    Post Spring, Pre Summer Predictions

    With Spring ball behind us, and before UNI gets a transfer of two in during the summer, what are your predictions for W-L for the season (assuming UND is added)?

    Aug. 31 at Drake
    Sept. 9 North Dakota
    Sept. 16 South Dakota State
    Sept. 30 at Iowa State
    Oct. 7 Missouri State
    Oct. 14 at Indiana State
    Oct. 21 at Youngstown State
    Oct. 28 Western Illinois
    Nov. 4 Western Kentucky
    Nov. 11 at Southern Illinois
    Nov. 18 Illinois State

    Cut and paste this schedule and put "Win" or "Loss" by it. Throw in your assessment of what the game will be like if you wish, or any other random thoughts. If you think UNI will make the playoffs, make that prediction too (home games, who UNI will play, etc...).
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    Aug. 31 at Drake W 49-17 UNI buries the down and overmatched Drake

    Sept. 9 North Dakota W 49-10 2 easy ones to open up

    Sept. 16 South Dakota State W 38-14 SDSU sees how the upper level PCG plays

    Sept. 30 at Iowa State W 21-20 Sandwiched in between Nebraska and Texas, and right in the middle of McCarneys typical midseason swoon.

    Oct. 7 Missouri State W 42-20 Welcome home TA

    Oct. 14 at Indiana State W 52-7 InSt doesnt even belong in the league anymore

    Oct. 21 at Youngstown State W 27- 21 Physical game decided by turnovers

    Oct. 28 Western Illinois W 38-14 Patterson has to be on his way out, doesn't he??

    Nov. 4 Western Kentucky W 34-21 WKU is down from last year

    Nov. 11 at Southern Illinois L 63-60 Always a close high scoring game, SIU wins in Carbondale

    Nov. 18 Illinois State W 34-31 ISU can score, not much D in this one.

    PLAYOFFS- We get the #2 seed and that means 3 in the Dome. We run all over Lehigh and Cal Poly in the first two rounds and then Montana comes to town, The greatest Dome crowd of all time makes the difference and we win 31-24. Off to Chattanooga to play #1 New Hampshire- We do it again UNI 27 NH 21

      Aug. 31 at Drake BIG win in Des Moines. Drake will not be good this year as they lose a lot.

      Sept. 9 North Dakota: Big win once again. UND is good and they know how to win but its always a mismatch against DII schools.

      Sept. 16 South Dakota State : Win. They are still in the process of growing up to play the big boys.

      Sept. 30 at Iowa State : Loss. Even when they won 2 games a few years ago, they still won. It will definitely be a high scoring game though. Very similar to the Iowa game last year.

      Oct. 7 Missouri State : WIN no way does this team lose to Terry Allen. Farley and Salmon won't let it happen.

      Oct. 14 at Indiana State : 100-0 good guys. They stink!

      Oct. 21 at Youngstown State : Win. We don't lose to YSU now that Farley is here.

      Oct. 28 Western Illinois : win. They still won't be improved that much and patterson will be a lame duck.

      Nov. 4 Western Kentucky : Loss. This is a classic game before SIU and after WIU to have a letdown.

      Nov. 11 at Southern Illinois : Win. Time to erase the demons that Carbondale has had on UNI over the years.

      Nov. 18 Illinois State: Win. UNI does not lose on Senior day and the guys will not forget last year.


      I think we go 10-2

        Why not assume we win them all? I expect us to be able to beat every team on the schedule.

          BOLD statements, although I like the general idea. Iowa State is not Big 12 Champion caliber yet but they are no cupcake (the WERE one game away from winning the Big 12 North the last two years). Our defense backfield better bring their game against Todd Blythe.

          To win the NC this year we need to field a team BETTER than the teams that played with Warner, Paup, Shed, and others. Can we do it? Or is our competition just down compared to those past years?

            Careful here. The Big 12 North has been very very average....and that is being nice.

              ISU is A LOT better than they were when we beat them twice in the 90s. I think we will need to play really really well, give no turnovers, and hope for mistakes on their part to win it.

                  Kansas was 7-5 last year and beat APP State....

                  09/10/05 Appalachian State Lawrence, Kan. W, 36-8

                    NDSU(D2)-25
                    Montana -24

                    Be careful what you say about solid NCC schools, I'm sure griz fans will tell you what happens when you take a good DII team lightly. That said I am not Sioux fan by any means and I hope you win 49-10, they deserve that kind of beating for some of things they have said about IAA. I've always wanted NDSU to give UND a lesson on how IAA football is but I guess I will settle for you guys teaching them a thing or two. As for SDSU they can sneak up and bite you too but if you shut down their running attack they have no chance and plus they don't do so well in domes.

                      I'm not concerned about NDSU this year because we don't play them

                        I didn't mean to imply that I thougtht UNI or Appy St. would have won the Big 12 North, because I don't believe that for a second. I was just making a point that being one win away from winning the Big 12 North isn't that big of an accomplishment because the level of competition has fallen way off after Nebraska, Kansas St, and Colorado have seen declines in their programs in recent years.

                          I think we'll go 9-2 with losses @ SIU and ISU. I believe it will be good enough to garner a 3 or 4 seed giving us 2 guaranteed playoff home games. I plan on making the playoff games and tailgate out in the gravel lot where its butt-@$$ cold and decorate the Christmas tree again. Then after both games I'll dance down the steps outside of the Dome chanting, "Chattanooga, Choo, Choo!!" once again. I'll also find out that one of the top two seeds lost, giving us a National Semifinal on ESPN2 in the Dome. I'll take off work at Noon to get down to CF for a good start to the tailgate and, like bcrawf says, cheer the Panthers on to Chatty amongst the largest gathering of UNI fans in history.

                          And, of course, this year I plan on quadrupling the amount of purple and gold cray paper I bring to Chatty to decorate "Panthernation South" with again!!

                            Aug. 31 at Drake. Gigantic lopsided win. 59-7

                            Sept. 9 North Dakota: Another steamroll. 51-14

                            Sept. 16 South Dakota State : Yet another blowout 48-13. Sucks this is family day. Also my wedding day.

                            Sept. 30 at Iowa State : As much as it pains me to say it. Loss in a close game 27-21

                            Oct. 7 Missouri State : Homecoming. TA coming home. Payback from last year. No way we lose this one

                            Oct. 14 at Indiana State : 77-3. Terrible progam

                            Oct. 21 at Youngstown State : A nailbiting win. 17-14

                            Oct. 28 Western Illinois : Steamroll win. 38-10

                            Nov. 4 Western Kentucky : We beat em there, no reason we shouldn't beat em here. 24-20 in overtime

                            Nov. 11 at Southern Illinois : This one worries me. If it's half as good as the game last year, it is still the game of the year. We win by no more than 3

                            Nov. 18 Illinois State: Owe these guys a buttwhipping from last year. Big win heading into the playoffs.

                            10-1 regular season, and good lord willing a return trip to Chattanooga for the gold trophy we left there last season.

                            Man I am so pumped for football!!!!!!!!

                              I agree w/ MadCat. 9-2 with losses at ISU and SIU. 10-1 is always possible, but it is the Gateway.
