I was excited to see the game will be on the flagship ESPN...they sending their pregame circus up there too?

Well, probably win up there sometime again.

Take a shot and see how it goes.

Nope. They're at Army-Navy.

I'm looking forward to this thread being derailed by NDSU fans. It will be a nice change of pace from threads being derailed by our own fans.

Judging by the thread at their forum they have more respect for the UNI offense than UNI fans.

Not saying much.

They also don't have to watch it every play of every week

Their assessments seemed to be pretty accurate. They just seem to appreciate the talents of Smith and Bailey more. At least in that one thread. I think sometimes when watching our own teams we can be way more critical than whats reasonable.

I have to laugh at how a few Bison fans accuse Panther defensive players of faking injuries last night and doing the same last time vs NDSU

I'm still embarrassed with how Jake faked that leg fracture.

Smith and Bailey both pose a threat of breaking off huge plays, and opposing teams always have to be wary of them.

However, UNI's offense has a tendancy to be one-dimensional, and only having success with those occasional big plays and nothing else, so it is feast or famine. And if a defense can contain those two from busting those plays, things can get quite frustrating for UNI fans.

Eh, I agree somewhat. However, I think its more in the play calling. They seem to be not content with a consistent 4-5 yard gain and go away from those plays then panic and call 3 straight QB draws...

Wait, you think NDSU can stop 3 straight QB runs up the middle?

According to bisonville if they wear their green helmets we stand no chance
