NDSU grad

5dimes has UND +23 and NDSU +2 the last i saw them.

LOL. I'm sure we would have heard about him and Pomeroy doing jag bombs in the rain forest together.

I hate to stray even more off topic but one of the strangest sites I've ever seen at a football game was Earl Pomeroy (when he was still a U.S. representative) getting denied re-entry to the Fargodome. To his credit, he was really cool about it and never played the "Don't you know who I am" game.

I'd have to think Crum is the front runner right now, but we'll probably have a list of finalists in a couple of weeks.

I hate to split hairs but I'm guessing you guys are thinking of the 3-8 year. That was 2009. But you're right. Pretty quiet Fargodome for some games that year.

This sounds very similar to Cal Ripken baseball. When I clinked on the link one of the Fargo tournaments had a Minot team participating, which has to be one of the Minot Cal Ripken teams. It's cool they start at 7 years old; is it coach pitch at that age? I'd definitely sign your kid up. Edit: After further perusal of the site, one of the links takes you to the North Dakota Cal Ripken Association, so it sounds like the two leagues are basically interchangeable.

I live in Minot and this is my son's second year of Cal Ripken. It's a fantastic program. My son's far from being an all star but is competitive and does ok. It starts at 9 though, so your son might be out of luck until next year.

I think he's referring to a merger between FCS and the G5.

Those SIU teams were 1-5 against NDSU with Bubba leading the defense.

Well, you'll have to excuse me but we have been towards the top of every division we've played in for 50 years. Eleven national championships under 6 different head coaches. Have there been bumps in the road? Of course. But I think 500+ games is a fairly large sample size and gives me confidence that NDSU football will continue to be at the top for the foreseeable future.

No I get it just fine. You seem to like the FBS analogies, so I'll use this one. We are the Alabama of FCS, UND is Indiana. I don't see those two schools ever agreeing to a home/home. I don't care if NDSU and UND happen to be in the same state.

Damn right NDSU can dictate anything it wants when it comes to football, whether it's with North Dakota's two-bit liberal arts college or some other lower-end FCS program.

. Like what?

False. The reason they were kicked out of the AAU is because that organization considered some of their research dollars to be awarded from grants they deemed non-competitive. It had nothing to do with 'broad-based' research.

So Tim Miles, Ryun Godfrey, Darren Mueller, Pete Cuadrado, Mark Cook, and Erich Hinterstocker are all lezbos? Mind = Blown.

Michael Murphy was our long snapper the last 4 years, so Holmen might get a chance to play as a true frosh. Don't know if anybody else on the team can do it or not. Murphy was a stud; I honestly cannot remember one bad snap he had.

Holmen was in Fargo last weekend. He would be a walk-on at NDSU, and I'm guessing the same is true for UND. He may have some options to play tight end at some NAIA schools.

It didn't. Players currently in the program cannot transfer without sitting out a year. Players who have signed a letter of intent can ask out of their obligation, and this is usually granted.

Not necessarily. I think he has a redshirt to burn, so he can sit out without losing a year of playing time.

By any objective measurement, the schools are practically indistinguishable. Of course, that doesn't make for good pissing contests.

Stony Brook would be a great home and home. They'll be a perpetual playoff contender.

And it was dropped. I believe he pled guilty to a minor.

Idk. I guess it depends on what the specific charges are. He got a minor his first time, the resisting charge was dropped. To me, a minor followed by a resisting charge may warrant a one game suspension, but I could really see going with some other form of discipline too. Also, I just don't think these things are black and white. To me, going after some cops is different than tussling with some dude outside a bar. If I was a coach, there would definitely be some general guidelines, but I would look at each instance on a case by case basis.

He was not charged with aggravated assault the first time.

Pretty simple really. Travis Beck was immediately suspended from all team activities after the incident; the same as these St. Cloud players.
