Longtime fan

First ….f&?@ ndsu Glad they are gone. Tough to go to any game that their fans are involved. Won’t miss them a bit. Now. They have dominated this level for decade and half. Can’t prove anything more. But for the life of me I cannot understand why schools move up to the fbs? There is chance to to ever win a championship again. They will have the pleasure of playing in the carpet cleaner bowl!! Big time? The only positive IMO is when it comes to recruiting they will be winning a lot of battles with local recruits. Imo they will start winning the battles over the gophers with twin cities recruits and possibly badger’s for some Wisconsin recruits. The mountain is almost on the same level of play as the Mvfc so I see no reason why they couldn’t be a constant 10 win team. Boise is about the only perennial contender….the rest are nobodies. Fargo will be super excited to be hosting UTEP and Wyomings of the world. Zero rivals. Finally…the cost !!?! The travel alone would drain most schools budget . They have to pay up massively for hosting. The cost of additional 23 + players and the ridiculous NIL program. All that money wasted to never win another championship. Just play in the dirty crumb bowl Has moving up really helped Appalachian st ? Coastal Carolina ? Sam Houston? Georgia southern ? Etc. What have been the benefits? I just don’t get it . To go 10-2 or 11-1 and then travel to Greenberg Missouri to play in the cat litter bowl does not create buzz or add any benefits. Just adds to plane bill. Wondering if there will be another one or two local schools leaving next year to join? I just can’t see UND getting an invite. Most likely sdsu….and/or sdsu msu and Montana With that said I do not want UND to venture into that. Nothing to gain everything to lose. In the end. Good riddance

UND likes to regurgitate the same guys Anyone know why Rodgers didn’t take Danny with to Iowa ? Recruited him to sdsu and took him with to Washington

Looking like Illinois st vs Montana st for gold Illinois st 9-1 on the road 3-3 at home . Only road loss is Oklahoma. gotta go with Montana st and the local ties

Because money talked . You don’t think he got paid a significant amount? UND isn’t able to pay all their athletes like the fbs schools? Und paid up big time for Rucker

Play them when you have them. Because money is talking

To go along with Cook and James. Those two WRs look to be an explosive duo. Use them when we have them since portal mania is in full effect.

Well I’m no boy. Not “hinting” a thing.

Just did some research on the recruits. Fantastic job by the coaches. Have to say I’m most excited about Hendrickson. Have always had a “thing “ for southpaw qbs . He has above average football IQ and athleticism while playing under control. He has “IT” I believe. Looks like a couple great WR prospects as well. Und needs to load up big time at that position. Could this group of recruits be the group that change und football ? Difference making !

Love watching teams where the OC can outsmart the DC and not just run the same 4 plays over and over and over again. This time of the year is really fun to watch

Huge news ! Lance and Kaden will be one of …if not the top ..edge rusher units in fcs next year. What a combination!

When watching the 8 remaining teams today and Friday night ….I tried my best as to what und starter could start over another player at the same position. Jerry wouldn’t start on any of the 8 remaining teams. Can’t see Sawyer starting for anyone other than maybe Davis? Doubt it tho. WRs nope! Not even close. TEs no clue as I’m not sure und has any . OL …possibly a couple? Of course the OC is just a complete mess. That’s a complete overhaul to compete for gold

WRs are a must! Und has been stacked against heavy in the box for far too many years.

Zero team play with these new ways. There is definitely an “I” in team with these type of players. Sickening

Depending on the recruits next year ….und isn’t close on the offensive side. Watching all the teams in the qtrs it’s beyond obvious und doesn’t have the talent to take the next step offensively. Again… that’s dependent on what the recruiting class brings in. Believe Schmidt can bring in some talent but it needs to be a total and complete overhaul offensively…including OC …for und to be considered a championship contender. Und witnessed what they are capable offensively the last 6 weeks of the year against competent teams.
