Well boys, it's been a good off-season. You all showed a lot of heart out there. Way to make it be not nearly as bad as it could have been. Between the babbling of some posters that we all think of as trolls, to the great heartfelt donating to FPC's 24 hours of booty (PS, Go donate NOW!), we made it.

Today.

It's GAMEDAY.


SHSU vs EWU 3:30 EDT/2:30 CDT - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/ncf/conversation?id=400548974)

Let's keep the gameday talks in here.

My very early impressions

Adams seems to struggle on deep balls with not overthrowing his WR. I think I remember hearing that last season as well. Missing long is typically better than missing short, I realize.

SHSU either has a stout defense or EWU's protection is pretty bad.

SHSU offense doesn't look great...then again it's not really because of EWU's defense. They just look like a team replacing a bunch of key players in a new system. Talent looks decent but not on the same page.


Looks like the same EWU as last season. Probably going to have a very good offense, defense will be what costs them a title (should that happen)

I can't believe you are just figuring out that ESPN has ALWAYS regarded FCS as just a filler while waiting for the "real thing." And that's how the overwhelming majority of their audience sees it, too. We all like to feel like the center of the universe, especially when we're at or near the top, as NDSU is currently. But most agree with my friend who said, "I don't watch minor league football." We do, and love it, but get over it.

just seems like if you're going to put a product on your TV channel you should try to boost it up instead of talking over it like it isn't even happening.

FCS is "minor league football" to some people, FBS is "minor league football" to some people .. it's all football. show some respect for the sport and pretend like you know ONE ****ING THING about whats happening in the division.

FCS is "minor league football" to some people, FBS is "minor league football" to some people .. it's all football. show some respect for the sport and pretend like you know ONE ****ING THING about whats happening in the division.

I agree. Just saying it's always been like that. Even the FCS playoffs and championshipon ESPN are talked over about FBS games. At least we can watch the games. Maybe we need our own network, but would enough people watch?

Don't know about either QB's accuracy past 15-20 yards out. Could be the receivers are all jacking it up, but all the throws have seemed long. EWU's run defense better find those 5 players that are on the sideline each run play.

UNI fans, and maybe a decent number of MVFC, can back me up on this one...


Watching this SHSU QB try to throw is like watching Terrell Rennie from a couple seasons ago at UNI. Decent inside of 10 yards, spotty 11-17 and anything over that is just a "hold my beer and watch this" moment.

Sadly, I think Rennie was actually better than this guy.

I will say that the EWU O-line looks to be keeping the QB protected. QB is helping by getting rid of the ball in 2-3 seconds, usually. SHSU seems to need another 1-2 weeks to gel.

the hit was inbounds, he had just happened to step on the sideline a second before. I thought it was a good no-call. if the ballcarrier is going to continue running down the field, they should expect a possible hit, even shortly after the whistle.

Hey I've watched the guy for three years and he is the real deal whether you feel like taking some shots or not you wouldn't feel safe with a 14 or 21 pt. lead and him coming back on the field in the 4th qtr.

I was just saying that he's thrown darts since he took that thing off.

I've seen a lot of commentary in this thread about the play and the level of these teams abilities and so forth. Dumbass talk if you ask me. We are all gonna see some of this from our own teams next week just like everyone always does in first games.
