I'm already on the record saying losing SS Grimsley will hurt their defense worse than losing QB Stick will hurt their offense. (No disrespect to either's replacements intended.)
Robby never seemed to make a mistake and was always there to cover up miscues.
I hope your right! Klieman was very high on Tutsie.

What about on defense? What does NDSU lose?
Return (Starters)
DE-Derek TusckaLB- Jabril Cox
CB- Marquis Bridges
S- James Hendrix
Saw a ton of playing time
DE- Spency Waege
DT- Cole Karcz
DT-Jack Darnell
CB-Josh Hayes
SS-Michael Tutsie
NDSU's biggest questions will be who steps in at LB, the rest is pretty much set.

Well it appears this made the paper the DAY AFTER it was reported... obviously Bubba publicly came clean and should be considered a ROLE MODEL.
Give me a break. Read what I have posted throughout this thread. I never once argued about the posting of it or the time of it. I am discussing that both programs have had issues with players taking illegal things.

I see they promoted their steroid coordinator to offensive coordinator to reward a job well done.
Wasn't Austin Gordon suspended just a year ago for the same thing?

I guess time will tell, you may very well be correct.
Out of curiosity, did you predict the same in 2013?
He's been predicting the Bison to "slip" for years.

"Dictating" you mean suppressing information. Wouldn't want anything bad about the hometown team in the local paper now would we... What would ESPN think? I never used the player's name. Don't attribute that to me.
No more WDAZ. Isn't that dictating?

And there were no opportunities between Thursday and Saturday to report on it??? Inforum is online. Takes minutes to upload a story. Suspension was NEVER disclosed by any Fargo media. Someone surely knew (Dom, Kolpack, McFeely) What gives Tolna?
I'm not saying your wrong? I haven't yet. When I said calling people out, I was speaking about Robbins. I'm arguing thay no program is bullet proof. ND's biggest media market is Fargo, they will dictate everything.

Why did the Fargo media guys not report it all week? Or at all....
Article I read says NDSU found out about it Thursday. Banned stimulant.

Oh, so you WERE making a "ya but" argument. Thought you were offended for being "called out." One guy in eight years!?!? Boy, do you have yellow glasses on. Many arrested, suspensions, etc. Simply not reported by Fargo media (Forum) because they are in bed with the program.
And UND hasn't? Pretty sure you guys has has multiple players dismissed last year. I'm not talking anything about it. Most programs in the nation have issues. 18-22 year old kids make many mistakes. I am speaking specially this situation.

We all know because the reporters did their job and reported. Who supplied Bison players?
Players?
I am struggling here. One guy was suspended in 8 years for this title run in the championship. Must be roids.
Gordon out for the year for UND in 2017, must be roids.
Media, nailed it.

And it was disclosed and reported on by the GF Herald. You are missing the point with your "ya but" response.
Just asking? Before we start calling people out.

I mean, they literally sat on what they knew, finally letting an internet reporter break that one of the players wasn't playing, before they even acknowledged it. Even then they didn't say anything other than the player didn't travel. So yeah, I'm sure they are all over it. Strange how there is so much interest when other teams players or coaches are suspended though...
What's was Austin Gordon suspended a year for?

NDSU has 24 seniors

So then, why didn't CK take Entz with him to K State?
Good question? Same reason CK didn't go with Bohl to Wyoming. Only get so many opportunities to be a head coach in your life.

Not as quick as passing the torch from Hakstol to Berry!
So there are two coaches for the game tomorrow night?
Does CK step down?
Does SU fire CK?
Does CK get in an heated arguement with Entz like he did with Boyle?
Totally different situation. Whole process was handled differently. Bohl's departure was a shock and came out of nowhere. Klieman rumors had been going on ever since Gene Taylor got the job with Snyder's days numbered. Entz and Klieman are from the same town and Klieman brought him to NDSU. What Entz does with this staff will be the most interesting. It's Klieman's job until season is over, but if NDSU wins tomorrow, you better bet Entz will be running the program over break.

We have enough talent on the roster to have made the playoffs but the coaching staff just didn’t get us there.

Has anyone watched Adam Zavalney from Park River play? Kid looks about 6-4, good frame and speed. Could be a nice TE-WR project.
He's a division 1 baseball prospect also. Hear lots of rumors about colleges interested in him. I think he's considered by many the top baseball prospect in the state. 6'4" catcher that swings left handed.

Palendech (? spelling) was another good get. Would have been a good fit for our offense, but left after spring ball with the new coaching staff. He did pretty well at Nevada after that.

