Faison just called a 10:00 AM press conference fot tomorrow to announce the hiring of a new Director of Football Recruiting position.

What joke about head shots? DeLuca what going for a low tackle and the Montana QB lowered his head. DeLuca had already committed to the tackle when the QB took a dive.

I really hope you nver coach against my nephew's wheelchair basketball team.

You aren't. The FBS UND would be a part of will not have the same standards as today's FBS. It will have to lower it's requirements to allow teams like 80 percent of the BSC in. And you will never spend the money on expanding Memorial Stadium for football. The hockey programs will need new locker rooms, or a private exclusive spa, or a private jet, etc. They would spend the money there first.

Your UND and the BSC to the FBS prediction is bu&& s$&t if half of of the FCS goes to what is now the FBS and the other half goes D2. The BSC conference will NOT go FBS any sooner than the MVFC would. Having Idaho in the conference will make ZERO difference. You will take credit for knowing all along and you didn't know anymore than anybody else.

DeLuca was going for a good old ankle tackle because that is the proper way for a DB or LB to tackle a QB. The Montana QB slides at the same time DeLuca tries to make the ankle tackle. There was nothing he could do.

Would you please post your video of the punch? You must have an exclusive video because 2 I have seen do not show a punch.

The fan grabbed his face mask. What was he supposed to do. Leave his hand on it as long as the fan wanted to? You tell me proper etiquette for that scenario. Or as some would ask in this forum, WWBD (what would Bubba do).

Didn't see a "swing" with his left arm. He was trying to dislodge the fans hand from his face mask. If he really wanted to hurt the fan he would have had no problem catching him and knocking him out. Univ of Montana has issued a statement apologizing to NDSU and their players for their fan's behavior. Said it was inexcusable.

So they are supposed to let them grab their face mask and pull them around the field, maybe twist it a little, poke them in the eye, etc.? By the way, he didn't swing at a fan. It looked like he brought his arm up to try to get the fans hand off his mask. As was mentioned earlier, if Morlock had swung at the fan with bad intentions, the fan would have been out and eating through a straw today if he was lucky. Mr. Morlock is a solid 230 and has spent a lot of time in the weight room.

Do you suppose the Missoula PD allowed Morlock to get on the plane back to Fargo Darell? Can you fill us in on the charges?

Just wondering why the disparity in shots per half? Was the wind a factor?

I agree. The kid is lucky that he is not eating his dinner through a straw tonight. Morlock is a genuinely nice kid. Knowing him a little bit through scouts (he is an eagle scout who still helps out some with the younger kids) I had a hard time believing he had punched someone unprovoked. Thank goodness that everybody carries a video recorder these days.

You are correct. The Montana broadcaster said the was the biggest football games he has called, and he did the 7 title games Montana has been in. He said it was the biggest sporting event ever in the state of Montana. Those are words coming out of the Griz camp, not NDSU's. You can make fun of it all you want, but for every team NDSU plays, it is their biggest game of the year, or of the history of their program in some cases.

Watching the ending I thought it was the National title game. Montana and their fans sure acted like it was. Coach Stitt couldn't even find the time to come over and shake Klieman's hand after the game. Closed circuit to the Griz, NDSU lost games in 3 of their 4 championship years. It didn't end well for either of those teams.

Watch the video. The fan runs up to Morlock, bumps and runs into him and then grabs his face mask. It looks like Morlock is just raining his hand to get the fans hand off his face mask. You tell me what he should have done. Let him pull him by the mask and twist his neck?

You are not listening to SiouxVolley. UND is way ahead of the with NDSU in making a move up. Nobody wants NDSU. Sure, they may have had their last 3season openers on National TV. They may have had Gameday 2 years in a row and won 4 straight championships, but UND is really secretly light years ahead of NDSU in terms of moving up to FBS.

NDSU has gotten 2 or 3 MN Mr. Football's in the last 5 or 6 years. Maybe FBS schools think he is a step slow to play CB, which is good for UND. My guess you have nothing to worry about if G5 schools come knocking. i think he realizes that isn't much of a step up. The only ones I would worry about is if the Gophers or Badgers come to their senses. He looks like a good get for Bubba.

What is common place nationwide? Making anonymous claims about a rivals recruiting habits and saying it has become a pattern? What is the pattern Lkvlle? Enlighten us.

A second hand conversation whose source is the father of a kid going to a rival FCS school. Do you suppose he may have a reason to try to steer kids away from the king of the FCS hill? Maybe so his kids school has a better chance of climbing that hill? I think you would have a hard time finding a rival coach say anything bad about Klieman. But you think what you want. My guess if a story came out about Bubba like this from LkvlleNDSUfan, you may refute it also.

So what are we to believe? First we hear complaining about this NDSU staff continuing relationships with recruits and actually keeping in contact with them after they have committed to other schools. Now we hear they are being mean to recruits that commit elsewhere and burning all bridges? Same staff, but completely opposite tactics.

Weak and sad is lying about a rival because you can't compete with them on the field or in recruiting. Knowing the head coach a little I don't believe it. And I know a die hard UND fan very well that has kids on the same teams as Klieman's kids, and he doesn't believe it either. As much as he hates NDSU, he doesn't think Klieman would put up with this type of behavior. The coach was most likely surprised and somewhat silenced when he first heard from the recruit. He may have said the school he picked doesn't have the track record of developing players and winning like NDSU. He may have said we will see you on the field and hope to beat you. But it did not happen like LkvlleUNDfan would like everybody to believe. But believe what you would like if you can sleep better thinking NDSU is an evil empire.

Must have been Hedberg. They are having a hard time breaking him of the recruiting habits he learned at UND.

A little critical thinking tells me perhaps he is thinking maybe Boise State and Colorado State move to a P5 conference and Idaho gets a MWC invite. I know that is not in SiouxVolley's plan and it is extremely far fetched compared to conference with 2 or 3 schools that could possibly qualify or have a chance to be successful at the FBS level moving up at once, but I will go with that theory.

Where does he say Idaho's future is in an FBS Big Sky?
