    Wait....I thought the Fargodome was "the best atmosphere in the FCS" and NDSU has "the best college football fans in the FCS if not all of college football"?!!  No way this happened at the Mecca of college football that is the Fargodome!!  ;):D

    It happens all over college football. There are even students st Alabama and Clemson that go to FB games and are not there to watch a game. Shocking I know...

    Do you think NDSU fans and administration paid off ESPN and SI to get them to rate NDSU in the Top 5 game day atmospheres/experiences in all of college football? Maybe your beef is with the national sports media outlets and not NDSU fans.

    There are a substantial number of UND alumni living in Imperial Cass County, ND. I really hope they are NOT supporting NDSU at the expense of UND. If that is the case, then we aren't doing a good job of cultivating relationships with people.

    The "leadership" at UND has been non-existent to incompetent over the past 10 years. The next Presidential hire will be crucial to changing this dynamic.

    There are a number of UND alums that are members of TeamMakers to be able to get NDSU FB season tickets. Even the head FB coach at Shanley, who is a UND alum and student athlete at UND is a season ticket holder and TeamMaker. However, there a lot of NDSU alums that are season ticket holders for UND hockey.

    In light of the current salary structure and the sad truth that this is not the top job in our state much less conference, who would really want it? 

    I agree that it's important to nab an SU assistant to become a coordinator.

    Problem is NDSU positions coaches probably make as much as a coordinator at UND.

    38-27 EWU.    Just one of those games we won't win.   Even with a loss we will still be on schedule to make the playoffs.

    40-30 EWU.  If 2-3 is on schedule for the playoffs you are correct, but you are wrong if 2-3 is not.  UC Davis at home was counted on as a win before the season, but Davis plays like they did last week, it will be a loss for UND.

    Based on the first three werks UND deserves to be in top 25, even if it only lasts a few weeks. BS on teams getting ranked for quality losses and weak schedule wins. 

    OK, You beat the "number 24" team so maybe you should be number 24 yourself. SHSU is ranked only because they have a history of being a playoff team in  horrible league. The team UND beat yesterday if a bad FCS team regardless of ranking. I know your announcers were trying to say Schuster and Wanzek were beating Xavier Rhodes and a defense full of NFL players, but they weren't.

    I see ndsu was up by 3 scores with two minutes remaining and decided to run a fake field goal on 4th down.  They later punched it in for one more touchdown in the final minute. 

    Classy.

    NDSU has hardly run up the score this year. They have a true freshman kicker that has a weak leg, Why take a chance at getting a kick blocked, a kick that has less than a 50% chance of being good? They didn't throw the ball at all that last few possessions with backups in. Do you tell your players to fall down when they get touched?

    Of those 19 commits, it appears 4 had other D1 offers. 

    This is Bubba’s biggest problem. UND is trying to win at the FCS level with a bunch of kids most FCS schools don’t think are D1 caliber players. I know some kids slip through the cracks, but you can’t win National championships with 75% of your recruits with “no other D1 offers”.

    At the end of their DII domination it was other schools that caught up to su (the change in the # of scholarships allowed helped). Hockey has always been the top sport but it didn't stop UND from dominating SU in the 90s and winning a national championship. UND has proven it can get blue chippers.   

    This isn’t the D2 days. The 90’s and early 2000’s may just be a decade and a half past, but they are light years from the FB landscape in the Upper Midwest today. 

    I don’t remember ESPN College GameDay coming to ND in the D2 days. I don’t remember and ND team consistently beating FBS schools, and an occasional P5 school on recruits. I don’t remember one if the ND schools being named one of the top10 schools in ALL of college football, being named the 3rd best game day experience in all of college football. Having the Number 2 NFL draft pick that has signed a $100 million contract and consistently putting players in the NFL. 

    UND fans may not want to face it, but the mountain they need to climb is higher than it has ever been to catch NDSU in FB. NDSU has a national profile now bigger than any FCS school. They won’t win every championship and they will lose 2 or 3 games this year. They will probably lose a game to UND in the next ten years, they have probably lost at least once to every MVFC in the last 10 years, but UND won’t pass NDSU in FB in the next 25 years or as long as they are both in the same sub-division.

    In my opinion, this video shows a lot. Listen to the guys talk about how “cool and exciting it is” to go play in the Fargo Dome. Maybe they’re talking about how it’s cool to be the start of the rivalry again but it just rubbed me the wrong way. They all talked about how they really needed to build off that one drive as if it was something magical how they scored on the mighty NDSU.

    I think that must be one of Bubba’s recruiting pitches since they will be playing every year again. I have heard at least a couple of his commits this year say one of the things that intrigued them was that they get to play NDSU every year.

    Given that a hundred times.  Your next opponent Delaware will move up too as they have updated their stadium and facilities for FBS..  AD Larsen confirmed that NDSU will move in a few years.

