  1. As long as FU's offense doesn't give Wofford any points the game won't be close. One thing FU is very good at is protecting the football. Games FU has struggled in this year, they have turned the ball over. I think they win this one going away.

  2. Watching the Broncos game last night and heaing the announcers talk about how Chris Kuper is the key to protecting Peyton Manning. I would love to see a couple OL like Chris sign in this class who want to come get coached by a former NFL Olineman- Greg Lotysz

  3. And yes, NDSU so far in DI is out-recruiting UND in every common sport with the exception of maybe VB, possibly womens BB. That could change in the future, but I expect that it wont change in the near future in FB and Men's BB, the two sports that count the most.

    You mean to tell me your school has out recruited a school that has spent the last five years in transition, not post season elgible, without a conference, in a constant battle with the NCAA over a nickname. Do you want a pat on the back for that?

    You also might want to take a look at the schedules of these common sports the last couple seasons cause UND has beat FU in every sport that FU has the balls to play in. All that "out recruiting" sure hasn't translated in head to head wins in these common sports. But don't let facts get in the way. #buttfootball #screamyellow

  4. Could be Jameer Thurman.....

    I believe that is him. It was a rivals article that I somehow got access too. Talked about how his recruiting is really picking up and he's gotten calls from Kansas, Minnesota and Illinois but no offers from them yet. From the sounds of it he really likes our coaching staff and hopefully (if this is the weekend he is visiting) really likes the opportunities he will have here. He may get a Big10 offer before its all said and done though.

  5. Solid write up. This is a game we will miss Huff a lot. He was all over Braun last year and took him completely out of his game. He was too athletic for him. Not having him will hurt as you mentioned, Braun has been playing lights out the last couple games and as he goes, FU goes. This will be a tough game without Huff and a sub 100% Taylor.

  6. Another note - Offeree DE Lorenzo Melvin was on campus last weekend, and is heading to SoDak St this weekend. He would be a good pickup.

    Hopefully playing in the BigSky pays off with him. I'd like to see a nice OL and DL class this year.

    I also read an article online (which I can't find anymore) about a 3 star safety out of Illinois who is making a visit this weekend. Another position where playing time is wide open for a young kid going into next season.

  7. 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.

  8. That might be the score at the end of the 1st quarter. I'm thinking a 56-45 type game.

    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.

  9. I however continue to be amazed by the pettiness around here. I mean, people do know that the only schools referred to by the city they are in are the schools that are named after the city they are in, right?

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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Not UND-related, but could possibly have some impact on recruiting in the state of Wisconsin--Brett Bielema is reportedly leaving the Badgers for Arkansas.

    EDIT: Already talk of Paul Chryst possibly leaving Pitt to return to Wisconsin, which may result in Brooks Bollinger also returning to Madison.

    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.

  13. There must be more going on than meets the eye, nobody leaves a team when they are favored to win a NC in a few weeks, maybe one of the Bison guys on here has heard something more. Even if they were transferring after semester that woudn't start until well into January, the whole thing doesn't sound right.

    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.

  14. 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.

  15. Hey at least "Denver University" fits the Summit League naming philosophy. They won't need to make them change their name.

    That had to be attractive for the Summit League.

    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.
