SIU could be a good game. UC Davis barely beat Northern Colorado who has one win the last 2 seasons, so I see this one going in favor the Sioux. Its too bad they don't play Cal Poly so they could play 2 ranked teams.

So they are going to be known as the team that got stomped by Texas Tech next year 56-3...nice publicity...I guess it's good that UND isn't scared to take on these teams..just doesn't look good in the W-L columns but whatever works for ya I guess..publicity or success..hmmmm...

oh..and I'm not a 5th grader..thanks..but you were close..I'll give ya that

everyone was excpecting appalachain state to get beat by michigan, but look what happened. and it may not look good in the w-l column for the sioux if they get beat but it at least shows that they are confident in their team and it also gives them an upper hand, because after playing texas tech, most of the other teams wont be nearly as hard to beat as texas tech, so i only see good coming out of this for the sioux. win or lose you still get your name out there for having the confidence in playing harder teams and not staying back and scheduling push over teams, and really in the sioux's case it is a win - win situation because, if they lose, oh well just another FCS team getting beat by an FBS team, and if they win it would be one of the biggest upsets in college football history. so best of the luck to the sioux against texas tech and possibly hawaii. GO SIOUX!!!!!!

I think you get better by playing better teams and competing, and unless Texas Tech loses a lot off of this years team UND won't compete. And nobody should make Hawaii out to be this almighty team either. They're traditionaly a good team in a gawd awful conference. They had a good season last year playing a bunch cream puffs in their non-conference and beating every team in their poor conference.
