You were pretty quiet all season. Glad to see you finally ventured back over.

Not sure why Roehl would want to stick around after “not being the guy” to both the AD and the booster$. From everything I have heard if he was not given the head coach job….he was not staying. Will that change? if your Polosek, do you want to retain the guy that players wanted to have your job. Certainly some risk with that if you can’t give him a promotion (position coach to coordinator). Both are in a very tough spot.

I just assumed all the times you mentioned how bad the coaching staff was and should be let go or we are accepting “mediocrity and status quo” you actually meant the entire staff. Cause that has been your message over and over for the last year. Now it’s just the head coach?

Then you get your wish. Love how you are suddenly concerned about UND losing a coach from a staff you have spent an entire year criticizing

Montana deserves to lose. Put 11 up and play for the fake. 3:30 left and Bison only have two timeouts left. What do you think is coming?

But when Roesler does it, or better yet Deboer it’s a great play.

They still found a way. Not sure we are in position to talk !@#$ to a semifinal team and how they got there.

You should start one

If you would read what I posted I was replying to what fixes would be available in the portal. Big, fast dlinemen are going to be just as high in demand as OL. Everyone wants them, even those who don’t know football. Lol. Not likely to be immediate help there but let’s set a false reality on fixing through the portal.

The quickest and potentially easiest path for defensive improvement is through the secondary. Just more of those players out there than big body Dlinemen. I would argue that is as competitive as oline in the portal at this point. need to hit JUCO or sell a D2 guy on opportunities up front.

Really……tell me more

Isn’t the story we are supposed to stick to is it “took his amazing motivation to win with Bubbas guys in Duluth”? Saw the same deer in headlights look on USDs sidelines today.

They are rolling right now. Miller playing at a high level and everyone around him is making plays.

I’d take Robertson back at UND. Had a solid first year. An example of the transfer portal grass not always being greener. Likely cost him two years as a starter

……….1

3…..2….

Maybe his body language was “my shoulder really fucking hurts right now” and you read it wrong.

This is big news. Sky was falling last week. A quiet start to this week and this news mid week is good for the program. Keeping your leader around and the comments from him make me think there is some alignment from those in the locker room that want to stay here.

I don’t think anyone is upset with the kids. I believe the argument against NIL is how sustainable it is year to year, how college sports will be ruined with how this is now tied to recruiting, and the transfer portal being a part of it. Look past the short term financial benefit for athletes of some sports and tell me how sustainable college sports are for all student athletes.

Almost….still couldn’t do it without trying to tie it to UND and it’s football staff.

I’m not sure any finger pointing you can do here are towards the administration. As hard as you want to spin it…..this is on the fans like me and you.

I agree with you and am not sure how well UND would complete. NIL was pushed by the larger states that have the schools that can support it. It’s not good for G5 and lower at any sport. Also, fans can be upset with schools but this one is all in fans. The UND athletic dept is doing what they can, and has a great collective going that gives them and their athletes an option. The big NIL money is all coming from fans and I give credit to Jay for working to get things going for NDSU. I don’t think paying a handful of players is good for a locker room but sitting back with no option is not good either.

The crazy thing will be when (not if) a starter whose team is still playing in FCS playoffs leaves and enters the portal. With early signing day Dec 20th they are potentially leaving money on the table if they wait until January.

Their WRs are making plays and they are playing really good complimentary football. It will be tough for USD to beat them again.

Forgot about Jack. Not sure where he will end up but wish him well and more opportunities.
