Gabe, give me a quote or a link where anyone at UND compared the situation to FU?

See the link above. Seems like there are some specifics in there. The UND players were suspended the first regular season games that were played after they were in trouble. Not some extra gassers at practice. Go ahead and keep trying though.

I can't believe I actually went to dig this up but it lays out everything the athletic dept. did pretty openly. Faison even mentioned charges could be filed and additional actions could be taken. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=205687839 The reaction by Faison was a little different than Taylor's "they have suffered enough" reaction. You guys keep trying to justify how your AD and coach tripped over thier dicks with that situation. I'm sure the extra conditioning they had to do taught them that forging signitures was wrong.

I would get a hold of the forum than and ask them. The UND athletic dept. handled this already and will let the rest play out in court to see if anything further needs to happen. Its called getting out in front of the story, not saying "they have already suffered enough" and just waiting for it to pass over.

How about another Wisconsin kid... Logan Neitzke. Hasn't commited anywhere yet but is holding a PWO to UW.

Is this the reason they were suspended for the first regular season game? And that was before it went to trial?

I figure when I read your post a couple days ago on him that it was a longshot. Hopefully this final week goes well. Still some pretty talented high school players that haven't committed. Its been pretty quiet on the recruiting front for the last week.

According to Rivals Jameer Thurman committed to Indiana St. today. Was hoping we could add him to our nice list of Illiniois recruits.

UND has done well recruiting Dickinson prior to the transition. We lost a few during that time. I can assure you Kubik was leanig towards FU the entire time. They were the only school besides Mary to offer $$$, and it was an pretty easy decision on his part when they did. We have a very strong OL class right now and I'm sure that factored into trying to get him as a PWO instead of offering money.

I would hate to lose any of these guys right before signing day. It is going to be interesting to see how the week and a half leading up plays out.

Wow, what a comeback. Down 22 at one time in the first half. We are now up 1 a few minutes into the 2nd half. Really running the offense through Wilmer. Getting him touches and letting him pass out of the post. Team is playing much better team ball right now. Not the same team from early in the game.

Yeah, that is correct. I didn't look it up. Guess I was a year off.

I just tuned in and am ready to tune out. This team is brutal on the road.

A couple solid D-linemen, two safeties and one LB in Schobert Disterhaupt and possibly Norberg. That is who we know of. There are 2-3 commitments we have not put a name to. We won't know how the class is going to look until everyone signs. The most likely to fill spots in defense are going to be the 4 LB's, 3 D-linemen and a couple dbacks who redshirted last fall. There may be a couple freshmen that do not redshirt this year however.

I'd like to see Thuman and Redmond added to this class. Jaried Combs is another guy I was hoping we could add late but I saw he picked up an Iowa St. offer. A couple LB's and this class is complete.

We are deep at WR but I don't think you can pass up WR who appear to be as talented as Carr and Robertson. Both of those guys appear to have the skill set to step in for McGill and Hardin after next year and will give us the burners on the edge to go along with Jackson (who was just named a freshmen All-American) and Fletcher. I think we had to address getting a couple speed guys outside this year.

That would be great if the chest bump was Thurman. Landing Norberg, Aeron Carr and Thurman would be a great way to wrap everything up.

I suppose us and Portland St. are in the same boat. They had a true freshmen QB last year who put up decent numbers, he's their starter next year. We have a couple freshmen who are competing for the starting job and are the favorite going into spring/fall. We'll see how it plays out but the comments make me question his commitment status. Still would love to see him on campus next fall

Great update. Thank you for sharing. I would love to see this guy commit.

Twitter search shows Kyle Ruhe has committed to UND. TE out of Great Oak HS in CA. 6'5" 230lbs.

I think a lot of Miller's lack of production last year was attributed to our offensive line play. We were just to inconsistent. Obviously injuries did not help that but it needs to improve this year. Being able to run will help our freshman qb (whichever one it is), out dramatically next season.

The old scared we might get beat reasoning.

Its going to be tough to get him. He is obviously a big talent. Hopefully the trip went well and Coach Nurse can work some magic. Lots of playing time available at the CB position.

Did you do a survey to find out if there really is more UND fans than FU fans that want the game or are you just basing your opinion on what the 50 people who routinely post of bville think compared to the 50 people who routinely post here think? As Darrell mentioned above, this discussion was brought up by Fargo media yet I love how FU fans somehow spin it that its UND who needs this game. Play 10 games next year or pay someone $300,000 to come to Fargo. We really don't give a !@#$. Any team GT calls for the game holds all the negotiating power if their AD does their homework.

Only way to find out for sure is for Gene to offer which we both know isn't going to happen.
