  1. I think an NDSU move to the Missouri Valley in all sports is more likely than either the Sun Belt or Big Sky. The Indiana State media have been saying all along that the MVC should add NDSU, and now they say there may be some movement among the conference schools that it may be a good idea. They are afraid that with the football success that NDSU is having that they are becoming more attractive to FBS conferences (like the MWC or MAC) and that the window may be closing to get them in the MVC. NDSU has powerful allies in the MVC, like both ISU's, and UNI. They just would probably have to find a private, non-football school to go with them, possibly ORU or Denver. .

    You have a link to the Indiana St media story or the traction it's gaining?

  2. One needs to drive by the construction site to realize how massive this building is actually going to be. Very, very excited to see the finished product.

    Took your advice and drove by yesterday afternoon before the hockey game. That is one impressive building footprint.

  3. The MVFC is the best in the FCS.  They had a point in not getting teams in.  I don't agree that they should automatically get 4-5 teams in but if any other conference gets 4 then they should likely too unless a team has 5+ losses.  Big Sky is maybe 3rd best I'd say.

     

    The MVFC may only finish with 3 teams with less than 5 losses.  And I'm not sure SDSU can afford to lose 2 more with one of their wins being vs. Oshgosh College.  Wouldn't be surprised to see 2 in from the MVFC after the season shakes out.  FU and Illinois St. 

  4. 2-deep changes after the bye week from PSU game:

     

    Stockwell replaces Cox as #2 at LT

    Henson now listed as #2 Center, replacing Francis (Henson still starting RG)

    Walker listed as #2 at the WR-X, replacing injured McGill

    Young listed as #2 at the WR-Z replacing Seibel

    Seibel listed as the #1 at WR-B and Ivery listed as #2 replacing McGill/Walker from last week

     

    Seibel listed as #2 PR replacing McGill

    Walker moves up to the #1 KR from #2, replacing McGill with Tillman moving into the #2 spot.

     

    No changes on the Defensive side of the ball.

    Glad to see Stockwell back to health.  Hoping he gets some minutes in the last half of the season. 

     

    I'm guessing we have reached the point where the coaching staff has realized pulling Francis' redshirt is not worth it.  Hoping he has a good offseason and works into the rotation next year.

     

    Young is going to get his shot to again show he is a legitimate WR for us.  Hoping he has a good last half of the season.

  5. watched the entire sdsu-uni game saturday night. both are good teams. UNI is an undisciplined bunch.

    edit: no, I don't have anything better to do.

    All 3 qbs that played looked JV. Neither team looked good. Both would beat UND due to our lack if offense. UNI isn't making the playoffs and SDSU maybe wins a game if they get in. I could see them losing 2-3 more games.

    Edit: to be fair to SDSU I have no idea when Sumner gets back and that could change the offense.

  6. Coming off a buy I expect the team to be focused but with a huge matchup against EWU the following week and a SUU team hungry for a win it could be an interssting week.

    Remember the trip for the MBB team to Utah last season.

  7. Rooney appears to have committed. He just tweeted half hour ago that he is officially a member of the University of North Dakota football family. Welcome to the family!

    Welcome to UND.

  8. "High-Character"

    "Heart"

    "Dignity"

    "Class"

    Jimbo Fisher describing Florida State football immediately after last night's game.

    That was about the third time I heard Jimbo say that in an interview the last few weeks. I thought coach, if you need to keep saying it, it's probably not true. That was funny.

  9. Anyone else feel a lot better about playing EWU when they squeak by UNC? We can beat them!!

    I feel good about how the remaining schedule plays out. We could get EWU at the right time and also have Weber and NAU at home. Besides EWU those will be the most challenging games.

  10. And spread the rest of the general public out? I'd completely understand taking student sections away if there was demand for them, but there just isn't enough demand in grand forks to justify it. Those sections that you propose moving are rarely full anyways.. And for the most part, the sections on the 50 are more full for students as opposed to the ones off to the side.

    You move us down you also take away us heckling the players on the bench too. I suppose you probably dont care about that at all, but that is part of the fun for us.

    I agree with this. There are open seats in the 40 yard line, same side. Once attendance increases enough that those sections are full, the discussion can be had with the students. Perhaps give the students the lower section on the 50 and other 40 yard line and the general public the upper.

    Now is not the time to do anything that could push students away.

  11. So who are the top recruits in this class? Not necessarily highest rated by rivals et al but who are the best players so far that we have committed?

    Welcome them all. I think Grady from New Town is a solid player.