    But the fans bases are so knowledgeable that they say it won’t happen.

    When did Larsen say NDSU was moving up to FBS?

    It might be a generational thing but glad programs are now online only. I would say a lot of the printed ones go unsold or tossed in the trash after the game. Seems a lot of waste in paper, ink, and trash space. Also saving the school money on the unsold programs

    kind of agree but my guess is 1/3 of the people attending games (not just UND but NDSU as weel, like my father) would not know how to view a program online.

    Did the Bison win a national title in 1977. Cab’t even remember that. 

    I'm a Bison fan and and did not realize NDSU EVER won a national championship in men's basketball. I really think they are confusing men's and women's BB. I am almost certain UND has had more men's BB success in D2 than NDSU.

    New rule. Didn’t look like a cheap shot, didn’t look like a big deal. 

    I do think think that there was actually a hit after the whistle by an NDSU player that wasn't called on the same play so the 15 yards were still warranted.

    Well he knows getting drafted in the first round is just as easy playing for the bison as for any other P5 team so I don’t see why he would want to transfer. It could become a bigger possibility if he could Grad transfer. No way he would transfer if he has to sit another season.

    Why would you grad transfer if you can be a top 1st round pick at NDSU? There is a better chance scouts and agents tell him he may be a high 1st round draft pick after his junior season and he comes out early. Way too early to know that but even at this point that is more of a possibility than Cox coming out early after this year.

    An illegal blindside block and corresponding bench penalty, OK, warning, was issued to NDSU on the same play in the second half.

    Who took the brunt of that illegal* hit and what's their status? I'm asking for a friend named Zach Arnell ... 

     

    *It was penalized, and thus, by definition, illegal. 

    The illegal blind side block was on the 2nd Tutsie interception. I don't think it was a blind side block. The defended that laid the block was facing the UND offensive player that was pursing Tutsie. In fact, the NDSU player was fairly stationary and the UND player pretty much ran into him.

    PLUS most of your fans are girly or wimps who can't take sh*t because they can't swear out loud while living in their parents basements. 

     

    just sayin'!

    BOOYAH!

    Damn, you got me a good one there. Never heard the living in the parents basement one before. I had you pegged as a Trumpster. I guess I was right...

    The AG college was considered magically UNBEATABLE for all those years until a goofy defensive player (LOVE Mike Mooney) snatched an interception and ran it back for an improbable touchdown and the tide turned for more than a decade until the bison fled their league for "higher" ground.  Time for UND to stake some claim to that land too!   Maybe not with a win but I think Bubba will put a good scare on them this year.  PERFECT calling card for our entrance into the MoValley next year!   Coming for ya Bizooone:-)

    Oh, UND will eventually win a game against NDSU. The Bison generally lose a game or two every year. In the 10 or so years they have been on the MVFC, they have probably lost to each school at least once. Luckily for UND , it is often to a bad team. Sometimes a teams just plays badly enough to lose to anybody. It is bound to happen eventually.

    Butler was picked preseason 8th in a !@#!$ conference.  Thanks for proving my point. 

    Again, I didn’t say Butler was any good and I wasn’t saying NDSU looked good against them therefore they will have a great season. You were saying saying you were impressed with UND because of how they looked against Drake, another team that isn’t very good.

    Butler's tallest starting OL was 6'1".  The heaviest was 280 and that guy was 6'0".  wtf

    Zimmerman may have 10 seconds to survey the field then I guess. NDSU probably has not seen an offensive line as powerful as UND's in quite some time.  What did UND rush for against Drake? I guessing it must have been at least 300 yards? maybe 400? Especially with a tail back as big as the DL  running behind that powerful OL.

    And the same can be said about NDSU versus Butler!!

    FYI Drake crushed Butler last season. 

    I'm not claiming NDSU is good because they beat Butler. Butler is not very good. They could have scored 80 if they wanted to. They threw the ball 14 times not because they couldn't throw it, but because they didn't have to and didn't want to run up the score. They have a little more a history to go by to prove they are good. UND had a bit more trouble with Drake.  UND had 12 points at halftime and poured it on to try to make it look like a dominant effort to try to get some enthusiasm for their program. And apparently it worked. Good for them. A little false hope never hurt anyone.

    Wyoming wouldn’t waste their time playing a second tier team in a destination game. Sorry but even Wyoming is too good to bother accommodating NDSU. Even though NDSU has beat more P5 teams in the last 15 years than WY

    If NDSU want to build on the Target Field game they will need to schedule a popular FCS team. No FBS team would bother to stoop to that level.

    I didn't suggest they should try to or that any G5 team would play NDSU, at Target Field, the Fargodome or at their own stadium for that matter. No G5 team will schedule NDSU period because they will get beat. SV said they NDSU would try to schedule a G5 team at Target Field next time. It is not that a G5 team would be afraid to stoop to the NDSU level, it is that they know they would get beat.
