Yikes, this game might just be the matchup of the walking dead. NDSU redshirt a lot of their freshman class then?
3 are playing but only one looks ready and that is Miller. Wesenberg and Schowalter don't appear to be ready. When Dexter Werner is the first person off your bench, the cupboard is rather bare.

Wouldnt shock me if Brown was on Nash, but that might put us at a bigger disadvantage elsewhere. He's guarded 6'6, 6'7 type guys in the past though. Jacobson and Miller just arent ready to guard a guy like him. AJ is good to go after missing the UM game. A lot of perimeter shots in this one gonna come down to who's more hot. Im pretty worried about this one.
Not sure about AJ being able to go. Richman was just on the radio and said 3 of his starters were watching practice yesterday and his point guard was on the court limping. He said he wouldn't be surprised if at least 1 or 2 will be in street clothes tonight. For a team that only plays 7 maybe 8 players, that is not good. I will be surprised if NDSU is able to keep to a single digit loss.

What is the deal with Montana State putting their games on their version of UND Insider? We had a deal in place to put all the games on big sky tv... whats the deal? Kinda bs if you ask me.
Montana State must be really bad this year,. NDSU is up on them 70-46 with about 6 minutes left, and this NDSU team is not very good.
-
Conveniently leaving out that UND's game is also on Midcontinent which the majority of ND, large parts of SD and parts of western MN get or just ignorant and trying to troll?
And Midcontinent is glad they can bring this weeks UND/Weber State game to all 6 fans that will be watching...

In Bubba we trust.
Watching some of Bubba's decisions lately I that must be blind trust.

This^^
Haven't seen for myself, but reading the comments about the quality of the Big Sky online network is very poor. You might as well not watch and save some frustration.
-
Play your best players. The seniors deserve it. The fans deserve it. The program deserves it.
Maybe you owe it Hanson, a kid who has stuck with the program for several years and has put in his time. Maybe it would have been right to give him a chance to show what he can do.
-
Why the hell would we waste studsruds redshirt. Just stupid. I would rather have Hanson start.
You are right on. You must not think Studsrud is your future QB if you are trading his worst year (true fr year) for what should be his best year (5th yr senior) in a season where you are 3-5 with virtually no chance of advancing to the playoffs. I think the NDSU staff has been too quick to pull shirts from freshman recently to basically only play special teams. But even Klieman said a couple of weeks ago that there was no chance any more redshirts would be pulled this year. And he has a team that will be playing into December in meaningful games.

Oh wait ESPN3?
And ESPN Gameplan. Again, when is the last time ESPN has shown enough interest in UND football to put one of their home games on either of these networks?
-
Is that on ESPN?
It actually is on an ESPN network. How many UND games are on an ESPN network?
-
You think a basketball conference gives 2 sh-ts about Gameday? lol!!!!!! Also you must think Gameday is going to make Fargo an annual thing like Alabama and FSU. Lol!!!!! You are funny.
They have said they would like to make it a frequent stop. They love the atmosphere and fan enthusiasm. Who on this forum thought they would come back a second year in a row? They have been in Fargo more than 95% of FBS schools. More than 80% of BCS conference schools. 100% more than any Big Sky schools, whether they are FCS like now or FBS in the future like SV is guaranteeing.
-
The fans of your allies namely UNI don't want NDSU or any Dakota team in their "basketball" conference. The message board was flooded with people slamming the SU's the last time membership was up for grabs. I think getting Into the SB will be easier than getting into the MVC.
If it were up to fans opinions, UND would not be in the Big Sky, or any other conference for that matter. It is up to school presidents, who look at the landscape of college athletics and decide what is best for the sustainability of their conference, not what the fans think. Do you suppose the Missouri Valley would be happy if one of their basketball playing schools had ESPN College Gameday on their campuses? NDSU will never be in the Sun Belt. Maybe the MAC or MWC, but not the Sun Belt as it is today.
-
That is a nice post. I hope some day the Dakota 4 will be all in the same conference in all sports. I wonder if the SL will get a TV deal like the Big Sky Conference, if that happens plus the MVFC offering UND football membership may persuade UND to look at that option, of course dealing with Douple may be another issue.
I think an NDSU move to the Missouri Valley in all sports is more likely than either the Sun Belt or Big Sky. The Indiana State media have been saying all along that the MVC should add NDSU, and now they say there may be some movement among the conference schools that it may be a good idea. They are afraid that with the football success that NDSU is having that they are becoming more attractive to FBS conferences (like the MWC or MAC) and that the window may be closing to get them in the MVC. NDSU has powerful allies in the MVC, like both ISU's, and UNI. They just would probably have to find a private, non-football school to go with them, possibly ORU or Denver. .
-
We still get no respect in the Big Sky. PSUs five fans and their writer are acting like we won the game on accident and were gifted it by PSU.
PSU is just a bad football team. I saw the last quarter or so and their QB was not very good. Also, the head coaches time management at the end of the game was horrible. He should have taken a time out before the UND punt and get the ball back with about 2 full minutes left instead of 1:20.
-
So the real issue is with my claim that UND and some of the BSC will move up to FBS. Any move won't occur after 2017 when Idaho is evicted from the Sun Belt. Bisonvile has a major issue with that so they attempt to discredit me for trivial things, when they write far worse about UND and Grand Forks without getting Tony's dander up.
Anyone claiming UND will go to FBS is on a target list from the Vile. The subject totally enrages the bizon, as they think UND should not be allowed to move up as the bizon don't have an offer from an FBS conference.
No, it just shows a pattern of your unfounded and irrational claims.
Bresciani is at it again. They found another body in the Red River in Moorhead and a member the Moorhead PD was interviewed cautioning about jumping to conclusions when a body is found. Bresciani must have gotten to them and told them what to say.
-
Its simply what university presidents do: they attempt to control the narrative when it comes to public relations. I didn't say he was successful, but few stories have come out in the media since the day after the body was found. Local journalists generally revere a university president, so going against the wishes against Bresciani is like a good Catholic going against the wishes of a pope. The bisonville thought impugned to me that Bresiciani has impaired the investigation is blatantly false. I never said such a thing.
Bison73 and BD are carrying the water for Bresciani on this board. Bresciani should be listened to with a strong does of cynicism: after he almost certainly ordered deleting his emails to avoid an embarrassing revelation. Not exactly a pillar of integrity.
Is anybody still buying this idiot's claim of UND and the BSC's secret agreement to move to FBS. If this thread doesn't prove SV is delusional nothing will.
There is NO cover up or hindering of an investigation. The Moorhead PD told people not to speculate until more was known about the cause of death.
Please try to be rational. I know it's hard if not impossible for SV, but I can't believe he appears to have loyal followers on this site that seem to agree with him.

