Re: Dog Week

Hard to believe SIU is a 3-8 team.

Real good offensive scheme...pretty athletic group, good QB, good RB.

Guess it goes to show...you gotta have the D to win in this league.

their first 6 losses were by less than a touchdown each, with an average margin of only 2.8 points, and most of them on the road:

• 1 pt loss at Indiana
• 3 pt loss at SEMO
• 1 pt loss at WIU
• 3 pt loss at Indiana State
• 6 pt loss vs NDSU
• 3 pt loss at South Dakota

I really think that is a really good win for UNI, they had control of game for its entiretity and the offense answered with a huge TD drive everytime they needed to. Nice to see the O helping out the D this week.

Re: Dog Week

Already stated, I was there. I also posted the records. They were never a COMPETITIVE rival.

We were 7-3 against them in the 80s and 9-1 in the 90s.

They won the conference in 89 and shared the title with us in 90. That's it.

You've just decided to adapt your own definition of rival and declare everyone else wrong. UNI-SMSU was a tough, hard-fought series in that time. And BTW, someone listing themselves as "Moderator" needs to be more moderate in their responses.

That's just absurd - unless they're doing things others would be banned/suspended for, they have every right to passionately discuss things as much as anyone else.

Re: Dog Week

Didn't we use to have a pretty decent contingent of SIU fans on this board? It would be nice to bicker with someone besides our own fans for awhile.

I'm not adopting my own definition. Lol. I just said it was never competitive. Wow.

Hard fought I would agree with. I just said it wasn't competitive, with us winning about 4 out of every 5 games. It wasn't like our rivalry with SIU where we were essentially trading off every year. It was just my statement of my opinion on a difference between the Bear rivalry and others and it was actually you and Mudra who decided to declare me wrong for sharing my opinion.
