Don't worry, they'll only be there for a couple years then we'll reshuffle...................again. NDHSAA really needs to explain why we have 3 classes of 11 man football in ND. Makes no sense.

Not sure if this will make anyone feel better but as I'm watching the NDSU/SDSU game, I wouldn't want either of their QB's either. In fact, they might both be as bad as Hendrickson.

We win this game with any QB play at all. Can't understand why Goska never got another chance to play. Hendrickson has NO business being a DI QB right now. Our WR are invisible right now and they are our big play guys.

Boy do we need a QB for next year. Anyone say juco or DI transfer help for spring ball?

Right on Petey!!! Hit the nail on the head.

Clearly stated and now understood. Good point.

I should have known but it was early in the morning and the guy is just a complete dumb***. If I'd had one more coffee before I read the post, I'd have let it go. Sorry.

You had SIU last weekend and there were an awful lot of empty seats in the building. You sure thats one you want to commit to your list?

First, he verballed to you in Sept. so its not a surprise to those of us who know bball that he signed with you. Second, you're a dope. Go spread your venom somewhere where it will be found entertaining.

Looks like someone was wrong...........................again http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/183039/group/homepage/

Coaches must like their athleticism more this year than in the past. The Princeton style was done to hide weaknesses. Must feel like this group has more talent. Hope he's right cause the clock is ticking on whether this job is his long-term

$15 to watch LaMar? That's absurd. $15 to play Sioux Falls, even more absurd. I think my big thing is just that we aren't playing for anything. In sept. when the weather is still nice, I wanna play golf on Sat. That may change when we're playing Big Sky games but for now, it doesn't make me want to go.

Simple answer; we aren't playing for anything. Once we're in Big Sky and playing the same teams year after year and competing for conference titles and national tournament games, people will come back. What they're asking for tickets to these useless games is absurd. Deer opener and 60 degrees today. Why go watch indoor football that means nothing.

I would recommend that you go to some of the athletic websites in the big Sky, specifically Montana and Montana St., and see the number of Minn. kids playing football and basketball out there. I think you'll be surprised by the number. Good players recognize the Big Sky as a legit conference and we'll be taken seriously wherever we recruit. It is too bad we were the only school in the Dakota's to go to the Big Sky. It would have been nice to have a "natural" rival in the conference with us. That being said, we did what was best for our athletic program. As far as I know, there was no offer from the Missouri Valley for us regarding football. We'll get used to the league quickly and new rivalries will come. UND will be fine.

Always good to see a local kid wear the Green and Black. Jake wasn't perfect but no one will question his effort or loyalty to UND. Best wishes to Jake and thanks for giving us your best for 5 years!!

There will be NO moral victories or signature wins until we are in a conference, playing for playoff berths, and possibly national title berths again. You will NOT find a coach when you have those strikes currently against you. Coach has been here long enough to run this thing out and see where we are in a couple years. He was the O-Coordinator on the National Title team so he must know a little about football. Change just to change doesn't work so let him alone and lets pull for the Big Sky to come up with an invitation this week.

Anyone want to start the pool on when Brewster is fired and who the next head coach will be? My guess is Monday, 9/13 and Mike Leach

The feed in GF was very good. Other watching our team display its lack of talent compared to Idaho, the reception was very good.

You and I don't agree very often but, today, we are on the same page.

That might have been Roger Thomas' first game as head coach of the Sioux.

While the article certainly doesn't make the WAC look very enticing today, we have to ask ourselves where we see this whole thing going in 5 years or so. DI athletics is going to change. This summer was the firing of the first shot but changes are coming. Why wouldn't we look at being a part of a 16 team conference with schools from Montana, Utah, Cal., etc.? I realize that NDSU is in a better place today than UND but from a financial perspective, how much more would have to be raised? Both schools have facilities that are looking to be renovated or built anyway, just build them a little bigger. Whats 20 more scholarships for football? Its not like either school is having trouble finding players and our recruiting has already stretched in to Calif. and Ariz. NDSU is very active in Texas already so whats the big deal. 7 years ago NDSU made the leap and UND didn't. We didn't and today, we're paying for our short-sightedness and narrow-minded thinking. Do we want to make that same mistake again now? Especially when we have no real conference and absolutely no rivalry games on our schedule. If the WAC came to UND, NDSU, SDSU, and USD and said they would put us in a conference along with Montana, Mont. St., and whoever else would we really be telling ourselves not to make that jump? C'mon folks, this could be the answer to all our problems!!!!!

Totally agree. If we're gonna do this DI B.S., lets do it all the way. When the 4 Super conferences their ducks in a row, their will be big conference's that need teams. Think anyone is going to want Iowa St.? C'mon.....................I believe we can do better than the the FCS portion of DI athletics

Think I counted 18 NoDak kids on the roster. I'm good with that number, especially being a DI school.

"Dominant" big men don't come to small DI schools with no chance of playing in the tourney.

Saw this kid at an AAU tourney in Duluth last spring. Very good player, big guard; looks like a running back on a football team. His coach told me Northern Iowa has also shown some interest in him but apparently no offer as of yet.
