2-9. Whomever.....

FCS Prediction
2014 National Champion UNI

[putter]

1. Northern Iowa
2-9. Whomever.....

Kind of going out on a limb there Cap'n, don't you think/??

[AZGrizFan]

1. Northern Iowa
2-9. Whomever.....

Stop the fucking presses. We have identified something we thought was long extinct.....a (somewhat) football-related post from one of the UNI brothers.

[ysubigred]

1. Northern Iowa
2-9. Whomever.....

UNI winning a/the NC is as likely as the Cap'n stopping his PORN addiction

[clenz]

So, about as likely as YSU beating uni more than 1 time per decade

True so true

There is no such thing as porn or sex "addiction". Recent studies find that people who consume larger quantities of pornography are are simply highly libidinous. They just dig sex. True porn "addiction" is symptomatic of a number of other disorders, most related to OCD.

I passed my porn peak about 8-9 years ago. My fetish for emaciated, homeless, abused Rumanian former gymnasts with downy beavage has evaporated. I get the same thrill now watching Housewives of BH and OC!

[Grizalltheway]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Am I suppose to answer this in a serious manner? Although it did make me laugh

I would say UNI, NDSU and SDSU all make the playoffs. SDSU has one worrisome stupid non-FCS counter which they couldn't help in scheduling, it could screw us pretty hard in the end. Until someone beats the champ, they stay the champ: NDSU wins the Valley. SDSU and UNI could flip flop with either having the potential to win it. All 3 make the playoffs. USD enjoys another year floundering in last. Everything else is filler.

P.S. Please pass on the porn addiction info to my wife. It's the same thing I keep telling her. I don't have a problem I can quit anytime I want to.....but why would I want to?

What happened to Indiana State? They seemed to be on the verge of being competitive and now they're back to a cellar dweller. Was it really just Shakir Bell literally carrying the team?

Yes...

All 5'6 150 lbs of him

Which is why he spent as much time on the injury list as off, actually more his last two years. He finally got sick of it last season and threw a big enough fit to be kicked off the team

That's too bad. I do like to see teams rise from the ashes. Look at SIU. They were God awful for 20 years after winning the NC in the early 80's before returning to prominence.

From his JR year...team rushing stats, top 2

Bell, Shakir 269 carries 1475 yards (5.5 ypc 134 ypg)
Cheeseborough 59 carries 224 yards (3.8 ypg 24.9 ypg)

His soph season he had 260 carries, the next was 52

Even last season, when he was injured and kicked off the team after 5 games he still finished the season 2nd in carries and first in YPG

They changed head coaches, too.

UNI is going to be tough to beat this year with the talent coming back.

UNI
NDSU
SDSU

All three make the playoffs IMO.

If the Bison find some continuity on the OL and DL, they will be in the hunt.

[houndawg]

I think SIU has a pretty good shot at finishing 3rd. They beat SDSU last year at Hobo Day and have 18 starters returning.

[ming01]

Without much research right now I will say:

1. UNI
2. NDSU
3. SDSU
4. SIU
5. Illinois State
6. Missouri State
7. Youngstown State
8. WIU
9. USD
10. Indiana St

SDSUs big key game is Illinois State in my opinion.

Count on it.

UNI has a recent history of puking down their shirts and not making the playoffs. Until they play to their talent or are coached to their talent, I can not believe that they will be on the hunt past November 1st.
