Butt Football is fully funded.
Right, because those dollars come from the same sources. Good grief.

Saw Tom Miller mention a few locals as scholarship pwo potential guys UND is on. Think all have been brought up before.
Ben Bolinskie - Minot
Tyson Lytle - Fargo South
Quinn Alo - Lamoure
Zac Sweep - Century
not sure UND's interest but I do believe NDSU is on Michael Kelly from Oakes. He has size, plays nasty and is a really good wrestler. After seeing guys like Cieslak Grady and a bunch on the NDSU ol/dl contribute this year I am a big fan of us taking chances on ND linemen.

Bolinske is very interested in UND and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up there as a preferred walk-on. Could end up playing safety, as I don't think he has the arm to be a DI quarterback.

The tragic city.
I spent a year there 1 month.
It's kind of funny. I grew up near there, swear I'd never move back to the area, and here I am. Thing is, my wife and I both have what is basically our dream jobs and the kids love it. So life's not all bad.

Why not take the Minot solution - they have grades 9 and 10 downtown and grades 11 and 12 at "Magic City".
Just be "Grand Forks" with 9th and 10th grade at Central Campus (downtown) and 11th and 12th grades at Red River Campus.
Based on the GFH story, there are 2087 (937 GFC, 1150 GFRR) between the two schools. That's about the same number (2100) that is listed for Minot High.
The theory follows in that Minot also has (private, Catholic) Minot Ryan where GF has (yes, East Grand Forks, private, Cathlic) Sacred Heart. The difference is that there is EGF public there also.
In general, when it comes to running a city, I find it best to do the exact opposite of what Minot does. It's a frickin gong show here.

I didn't realize all of that. I'm sure it cant be helping at all.
His wife is an elementary principal in Minot and his son is a starting cb for the fb team as a sophomore. Pretty good player.
-
He needs to be gone at the end of the year, if we didn't have a running game, we wouldn't win a game all year.
I wonder how much Rudolph's family situation is affecting him. It can't be easy having your family still in Minot and you trying to do your job 3 hours away. It's got to be hard never being able to see any of your son's football games, especially with the great season Minot High is having.

I don't have nearly enough information to make an informed decision on what clearly is a very serious topic. How many players per side? Are the players on skates or sneakers?

So they say something about Bresciani that is false...slander? Or maybe it is true.
What did they say about Bresciani that's false? They simply stated their opinion about Bresciani's comments in the state of the University Address. Stupid opinions about topics they have absolutely no understanding about, but opinions nonetheless.
-
Then don't you think there should be a correction in the story that is deemed to be false. Where is Bresciani's comment to the paper? Oh that's right there is none.
It wasn't a story, it was an editorial. You know, an opinion? How do write a correction for that?
Why should Bresciani write a rebuttal? His exact words are easily found in the State of the University Address. If you haven't noticed, mainstream journalism doesn't exactly have a great track record for top-notch reporting. The opinion section is even worse.

http://www.jamestownsun.com/opinion/editorials/3859733-ndsu-joins-elite-universities
"State of the University" address: Within five years, NDSU will formally join the ranks of America's elite universities.
Dean Bresciani never said that. The editorial board of the Forum did. It was a stupid editorial written by people who probably don't know what AAU stands for.
-
So why does the Jamestown Sun and Fargo Forum believe differently? Bresciani intentionally deceived them?
No. Because like a lot of other people they interpreted his comments wrong.
-
HE verbally stated it, that within five years AAU is possible, and you wrote it. Bresciani is too sly to put that in print. Somehow what he stated doesn't fit in your agenda anymore?
No he didn't. He iterated three very specific goals that he thought would be attainable in the next 3-5 years: "First, we need to pursue an enrollment of 18,000 students. That number gives us the size needed to be able to broaden our options, but is not so large that we lose our student focus. Second, we need to grow our student scholarship endowment by at least $100 million. And third, we will need to aggressively pursue a substantial increase in endowed chair and faculty positions."...Given the extensive groundwork already done over the past five years, and the commitment from all of us to continue to reach new levels, I expect us to accomplish these goals in the next 3 to 5 years."
His comments about attaining AAU membership were more vague; he stated the possibility of AAU membership in the foreseeable future. Here's part of the quote: "...AAU membership will become possible at some foreseeable point in the future."
Here's the link to his State of the University Address.