I'm not predicting this, but let's talk about the possibilities of us attaining that record, and, if we do, will we be in the playoffs?
Only if EWU is one of the wins. You would have to have a big win against a top team to get in with 5 losses.
-
Going off topic here, I was kind of surprised that Western Illinois made it so close. I'd still be surprised to see FU lose a game, much less two, this year.
I don't believe in "moral victories" myself. Whether it be UND for coming close against Montana or even Western Ill coming up close in yesterday's game. However, i do believe I am seeing a trend in UND's football program. The biggest is in not giving up and following a game plan laid out by a competent coaching staff. If this continues, the gap between UND and Fargo will grow smaller in a relatively short period of time.
If you mean by gap closing it going from a 5-6 touchdown gap like last year to a 2-3 touchdown game next year, I agree. If you mean it will be a pick-em game in the next 2-3 years I think you are overly optimistic.
-
I disagree a somewhat. Two weeks ago I would have said NDSU would thrash UND but I am not so sure anymore. NDSU doesn't appear to be as good this year (time will tell) although still a very good team with a pretty average offense. I don't doubt NDSU would beat us but I doubt they could run up the score with how much the defense has improved. It is pretty natural for a team that has been riding high like NDSU to start to move back to the pack some because that level of success is pretty much impossible to maintain. UND was in a low so some upward swing would be expected, it just seems the defense has improved a lot faster than expected by most people.
It was interesting watching and listening to the TV broadcast because they were talking about the great talent on the UND defense. Well most of the guys playing were on the roster last year but the defense was terrible. I think it says more about the coaching staff and the work ethic of the guys that stuck it out, than it does about talent level. The defense is getting better every week and that isn't improved talent, it's guys knowing what to do and getting the job done.
NDSU will lose a game or two in the MVFC this year and UND will win a game or two in the BSC this year. It doesn't mean the gap is closing. NDSU lost games they shouldn't have in some of their National title years and UND won some BSC games those same years. The gap didn't close those years.
-
Completely stupid comment.
UND played a close game against Montana and had a very good opportunity to win.
To sell that short is only typical of NDSU fans.
UND is on the rise, and much sooner than most expected.
At least one Sioux fan admits they are into moral victories. I would have a problem with my starting QB saying after the game that "we outplayed them the entire game" when his offense may not have had 100 yards of total offense in the first 3 quarters.
-
Just shut up. We have a long way to go to even be relevant in ND again. Two losses against MT schools don't do anything when they have won 29 in a row. Just knock it off.
But they really were wins in UND fans minds. Maybe, just maybe, Montana didn't bring their A game because it was a game they should have won easily and UND was thinking this was a big game for them. They also left their best receiver and tight end at home and their best (and by a long way their best) QB got hurt and left the game early. Montana didn't look to be into the game just like NDSU didn't look to be in the WIU game today.
I know UND fans like to make fun of the "It's the Super Bowl for whoever is playing NDSU" thought, but it is. Just ask the Montana coach. Before the NDSU game, he said he could say the NDSU game is just another game but he would be lying. A couple of players from Western Illinois said before the game this week that a win against NDSU for be a program changer.
The real test for how far UND has come is later in the season when they are playing an Idaho State or Weber State or Northern Colorado, teams that will have no reason to overlook UND or take a win against UND as a given.
-
I love how he takes the time to do that stuff. He spends every spare minute thinking of how to develop the program, whether it be on the field, off the field, recruiting, fanbase....
I agree, great for Bubba to reach out like that.
I have a question. Speaking of developing a program, what do you UND fans think about the staff pulling the redshirts off the 9 or 10 true freshmen this year? It is obviously a rebuilding job this year without much hope for post season play. Do you think it would have been smarter to redshirt them and trade their least productive year for what should be their most productive year?
Not criticizing your staff, I think Bohl and his staff were way to quick to pull the redshirts off of Morlock, Gee-Tucker and DeLuca last year to basically play special teams and in mop up duty. I would much rather that they were redshirt freshmen this year instead off true sophomores. Unless the true freshman is going to start and is much better than their competition, redshirt them.
-
Good point, thanks for mentioning it. Right now if you are a good athlete and a good FB player and you come to UND, you will have an excellent chance at starting or at least getting lots of playing time. That is one thing Bubba will have to use early on.
So how does that conversation start? Sure, you could go to NDSU and maybe get a couple of rings, win some FBS games, maybe have ESPN Gameday come to town, but you may have to redshirt and maybe even wait longer to get playing time, or you could come here to UND and play right away, because we have nobody better than . you right now. That is a great strategy,
-
Gameday should just set up shop in the pig research barns. It would only be right that they get the true NDSU/ Fargo experience by smelling pigshit all day.
Or they could go to the Alerus Center during a UND football game and get that same experience.
