Re: Western Illinois

So...what to the "experts" say about this game? Too early in the week to know? Is there a line? (There isn't that I can find.) I'm VERY curious.

Re: Western Illinois

Like I said, I have to look it up every single time I have to type it. Seems like it SHOULD have two n's in it.

If it makes it any better, I once wrote, in a brief that was published in the newspaper, about a dairy princess who was making "pubic" appearances.

Has a med student I once described a patients leg wound as foul smelling with pus*y (s instead of *) discharge. I was instructed to use purulent from that day forward.

Hoisted on my own petard...thanks (I guess) JJ. Apologies to anybody I upset in any way, shape or form!

Re: Western Illinois

This is not intended to pick on anybody, but it would seem like this might be the right thread to point out the proper spelling of Kyle Minnett's name.

Except isn't it Minett? With one "N" and not two? You had me freaking out since I just spelled his name for a graphic on the Stig Show recently. For some reason, the spelling of Kyle's last name is a particularly hard one for me to remember.

It's Minett... according to the roster at gojacks.com, anyway:

I picture your monitor as having red pen/marker all over it. :-) This is meant to be funny and not a slam for you correcting the spelling.

My name is rarely spelled right. That doesn't excuse me for spelling Minnett wrong but I'm not about to lose sleep over it. I'd go into a long discourse about the truly important things in life but..........

Now, for the game, I can't wait see the guys hit the field again Saturday. I kind of like the open area to the north of the stadium. It was great to watch last years NDSU game on the video screen and see our flags blowing in the breeze while seated in the stadium. I expect a better contest from Western Illinois. They aren't going to take us lightly. That being said, we should handle them at home.

Re: Western Illinois

Anyone know if Western is flying or driving for the game? That would factor in. It's a long drive from Illinois - 7 hours? I know the drives up to UND back in the day had an effect on the games.

UND was a piece of cake....I remember UNC....Bus out there and wonder why we didn't play well.

P. S. This is not intended to pick on anybody, but it would seem like this might be the right thread to point out the proper spelling of Kyle Minnett's name. I know, it is the journalist in me, but nobody really likes to see their name misspelled. Being an old f*-#t, I know with texting etc. lots of things are shortened, I just still believe in the importance of people's names. End of sermon...sorry!

Re: Western Illinois

Well, if it will help MJA, I think we are the better team coming in as well...and like you say, that's not smack talk. Your recollection of last year's game is correct...we were there. Indeed, Berry had a tough game, but he picked it up later and a year has gone by. I look for us to be very solid Saturday. If Western is solid also, it will be a tight game IMHO.

Re: Western Illinois

From my memory of last year's game, Berry's first game at QB had alot to do with the outcome. He was hit hard on a couple option plays early on in last year's game and played a little gunshy after that. He missed a couple of WR's down the sidelines at various points in the game and one that was a sure touchdown if he had put it on the money. Also, as alluded to, the sophmore QB came in a picked up big runs whenever we had their backs up against the wall. I thought on several occasions we were going to pull away in last year's game only to have some momentum killer stop us. Our passing game struggled last year and they keyed on the run making it difficult for us to get anything going offensively. The whole game felt like watching a car run with cylinder missing. Lot's of herky jerky flow to the offense. The D played well, but kept giving up the big run by the QB. If I remember correctly, the game ended on an INT by Berry? If I'm wrong there, I apologize.

I look for our passing game to be very effective this year. I think Berry will have another great day. Harris was the main guy being overthrown last year. I think he'll catch a couple of those this year. I don't think their QB will catch us off guard this year, either. I think they will have trouble moving the ball against us. I don't want to be too optimistic, but I really like our chances in this game. I think we are the better team coming in. (Man I feel like an NDSU fan saying that - no smack or offense intended)
