Offshore Line on NDSU game

Aren't hawk fans and Panther fans the same people?? What kind of crazy is it when you argue with yourself?
This Panther fan is certainly not a Hawk fan... I am a UNI fan since birth/alum.
There are a ton of those Hawk/Panther fans out there, and I accept that. I am not exactly representative of some those posters over on PN that are your "UNI or Nothing" Crowd!

You're a better man than I Dag...
So does that mean you root for the Bison when they're not playing the Sioux?
Can't say I root against Iowa, but have a really hard time rooting for them. Funny thing is I used too.. Some of their fans are what have turned me off.
I am as realistic as they come regarding our chances in the Big XII, but a 20 to 30 point victory of NDSU is realistic.
We heard the same talk before last season's opener against SDSU and we beat them by 27 -- and as the rest of the season showed, we were a very bad football team. We have addressed some of our weaknesses and should be better this year. But let's say we're not -- let's say we're playing at last years level. It wasn't good, but it was good enough to beat SDSU by 27. And SDSU is better than NDSU.
I remember how bad I felt about Chizik when he lost to Kent State. NDSU would make it an instinutional holiday if they were to beat Kent State; 20 years from now they would be on message boards bragging how their first born was named after the QB who led them to victory over the vaunted Golden Flash. Count me in as someone that would be beyond concerned if ISU were to lose to NDSU.
Monty is spot on. With all the predict our record polls we have had on here lately, it seems that the vast majority of us have the team finishing in the 4 to 6 wins range. There is no way we even get close to that without beating NDSU. And I would even say there is no way we get there without beating NDSU by at least a couple TDs. We lose this game and 0-12 here we come. If this game is close, 1-11 here we come.
I honestly don't understand why there is as much doubt about this as there is on the board. I know we are ISU and we have a history, but we had an awful team last year and beat up on SDSU, and SDSU is a better team than NDSU. If we are any better, or even equal to what we were last year, this one shouldn't be close.
NDSU was lucky to schedule some sandwich games when lowlevel FBS teams were likely to overlook them. If SDSU game had fallen between Colorado and Missouri last year it would have been a closer game. They have not had the pleasure recently of playing a game against a superior team who won't be overlooking them. It is the first game of season for new coach and players will want to impress new staff that they made correct choice in starting them. ISU is about 7 points a quarter better, should win by at least 28 unless coach calls off dogs late.
Indiana is on the schedule, and UNI would probably beat them. At this point, I would even favor UNI in a game against ISU.
I'll say this - UNI is a far better opponent for Iowa than either Maine or FIU were last year.
I wouldn't be stunned to see a VERY similar season for Iowa in 2009 as 2005. 8-4. Mark it dude.
Way to go out on a limb, as that is what most fans and pre-season predictions are saying as well, along with Iowa finishing 4th or 5th.
The d-line is in better shape going into this season than it was in 2005, so that might be worth an extra win.
iowa state should beat ndsu by 1`7 points.
iowa will be lucky to beat the panthers-the squawks will not have their head in the game. they wilol be looking forward to the next week and will be flat against the panthers. the panthers will really be goosed up for the iowa game and may upset the EIU SQUAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it true that Clayborn got his trial moved conveniently until after the season?
Actually yes....
In 10 days be rooting for ISU, but would like to see my friends son Nick Mertens (QB for Bison) play well.....
Yep, the combined efforts of Kirk, along with the ICPD, the cab driver, and the Johnson county prosecutor all conspired to move the "trial" to next year.
