Fine, to the original conversation then. You have slow receivers, it’s not a secret, pointing out a time where they happened to not look slow doesn’t change that. So your only point was to talk trash, at least admit it. So I responded in kind.
so if I changed my avatar on this board my opinion would be accepted differently. Same opinion, different name gets a different response? That’s an odd approach to talking football.
UND's WR > NDSU's WR.
Your answer: But Christian Watson blah blah blah. You can tell the kid is a cancer to the team culture and I'll quote this response when he enters the portal.
I'll still with our "slow" WR's.

Who’s denying it? Don’t talk !@#$ when you get your ass kicked, pretty simple rule in life.
I was simply stating a fact. Didn't say UND didn't get rolled that day, but while we are handing out life rules here's one: Don't expect people to take you seriously or like you on a UND message board with "bison" in your name.

No disrespect to your receivers because JMU has done the same thing to NDSU at times, but what does it tell you about the d coordinators opinion on your receivers if he’s willing to do this? It isn’t always as easy at it seems, the receivers have to be able to win those one on one matchups and maybe your O coordinator didn’t think they could.
Just like when Bo Belquist burned Hayes for an easy 6. That's what we need to do!

Players usually aren’t forced out unless there are disciplinary reasons. Sometimes guys are cut from a normal spring roster, but those are usually more of camp bodies than recruited players. The coaches will be frank with guys who are buried on the depth chart. It’s often up to those players to chose if they want to chance all that hard work on possibly never really seeing the field or search for a new opportunity. But for scholarship guys to get cut is very rare.
I agree with this. My mind is wondering though if a majority of our seniors stay, with the next class coming in if they don't cut more kids than usual. If that is the case, I would guess the coaches have enough decency to say hey we are going to cut ya if you don't go in the portal, so just save yourself the embarrassment and get in there.

As a coach trying to do right by a hard working player by getting into the end zone is a fine justification. Add to that what the JMU poster pointed out in terms of history of easing off and it becomes a non issue. It isn’t as if they did an onside kick or threw a long pass play. They ran a running play. Did it need to be done, no. But these unwritten rules of gamesmanship and respect have a massive gray area and are usually only offensive because the losing team is salty about being beat.
No one is particularly mad about it, but there is no denying it's a bad look. I could see Entz doing it (can't say that about the coach before him). As a Bison fan, I can totally understand how you think this way though.

That was the best O-Line in this program in like 20 years; lost an experienced player right before the playoffs and plugged in a Freshman. Even with the Freshman, I don't think there was much of a drop off. If you want to run on programs like NDSU and JMU, it isn't simply the O-Line needs to be better .... O-Line was fine, but you need to be able to stretch the field. If we have a threat over the top, the run game will open up against the good teams, and the floodgates will open against the mediocre ones.
D-Line is talented, just undersized.
To consistently compete with NDSU, SDSU, JMU (Who I consider the three best in the country) this is what we need to improve on and we are there:
1.) Kicking and Punting. Still not sold we have a place kicking game that will hold up when it needs to. Punting well that was atrocious.
2.) Bigger Inside DL. Whether that's finding a couple new dudes or simply packing on the pounds of some of the dudes we have.
Honest to God that is all I see. WRs are deep and plenty talented. Would love to get a true burner that can take the top off, but let's be real, most of those dudes for FBS. Maybe find on in the portal? It can't be a one trick pony type WR though where all he could do was go deep.. That's not hard to pick up on....

fun game...fun season but 7 years later our O-line and D-line aren't up to snuff yet....we'll get there eventually.
How in the hell are you actually complaining about the OL? That's the best products we have seen in years and if you watched any FCS football one of the best in the country. They aren't perfect and probably not the best in the country, but they certainly aren't worth complaining about. Waletzko is probably going to the league.....

A back like James J would've been invaluable yesterday.
James had zero vision. Otis can do everything James could do and then some. No disrespect to JJ, but he might be the most overrated player we've had in the last 10 years.

JMU was a more complete team, there is no way around that. UND competed, but take away the two INTs and it's obviously a much closer game. We aren't where we need to be yet, but we are dang close. Remember this is a team that got their a** whopped by Niccolls.......
As I have said many times, this program is improving everyday and that is all we as fans can ask for.

JMU 31 - UND 13
Until we win a big one on the road......I can't.

Easy to say that now. With UND's past in the playoffs and not playing a live game for 5 weeks, I see why he was in. Also, teams typically don't pull starters until the 4th quarter at any level...........

Otis legit has the build of an NFL running back. If they don't think that, they must not watch much football on Sundays

Fingers crossed.
Kid from Canada is more of a Ritcher type kid from what I see. Owens has a chance.

He sure has turned the special teams around! I am really happy for him and another reminder why you don't fire someone because of short term struggles.
This is probably the first time in 20 years or so that I genuinely think we have a superb staff. Hopefully they all stay around awhile!

I'm not saying what we are doing offensively is perfect, but watching this compared to Rudy's run, run, pass, punt offense is much improved. The amount of looks and motions UND uses to disguise things is enough to give a DC enough to chew on. Now, I do think if we implemented more QB running we would be even tougher.

I was thinking that on Saturday when Quincy should have been getting reps. The game was in hand. Missery st had given in. He could have had an entire quarter. Kids don’t forget that stuff.
Plus, one of his best friends just left the program.
-
Well and to piggy back off of that, I would have liked to see Quincy in there simply for the fact that Tommy is valuable to this team. Comparing him to our QBs in the past, he isn't going to lose us the game with poor decisions and getting greedy him his arm. He knows what he is capable of and knows what each play demands of him. That being said, he might not be a four year starter, but he's pretty damn good for a freshman.

Who replaces Bo
what changes, if anything, in how our offense is run
ugh
I absolutely love everything about Bo. His skillset, tenacity, the fact his dad was a Bizon and NDSU was too ignorant to recruit him, etc. BUT WR is maybe the one position we can spare to lose a guy. Does Cocheran show up and shine? Do we see more Preston?

It’ll be interesting to see how Feeney fits into this whole picture. From my understanding he’s the next big thing to come to UND. Maybe HE does a redshirt year to declutter the QBs a bit? Or does Quincy move to a tight end or WR? Takes Boltmans place after he graduates.
With the current state of affairs in the NCAA, I would bet Quincy transfers this year.

Getting Sproles back and an incoming Bryce Lance should help their WR core.
Hot take: Sproles isn't that great. If his last name was something different, people wouldn't talk about him so much.

To be fair to Kenny, he was loyal to the coaching staff that recruited him. I think he would have stayed if the staff hadn't been gutted.
I completely agree with this. I do think with the coaches leaving it is a different situation

According to their message board they don't seem to worried about this game. Corners are so good they won't need help. Fans on this site are in full meltdown over Hergal leaving. UND throws those "Silly" 3 yard routes that don't do much.
I hope this is the belief of their team as well. As a coach, when a team like UND has shown no real tendencies and spread the ball out to so many different dudes, how do you not worry? Plus, when we go Maeg, Ritcher, Zavalney, that's some serious size of pass catchers as well. I didn't even mention Otis and Skok.....

I'm not taking him out of the conversation I just knew that you would mention him instantly. Throw him in there and I'll still take UND's group over NDSU's. MooU wanted Richter, he choose UND. Maeg would start for NDSU and steal targets from your boy. Didn't even mention Belquist, who as I stated earlier, was able to burn the dude that your squad thinks was the best DB in the FCS......
