Does anybody know? Does the conference got the whole 1.7mil or is it split half conference half school? I know the first year year NDSU made it the conference got it all, but I thought that was just for the first year they were eligible.

You can call it luck if you want, but I think it is fair to say NDSU has more talent players 1-10 than UND and most others in the Summit right now. With what is coming back next year from their current rosters, I don't see UND overtaking NDSU next year. UND's most pressing need may be a point guard. Stewart is talented, but if he is your team leader you may have issues.

A play in game may not be all bad. If you win that game, you get more money and get two games on National TV. They are a much better team right now than early in non-conference season. They would most likely be favored in a play-in game.

Wait, wasn’t UND in the same bracket??? I am not sure SDSU was the best team at the end of the season. They had Daum and Jenkins and not much after that. They had NO bench. It will eventually catch up to you. Especially when the whistles get put away in the tournament.

Anyone can schedule a pro day. Concordia can schedule one, but if no NFL teams show up it does no good. Apparently UND was afraid no teams would show up. If and when UND consistently puts kids in the league maybe they will get one.

You could be right. But there are a lot of low level G5 FBS teams in Michigan and MVFC teams that recruit Michigan hard, and his only offer was D2. Not even any PWO's. Not saying he won't work out, but there must be a reason no one else offered. He wasn't under the radar if he was playing in the largest class in Michigan.

Yes, you are correct. PED’ usage is rampant in the NDSU FB program as evidenced by the hundreds, uh dozens, uh one positive test in hundreds of samples in the past 8 years of playoff FB with 18 tests after every game. If you believe the kid, which everybody on this site wants to do, why doesn’t the family name the staff member? They are obviously being wronged and the kids possible pro career is over. This staff member took the kids career away, why protect the staff member? Maybe because it wasn’t a staff member?

What do you do if multiple people jump you at a bar? Go in the fetal position?

Do you really want to compare arrest records between the two programs since Bubba took over?

Travis Beck was self defense. Can’t defend Jemmison. The other 4 were not arrested, just dismissed from the team.

I think he is trying to tell you they are equally bad this year. That both schools suck at WBB. They are pretty even this year. When Klabo and Morton graduate this year, UND will be historically bad next year. NDSU won't be far behind, but they have more talent back then UND.

Yeah. I remember those drug dealing charges against NDSU players Randolph, Taylor, Poole, Dullin and Smith just going back a couple of years, and then there was that Booby Stroup thing. Oh wait, weren't they UND players?

Not that it matters, neither of these teams are going anywhere and both are bad, but the officiating in this game has been embarrassingly bad and one sided. The charging call on the NDSU guard to take away the 3-point play was terrible. Even Reinke, who took the charge looked stunned it wasn't on her.

Lets see. 8 years of playoffs. 7 championships and one Semi final appearance. Approximately 40 playoff games x 18 player tests per game tells me that is about one tenth of one percent positive tests. Yep, the staff must be pushing illegal stimulants on those kids...

Damn good thing UND isn't good enough to get far enough along in the playoffs to get tested. They had a kid arrested for dealing roids about 3 years ago.

Exactly. If it was as widely used and a third of the dressed players are tested why was he the only positive test? It sounds to me like he doesn't want to tell mommie what he did.

Wishful thinking Risky. They lost a QB commit and because they think they need a HS QB every year they upped their offer. They still have the highest rated FCS class outside of an Ivy League school.

Explain why you like the UND staff better than the NDSU staff? My guess is UND's first choice for the WR coach was the OC @ Dultuth and not the WR coach. Pauley was mentioned but he ended up at NDSU. UND's OL coach was an asst OL caoch @ Iowa. NDSU's new OL coach is an Iowa grad who turned down the head OL coaching position at Iowa and w=was the OL coach and Asst HC @ Rutgers. By most accounts he was Rutgers best recruiter. I would put NDSU's LB and QB coaches up against any MVFC school. But you can think what you want.

Do you really think he is going to the dance in the next two years with his current team? I was at the game in Fargo and have watched a handful of other games this year. He doesn't have the talent on his current roster to win the Summit, He may not even get his team to the tournament this year. And I am not saying NDSU is in a much better place, but they are in a little better place. NDSU doesn't lose anybody this year and UND loses 2 of their top 3 players. I would say if either team, NDSU or UND is the one team left out of the Summit tournament this year, the coach should go, whether that is Jones or Richman.

So maybe the rules need to be a little more clear. First it is a D%#k move to offer a kid that has already committed elsewhere. Now I guess if you are not the first to offer a kid, no one else is allowed to offer that kid even if he hasn't committed to that first school, Even if you have had a relationship with the kid for 2 years. Can you please clarify so other FCS coaches in the area don't offend the almighty Bubba and his dozens of followers?

i guess i thought both schools lost their first choice and then went back to the drawing board. NDSU had already been recruiting the kid but he was going to Minnesota as a PWO. They evaluated the QB's that were available and decided their original 2nd choice was now their top choice, so the offered him the one scholarship they were going to use on a QB that was now open.

Yes, because every FCS school that wants to be successful watches who UND is recruiting and then swoops in at the end steal them. I am not sure that is a recipe for success. I know nothing about the QB they are fighting over, but my advice to him would be go to UND, There is a very good chance, barring injury, that he will sit 4 years at NDSU. Judging from the starting QB at UND last year, that position is wide open in GF.

Interesting sample of a sentence for a UND FB fan...

I think I have heard this one before... We will see Sept 7th.

What are you talking about? He beat out a bunch of Power 5 schools for a 4 star recruit this year. If they fire Jones they probably lose his players. BTW, I was at the NDSU/UND game on Sunday, I didn't think I would ever see a D1 player skinnier than Trayvonn Wright, but I think Bijiek may be. However, Wright had a lot more basketball skills than Bijiek as a true freshman. Does anyone see him as a future dominant player in the Summit? Looking from afar, it appears Stewart and Moody are probably your best players. The problem is Moody isn't great at creating his own shot and right now is a liability on defense, which certainly can change in the future, I really wish he were a Bison and the 7 footer from Dickinson wasn't. And even though Stewart is talented, he is not an ideal point guard or leader for a team. Lawrence Alexander or Quentin Hooker wouldn't be caught behind a play pouting about a missed shot or turnover.
