2008: ??
2007: WSU W 23-0
2006: WSU W 26-21

Our schools have only played each other twice in history.

Obviously UNC is improving and looking to start winning some games. UNC could easily be 4-1 right now.

I don't think there are any teams in our conference that are a guarrenteed win this year.
 
Weber's in for a dogfight this week. I don't know if UNC will win the game, but they won't make it easy for the Wildcats to do so.
 
All accounts are that Weber is the top dog or right at the top of the conference. Seems like the general consensus currently is that it's 1.) Weber 2.) Montana 3.) NAU

I think we are better than our record indicates and I think we played just as well if not better than NAU so I think we have the ability on any given day to play with the best of the conference. Now if we actually do that is another story but I don't think there is any chance of us just rolling over and dying like we might have other years.

I'd say Weber by 14 but I don't think they will blow us out nor do I think we'll lay an egg.

McBride is a really good coach and I don't think they will overlook us but I bet we do surprise them and are better than they expect.

I've always sort of considered Weber the classiest of the Big Sky fan groups so it's been nice to see them take both Montana and Montana State behind the woodshed in consecutive weeks. :)
 
Great win against Idaho St. I love it when the Bengals lose. I am looking forward to the UNC-Bears coming to town. Are any of you fans coming over to the game? I came out to the WSU vs UNC game last year in Greeley and had a GREAT time meeting some of you Bears fans. Also what a beautiful campus you guys have, I was very impressed with Greeley. Especially that little Italian restaurant I went to that was full of college students. What a GREAT time!! Anyway, hope you guys can make it to Ogden for the game.
My un-educated guess is WSU by +17
 
Couple of thoughts:
I'll admit to being partial to NAU being the top in the conference currently, but only because they're playing better defense than anyone else.

ajwildcat - I can say one group of fans will be there: the Pride of the Rockies Marching Band is busing there for the game.
 
Weber State seems to be the best in the conference right now. They've won a couple of pretty impressive games. The Bears have their work cut out for them however, I think getting John Eddy back gave the team a huge lift against ISU. I also like the way Andy Muns ran the ball late in the 4th qtr. And how about DC Wilson, breaking out the way he did. I tend to watch the offensive line a lot and I saw them opening holes for the running backs that were pretty impressive. But, I don't want to get ahead of myself, this will be a tough game for the Bears to win. The team will have to play pretty flawless football.
 
I'm going to Utah for the game. Can't wait to scream my butt off (not freeze it off) again!! One game at a time, one play at a time.
GO BEARS!!!
 
The Bears are improving but they are not in the elite of the conference. Weber is. On the road and I don't like our chances here. I don't think they will get blown out but I can see WSU by 10 - 20 in this one depending on turnovers.

Northern Colorado (1-4, 1-2 Big Sky) at No.18 Weber State (5-2, 3-0 Big Sky), 3:05 p.m.

One of the teams yet to see the fruits of its labor in terms of wins in the Big Sky this season has been Northern Colorado. The Bears have lost three games by a combined total of 10 points.

The Bears will be squaring off with Weber State for just the third time in school history when the two square off Saturday in Ogden, UT. The Wildcats claimed a 23-0 shutout win over the Bears last season, but struggled to get a 26-21 win over the Bears in the inaugural meeting between the two back in 2006.

Northern Colorado, coming off an impressive 29-9 league win over Idaho State, played its most complete game on both sides of the ball in the win. Offensively, the Bears have been solid this season (377 yards per game), especially passing the football, as the Bears boast the nation's 32nd ranked passing attack (246 yards per game).

Quarterback Bryan Waggener (1,229 passing yards, 10 TD's and six interceptions) has been a large factor in that success, while boasting a trio of solid receiving targets in Corey Fauver (19 catches, 15 yards per reception, and two TD's), Ryan Chesla (20 catches,13 yards per catch and one TD) and Brandon Smith (17 catches, 15 yards per catch and a team-best three TD receptions).

The defense has been strong against the run this season (125 yards per game) and has also had some success against the pass (second in Big Sky in pass efficiency defense), and the unit has been led by senior linebacker Christian Sarmento (59 tackles 5.5 tackles-for-loss and four sacks).

Coming off a 35-12 win in Bozeman, MT., the Wildcats showed little sign of having a post-Montana-win hangover. However, with each win, the trap game seems to loom on the horizon, and that's the case against this week against Northern Colorado.

Offensively, the efforts of signal-caller Cameron Higgins (2,121 yards passing, 23 TD's and five interceptions) and Treyvn Smith (647 yards rushing and eight TD's to lead the Big Sky) have certainly been the foundations upon which the league's top-ranked scoring offense (37 points per game) have been centered around.

The defense has played well at times this season, ranking fourth in the Big Sky in yards allowed (349 yards per game) after ranking second in the league in the same category last fall (348 yards per game). Defensive end Kevin Linehan (five sacks) keys one of the league's top pass rushes, while safety Beau Hadley (52 tackles and two interceptions) leads the unit in tackles and interceptions.

Weber State is on a roll and should have the confidence to outlast a hard- working Northern Colorado squad.

Weber State 38, Northern Colorado 24
 
UNC has an opportunity to show their guts. They will not, of course defeat Weber, but they will win more games later, this is just an opportunity to see the difference between the best a conference has to offer and the rest.

Play hard Bears, play hard!

Have fun and I am glad there will be at least 1 or 2 UNC fans along with the Pride of the Rockies.
 
Anybody watched any games this year on BigSkyTv.org?

I've used it once so far this year and i'm glad its free! Must people say it sucks so its good its free this yr. But it was perfect last week, good feed, no issues. They show every conference game live.
 
I just had it on for a couple minutes but that was it, no gliches for that short span of time. I do plan to watch it tomorrow though so hope it works well. I'm not much of a fan of sitting at my desk watching on a computer but it's great to have that option so I'll be there.

It's a pain but if you don't have a laptop, move the desktop into the TV room and have some peeps come over and watch it and its pretty fun. But if there is no sound, make sure to open another browser and tune in to the online radio feed of either UNC or WSU. WSU's is kloradio.com, or just turn on the radio to the game. Also, u can watch other games on the TV at the same time.

BigSkyTV.org will be more worth having come bball season, lots of games to watch.
 
I've used the BigSky TV for the last 3 UNC home games and haven't had any problems with it. I just like the fact that you can see the games. The only bad part about it was that I also saw how they lost the Texas St and Northern Arizona games. Here to seeing an upset against Weber St. Go BEARS!
 
Well, UNC down 7 with the ball in the 3rd quarter and I am off to the Caps-Devils game.

Go Bears!
