Dom Izzo is part of the marketing dept at NDSU. See, stellar Brock Robbins reporting last January.

I didn't think this forum could get any sillier. Congrats gentlemen, (you know who you are) you have proven me wrong. The past 72 hours have been phenomenal.

Of course it will. Best way to make the case is to beat the Bison. UND has played the Bison once in their run. 34-9 in 2015. Lopsided is a good observation, but you do realize its been lopsided against most of the FCS field. 7 of 8 national titles. Never been done at any level of football. Not an excuse, but important to remember. Unprecedented. The proximity to Fargo can only be used for one argument: It can be done in North Dakota. The Bison have proven that. Also important to note that a football program has approximately 100 members at any given time. 63 full scholarship equivalents in FCS. There are a LOT of great football players out there. Yes, the Bison are getting who they want right now, but it doesn't mean they have EVERY game changer at EVERY position. Prospects DO take UND seriously. The only thing in your statement I disagree with. School DOES have role at times, but UND over NDSU on that is somewhat thin. (Sorry UND grads.) Biggest factor is head-to-head. From now until "whenever" UND v. NDSU will happen every year. Best scenario to change the dynamic. Tempting to view everything UND does with Bison glasses since they have become the standard. But that is dangerous as well. We all need to step back and remember the drought v. Bison in the 80's and 90's. Different time, different standard, but still relevant. It will not happen overnight, but a win v. Bison WILL happen. And the momentum it builds will feel great.

Welcome to the world of 18-22 year olds. Real life raises its ugly head. These guys are more than just jerseys on the field on Saturday performing for our enjoyment.

Harsh? I made an observation and asked criteria. Isn't that the formula?

Humm. Are you confusing the NFL draft with college football recruiting? "First commit " does not mean highest talent, priority. Not sure what any of this means. Are you going to give us the history of the last commits too?

The lady doth protest too much, me thinks.

Satter is a great kid but PWO at either school. (Because of position he plays) UND offers to force SU's hand on legacy recruit. It's that simple. And how the game is played. Satter Family can thank UND.

Yes oh great NFP mind. Because the last time I checked, NFL offenses use screens like .001 percent of the time. Really hampered John's NFL career.

How many All-Conference and All- American honors did John and Brady have? Hardly "squandered." Now, the career of a backup kicker in the 90's...that was squandered.

I guess anyone who calls you out for being the bratty fair weather fan that you are is an asshat. Go put your Bison !@#$ on on and go fiddle yourself

Stevie's not a real fan

Well then Thelma, why don't you grab Louise, hop in the convertible, and you know the rest..... MOST INACCURATE MONIKER EVER!!!!!!

Having heavy family ties is the only way you ever get laid.

In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

And.....we move into commenting on psychology.

Stay in Bismarck dude.

Who gives a sh&* how the pics were inserted? You and the other 10 losers on this site. My point was made.

I have no idea what that means. As a moderator of this forum, I hold you and others accountable for the damaging effects this forum has on the reputation of the University, its executives and staff, as well as its athletes. It's all BS. Baseless, anonymous opinions laid out for all to see from individuals who would never take the time to seek facts. Always without rationale or context and very often out of touch with reality. "Discussion" you say. Well, even in the old days of "shooting the s*&t at the coffee shop we knew who the speaker ie perpetrator was so there was some accountability. On this forum, and countless others like it, ZERO accountability for what is being said. Meaningless drivel. If you want to run someone's reputation into the dirt for entertainment's sake, show your face. That's all I'm saying. Otherwise, you ARE sitting in your mom's basement at your keyboard. This site does absolutely nothing to promote progress, change, etc. at the University of North Dakota. NOTHING. Often it negligently promotes falsehoods about the University that if taken seriously could be damaging. One can only hope that, like me, the source and context of what is being said is considered.

You are assuming there is something here to win. Anonymous posters discussing the credibility of personnel, athletes, etc. Hardly a format for winners. ( I get the irony, save your vitriol). The only thing lesser than the influence of this forum is it's accountability.

Why contribute? All the meaningful dialogue from ND's most influential has already taken place.

And my point is proven. Middle School raises it's ugly head. Why don't you guys get out of mom's basement and get a job?

Here's what siouxsports posters see when they are in a discussion: Here's what the rest of the world sees:

The whole world looks beige when you were only the backup kicker.
