If either of the freshmen can play I'm all for it. I've heard enough good things about both that I am pretty excited. However, after the season Hanson had, UND could realistically come into the conversation of a FBS looking to transfer. If the phone rings, the coaches at least have to answer. Maybe a transfer qb could bring a DB buddy with him.

Thats what I first thought but I think Georgia Southern will try and control the clock with their offense. They aren't going to get stopped too many times so as long as they don't break any big ones, I think its low scoring.

He could play right away if he transfers to an FCS school. FBS-->FCS= no year long wait.

How do you figure?

Are you referring to the Summit league or United States Hockey League? You have to be specific, both use the same branding strategy.

Women got another win last night against Air Force 76-42. Nice job ladies.

I agree with some of the guys above. FU's defense and playing in the dome will be too much for Wofford to overcome. I think Wofford's D gives FU's offense a hard time for awhile but runs out of gas after being on the field all game. I'll say 24-7. Old Dominion beat Georgia Southern. Two below average defenses vs. some good offenses. Again I'll give the edge to homefield. 28-17 Old Dominion.

I think EWU wins by 14+. Last weekend was a wakeup call for them after overlooking an oppenent they figured they would beat easily. MSU is in for a bigger challenge. That is easily the game of the week. I thought last year that if the Sam Houston game vs. Montana would have been in Montana, it would have been FU vs. Montana in the championship. I don't feel any different here as I feel home field will be the difference maker. I'll take MSU by 7.

I wonder what the FU Bison Badger fan that regularly posts about the Bison the Badgers on this board thinks of this. Seems like he only shows up when FU does well or there is UND vs. FU talk.

You know, a great idea to boost the image of the WAC would be to rename those schools. Phoenix University, Edinburg University, Orem University, and Chicago St. go well with University of Seattle. Its a great concept developed by the Northern Baseball League, United States Hockey League and the Summit league. I'm almost certain they would let them borrow it.

You mean 3 guys all from the same state all "leave the team" in the same week and the head coach basically says he doesn't give a !@#$ when asked about it doesn't pass the sniff test. Weird.

I've heard some good things about Layne Johs out of Bismarck High and his interest in UND. Out of all the kids from North Dakota he is the one I would really like to get. FU is also very heavily recruiting and has been talking $$$. Hopefully Layne follows the path of other recent BHS grads to Grand Forks.

Does Breitbach recruit Minnesota? He recruits Montana and western ND as well doesn't he?

Nice job ladies. butt football

A lot of the early season struggles can be overlooked tonight with a win over FU.

I heard that too. What a dipshit.

Link to game winner. We let this one slip away. That free throw wasn't even close.

That had to be key. Chicago St., Houston Baptist or New Jersey Institute of Technology will also be prime candidates after Oakland and maybe IUPUI leave in the future. Douple's plan is unfolding perfectly.

I'll take the Big Sky- gives us another different selling point from the other regional schools for regional recruits and a real nice selling point to recruits within the conference footprint if we choose to recruit those areas. Also, having the opportunity to play the regional schools non conference makes for a nice schedule. The Summit footprint is expanding, not shrinking and the conference has teams lined up to exit. It has always been a revolving door and that will never change.

And SDSU's wasn't? They lost a QB and a RB to the NFL draft. You can't just replace a 3,000+ yard passer and a 1,500+ yard running back.

As a counterpoint at that point in the season every team only has one or two game tapes on their opponent.

You hit it on the head with leadership. Both at the player and coach level. FU had some internal issues at the player level during their 6-5 and 3-8 seasons. Senior leadership worked to correct those issues and you had yourself a playoff team with probably less talent than previous years. I really feel leadership is whats lacking on this team and I'm not talking from a coaching level. We need some players to take control of this, force each other to stick around for a summer and challenge each other to get better. Coaches can only do so much. Look at the Kill incident and the Gophers.

True, but a big win over Valpo, a win against the Jacks (who is a familiar oppenent and will draw a nice crowd), and a strong showing against the Griz (who will also bring a nice crowd) can set the tone for the rest of the year at home. The only game of those 4 which I'd put us as long shots against is the Cats.

Scott was a great man who was great for the university. He did not leave due to the nickname. He left due to a great opportunity that came along.