I thought after Wisconsin offered him a PWO, UND did come back and offer some sort of money but he had already (unfortunately and understably) made up his mind. Could be wrong and don't blame the kid either way, Wisconsin is where he dreamed of playing. Doesn't hurt that it has really worked out well for him.
Edit - Looks like it was late scholarships from NDSU and NIU he turned down to come to UND as a PWO (at least in year 1).
I couldn't remember how it went down either but I found the 2012 recruiting thread. I think we (NDSU) offered after he blew up in the Wisconsin all-star game but were much too late to the party. It really hurts when I look at our 2012 class in hindsight. Pretty weak overall. Anyway, I'll quit hijacking your thread.

Interesting article. You guys were literally 24 hours away from having him on campus.

play a little what if for this season..
what if muss could have gotten wentz to play here instead of at the ac
what if muss could have gotten joe schobert to come to und a couple falls ago
what if kenny G would've stayed....
Schobert is an amazing story. I've got to think there are 7-8 FCS schools, pretty much every MAC school, and half a dozen BIG schools that have some recruiting interest in Wisconsin, and they all missed on him. Did UND offer any scholarship money, or was he a preferred walk-on?

That's like "gluten free" labels ... on fresh carrots.
I once saw a bag of sunflower seeds advertise they were non-'GMO'. While technically correct, all frickin' sunflower products are 'GMO' free.

The microflora in your gut routinely take on some of the DNA of what you eat. Those bugs begin producing Bt in your gut, so your gut becomes an insecticide factory. Glyphosphate inhibits trace minerals from working in enzymatic processes, which is how it kills plants. Plants sprayed with glyphosphate have fewer trace minerals, making the food less healthy. Probably this only effects the tiniest humans, the aged, or those chronically sick, but Monsanto and the GMO food industry won't study it.
There have been numerous reports of animals that are fed only GMO getting deathly sick. When they are returned to non GMO, their health returns. GMO is a real issue, but few have the science background to understand it. Health depends on the microflora in our gut, and medicine doesn't understand it well.

Oops, guess not. Seriously, this is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Glyphosate was originally patented as a chelator and later was investigated as an antibiotic. Are you honestly going to compare citric acid, which is in the Krebs cycle, to glyphosate. That is practically criminal.
Ar adult bodies have an average of six pounds of bioflora, and only recent medical advances have even revealed how important those bugs are too our health. One strain is even responsible for lean and healthy bodies.
There's 22 diseases that nearly have an exact correlation with the rise of GMOs. Europe isnt seeing the rapid fall off of adult health but we are. Why is that?
http://www.foodrenegade.com/link-between-roundup-ready-gmos-disease/
I cite PNAS, you cite something called foodrenegade.com. This is why I will never be convinced. Science is on my side. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. You'll eat what you want to eat. I'll eat what I want to eat. But your side will never win, because the consequences would be too devestating.

You and AG scientists fixate on how the shikimate process does not harm human cells, but you overlook that humans need gut bioflora to be healthy and even live. Glycosate kills gut bioflora as it does to bacteria outside the human gut. Vitamins gets synthesized in the gut and glyphosate wipes out those organisms. In addition, glycosate is a chelateR of critical minerals such as manganese, which is needed for many enzyme functions.
The land grant universities have been abject failures in preventing a US food disaster. This is one field that Europe is much more sophisticated. Bad gut flora lead to bad health, and US land grant schools do no recognize that simple truth.
Glyphosate does not kill gut bacteria in the ridiculously miniscule amounts that may be on food consumed by humans. The only vitamin synthesized in the gut is K, all others must be consumed in food or are synthesized elsewhere. Glyphosate is a very weak chelater, much weaker than citric acid. Should we quit eating fruits too. There is no U.S. food disaster. Like I said, our country has produced, by far, the best food system this world has ever known. When balancing availability, cost, and nutrition no country can even come close.

