So I guess a role reversal is possible in that they could beat us after you thrashed them, but... Nah, I don't see it happening. We are too talented. Bunch of playmakers on O and our D is looking solid.
Ok so you didn't give me one legit reason why you should beat them, all you said is that you have a bunch of playmakers on offense, which by the looks of your 2 whole touchdowns your offense scored against Mesa High..your wrong. You lost your biggest playmaker hands down when you lost DM. Both you and BigSky33 failed to give me any explanation on how you will beat the Wioux besides saying "uhhh were good and have players, and we beat them last year". You are awarded NO POINTS, WE ARE ALL DUMBER FOR HAVING READ YOUR POST, and may god have mercy on your sole!
Hmmm... so my posts are dumb? Have you looked at some of the other posts in this thread? DM is "out for good"? One of the dumbest posts I've seen in awhile considering both DM himself and Ash have stated that "Without a doubt, DM will be back on this field in a few weeks, 100%". Or, we haven't beaten a good team (Psssst.... how about National Champions EWU). Or Bleskin moving from WR to QB is gonna hurt us. This site has to be the biggest cesspool of misinformation that exists.
But to counter your question... what the hell kind of a "legit" reason are you looking for to convince you that we'll beat UND? We did destroy them last year and it would appear we'll be better this year and they'll be worse. Of course that depends on the play of JB since DM won't be back yet, but I believe he started very well and will get better each game. Plus I believe out talent them enough that we would win the game even with sub par QB play if it happens. Our D is playing rock solid and could be (egriz term - SCARY GOOD) when we get all our players back to 100%. We have Ash. We have Cramsey. We have a great O line. We have Kirk, Johnson, T Bleskin, Ellis, Flot, Brekke, Salanoa, Roderick... I could continue but it doesn't matter what I say, you think we're going to get beat by UND, and I think we're going to win... AFTER we go to SFA and beat them Saturday night.
No all your posts are not dumb, but this one has no weight to it. I don't know how you can say how good your D is when you haven't played anyone. On offense you lost your best player and Kirk wont be able to pound the ball 30 times a game because your O line is mediocre. Therefore I believe you will struggle with UND, they really aren't as bad as the Griz made them look, and I think if they run an uptempo offense like what they did against the Griz at the end of the 1st half you will struggle. You Cats fans are delusional about the talent you have on the field right now. Yes you lost a ton to injury, but it happened and the team is in no way as talented as they were before the season started.
We'll just see what happens. I think we have a team that is good enough to tie or win the Big Sky title outright. Lots and lots of games to play out.
