THEM: 38-US 21

That's the ultimate issue with recruiting. You're a kid living in a significantly better climate than ND. You are good at football. If you decide to play in ND and suffer the hellish weather for 6 months of the year, do you go to the school that hasn't won a playoff game or the one that has won 6 titles.

In light of the current salary structure and the sad truth that this is not the top job in our state much less conference, who would really want it? I agree that it's important to nab an SU assistant to become a coordinator.

Bolt. Seems they want to save Schusters RS.

Same. Not sure where this is going, but I still don't feel better about this program.

Can we soon bury the idea that a 3-4 Defense is the way to go when your NG is 270? They were cut like a hot knife through butter whenever EWU needed a big play.

He apparently wasn't good enough to come here. As in, not as good as the guys they usually recruit. Like the ones today.

I"ve officially joined UND FB Fan. Let the heads roll!

Adam Thielen?

I think I saw 28 catch a pass out of the backfield. He's back??

I'm guessing you're part of the problem too. PS-I didn't see anything about the quote. They are NOT season defining any more than the Bison game was. It's a true statement. But I'm part of the problem with my low expectations too.

I agree that we shouldn't condone it, and if a kid is like the ones you saw who couldn't walk, they shouldn't be at the game. But I enjoyed a few before the game when I was that age. Didn't seem to have the cop presence at old Memorial but maybe my memory is fuzzy.

College kids need to vote.

There was a significant police presence this week. Has it always been like that? I guess I never realized 6 or more cops were there before.

As to the QBs missing high, gotta think the kid was full of adrenaline and just amped up on some of those. Also, agree that the OL did well most of the game in protection, but at times Tommy had to get rid of it fast. That may have caused some of those high passes too.

. The bold part is, as you put it, their kryptonite. It's been kryptonite for years. Imagine a D that does all that it does, AND stops the running QB on 3rd down. Just so deflating to get a 3rd and long only to have a mobile QB run through the D many times without being touched for 7/8 yards.

Guy sitting behind me thought he was simply following instructions from the sideline. That he was NOT to touch that ball for fear of a fumble.

And it's why I asked the question: Figured people smarter than me would know.

Watched his Hudl and he hits a guy, the guy goes backwards. Is he fast enough for MVC?

I was there 82-90 with a year off in between. Went to many Bison games and we sucked. Saw the Mooney game on TV and that was all the difference in the rivalry. Still have a T-shirt that says "The Fargodome-the Bison built it, the Sioux own it." We'd won I don't know how many games there. I don't care about anything else except shutting their fat mouths. I'm sick of their sh1t and can't take it anymore.

Not sure I'd say, he doesn't want them, but that UND doesn't get them. Cochran looks like that type. One example.

I agree. Can't remember what Saban is getting at Bama, but I recall seeing an article that said that he brings in more than he's paid. That is, students, and research dollars and just the notoriety. UND can do the same. Lots of money going into the Aviation department and rightly so. Need more of that around the campus and especially sports.

I agree with that. Very good points. Of course, they will say that alums like us should be giving more

The implication is always there. No ONE on this board is satisfied with what is happening now. NO ONE. The fact that we all don't call for the coach's head doesn't mean we don't care, nor does it mean you and others care more. We understand the situation and don't like it. But please tell me you understand that a new HC doesn't automatically bridge the gap between us and them.

I've stopped being surprised that some think they care more than the rest of us. We all want this football team to be successful. We all want playoffs, but because we don't constantly bi&th about it, some posters here take it that we don't care. Today sucked and the team sucked and it reminds me of the 80s when I went to UND and the team sucked and I'm sick of it.
