We've got a young team ready to build on what coach Downing is trying to build here.

I was over to your board, man what a downer. Posters over there are already talking about how bad it's going to be to get beat by Chadron. People over there sound like they have already written off the season. That is too bad. Going to need to get some distance from the debacle from last year. A couple wins would go a long way to doing that but your first game will likely be really ugly. Good Luck

They will upset someone within the BSC this year, who? We will find out.....

I think they'll win two in the BSC this year and they won't be in the basement.:)

I am pessimistic for this 2007 UNC season because we have so many young players and we showed no discipline last year. I think a lot of that was because of a new coaching staff but by 2008 they will have it together. I am predicting 2008 as the year that we rise to the top of the BSC.

They were within one score of three BSC opponents last year... there is hope. xthumbsupx

Sac was 4-4 in the BSC last year, and suddenly they're worse than NoCo? I don't think so....

Wouldn't be all the surprising if they beat ISU, however. xeyebrowx

You have a point about us being very young. However, maybe we can have a season like EW. They were very young and still had some nice games.

Being young is good though, it means many of those with less talent and questionable work ethics have moved on. Not that that necessarily means the new guys are more talented but at least a lot of the ****ty attitudes have been not so subtly encouraged to leave.

I'd rather have young guys that the current staff have brought in than hold overs from the prior regime and all the baggage they possessed.

Lots of FCS teams would lose to Chadron. They go into the season ranked #3 in D2 I believe and have probably the best running back in all of college football.

I don't follow D2 much any more, but this tailback from Chadron State had 2756 yards rushing in a season! Check him out. Danny Woodhead - Harlon Hill winner as best D2 player last year. Some FBS team screwed up not getting this guy.

That is quite a statement - McFadden, Rice, Stewart, Slaton, Johnson, etc. . .

I'd be willing to bet there are FCS RB's that are a lot better to. UNC will probably beat this team, and their RB with gaudy stats.

If anything he deserves to be mentioned with these guys.

That may be the case but it's a big jump to say he's "probably" better than all of them

You need to get down to a lower elevation and breathe, you have obviously been up in the clouds way to long. xnodx

The top of the BSC in 2008? xeyebrowx

In all seriousness, I wish Northern Colorado nothing but the best in getting back on their feet. Having dealt with more than our fair share of off-the-field issues and quite a few years of futility, MSU fans can definitely empathize with you.

And yes, Woodhead is that good. The best in the country? No. One of the best outside of FBS, regardless of division? I think so.
