    Cut this guy loose.  He is cancer.  With draw the offer NOW.

    Just rec'd an offer from Youngstown.  Cut him loose.

    Maybe send him a copy of Funk and Wagnalls dictionary so he can look up the meaning of the word "committed".  He obviously doesn't know.

    Montana quarterback Clifton McDowell transferred to Temple in January and is transferring again to McNeese St. 

    That will be his 6th school in 6 years.  He also committed to Southern for a couple weeks somewhere in his journey but never went there. 

    The N$AA is going to have to put a minimum waiting period between transfers as well as limited number of times you can transfer.   Things are beyond "out of hand".

    Would agree with this. Indiana State would be very winnable as well.

    I've got Indiana State in the win column, but not a sure win since UND almost lost to them last year

    These kids make more than a CFL player does or NBA d league player 

    they take a pay cut after graduation

    i wonder how much of this money is left after graduation or is in gold around the necks of some of these players

    same as the oil boom , everyone had all the toys in the world, no savings and nothing to show except bills when the bust came again 

    ‘tell me where I’m wrong 

     

    Well, kids that blow their NIL money will get a education in life.   Maybe it will teach them to save the money if they get a second chance at more.   Most times those lessons are better than what you learn in the classroom.

    I don't like the paying for a playoff game either.  The only positive I can come up with is maybe if they know they have that base for ticket sales for a playoff game it makes it easier to bid to host.

    I'd think the AD would bid based on what he thinks it takes to secure the game, not on how many show up.   Losing money on the first round is not uncommon I bet.

    No arguments on pretty much all of it from me minus the money grab part. They aren't getting any extra money from anyone on it, unless you have to buy the ticket and aren't going to use it I guess?
    I wonder if you call in if you can remove the playoff game from your invoice, similar as you have been able to in the past with the hockey playoff series or like they said you are able to do with the Hall of Fame game. Being that it is a separate line item, I would guess the answer is yes.

    I'm sure it was a joint decision, but I'm curious if the REA (who handles the tickets) or the Athletic Department came up with the idea.

    If Bubba follows his usual pattern this will be the year we miss the playoffs altogether and then the athletic dept has the money.  I agree with Oxbow, it's a money grab.

    You might be on to something about the idea originating with REA.

    Quality, proven OL can make pretty solid money in today's transfer portal world. Kilty did just fine for himself ending up at K-State, he was one of the top OL available.
    Really sucks, but unfortunately it looks like it is the way it is going to be for the foreseeable future....

     

    Agreed, but dealing with angry season ticket holders who lost their seat for a playoff game because they didn't go buy them within the first few days is equally as frustrating, as is trying to sell tickets, not knowing what seats are going to be available. Understand why it was done, not sure this was the year to test the waters on it though.

    Can't they sell the season ticket holders their seat after the game is announced?   Isn't that how it's done elsewhere?  It really doesn't matter to me since I'm not a season ticket holder, but it sure isn't adding any incentive for me to run out an buy either.

    So season ticket renewals are available starting today. Everyone will be charged for tickets upfront for a home playoff game for the 2024 season.  If no playoff game  in 2024 then those dollars are carried over for a potential 2025 home playoff game.  Ridiculous IMO. One should have the option to buy playoff tickets....not be forced to buy and prepay for those tickets. Based on the schedule there is minimal chance of making the playoffs much less hosting. Just another money grab.

    I don't have season tickets but this is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.   Forcing people to buy something is never good.

    if it's FBS it would be a FBS conference in the Central Time that would rival the MWC and the MAC for G5 "midwest" superiority.

    If it's FBS, yes, but good luck getting that to happen.

    what's your plan/idea for the dak4 to move away from being red headed step bitches of the mvc?

    What would the Summit offer that the MVFC doesn't do now?   I actually see the Summit football as being a weaker conference if you ever got it going

    Football loses in 1st round of NCAA

    WBB loses in first round of Summit

    MBB loses in first round of Summit

    Hockey loses in first round of NCAA

     

    Hell of an athletic department.

    I was just about to post that.   Seems to be a trend.   A rather alarming trend.

    Midco I believe is still under contract to continue the broadcasts, not sure who will call the football, BB and hockey games.  

    But how long does that contract run and what changes can be anticipated when it comes time to renew?

    In light of the events since the last game(1 and done playoff appearance)...

    2024 North Dakota Football Schedule
    Aug. 31            at Iowa State - LOSS
    Sept. 7            vs. Montana - LOSS
    Sept. 14          vs. Idaho State- TOSS UP
    Sept. 21          vs. San Diego-WIN
    Sept. 28          vs. Murray State*-WIN

    Oct. 5               at North Dakota State*-LOSS
    Oct. 12             BYE
    Oct. 19            vs. Northern Iowa*- TOSS UP
    Oct. 26             at Youngstown State* - LOSS
    Nov. 2              at Indiana State*-TOSS UP
    Nov. 9              vs. South Dakota State*- LOSS
    Nov. 16            vs. South Dakota* - TOSS UP

    Nov. 23            at Illinois State* - LOSS

     

    We have 5 all but guaranteed LOSSES, 1 probable LOSS(MONTANA), 2 all but guaranteed WINS and 3 TOSS UPS.

    Lose at home vs UNI and we could lose the last 7 games of the season.

    Best case is 7-5 and a playoff berth, worst case is 2-10.

    Would make a bet we have no more than 7 wins and at least 5 losses.

    I don't think I would call uni a toss up.   Loss in my book

    I'm assuming this would take Bubba into retirement? Or no?

    Bubba would be 65 at the end of the 27 season.   Who knows?   He could conceivably hang around for another extension.  (unfortunately)

    bet we loose to idaho and san diego

    Actually I'd bet we lose to Idaho State and Indiana State.   We always play terrible against Idaho State and we damn near lost to Indiana State last year.   And we play Indiana State on the road this year.
