The Mid Con Conference is now the Summit. When the XDSU’s announced they were getting into an established conference it was still the Mid Con. They changed names the same year they became members.

NDSU’s OL is big but for the most part are tall, big and can move. You don’t see many 6’1 or 6’2 300 lber’s on the NDSU OL. Most are 6’5 to 6’7 and around 300 lb’s. If you look at Mauch, Zabel, Miler before he got hurt and Volson from last year, they are big and athletic enough to move and get out into the 2nd layer of the defense. Some teams come in with an OL all over 300 lbs but they can’t move at all. I have not watched enough of UND this year to know exactly what UND’s OL is like exactly.

The committee was more than likely going to split up the teams from the same conference in the top 4 seeds anyway. If Sac at had been 1 NDSU most likely would have been the 4 seed. There is no difference between a 1&2 or a 3&4 in all reality.

You can’t pick somebody up and body slam them. Grabbing a leg is not a penalty.

BS. Guarantee you Maeg tries to continue running if he is not tackled again. He is not getting up to run back to the huddle and they are not in a hurry up offense. He was trying to get on SC like Belquist did earlier this season.

Again, just going on this year, they lost to a power 5 FBS school and to the #1 FCS seed by 2 points. What else could they have done to improve their seed. If they had scored 3 more points against SDSU they would be. #1 seed. I know UND fans are all about if 5 or 6 plays in 3 or 4 games had gone differently we would be 10-1 or undefeated. Literally if one play had gone differently (the Payton interception when they were driving to go up 4 scores in the SDSU game) NDSU would be looking at a #1 seed.

Other than the fact that AD’s with teams in the discussion have to leave the room you are 100% correct in your blaming of UND getting screwed and NDSU getting the #3 seed. In case you aren’t following along, NDSU lost by 2 to the #1 seed and by a FG to an FBS team that just beat the #9 team in the country and lost by a score to the #10 team in the country. Oh, and they kicked the s%#t out of Montana State in the championship last year.

Sigle is the one that is somewhat bothersome. But not every kid is a good fit for a program. That may be the case with him. Hart played about the same amount as 5 or 6 WR’s, most are pretty equal. Tbh, when you are spreading out 10 catches among 6 or 7 pass catchers, I am not sure how NDSU keeps any good WR’s. The fact that they got and kept Watson for 5 years is pretty incredible. Gonella is honestly maybe the 5th best back in that room. If he wants to get carries he has to move on. 3 of the kids are from Florida or Georgia. I would be surprised if they don’t end up somewhere closer to home. The South to ND is a bit of a change.

Gonella was one of the 3 yesterday. He just officially tweeted it today. They had a Rfr enter today to make it the 4th one. A DB named Pascoe. I don’t think he had played at all or possibly some special teams.

The timing is if these kids want to keep playing CFB, opening their recruitment before signing day in December makes sense. These kids need to have open scholarship money to land somewhere. These kids are not like Jabril Cox that can pick their school and a school will create a scholarship for them. If they don’t get their name out there now they may end up without a home for next year.

other than their season has lasted 6 weeks longer than 90% of the other FCS schools for the entirety of the kids careers you may be right. And they all talk about how tough and demanding Kramer can be. Most kids can take it and really like Kramer. There are some that feel it is too much.

It is a very demanding program. Kramer in particular is very demanding and with them playing into January most years, there is very little time for an off season. They get 2 weeks off after the title game and are right back at it. It is not for everybody. There is supposed to be a 4th leaving too. We will see who that is. Of the 3 so far, the only real loss is Sigle. He is a very good CB. There are others on the roster that can replace the other 2 without missing anything.

For some reason Miller gets no credit for being a good QB. He is efficient as a runner and has a strong arm and throws a good ball. Maybe even a better runner and a stronger arm than Tommy. And btw. Nobody is talking about the sure pick-6 Tommy threw to a Bison LB that was dropped. The game could have gotten even uglier if that wasn’t dropped.

And if any of those plays happen and UND gets a little closer, NDSU probably doesn't completely close their playbook and doesn't run it up the middle every play with a 3 score lead. NDSU could have scored 60 if they needed to today. The only time they were stopped was when UND completely sold out on the run and NDSU still ran it up the middle just to burn clock.

Have no idea of NDSU’s interest in this kid or what kind of a player he may turn out to be, but schools invite 5-10 times the number of kids (or more) that they can actually offer.

Cam will break their streak of drafted QB’s and does make some bad throws, but he doesn’t suck. He won a National title. I would take him over Tippy Toes Tommy. And Entz isn’t my favorite but he is better than Bubba.

Not downplaying UND’s effort at all. They played well for 3 quarters. Just pointing out when posters are saying NDSU isn’t good enough to get P5 games on the schedule I was just pointing out that the opposite is actually true. UND better be careful if they want to keep getting those $500k paydays. You win a couple of these and they go away fast.

Not sure how you rank UNI after last week, FBS opponent or not. That was a pathetic performance.

So NDSU can’t schedule P5 schools and UND can? I wonder why? Cheaper to bring in UND? No. It would be a better win to beat UND instead of a win vs NDSU? No. UND would bring more fans to the game? No. The gate would be bigger because we could charge more for a ticket vs UND rather than NDSU? No, actually the reverse. UND is a guaranteed win and NDSU very well could be a loss? Bingo.

The indoor facility they built is not a football only facility. The baseball, softball and golf teams will also use it. The Basketball teams were taken care of with the SHAC a few years ago. The track teams have a new indoor facility. They upgraded their softball stadium 2 years ago. You must not be paying attention...

I assume you are smart enough to know why they will never play NDSU but UND has no trouble scheduling them? It is not a compliment to UND.

Nebraska may have better athletes than the top MVFC team, but that doesn’t mean they are a better football team than the top MVFC team. There is a difference.

Why wouldn’t he qualify. He could have played at SIU if they had let him. I don’t think the NCAA suspended him.

Why would you? If somebody is willing to pay you $11,500 per week to practice playing football take the money.

I think that is correct. NDSU does not take into account the COVID year when they list eligibility. Both Millers that are starting, Cam and Mason, are Soph’s eligibility wise but are listed as juniors on the depth chart. Some schools do it differently.
