Re: Thoughts: NDSU vs UNI

YAWN 10-3 in 4th and NDSU made 4 mistakes, so you guys won your super bowl, but we will just take the natty title...

Nah, it was never that close!

Do you wanna discuss the severe beating from 3 weeks ago?

Sure. Do you mean the one NDSU won't win if they put up another performance like they did?

If that same team shows up to play UNI again you won't have to worry about any title discussions until next year.

Love the font size. What is that about a 167?

Re: Thoughts: NDSU vs UNI

Lakes has a point...somewhat...with the Super Bowl thing. It was just one game and not a playoff game at that. I like how UNI is playing right now, but I still remember the South Dakota and SDSU games. It's not like UNI is unstoppable. Plus, I've seen many UNI teams look great at the end of the season and get shutdown in the first couple rounds. If UNI were to face NDSU in the playoffs, NDSU would be favored. It would be very difficult to go up there and win a playoff game.

They were favored when we kicked the crap out of them in the Dome Sunshine.

...And that "kicked the crap out of them in the dome" counts for approximately nothing in the playoffs. Shout all frick'n night about how UNI won a regular season game at home this year. NDSU wins national championships. And UNI will not play NDSU in dome again this year.

Re: Thoughts: NDSU vs UNI

NDSU still has to win this weekend or maybe they will be coming here (or ILL ST) if we take care of business. Would love to see if NDSU has what it takes to make a playoff run on the road.
Either way, I know they say they "want us again", but inside neither their fans or players truly "want us" anymore than we truly want to play them prior to a game in Frisco. And that is whether it is a game at the Fargo Building or not.

Blame LG - apparently a high resolution display on the Nexus 5 (screenshot).

Doesn't matter where we play them. Is their field bigger? Do we have to take different players? Is the ball a different shape? I might accept your argument if we had won by 2 and given up over 175 yards of TOTAL offense. But the way it sits now we would beat them there too.

You don't think there's any mental advantage to

A) UNI knowing they can not only play with those guys, but beat them by 20?

B) NDSU knowing that we beat them by 20 and aren't afraid to play them - no intimidation factor like they usually bring to the table?

We match up very well with them. Winning by 20 is not an accident or a fluke. Playing in Fargo does not produce a 20 pt. swing - our D is too good for that. Never mind that we played a better team than this year's version up there in Fargo last year, had them beat, and injuries and questionable plays let them back in. If we were to play there and grab an early lead, it brings all those memories of how they were dominated here. It does matter - period.

We really need a "Like" button here.

Boom!...We would beat them there. Ben needs to chill.
