Success of the school to the south combined with the watering down of talent in FCS by teams leaving for FBS has ruined my expectations. I wouldn't even be happy with this. Playoff runs almost every year and occasional titles. I understand I'm probably unrealistic tho. Very good post tho, well said.

Players leaving creates opportunities, so who do you hope or think capitalizes the most on the departures of each of these specific players? Quinton Sequin Quinn Urweiler Caleb Nelson Sam Robertson That one RB that left.

But don't you have an extra year of eligibility from COVID? Jk. Really appreciate all the work you did for it.

Tried to learn about him from his profile and couldn't get anywhere, but If he's actually 6'4 and runs 4.4 ...sign me up

Otis is good and I'll miss watching him if he leaves, but IMO Smith is better receiver and already has better vision as a runner. Add in Ziebarth, Skokna, Creighton Mitchell returning. RB is the least of my worries with this team.

I never voted because my expectations are to be better than FCS top 10....every year this time it takes like only one maybe two actual games for ndsu to get to Frisco....tired of this !@#$...

I think no matter where you stand on Bubba or the portal, we can all agree if only EA Sports would restart NCAA Football for playstation/Xbox we'd all be able to tell what the problem is and we'd get our championship eventually.

Using Participation page, which doesn't appear to be 100% accurate. Jaden Norby played 9 games, Ziebarth played 3, McNeal and Schultz played 2. Handful of others played one. So only Norby would have used his this year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Nice. highlight videos look good, but any idea how fast Caden Dennis actually is?

With Nebraska and Northern Arizona, plus the conference schedule here's what I want from game #11....1. at home 2. Against an opponent that UND has a high percentage of winning against.

Good teams have that killer instinct. They can just smell when the game's on the line or its time to put someone away. We just have never had that with a Bubba led team. I want a HC that looks confident all game. Confidence is contagious, but unfortunately so is anxiety and our coach looks like he's shitting bricks all game long.

Anything other than a "deep" playoff run is failure in my mind. Quarterfinals or better. Honestly don't even think that's that high of a bar.

Is there an easy way to do a poll on here? I'm just curious what is considered an acceptable season by some. I might expect too much, but seems like some on here would be happy with 6-5 or a simple one and done playoff appearance.

Best part is the irony of alternating between blasting music and then putting up the quiet please offense at work....

This team still has a lot of potential. It's only one game, and there were multiple factors in the loss, but I just keep asking myself can Bubba win the big game? And my head says no. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Any idea if we'll have any potential recruits at the game? If it was me, I'd maybe have a few that I think are out of our league or we have little chance at, if we lose, they probably weren't coming here anyway, but if we win and it's the amazing atmosphere we know it can be? Maybe they'll decide they wanna come here.

There was fans that stood between the goalposts. Not press. I understand that they want to cash in on the catwalks, but they didn't have anything ready for last week, so they should've just allowed the regular fans to stand there instead of blank empty tables. Looked pretty poor

I think they should have focused on selling out the seats we have before creating new ones. This will just make people trade their current season tickets in for the catwalk tickets if given that option.

You would think they would, but I dug deeper. And in at least the 17-19 years no position is even close to as bad as OL. (Didn't include transfers) DL- 8 of 12 scholarship players still here. LB- 4 of 6 here. S/CB- 10 of 13 RB/WR- 5 of 7

I think OL will be good barring multiple top line injuries. Speaking of OL depth, let's take a look. Only 4 JR/SR on the roster and one's a transfer, how'd we get so thin? Well here's how... 17 Class- 3 scholarships OL, 0 left 18 Class- 5 sch. OL, 2 left (ventrelli/waletzko) 19 Class- 4 sch OL, 1 left (Lavell) 2 PWO (langstaff, neustel) 12 scholarships only 3 left, one unproven, but two pretty good. Imagine if that 2018 class completely missed. On the flip side, look how young we are, hopefully something to build on.

Can we create a covid/vaccine thread for this BS, I'm tired of hearing either side, I just want to talk football. So going over roster, as far as new (to me) names, does anyone have any info or heard anything about these guys? Noah Mack (positively mentioned in the podcast) Connor Arel (GF product.... someone???) Preston Johnson Favian Hudson Also, looking at the 2 deep K/P "depth" and 2nd string OL look a little scary. Trusting recruiting/development on the OL, but still uneasy to be filled with young/unproven guys. K/P should be ok for this year, but after this year then what????

Lickfeldt plays hard, but man I wish he was a little bigger/stronger. Would really help his game.

This class is bound to be smaller given the extra eligibility year so I'm pleased with how it's shaping up so far. Let's close it out with a majority of Hegerle, Larson, Schweigert, a QB (a must every year), RB, WR(if not Hegerle), and a big bad NG.

Looks like around 400 tickets left on ticketmaster. If I counted right anyway.... c'mon people buy em up.
