0-fer except Weber St who beat SFA the first week. And, after what I saw from Weber St. Saturday night and seeing the SFA-Montana St. score, I'm scratching my head over that one.

Doc. Don't play us like that, your team unloaded 53 on a FBS team in their house. Was your 3rd string playing most of the game vs West Alabama? The only speed bump left on our schedule is Terry Allen's train wreck.

Don't forget South Dakota. That game will be ugly...

No, our first string had to score with 40 something seconds left for us to get the win in that game. Of course, those guys were good. The best damned Div II team I've ever seen in person. They have destroyed the two Div II teams they played but they haven't got into their conference schedule. That Gulf South Div II conference is a tough one.

But still, we were lucky not to get beat by a Div II team.

In Doc's defense, USF would lose to Iowa State by 4 touchdowns. That is one of the worst BCS teams I've ever seen. Hell, ISU 2007 would have beaten them handily...

USF better be glad they aren't playing West Alabama. That would be a more embarrassing loss than their loss to us.

'Ol doc and run&blade should have a meet and greet this Sat. I bet they'd be buds.

Re: UNI vs McNeese St

Doc seems realistic with a dash of "glass half-empty". On the flip side, he's just very polite and complimentary towards our teams talents and abilities, which he is gauging in comparison to his own observations of his teams performance. R&B is just a downer.

I was starting to think I was the only one who could see it. I didn't think Doc was really trying to cover it up.

McNeese is ranked 9th or 7th or whatever for a reason. We will have to find a new level if we hope to win this game. Should be a good one.

Then all we have to do is go on the road to the clear #1. I'm thinking I'd take 1-1 over the next two weeks if offered right now. Of course if we are fortunate enough to win this Sat. I'll get greedy then and want 2-0.

You can't dispute the fact that, of our Div I opponents, only Weber St. has a win (and one that is a head scratcher).

Go ahead an plan your game for the Fargo trip.
