North Dakota Preps

how well do you think The University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux will do in their first year of FCS football and where will they finish in the Great West Division?

I think the Sioux will do fairly well and i think they will finish with an 8-2 record if they stay with ten games this season but i think they might be able to be 9-2 if they get that 11th game scheduled. also the UND v.s. Southern Illinois game should be a great one to watch,Sioux versus former head coach Dale Lennon, wish i could go and watch. GO SIOUX!!!

Can you post a schedule?

Serious reply's only please. I've said it before that we aren't going to allow and trash talk between fans of different universities here, (you know who you are). There is enough of that on the other message boards to last a lifetime.

Thu, Aug 28 Texas A&M-Kingsville Grand Forks, N.D. 7 p.m.

Sat, Sep 06 St. Cloud State Grand Forks, N.D. 1 p.m.

Sat, Sep 13 Wisconsin-LaCrosse Grand Forks, N.D. 1 p.m.

Thu, Sep 18 Idaho State at Pocatello, Idaho 7:35 p.m.

Sat, Sep 27 Southeastern Louisiana at Hammond, La. 6 p.m.

Sat, Oct 04 OPEN TBA TBA

Sat, Oct 11 OPEN TBA TBA

Sat, Oct 18 Western Washington Grand Forks, N.D. 1 p.m.

Sat, Oct 25 UC-Davis * at Davis, Calif. 8 p.m.

Sat, Nov 01 Southern Illinois at Carbondale, Ill. 2 p.m.

Sat, Nov 08 Southern Utah * Grand Forks, N.D. 7 p.m.

Sat, Nov 22 South Dakota * at Vermillion, S.D. TBA

My guess right now is about 3 losses with that schedule. Obviously SIU and I think Davis will be tough in Cali. I think that the other loss would be more of a suprise loss to a team they should have beaten. A lot of it depends on how smoothly they transition to a relatively new coaching staff.

The standings will be skewed anyways not everyone in the Great West is playing a full conference schedule.

My guess is Wins over Kingsville, SCSU, La Crosse, Idaho St., West. Wash, USD, and SUU and losses to SE LA, UC-Davis, and SIU. 8-3 season

How long do you think untill they get a NDSU game going again? Ever?

If UND can get into the Gateway then probably as early as 2010 but I would say at the end of their transition in 2011.

i can gaurentee that the sioux and bison will play not the coming year but the year after, there was talks between the two for the past two years to get a game but couldnt fit it in and they said if there isnt a game this year there will be one next year so SIOUX v.s. BISON 2009, i will be there

if there is i hope so, but I am pretty sure there werent any talks between the two schools for the past two seasons, the Bison dont really want to play UND while they're in their transition. I'd say 2010 is the earliest they'll play, even if that
