  1. Washington wins today 26-6 over Dallas with a fifth round never tested rookie QB.   It makes Wentz look even worse than he did before.   Do they have any trade value at all with him?   I can't imagine any other team is going to want him period.

    Nice to see NDSU lose. No longer at the top. No longer undefeated in Frisco. Ag college football is not invincible.

    The problem is, we've now created a new monster.   SDSU is very capable of taking off right where NDSU left off.   We still need to figure out how to get past the first round of the playoffs and make the deep deep run.   Until then, it doesn't really matter if it's NDSU or SDSU making the natty run.

    Whos brilliant idea was it to put the FCS championship game on at the same time as NFL Sunday???

    It was ABC's decision and it shows just how irrelevant FCS football is.

    It's the way it should be.  Even if we had hosted by a higher bid this year, I would still say that.  I like the direction this is heading.  Looks like the egregious error made by a few on the committee will have a positive outcome. 

    It just means that the NDSU AD will make sure UND is always coming in at 17-24.

    Huge advantage.  Played major difference-maker for them over the last 12 years.  ESPN flashed the stats about it on the screen near beginning of game.  Does anyone think our game with Weber has a different outcome if it is in the Alerus?

    Absolutely things are different if we play at the Alerus.     I'll always believe in the dome field advantage.

    They don’t have the same home field advantage anymore. 14k at the dome isn’t gonna give them the same advantage they used to get when their fans gave a !@#$

    Do you still think the dome wasn't much of an advantage for them last night?   I'm pretty sure that place was worth more than the 3 point margin of victory.

    Exactly this - NDSU fired Bob Babich who was 44-14 before his one losing season and brought in Bohl who gave them championships.  We had Muss for 6 years and are now on our 9th year of Bubba Ball (6 with Rudy as OC), and extended him after a 5-6 year.  See the difference.  I give as much as I can to UND athletics and have season tickets, but I would be hard pressed to shell in more money for more Bubba Ball.  Yet people wonder why we can't beat Moo U.  

    I might be dead wrong here, but I don't think Babich was fired at NDSU.   I always thought he was "encouraged" to move on and took a better position with Lovey Smith and the Chicago Bears.   The point is NDSU didn't have to eat a year or two of his contract with Babich leaving on his own.   This may be the only way we ever rid ourselves of Bubba.   There's no way UND can afford to buy out Bubba.

    For those in an uproar over NDSU hosting this weekend, this will be no walk in the park for them.  No guarantee they make it to Frisco.  This could be a track meet and their offense isn't designed for that.  

    But if the Bison weren't hosting this weekend it would be even less of a walk in the park.   I'd love to see them on the road.

    It was a late hit while the qb was sliding/ giving himself up. The game was over. Not good.

    So was the Jack player ejected for targeting or just a late hit and no penalty.

    All true, but UND hasn't ever made it two years in a row to the FCS playoffs.

    Thus why I want to start there at minimum.  They should win 7 games with that schedule.  

    But will 7 wins get us a playoff spot?   Any other team, probably, UND, don't assume anything, it's happened before.

    Steely Dan Principle

    UND hasn't made playoffs in back to back seasons.  Start there

    They should still get to 7-4 with that schedule. 

     

    Just making the playoffs isn't much of a thrill any more.   We need to make a run, win a couple games at minimum in the playoffs.  In 9 years, is Missouri State our only win or am I forgetting about a second one?

    I sure wouldn't assume a playoff spot with a 7-4 record, not with the way the NCAA goes about it's backhanded dealings.

    Why is it presumed that Danny wouldn't take the program in a new direction? 

    He's 20 some years younger than Bubba and is likely to think differently as a HC than as an OC.

    How many times does it have to be said?  Inbreeding.
