It's honestly weird to see you guys trying to sandbag this hard lol
I'm not trying to sandbag at all. I think the oddsmakers are right and this game is a tossup, I'm optimistic but I know it's not a gimme. Yes a loss will hurt but before too long we'll look back at the USD & UND games as what was ultimately our downfall this season.

My point is that from the Griz point of view, you've been rolling along for 8 games now beating 4 top 10 teams in the process, you have home field advantage while NDSU is playing their 3rd straight road game (plus NDSU didn't get a bye), and we're going through the distraction of a coaching change the week of the game. The thought "if we don't beat them now, we're NEVER beating them" is sure to be out there.
