Hopefully but with Cook having a foot out the door who knows. Regardless of what NDSU does, UND needs to be ready, needs to be thinking about a way to do it regionally or with regional teams. Any FCS teams that have had success moving up have tight footprints for conferences a footprint crossing multiple time zones.

I generally would agree but one can play devils advocate with Montana St coach. Exact same situation and nearly identical announcement.

I just combine portal entries with graduating players and still like where UND is at. A majority of both lines back and QB are so important. I still think the hardest player we have to replace is McNeal at LB

Probably a matter of time. Tough sledding without a regional conference, especially if it’s all sports. Just have to get our house in order and find an opportunity if others move. Better yet if we find a way to do it with regional schools and freeze them out of that conference.

Hell yes…….sky is not falling

Good to see you are still reading the board Dan. Pretty quiet this year.

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
