Rodent Football?

[Bryce]

Fighting Sioux are keeping pace.

[Scott M]

They took 2 steps forward, 3 steps back last year. The defense is still pretty bad, but at least they can win those creampuff games that they are supposed to. Florida Atlantic is more athletic than some of these other pushovers, so that should keep the D busy on the indoor rug.

There ought to be some mild heat on Brewster next year, and even more by 2010. He needs a few of those recruits to stick. I still expect them to go 0-fer in the Big Ten this year.

But at this point, you take any W you get.

Yep, the Bison lost on the road to a Div I-A team. They can't play a cupcake like Minnesota every year for an easy win!

They were up 13-0 and then lost on a 29yd FG with four seconds left. On to conference play now!

Montana St. is Div I-AA?

[PierBridge]

Thank sucks I'm a big NDSU fan. No doubt they will get back on a winning streak here again.

Do they play the Sioux this year or in the foreseeable future?

I miss that rivalry.

[Bryce]

Have heard that a UND-NDSU potatoe bowl is in the future now that UND has stepped up to D1. Don't think NDSU has really wanted anything to do with them the past few years... Kinda like the rodents wanting nothing to do with a cupcake like NDSU.

[Scott M]

Looked sharp today. Play like that and they might win a couple Big Ten games. Best case scenario they go 3-5 or 4-4.

[Mudcutter]

take your bison outta the mix. 340 rushing yards to Young ST??? Come on. Northern IOwa will CRUSH you at the UNI Dome.

Welcome to playing real DIVII or FCS teams!!!

[Mudcutter]

Wyoming looks real tough. Shut out by BYU forty something to 0. UNI went to BYU and played them real tough. I guess my point is if you think Wyoming and Young St are tough,, watch out for UNI and SDSU. Welcome to the big leagues my pals!!!!

NDSU will be lucky to win 4 games in conf this year.

[PierBridge]

Are U nuts....

Dare I say Bowl Game for Da Gophs!....

[LMITOUT]

Smack talk from Iowa! I like it!

NDSU QB threw 4 INT's. Rumor has it that it was T-Jack who suited up for the Bison yesterday to stay loose if Frerotte goes down today.

[Bryce]

Fighting Sioux 4-0. Maybe see them on the rodent schedule in the future?

[LMITOUT]

Yeah right....you think the Siouxage are going to put a tough game on their schedule?

They've been the forgotten stepchild in the state since the Bison went D-1, so they're going to cupcake their way back to the front page of the newspaper sports pages to re-inflate their massive egos.

The banned YouTube video said it all!!

[gopher_nation]

We're even getting votes in both the AP top 25 and the coaches poll. Really get to see where we are at the "Shoe" next weekend.

[LMITOUT]

I want to know who the rube is that's voting for the Gophers! It's gotta be Sid H. They're barely in the top 50 in the Sagarin ratings!

[toughguy]

Some woman reporter from out east was the one who voted for the Gophers. Her vote should be taken away. I'm a season ticket holder and I would love to see them do well this year but come on, top 25? If they beat the Buckeyes then they belong up there.

[LMITOUT]

Strange. Must have some connection to MN or was just doing it on a dare....a double-dog dare.

[gopher_nation]

I would guess that the lone vote was based solely the undefeated record, and at this point in the season rankings mean nothing. Red-zone stats are great and the turnover margain is huge. Oh yeah and rankings mean nothing right now.

I will say this though, I am exited to see where we are in a couple seasons. It's a young team, and there are some athletes on the field. Nice to see some Minnesota kids on the field too.

[Hitman54]

Does anyone know if the UMn vs OSU will be on TV or only on the Big 10 network?

[PierBridge]

I would think the Big-Ten Network would have exclusive rights to the game....sorry!

[LMITOUT]

Says BTN right now.

But you can watch Wisconsin/Michigan on ABC at 2:30.

[Bryce]

They've been the forgotten stepchild in the state since the Bison went D-1, so they're going to cupcake their way back to the front page of the newspaper sports pages to re-inflate their massive egos.

If I remember correctly, the Bison didn't exactly rule the roost when they moved up. They managed to get a series lined up with the rodents that we all know will never happen again. Is there a difference in the Sioux stepping up as far as being tough to line up opponents? Please elaborate.

[LMITOUT]

Maybe they could play Iowa or Wisconsin then if MN won't play the Nodak teams anymore.

[PierBridge]

Dare I say Bowl Game for Da Gophs!....

5-1... not to shabby!

[ozzie]

one more win and they are in a bowl game!!!

[zepman]

So far so good. They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do...beat teams they should. Hope they keep it up!!
