I hope not. I had MSU picked as a trap game in the preseason because I thought we'd be drained after playing a ranked YSU at their place.HI54UNI wrote:I hope you're right on that one.dbackjon wrote:I will pick two "upsets"

As a general homer comment I think that we're underrated because we've had to play so vanilla this year while learning a new system from a new coaching staff; going 2-2 against Hampton, N'western, UNI, and NDSU in the first four games while playing only base defense and limited offense was more of an achievement than it appears. The dawgs appear to be gelling now and I think we're a little under the radar.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

I think SIU has a good football team. My hoping that they lose is a homer comment from me because it would help out the Panthers in the conference standings.houndawg wrote:I hope not.

Re: MVFC Week 9
The Salukis really seem to finally getting the hang of that 3-4 defense that Lennon installed. The offense could use some consistency. They seem to rely more on big plays and short fields after forced turnovers than sustained drives. I think as White gets healthier they will convert more of those third and short plays that will help them to sustain drives.houndawg wrote:I hope not.

Of course, just as I hope you soften up WIU before they come to C'dale.HI54UNI wrote:I think SIU has a good football team.

I have been looking at this week and think I got a handle on it.
NDSU doesn't right the ship quite yet.
SIU puts up a big number
SDSU does right the ship
YSU, for some odd reason, catches UNI with their pants down and pulls another upset out of their collective asses.

I think he was referring to YSU pulling the upset.
