I take it Craig Bohl (or someone from NDSU) voted for Illinois State? I see USD is towards the bottom. Hopefully Glenn can turn that program around or else their stay in the MVFC could be a rough one.

Embarrassing...

Randy Ball wasn't the best, but he also was never worse than 5-6.

Terry Allen has made 5-6 seem like a successful season now.

Indiana State has more all conference players than UNI and NDSU combined. They should have little trouble winning the MVFC with that kind of talent.

Yep, just like NDSU in 2008.

Even with Bell, IMO, Indiana State will finish no better than 5th in the conference. UNI-Illinois State-Youngstown-NDSU are better teams right now. SDSU and SIU might be better too.

It's going to be another damn tough year in the MVFC.

Even USD will be decent, I think. Only MO St won't have much to show for on the field.

I could see one or two teams with two or less losses, MO St at the bottom winless and then a bunch of teams 4-4 in the middle.

Thanks for the laugh! Seems that mpls's sarcasm detector is broken, or he's just that dense... probably the latter.

I knew exactly what he was saying.

Hence why I posted NDSU in 2008 - preseason all-world champs. Came crashing down.

Really?

I bet they go winless in the conference. Lost 23 seniors and they were very mediocre last year. Illinois State held them to a total of 108 yards for the whole game. I'm sure you are picking them to beat the Bison in Sioux Falls.
