I may be wrong but this must be the first week high school athletes can take official visits. Time for recruiting to pick up.

Faison could give himself all the time he needs if he pulls the trigger now.

compare that response in a difficult situation to the one below. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-football/3889465-und-football-big-sky-dumbfounded-fcs-playoff-picks

polisek has went back to pounding the ball instead of trying to showcase Wentz. The FU offense is clicking. Not sure if Stick has to make those throws.

I'm changing the subject. Thoughts on Portland St vs UNI? UNI is probably the hottest team in FCS right now. Most impressive team from yesterday I thought (although their opponent sucked). Portland St. has a chance to keep this season going. I think UNI will be surprised with how athletic PSUs QB is.

can you read? Where did I say they have a better option?

where is the quote that UND would beat every team that played today? i also said he is their best option. UNDs problem against Montana was failure to finish plays by players in position. The Montana QB was playing 500 and throwing it up for grabs.

52 point loss and you pulled off the dogs in that one early. Take you piss yellow glasses off.

I'd call it a pretty accurate description of that game.

agreed. To not take any credit as a coach when you get run off the court in the first 10 minutes is chicken !@#$. He has to go. It's embarrassing. Lots of very good D2 coaches in the area looking for an opportunity.

they won the conference due to taking advantage of a great conference schedule. Not sold on Montana's starting QB. He wasn't impressive week 1 vs the Bison and he wasn't real impressive today. He is their best option at that position though

MVFC fans were thinking the only teams that would beat their league were other MVFC teams.

Yes, WIU looked very competitive in the 52 point loss to NDSU. So they played a hard schedule, it's not like they were competitive in all those games.

arguing the irony of NDSU fans taking the time to come to this board telling is our FBS win this year doesn't count for anything based on record of opponent.

so Wyoming has 80 freshmen on their roster?

is it records or conferences that are important?

what were EIU and WIU's quality wins? Also, one has I love the irony of bison fans now discrediting FBS wins.

a couple teams raised the level of play. Not the entire conference.

I've heard Kolpack and Izzo on the radio multiple times this week crying about the MVFC teams being on the same side of the bracket. Kolpack thinks it's a conspiracy by the NCAA.

Jack Michaels was even making fun of his answers today on his radio show saying the guy talked in circles and wouldn't answer the questions Jack or Pinto was asking. Stated he asked 3 separate times why EIU or WIU and he wouldn't answer or gave three different answers. Laughed at the thought that a team that got beat by 52 can be thought of as a playoff team. I find it funnier that is the coach of the year in the MVFC.

I think it also depends on what the player is doing during that downtime. I'm guessing Studsrud put in a lot of time watching film and getting better even if he wasn't taking snaps.

This. The bowl game is not happening.

I thought about this. I also look at the QB at Montana (Gustofson). We will see how the playoffs shake out for that team but they have been lights out since he got back. With him I thought maybe the same thing where he was able to see how that offense should work from a different perspective. Having said that, hoping they don't lay an egg against SDSU.

Sucks if true. Not sure how he was progressing but he had offers from a good chunk of MVFC schools out of high school. Need to keep developing depth on the OL.

This is key. For years the MVFC only got a couple teams into the tournament and they than raised a fuss about how they were the "best conference" and should get more teams. I believe that is a big reason WIU got in this year and they put 5 teams in last year. The Big Sky needs a couple teams to make a run to prove the quality of football being played. Having some teams go deep into the playoffs or all the way will be a way to petition to get more teams in next season.
