It's your turn, UNI!

Montana didn't score as many as I thought they would and it cost me a case of beer. Can't find a cyclone fan to make a wager with so I won't. ILSU "beat" KSU, SIU beat IU. ISU is coming off Texas and looking to Nebraska. Go get 'em Panthers!!!! I'm talking about a win not points. :hurray:

and you keep those Leathernecks winning so they have a nice ranking before their visit to Carbondale on the 7th :)... One Dawg will come out on top and i'm beatin on the Egyptian Dawgs !

Depending on which UNI team shows up Saturday, we may have a game. But, I'm not counting on it. I think the Panthers will have a long day in Ames.

You said it. "Which UNI team shows up." I'm not letting the UND game under estimate the ability of the Panthers. If I remember right, UNI didn't exactly start off like a team headed for the NC last year. I think once the kinks are worked out UNI will be just fine. Like I alluded to, ISU may over look you guys a bit. A week off should help, sometimes.

It just seemed like to me that UNI was not happy with their play in some of their earlier games and didn't feel that their defense was playing that well. All I'm saying is that they didn't appear to be a team headed for the NC until they started rolling in the playoffs, especially after a loss to MSU and ISU. Even though Sanders was out, those losses were surprising. I know ISU was a playoff caliber team last year but 38-3?

Yeah, this does sorta seem like last year. We know the offense can put up the points, but the questions are on defense. The second half of the SDSU game is what is giving us UNI fans hope. If we can play like that and improve on that, we will be fine. But if we pull another UND...the Sycamores may their first Gateway win in a few seasons.

I think some of the DBs have shown a lot of improvement and may give Blythe a decent challenge. I'd like to think we could beat Toledo and UNLV on one of our better days (best probably wouldn't be necesary.:rolleyes: ).

If UNI shows up, it could be a game. Would like to avoid a beating and injuries.
