Western has quit. It's too bad. They used to be a tough, hard-nosed program.
Feel bad for their loyal fans. They do have them.

That's a good start to the second half.

Make them quit. That should be the 3rd quarter goal.

Why challenge anything with these crap TV angles? I have a closer look to the field than the cameras...and I'm in Vermillion.

Holy crap! Need to capitalize on that with an decisive win here. That news needs to get spread across the Coyote sideline.

Nice stop on 4th down. Good field position. Put this one in the end zone. Make them quit.

And it did. Two plays, two runs, TD.

That should get the Coyotes attention.

Offense hasn't played great for 4 weeks now, dating back to the ISUb game. Time to get back on track against the worst defense in the MVFC. Win this one in dominating fashion and get ready to host a playoff game, hopefully as a top 4 seed. To be fair, the team has had a 3 game stretch of playing Top 10 teams. It's not supposed to be easy sledding against Top 10 teams. Also, ISUb has been resurgent. They are a lot better team the second half of the season than in the first. I think they had several key injuries at the start of the season.

Montana State already has two FCS losses, a third loss should put them out of the Top 4 and USD in.

Montana should probably be in that conversation but they have yet to play MSU. We've definitely earned the right to be up there this year. I would feel a lot better about us if we had at least given state a game. I'm really proud of this squad though. It would be really cool if we could be bracketed away from the jacks. I disagree. I would rather be bracketed with the Jacks. Why? Because flying to a Montana school with 25k people in the stands in zero degrees doesn’t sound like fun. Maybe we won’t win in Brookings, but it’s a bus trip game and our fans would have the opportunity to attend. Maybe I am crazy though. Agree. Have to face the Jacks at some point. Might as well face them in-state.

Bring back Sitting Bull.
And finally, North Dakota week would not be complete without a discussion of UND's awful nickname and logo.
First, the nickname. I had a great LOL moment when my wife, who does not follow any of this, says to me during the game that Flying Hawks is kind of a weird name. To tie into the awful sound system thread, she thought the announcer was saying "Flying Hawks". I corrected her and told her it was actually Fighting Hawks. She replied that is even worse.
Second, the logo. The oversized USPS logo on the side of their silver helmets was awful. The Flying Hawk logo is a disaster, just put an interlocking ND on the side of the helmet and minimize any use of the Hawk logo as much as possible.
I realize UND is never going back to the Fighting Sioux nickname but I think enough time has passed now that they can all agree that Fighting Hawks is terrible and they should pick a new nickname and logo and rebrand.

Montana has had some issues this year. Not buying them right now. They'll get their shot in The Brawl.
I expect the Bobcats will roll the Griz.

I don't care what the polls say. The top 3 teams in FCS are SDSU, Montana State, and USD in that order. Furman? Those eastern teams don't play Valley or Big Sky schedules. It's a different thing playing top level competition each week.
