NDRA

NDAC opens at 7.5 favorites

A lot of good points there but the basic question still stands. Who thought hiring a career .500 coach was the answer?

Very good point. Who the hell in Admin thought he was the guy to take over this program. "The Monopoly is Over"!!

Don't think the Case flip was some big loss. I believe he ended up transferring again to a D2 school in Missouri.

All the way to Grassy Butte.

Sagarin showing about a 17 point difference. Guessing line will be close. We'll see.

What exactly are coaches and team celebrating?

I know it's early in the year but presently Boise St and SDSU are only 3 spots apart in the Sagarin rankings.

Are many from GF expected at the game?

Not trying to pile on, should have made my point better. Probably should have said..Who in the Athletic Dept thought that hiring a coach with a 500 winning percentage was the right guy to lead the program into the future?

Agree. What happened to "The Monopoly is over". #BubbaBall

Looked on the Rivals sight. He's not listed in the top 25 of Wisconsin. According to them only other offer is Sioux Falls.

My point was that he says UND has to better at many things. Recruiting being a key area. He has a valid point if you ask me. As far as everything else.. I'm Switzerland.

He did mention recruiting and it seems like the school to the south is getting the commits they want, so he has that going for his arguement. Also, according to the Fargo Forum most of those recruits have bigger offers.

Well damn. When is it gonna start as it looks like the top talent in the state is going south. I know they messed up on Belquist but it seems like the pattern is continuing?

Is the Wiki recruiting site no longer active?

Weren't most of the Missouri State just 1 yr transfers or am I misremembering?

Did anyone ever post any results/times from pro day?

Wondering the same. Any results posted somewhere?

I thought someone here posted that he was in private practice now?

I for one agree with most of your statements on the program. The school to the south also does a lot of hiring from within, deference is that they've been winning and have proven that it works for them. Here, not so much.

You are not wrong. They do it as well as anybody.

More like 10 yrs at least. Stig is 194-112. Quite a little better than Bubba's career winning Pct.

Only one ND kid?

Bingo. One has to look no further than the 2023 commit list. Very few with offers other than D2 schools, just one or two with offers from other MVFC teams. I know offers aren't everything but it certainly has to make a difference if other FCS or even FBS teams are looking at these players.
