Unreal. Not sure I would want that to be the first impression I made on a new school. Hopefully the kid had something lined up already.

Do you feel better now? Sky is not falling. Give me the o line back, plus the QB and some key skill guys (Deng and Tai plus a few younger guys) and we are in an ok spot on offense.

So are the posts earlier that the sky is falling. The entire process needs to play out start to finish

It would probably help other players as well.

To be honest while these losses hurt, I’m not sure I see one outside of Seidel that cannot be replaced either in the portal or by who is already on the roster.

Google

Of course it’s not true……go back and look who said it.

QB gets a pass…..

I look at what we lose and where we were exposed the last few weeks and we have some work to do. Not putting anything on a pedestal

There is more than one route on that play. He continues to chose that route vs the same defense even though nothing good has come from him throwing it since week 4. Opponents are baiting him into it so it’s as much on him as the OC

He deserved a shot today. You have to be blind to not see how the team rallied when he came in last week. Could have used that today

UND has a lot of work to do with their roster before this happens.

Needed to get Simon a series early. Team rallied last week when he came in and had nothing to lose.

Hoping for an open QB competition and OC competition in spring ball.

Needed to try something different at QB. Could see on the first quarter swing pass to Seidel it was going to be what it’s been the last 8 weeks.

Players need to execute as well. Some very poorly thrown balls today but yes….our play calling was brutal.

Probably the opposite of what your sources said

There are two dents in the north garage door if anyone needs a reminder

Challenge with Jerry running the RPO is he is not a threat if he keeps it. He might gain 7 or 8 where Simon can house one. If that is the offense going forward, Simon being more of a running threat could create more space for Siedel who has been quiet as of late as well. Someone said it earlier but getting all the pieces back this week gives me hope the offense is due for a breakout next week

I’ll take the ugly win. If read option continues to be our offense, Simon has to be the guy next week

Feed him this quarter

There will always be a school willing to move up. Maybe it’s an old NCC school but if we aren’t going to invest in those sports, why does it matter? Attendance will always be the same. For the remaining Summit schools, any additional money NDSU gets from FBS football will filter to these Olympic sports You are also competing for fans across the state, why make that easy The approach from the school needs to be you are competing for students. NDSU isn’t going to do any favors so why make it financially easier?

Well said. And again I would add aligning with the remaining Summit members that it’s off the table if they leave in their own. Not sure how they do it but have to make it a challenge to move on their own. Not having a bus league for Olympic sports makes it nearly impossible.

I will also add that if a football only invite does come for NDSU, the remaining Summit/MVFC members better be ready to push for a vote to remove them from the Summit league. NDSU will still be a competitor so why make it easy for them by providing a bus league for other sports. FBS should be the goal and the quickest path for all of these schools (Dakota) to move is together.

Dom’s intuition may be right but I lean more towards Polosek saw an opportunity to get a raise and some more financial support and pounced and got the school and boosters to up their ante. The details of the raise will be telling
