And Wentz's first contract will be more than Kuper and Kleinsasser's combined. What are you saying?
-
How many 6'3" 250 LB linebackers sign at FCS schools? That is what he is trying to tell you. If he was that size he may have had P5 offers, and he may have taken one of those offers over a UND offer.
-
So the NCAA is going to change the rules for two FBS programs (Idaho and NMSU) that didn't have the support to be FBS in the first place?
-
What? I was agreeing with a Sioux fan that doesn't think an NDSU recruit is a D1 player at this time. Your fans are bringing up NDSU players and recruits. Expect them to be commented on if they do.
-
Is that why you pay your head coach less than half of what the lower paid Summit teams pay theirs? Or less than a quarter of what ORU and Denver pay their Summit league HC's?
-
I agree the Dickinson kid doesn't look like a D1 player, but he doesn't look any worse than Werner did at the same point in his development.
-
Actually 5 of those 7 started at least 3 games last year, so most were more than "just on an active roster". You may be stretching it a little bit when you say Kuper and Kleinsasser were the best at their positions. They both had good runs, but I'm not sure they were Gronklike or Hutchinsonlike. Phil Hansen had just as good a run as either of them.
-
Fixed it for you.

I'm sorry Darell, maybe I was in a coma those 10 years. Did I miss a huge influx of UND players going to the NFL? NDSU had 7 players on active NFL rosters at the end of last year. They could have 10 this year. When is the last time UND could say that? How far back do you have to go just to count the last 7 UND players that have been on active NFL rosters?

I will admit, it is rare that Midco has an outage. But they did try to charge me for equipment I had turned in.
-
They could be. It will be interesting to see if they make a serious bid. As an occasional college hockey viewer, UND hockey was a much more attractive product when the old WCHA was together. It has certainly lost some of its appeal. I know some will disagree, but I wonder if they have tracked viewership of UND hockey since the move? Does anyone know? By the way, I am a UND hockey fan. I really hope they are able to win it all this year.
-
The fact that WDAY has al of the ND State tounaments now would make it difficult for them to broadcast the last few weeks of the hockey season.
-
I'm not sure UND is in any great position when it comes to TV broadcast rights for UND sports. Who will be bidding against Midco for the hockey and BB broadcasts? The statewide networks won't allow primetime interuptions as frequently as necessary to broadcast them on their stations. There is no Fighting Sioux Sports Network anymore. Who do you expect to bid on UND's TV rights?
-
Makes sense. I don't think FSN has the need for an alliation with a college with 2 major pfrofessional sports teams during the fall and winter months.
-
Doesn't UND actually buy airtime on FSN for the handful of games they air each year? FSN isn't interested in any Dakotas college affiliation.
-
Well, maybe if UND had former players in the NFL, this thread would survive without talk about former Bison...
-
Agree. Most of us weren't around to see the hype in 61. The Wentz story may be the biggest in the last 50 years.
-
I didn't say on Sportscenter. I bet if you watched ESPN from 8 AM to 11 PM, Wentz will be mentioned on some show. It may be on The Sports Reporters, maybe on NFL Live, but somewhere. I bet UND hockey won't be mentioned tomorrow, or the next day, or the next...
-
I think everybody knew what I meant, but it is the biggest sports story incvolving ND covered Nationally in recent history.
-
There were more than 2 other Bison guys there at Pro Day and the scouts saw them, Mayock from the NFL Network mentioned Haeg and Smith on his reports on air, Haeg is being called a top 100 pick by some national media people. When is the last time a ND college had 2 top 100 picks in the NFL Draft? NDSU will have at least 6 players that will be in an NFL camp this spring. I don't think they care if the Media focused on Wentz. Thanks for your concern about NDSU athletes though.
-
When is the last time a player or school from ND was mentioned on National TV every day for 3 month straight? You will hear Carson Wentz and North Dakota State talked about on ESPN and the NFL Network, among others, every day from now until the draft. Actually from the combine until the draft. Like it or not, this is the biggest nationally covered sports story in recent history. The only other one that would be close is Maris's 61 in 61.
-
Maybe if Phil Jackson acknowledged he was from ND that would be the case. You could probably ask all of the National NBA broadcasters from ESPN, TNT and NBATV and 95% of them wouldn't be able to answer where Jackson went to college or his home state.
-
It sounds like he will be able to audition in front of all 32 NFL teams on Thursday in the Fargodome. And on live national TV. The NFL Network will be televising NDSU's pro day live on Thursday AM. It should help all players at the Pro Day to be exposed to every team. It sounds like there will be some Head Coaches and GM's there also.
-
A classic is questioning the character and integrity of a coach that suspended his leading scorer for the most important game of the season when his favorite team has a coach that blames his players and everybody else except himself for losses and get broadcasters suspended when they say something that hurts his feelings.
-
Yes, it was a very good loss. I thought people on this board weren't into good losses, but I guess it depends who is the losing team. And it doesn't matter why NDSU turned down the invites to the 3 tourneys nobody cares about, it was the right move. When 2 of the 3 have to trim the number of teams because they can't get teams to play in them and you have sub 500 teams in them, maybe it is time to scrap them.Before NDSU and UND were eligible for the for real post season play, it was ok. Now it just doesn't matter.
