North Dakota at South Dakota .. starting to believe in these Yotes - their offense is overcoming defensive issues to this point

Central Connecticut State at Youngstown State .. nuff said

Murray State at Missouri State.. vibe is not good in MoST

Indiana State at Liberty .. Liberty putting up some points and at home

Southern Illinois at Southeast Missouri .. vibe is strong at SIU, they will claw their way into top 25 to give MVFC 8 top 25 worthy teams this year. SEMO lost to Dayton last week.

Northern Iowa at Southern Utah .. vibe returning to UNI ??

Illinois State at Eastern Illinois .. this is Bears-Packers Ditka era rivalry, but my Birds have too much defense

Drake at South Dakota State ... nuff said

Indiana state and UNI both lost one possession games. Winners for everyone else

Gentlemen, South Dakota may be for real this year. SPANKED #10 North Dakota 45-7.

For what it's worth rankings wise, the following ranked teams LOST this week (Using FCS Stats rankings:

#9 New Hampshire
#10 North Dakota
#15 Chattanooga
#16 Charleston Southern
#17 Samford
#21 UNI

I could see us moving from 18 to maybe 12-14 in this poll.

The Coyotes very well may have arrived as a team to reckon with in the MVFC. Over the past two years, they've competed in this conference and came up short a few times....but still have beaten us, NDSU, and UNI. This year, they are off to a 3-0 start, winning at FBS Bowling Green, and beating the daylights out of North Dakota.

Ladies and gentlemen, Homecoming may very well be a much much better game than initially perceived.

Was thinking the same thing. Genuinely impressed with how they handled Nort Dakota.
