It's good to see someone other than the faithful here have high expectations for the Trees!

Did we get votes last year? It's nice to be ahead of NDSU, I guess, but they did beat us by 39 points last year. Guess I don't know how much to make of this. It's certainly positive, I just don't know how positive.

None of this means anything if we don't get it done on the field, the time for excuses is over it is time for positive results.

the bye bye bye-zun won't be happy about this, I bet there is a full meltdown over on byezunville, their rivals from Grand Forks are even ranked ahead of them, I wonder what's driving them more crazy?? :bigsmile:

This is nice, but I-AA preseason polls are even more meaningless than the I-A polls. Reminds me of my senior year when we were ranked 14th in the preseason poll and finished the year 5-6 or 4-7. A nice little nod to us, but as was said before, it means nothing until we start proving something on the field...

This would be a good year to start doing that, of course...:bigsmile:

Realistically I don't think anyone takes this very seriously; however it is nice to see the name in boldface. It gives recognition for good recruiting and hard work by coaches and players alike. A little recognition can go a long way in terms of a little extra effort in practice. It might even reduce some of the ridiculous remarks these guys have put up with on campus in recent years.

the meltdown is on over at bye bye byezunville, it's really quite funny, while I think it's odd ISU has more votes than the byezun, hopefully ISU plays them closer this season.

I think this simply states that pundits are liking the progress the program has made. We've landed some quality transfers that should instantly increase production and we've got a schedule that lends itself to a couple easy wins -- or what should be easy wins. Throw in the fact that Trent's first couple recruiting classes are now upperclassmen with experience and there should start to be fruit on that Sycamore tree.

no respect from the Punthers either, but that's to be expected. I do believe ISU has beaten them within the past 10 yrs. at least once. I am sure another win over them will be forthcoming within the next 1-3 yrs., then they'll undergo their meltdown and have to be put on suicide watch as well

From memory in 2002 ISU beat Northern Iowa at ISU's homecoming. I can't recall the score. Also both opponents web-sites show that in most games this year people will be underestimating our improved team. Upsets anyone???

 

[Bally #50]

21-19 ISU (from my crack research team)

 

[goindystate]

I believe there will be an upset or 2 this year, we'll see. Mizzery St. fans with the same attitude as all the other teams' message boarders. I think MSU could be one of the teams ISU beats this season.

Yes in 2002 my first year we beat them...they had a last second touchdown that was ruled out of bounds...and we won...we lost to ball state that year by 2...and eastern beat us with romo on a last second touchdown pass...it was tied 19 to 19 and it was 4th and 1 with time winding...they did a play action and everybody jumped on the pile while romo hid the ball behind his back...everyone yelled pass but it was too late...six and eastern wins..we were 5-6 that year..could have had a winning season....oh well...taking a trip down memory lane....losing seasons or not...I had a blast being a sycamore...

Feel free to share more stories from your playing days, Bigblue. I liked your post.

 

[Bally #50]

Agree. BTW, did you wear 79?

 

[BigBlue79]

Yes I wore 79 and I played for coach tim mcguire...I had a great time and met some very good people and I got to see some amazing athletes on my team and others in our conference...Coach Mcguire was a good coach...I am very proud of what is going on right now and excited to see what happens in the future...

I am glad you feel that way. I think you can tell that MOST of us feel the same way~

Yes, most of us do! And keep up the stories 79--fun to read and help with heritage for the current team.
