Projecting the ethical thinking of a true Texan. That SU education working out for you nicely. This board has nothing to do with UND but then again that would require reading.
Really? If you google und football message board what pops up? Perception is a big dose of reality dude!

As the MVFC representative he’s supposed to represent … the MVFC.
He did, he got the xdsu’s on opposing sides of the bracket, potential matchup for the national championship, looks good for the conference as a whole

So Larsen is on the committee to represent NDSU? My gawd are you an idiot. Total Munson
Again douche, Larsen is looking out for ndsu s best interests first and foremost…..he is after all ummmmm ndsu s athletic director
in conclusion I think every ad’s agenda on that committee is looking out for their own schools best interest
is it that hard to comprehend bubbles?

So Matt is a go-along-get-along guy. <— That’s not complementary.
And if the NCAA is behaving as you claim, that’s the opposite of “professional conduct”.
You think the NCAA gives two shits about some small school that took them to court and lost?
professional conduct is out the window with you guys, do you not see that yet?
I think Matt Larson is going to do what’s best for ndsu and ndsu alone, I would hope that you guys feel the same way about chaves, but judging by most posters on here you would rather set him adrift in a leaky boat with no oars in the middle of the Bering sea.

I know some tinfoil hats in here think it’s all Matt Larsons fault Und didn’t get a home game, but I for one truly believe the NCAA is going to put the screws to you guys for as long as they want to.
you don’t just sue the man and expect no repercussions when you lose said lawsuit.
you Sioux forever folks have made your bed and now you bitch because it’s not to your liking.
I for one see Und getting screwed over for many years in NCAA tournament seeding and pairing and actually nothing they do is surprising to anyone out side of el forko grande!
you people can’t even see fit to change the name of your message board, yet cry when the governing body of college athletics thumbs their nose at you.
talk about heads buried in the sand!

I figure anywhere between 6-5 and 8-3. I think 4-7 is really unlikely, and folks predicting that are still stinging from the way the last two games of the season went. Don't blame any of you for that though. MVFC isn't as tough as many like to proclaim. We've proven that already with Top 3 finishes in two of first three years since joining. I expect another Top 3 or 4 finish.
Obviously unlikely to beat NDSU, but wouldn't be shocked given it is in the Alerus. UNI and ISUr should both be winnable, but more likely a split and probably lose the one on the road.
You wouldn’t be shocked if und beat ndsu next year, just because it’s a home game???
that’s some powerful kool-aid your drinking.

matt>vollson
will be fun to watch who ends being a better pro....
Yep you are correct, Matt is better than vollson!!!
i don’t even understand how that kid from Balfour North Dakota was even able to put on a bison uniform and get drafted higher than the anointed one from und. He must have some incriminating photos of the people in charge of all 32 nfl teams!!!
think before you post son, I can understand how you like your guy better because he played for your favorite team, but to blatantly profess him better than a guy that started on a better team and was drafted higher is just silly.
or you may just be trolling, and if so, I swallowed the bait whole.

Yet the Fargo media is druling all over Watson and Volsom and giving them coverage while the best player to come out of the state gets only Herald coverage……..
Pretty sure Christian Watson is the best player coming out of the state!

During the run of the last decade. NDSU has had something like three head coaches, four starting quarterbacks, more than half a dozen coordinators, three presidents(counting an interim), two athletic directors, and a complete turnover of the booster organization leadership, but they've only had one head S&C coach. That's the first clue.
Second, probably no football coach has as much one on one time with the players than the S&C coach. The players are in the weight room most every day of the week, and most are there 10-12 months a year. That is a HUGE amount of one on one time. This is even more true of the first and second year players. Kramer is the one they spend most of their time with during their redshirt year.
Third, Kramer keeps up on modern S&C techniques better than the average S&C coach. He was at the US Olympic Training Center when they completely revamped their training program. He works with Sanford Sports Medicine to bring in new techniques. Kramer, Sanford and science are the reason why NDSU players don't cramp up late in the game, even down south. NDSU is also on the cutting edge of using technology to reduce injuries and fatigue. Many/most NDSU players now have GPS/RFID sensors in their practice uniforms so that their speed and agility can be tracked in real-time. When players start to slow down in a practice(even just 5%-10%), they are pulled and rested. Practice injuries are far more likely to happen when the body begins to get tired. That little drop off in speed is the first indicator. Those are just a couple of the many things NDSU/Kramer/Sanford do behind the scenes to stay at the cutting edge.
Fourth, culture. Whenever NDSU football is talked about, the word that almost always gets brought up is culture. Guess where that culture gets instilled? It's in the weight room every morning and afternoon. Sure, the older players pass it on to the younger players, but it's drilled in and reinforced in the weight room. That's Kramer's doing.
Finally, there's his personality. Kramer pushes the players to push through the pain. To realize they can do more than they think they are capable of. That the pain doesn't have to stop them. NDSU lines play hard. They know they can take the pain because they've done it many times before in the weight room and in practice. When you see opponent's D-lines start to break down against the Bison O-line in the third and fourth quarters, it's not just because of fatigue. It's because the Bison are still willing to hit at 100% power late in the game, while the opponents start to get afraid of the pain and psychologically aren't able to play at 100%. They start to flinch at contact. It's the cause of the "Bison hangover" many teams have the week after playing NDSU. Stig has been pretty open about it. This isn't quite as true as it was in the early part of the run because Bohl, Klieman and Entz all have slightly different styles, but a lot of it is still there.
The amazing thing is that Kramer can do all this without doing it in a mentally/emotionally damaging way. There have been lots of coaches of all types that use unhealthy methods to push their players. Thus far, Kramer appears to understand the line and pushes them in a healthy way. I don't know if I've ever heard a former player bad mouth Kramer. With the unhealthy coaches, you normally get a group that hates them and a group that defends them to the death. I haven't heard about groups of former players that hate Kramer, only those that like and respect him.
Notice that with the exception of the GPS sensors, none of the above is about facilities, money, or the quality of incoming players? I fear the Bison dynasty will end shortly after Kramer's daughters are about to graduate high school and he accepts an FBS job for a lot more money(he's had multiple offers, but his family status has kept him here - divorced with younger daughters living in town with their mother). I have no doubts NDSU will be able to find a replacement that uses cutting edge techniques, or can instill a program culture, or can get the total respect of the players, or can push the players beyond their limits, or can do it in a healthy way, but I don't know if NDSU will be able to find a replacement that can do ALL those things. The third and fourth years after Kramer leaves are going to be very interesting.
Of course this is all my opinion, and it's as an observer to the program not an insider, but I think I'm hitting pretty close to the mark. And I think the NDSU athletic department and coaches must agree since Kramer's salary is right in line with the coordinators, and both Bohl and Klieman asked Kramer to come with them when they left(Bohl reeeeaaaly wanted him).
I’m quite certain both Kramer and his son would take exception to you saying he has two daughters, but the rest of your post seems on point.

Most definitely. The momentum would have been crazy after a win in Grand Forks. Everything would have been different, especially from a confident perspective.
From 5-6 to 10-1, not winning a single conference road game!!!
that seems like an awful big swing on one fourth down mistake that only cost the team three points, but I digress, it’s your scenario.

I agree, it was a seminal moment in that game, the season, for Bubba, and for the program. A win in that game, in that atmosphere, and who knows, we may very well be 10-1 and waiting to see who we host next week.
You serious Clark???