I think the dL was affected by the problems at ILB and safety. Could not dial up as much pressure with the inexpenerience/size/athletic ability we had at times at ILb and safety. Pressure creates optimal situations for dl to make big plays too.
Actually doesn’t better defensive line play make it easier on your linebackers and safeties? If they are getting in the backfield and getting pressure, that’s less time tour secondary has to cover? Also if they are penetrating and causing chaos, that’s more the opposing team needs to scheme to block your D-Line which keeps blockers off your linebackers. Allowing them to run and make tackles.

When Stick had to make plays with his arm he struggled mightly. So no, opening it up would not benefit him.
-Made all the plays he needed to beat Iowa last year
-34 and 3 as the starter, 15 wins away from the all time winningest QB in D1 history
But he’s average your right...
Shake my head.. Give me a break, what’s it take to be a good QB? Winning! That’s all that matters bottom line. Yes his supporting cast, system he plays in, defense, etc. are top notch at the FCS level. Look at the side-by-side stats with Wentz, Jensen, and Sticks junior years. Guess whose is the best? Easton Sticks.
For what it’s worth, there’s a lot of great QBs in college football that don’t win anything. Gubrud, Briscoe, Steveler for example. All sitting at home on their couches. Stats are great because the system they play in allows them to put up video game like numbers. Braeden Hanson would of not fit in NDSU offense, he was a statue back there. Hendrickson could of fit it well, even Strudsrud would of been efficient.
A great QB in my mind is about one thing: winning!

Injuries crushed this season. 2018 will be different.
Depth crushed 2017. Both JMU and NDSU have had 15+ injuries.

So the only way UND can win a conference title is if the conference is down? I guess with that mentality the NCC was down throughout the 90's and 2000's. I guess DII was down in 2001 when we won it all. Lets just give up and drop football altogether with that attitude.
Since 2010: Big Sky's highest playoff finishes
2010: Eastern Washington: National Champions
Also playoff teams: Montana St.
2011: Montana semifinals: Lost 31-28 Sam Houston
Also playoff teams: Montana St.
2012: Eastern Washington semifinals: Lost 45-42 Sam Houston
Also playoff teams: Montana St.
2013: Eastern Washington semifinals: Lost 35-31 Towson
Also playoff teams: NAU, SUU, Montana
2014: Eastern Washington quarterfinals: Lost 59-46 Illinois St
Also playoff teams: Montana, Montana St.
2015: Montana 2nd round: Lost 37-6 NDSU
Also playoff teams: SUU
2016: Eastern Washington semifinals: Lost 40-38 Youngstown St.
Also playoff teams: UND, Cal Poly, Weber St
2017: Weber St quarterfinals: Lost 31-28 JMU
Also playoff teams: NAU, SUU
I think the proof is that at the top, the best teams can compete right to the end. My point is the Big Sky, like most conferences in the FCS are very top heavy. It is the same teams knocking at the door each year getting back into the playoffs. Every few years a new team has a good year and makes it. Its the teams that win consistently and find away in that shows the truth strong programs. I don't see any reason why UND shouldn't compete at the top of the Big Sky with the resources they have, facilities they have, and tradition they have. What I my question pertained to does it mean more for UND that one year? Or the conference as a whole? Was it just another year where that one team comes out of no where and then falls back, or is it a program thats going to cement itself as a top 3-4 in conference every year. Even UNI, in the MVFC, which is a solid, not spectacular program. Competes for a playoff bid every year with average facilities and below average resources. They had a ton of injuries this year. Beat teams they should beat, even without their starting QB. They don't loose to that below average team like Indiana St, Missouri St, or SIU. Thats difference. UND shouldn't loose to Portland, Sac St, etc. even on an average year IMO. Maybe I am wrong, and I am fine with that.

I think by going undefeated in conference play just 3 years after winning just 3 games proved something. Even though we lost in the playoffs, getting to where the team was and being crowned conference champions is a great accomplishment.
Does that prove something about UND? Or does it say something about the rest of the Big Sky?

That is false. What's facts are he wasn't even committed to us anymore, and in order to get a QB in this class they need to offer him a scholarship. Losing Lewis to K-State opened it up.
Noland, transfer from Iowa St., fills Van Dellen's scholarship after he transferred last year and brings in competition.
We brought a kid in from Florida last weekend for a visit that had an offer from D2 Voldosta St, but decided to go after Graetz.
Spin it how you want to spin it, with only 4 weekends of visits coming out of the dead period after the national title game you have to move fast. Probably the easiest thing to do is recruit someone, who was once committed and has familiarity with your program then start new.
It's called recruiting. There's a heck of a lot worse that goes on in the world of college football in recruiting than a money war between two schools 70 miles apart.