So tell us how the shikimate pathway works and swear that the GMO industry isn't harming us.
Like pinkie swear? For full disclosure, I'm not doing this off memory, but I do have a pretty decent background in biochemistry so I have a pretty good understanding of it. Basically the shikimate pathway produces essential aromatic acids, not minerals. Minerals would be things like Ca, Mg, Fe, etc., which a plant gets from the soil. Plants, some bacteria, algae, and some fungi contain this pathway. Animals do not. Plants that are glyphosate-resistant have a gene inserted into them that is native to a soil bacterium. The plant metabolizes glyphosate before the herbicide can kill it. If you're really interested in the process, here's a good link from PNAS http://www.pnas.org/content/103/35/13010.full
Can I absolutely guarantee 100% eating food that has been produced from some genetic transformation process will not be harmful? I guess not. Nothing in life is 100%. Can you absolute swear the organic industry isn't harming us? Probably not. However, I feel very good about the science behind these biotechnological innovations and think it's sound. I also believe organic food activists are out to destroy the best food-producing system the world has ever seen. Is it perfect? No. We have real problems with childhood obesity and nutrition, but going after GMO's is not going to change any of that.

Work for Monsanto or the Ag industry? My relatives that are in Ag hate any talk about GMO, even though their kids are sick all the time.
Yep. I love talk about biotechnological advances that have transformed the science of feeding the world. Oh, and you have no idea how the shikimate pathway works, and it's glyphosate, not glyphosphate.

We have been trying to go more organic and looking for the non-GMO label. Just watched this last night on GMOs.
Why?

I think it will be an interesting match-up between UND's front seven and NDSU's line. Schmidt will likely be aggressive to try to force NDSU into making mistakes and the 3-4 defense can bring pressure in a lot of ways and can be quite a bit different from the normal 4-3 defense that they typically see. UND's secondary will have to be solid as they will likely see some 1-1 coverage in those situations and Wentz can get the ball there in a hurry. If UND can get pressure on Wentz (tough task with a strong line for NDSU), it seemed last year he was more apt to tuck it and run rather than step up in the pocket and continue his reads. When he's running, which he's very capable of, he has a tendency to not secure the ball very well and also go for contact instead of sliding. Those two things are fixable and it could be a non-issue but it was noticeable last year. If they still hold true, UND needs to be ready to get a shot on him and go after the ball when he's running.
I have no clue what will happen when UND has the ball. UND started finding a rhythm running the ball the end of last year and the OL coach has done a really good job of molding the lineman he inherited into a solid group. The QB and RB however are both big question marks. On the flip side, NDSU is losing a lot, especially right up the middle. I'd assume the returning strength of their defense is the CB position, which probably doesn't give them a huge advantage as I don't think UND has one stand-out receiver, more of just a committee approach, no one particular guy to focus on.
The only thing I'd disagree with is the not strong up the middle comment. You were probably referencing our safeties which definitely is a huge question mark, but on the line we do return Tanguay and Schaetz and have other guys who saw meaningful minutes last year. DeLuca will have to step up big time. I'm not as high on him as other Bison fans. I think he drops too far back when in coverage and is slow to make run/pass reads. Of course, those things are easy to fix and he definitely possesses the physical tools to be really special.

Idaho received an at-large in a 16 team field with a 6-4 record in 1995. I believe that team and the aforementioned SHSU are the only teams to make the playoffs with 6 DI wins. You're right, though, the criteria has always been 6. I don't know why everybody thinks 7 wins was a hard and fast rule.
