Week 11 Chat

[mavsfan98]

Here’s the slate for this week.

• Winona St at Mary
• Jamestown at MSU Moorehead
• Bemidji St at Duluth
• Concordia at Southwest MSU
• Mankato at Augustana
• Wayne State at Sioux Falls
• Minot St at Northern St

GOTW is surely Mankato at Augie in what might be a playoff eliminator game for the Mavs. Going to be tough for any 3 loss NSIC team to get in. Augie - who has Mankato and Wayne left, could be in an interesting spot should they lose their last two.

There are some scenarios that could really muddy the playoff waters. Some key matchups and even a few sneaky ones that those teams should win, but could definitely stub their toes

I think this week is dare I say - a winnable game for SMSU. Remains to be seen.

The transitive property should be in effect!

We've improved a lot since playing Jamestown too - I don't follow CSP enough to know where they are. I'm picking SMSU in the Pick'ems this week!

Do they publish anything past 10? I'm not remembering. I don't know much about Truman State, but they only have 1 decent game left and that's against 4-5 McKendree, on the road. I'd guess Truman won't get a third loss. I still think there will be quite a bit of movement, with the games that remain for these teams

Their last game is against Winona, 25% chance maybe?

Witt went over the other teams on his NSIC show just now but I can't remember the teams order.

The DUDES Questions of the Week - Has anyone seen Bunny?

Winona St at Mary - Oh how Mary's season could have been different if only they would have hung on against AU. But they didn't.... Does Winona have enough left in the tank? How far is this drive? Winona on the road has not been good. Can they correct it? Is Mary the sleeper team of the year?

Jamestown at MSU Morehead - Jamestown's first look at a D1 QB playing on a D2 squad? Can Strand go for 400+ through the air? Why does he not use his feet more? Honestly, he is a good runner.

Bemidji St at Duluth - Who is going to keep us posted on this game? I shouldn't be interested but I am as Bemidji has been good vs UMD, but it isn't years past BSU teams. How cold is this game going to be? Snow?

Concordia at Southwest MSU - Who wants let out of the basement?

Mankato at Augustana - Not the game I had thought it was going to be. Neither of the two QBs I thought were going to duke it out. Oh well, that is the season. Playoff game for Mankato? Could they knock off AU or fall to 3 losses. I think I had a post about the number of possible three loss teams in the NSIC but didn't get a lot of banter.....

Wayne State at Sioux Falls - Closest game of the week? Wayne has really looked improved as of late. Not the early to mid season Wildcats, that is for sure. USF has looked consistent under the direction of Tate S at QB. How close?

Minot St at Northern St - If this game was in Minot I would have picked them. I cannot as it is at The Bank. Who is on my side now with Britt? I was a day 1 of the season Britt fan but the NSU faithful wanted to play with the new shiny toy in Bagozzi......

Winona to Bismarck is a 8.5 hour ride, 2nd longest road trip for the Warriors. #1 being Minot. Im 6 feet tall and feel cramped on bus seats I don't know how these college athletes do it for this long.

Probably just a lack of needing to usually. When you can spread the ball around to several options it's probably the easier choice. He processes the field well enough and probably figures an simple check down is the better option in most cases than deciding to keep it and take off.

Outside of the Dragons game I think Minot State against Northern State could be interesting. That team has been on the wrong side of the win-loss column a lot but has shown fight the whole way through. Definitely not a squad you can overlook.

For the 5th time in 3 years Minnesota State University and Augustana University will meet on the gridiron. They know each other so well they might be exchanging Christmas cards. Both have had poor performance games and great games. MSU has the motivation to ensure a playoff bid. AU wants to host a game with a perfect season. Weather looks to be chilly and maybe windy. Any thoughts from others. The Dude gave his words.

I went trick or treating at Augie and all they gave me were Almond Joys, Mound's Bars and Zagnuts. They know that I've hated coconut since the age of four so I'm loaded for bear.

Made the trip to Minot a couple of weeks ago . I started thinking about the time spent on the bus for the Minot athletes. I mean they aren’t really close to anyone.
