Mollberg good for a pick or two every game?

My cousin is getting married today too. Five o clock which also cuts into watching the game. Interesting enough they are getting married on the UND campus.

In all seriousness, UND should (cough cough) win this game. As its probably the last realistic chance UND has for a win this season I feel.

Idaho State is licking its chops.

I know why threads are archived as we went over this before. But one could make a good argument for why one should not archive threads. Grand Forks is once again discussing building a new library and will probably have another vote. I think it would have been beneficial for new members to be able to read that thread in addition to another thread...granted one could just link to it or copy the other talking points. Oh and I was going to say thanks MafiaMan for "taking SiouxSports to the next level" in the thread I started a while back but it's also locked so I will say thanks here .

Well this thread got off track quickly.

I wouldn't either, luckily i live in town and not Williston like you...Dakota Dan lives in Williston and I already have enough time convincing him to make the same drive to watch this sad blowouts that are over after 20 Minutes. If it wasn't for tailgating I might not go either...well that and I keep my mom company.

"look we are improving....we won a game against a team with scholarships...next year will get better...we are young...we have injuries. We are competing and getting better every game!" hahahaha

If I were to guess college athletics has more money rolling into it than the NFL and NBA combined. And that might just be at the Division I level. If you ask me some of those big football programs have so much money coming into their hands they don't know what to do with it! You can't pay Nick Sabin much more money because isn't his contract greater than some NFL coaches? They really want to pay players. You could argue a future star in the NFL or basketball has a lot to lose by taking a chance in college athletics and they are now recruiting against the major leagues (Lebron James vs the Michael Jordan types). And with these new tv network college athletics money deals that never really existed before say ten to 20 years ago, they are seeing huge increases in revenue. In the future it will no longer be how many scholarships can you afford to offer but how much money can you afford to offer.

And in the future that stipend could really grow from the say $2,000 to $10,000. And High School kids might rather be backups on FBS teams to FCS teams ensuring a greater gap so if those higher and lower division teams still play every now and then. The FBS teams won't get embarrassed by losing. They are noticing the scholarship discrepancy isn't enough.

And Bill Belichick.

Or not diving right by the punt catch man because you "assumed" he called fair catch?

"Basic Fundamentals" like letting the punt catch man actually catch the ball before you slobber him?

The paper bag is better than boycotting the program....I sat through both of the Montana games, every last second. And will be there every second of every game the rest of the season too! I might not be enjoying it but I will be there! Cause when UND is at the top again it will feel that much sweeter.

People this year I got to chat with that stopped by to say they liked my table: Jeff Panzer, Nick Mattson, and Joe Mollbergs dad. Joe Mollbergs dad saw my calendar and wanted to get one for his son....and that's how I found out I was talking to Joe Mollbergs dad, Kent.

And that's probably why these two blowout losses probably mean so much to us fans. Not only the way UND lost but who it was too.

Serious answer...what made UND good over the years. It was trying to keep pace with NDSU. They were winning championships in the 80s and UND had to keep up. Luckily for UND, NDSU was on the top of the division for most of the decade. If UNDs main rivalry was St Cloud or Augustana....well you know the rest. Why does western ND high school suck at hockey? Or should we ask why is the east so good? The east competes and tries to keep up with Minnesota. While the west tries to keep up with the east. What makes the SEC great at football?

Beer Air Hockey on my old Sioux Table.

Relax Wine...cause the chicks dig it lol

I pulled my black cargo trailer to phi delt (it's closed for another week or so) and tailgated Saturday after the football game cause it was already was hooked up. Worked out pretty good. Heck I might do it Monday too for the FU game.

Seventy point against will never happen....only cause other teams put in all their backup players at halftime

I showed Jeff Panzer. He thought they were cool and remembered reading about them here once I showed him mine.

Mine debuted a little tailgating at UND this weekend...then it got to hot...but kept my head dry for a lil bit when I ventured out from under the awning.

Yeah I saw MSU set up. I saw it Friday night and posted about it on the prediction thread...rain definitely put a damper on tailgating...I think the "student tailgating" section was empty.

We need to start an endowment not for student scholarships but to ensure a football head coach is paid really well....and shoot real high. UND is getting over $200,00 a year in "free money" from Midco that the program never had before!
