Re: NDSU game thread

In honor of the Indians closing out the Cubs in the series...and that cinematic classic "Major League"....

There's only one thing left to do.....win the whole @#$%ing thing.

Western Illinois got in last year at 6-5. They finished the year 2-3 and were absolutely pummeled 59-7 by NDSU. Played Illinois and Eastern Ill and Coastal in the non-con, so the committee obviously rewards teams for tough scheduling.

It's unlikely but if we get to 6-5, it's not impossible.

Re: NDSU game thread

How many NDSU fans were there? Didn't seem like any more than two thousand from the game shots, and the pic I saw of the east side there were maybe two dozen at the most.

There were several thousand but they were spread out which is their MO. They wait until single game tickets go on sale and then buy them. I did notice that they are as fat as they appear on TV.

Re: NDSU game thread

Easily had a couple dozen fans from NDSU on the west side in the first few rows between the 30s. Too bad season ticket holders that can't make the game can't find UNI fans to give/sell their tickets too. Talked to a few of the Bison fans asking where they got their tickets and said they've been getting them from the same person the last few times they came down.

Re: NDSU game thread

I think UNI is still a top 20 team easily, and its a dam shame that your record is what it is........... it was a tough hard fought battle as usual! id say 2500 ndsu fans, it was fun.

Re: NDSU game thread

What kept AB from dressing for the game? Who was the back-up QB?

Sent from my NSA monitored One+ 3

So here's the skinny on what I know.... apparently AB was cleared to dress/play by team physicians but expectantly told the coaching staff he didn't want to because his shoulder was still "bothering him"...he then went on to say if he wasn't going to play he wanted to save himself for the MLB draft....WTF! In my opinion, I say Farley just tells him thanks and goodbye. With an attitude like that, putting himself before the team on more than one occasion, he's better off gone. On the flip side, I also know that Dunne was diagnosed with a concussion after the NDSU game so depending on the clearance rules not sure if he will play this weekend vs. Indiana State or not...only time will tell...what a mess. Wish we had a team full of kids with the same drive and heart as Schultz and Dexter etc....might have been a different season outcome.

Re: NDSU game thread

Could almost see the stars circling Dunne's head that time his helmet came off, I was surprised he didn't come out for a quick check.

Speaking of concussions did Kollmorgen ever get healed up?

Re: NDSU game thread

He should have stayed at Illinois. Nobody told him uni doesn't have baseball?

Is that D'Shawn Dexter and ??

Re: NDSU game thread

Seems like every single year there is a QB injury in the game against NDSU. Not really all that surprising this year with the lack of protection, though.

We were really surprised too that he didn't come out to get checked or forced to sit a play after that second hit. Don't the officials get involved in that? Hope Dunne is OK and the staff looks out for his long-term well being, even if that means missing a game or two until he is 100%. They didn't feel the need to put Dunne in earlier in the year, no need to put him in now.

Well, it was on a third down play. He got right up, rubbed his forehead, grabbed his helmet and jogged to the sideline. I bet he was on the ground for a total of 2 seconds.

Chances are he was checked on the sideline while NDSU has the ball.

You sure about that, in terms of this being fact? Also, is the "MLB" draft a typo? If it's NFL, then he doesn't need to worry about his shoulder. He needs to emulate Tyrell Pryor, the QB from App State, etc.

If this is in fact true, then I agree that he should have no place on this team. If he wants to try and be a pro baseball player, I wish him luck, but if he would rather not dress instead of getting back to practice and working to improve his skills or offer his services to help the team at another position, he's making it clear that he values his own personal playing time over his teammates. I have no idea what position he plays in baseball, but let's just say if he is a pitcher and his coach moves him from starting pitcher to the bullpen, is he going to quit on his team then too? Sounds like he is wasting a great opportunity to learn how to persevere and work through obstacles.
