Who the heck cares if we beat them or not. Look at the big picture, I'd much rather settle for a playoff appearance followed with a playoff win. One game doesn't determine our season, but one season determines our playoffs.

I always loved Kenny Golladay. Too bad we couldn't hold him.

Yea, and maybe his Uncle Vince could come here and coach. Win/win for us.

But a Grover or Heidelbaugh type QB is almost worse than nothing, and I remember how hyped people were about H when we first signed him.

So why waste a scholly on Grover at QB? Find some other place to fit him in. The same goes for any potential HS QB recruit. Get someone who has great potential, no use getting someone just to say we got a QB in this class. We don't need another Grover just marking time. I'd rather see no QB in this class than another marginal one is what I'm getting at.

Here's hoping for a good day tomorrow. See who we get, figure out what we still need and finish off with the Feb LoI day.

And Fort had a lot of legit offers too!

Aren't we all learning something every day? Hopefully someone learns how to keep our quality commits.

It looks like Bubba and company still have a lot to learn about the fine art of recruiting. It's bad enough when we have kids verballing elsewhere instead of here, but to lose a top notch commit the week of signing just sucks beyond belief. I sure hope Bubba has a plan B and someone is booking airline reservations or planning a road trip tomorrow. If we have to settle for the Best of the Rest after the early signing date, man I shudder at the thought. And as I keep preaching, we need to improve on all aspects of recruiting or we''ll always be middle of the pack or worse.

Seems odd you would say that considering what you said in a different post. I thought you like to wait until they get here

You really believe I'd give them credit for skill?

I learned after Bohl left, don't get your hopes up about the Bison dropping back to the middle of the pack. They are, beyond a doubt the luckiest SOB's I've ever seen. They will have old and new coaches that will do the same as before, and we'll have old and new coaches that will do the same as before. That's life.

Let's say I like their stats and film. Come on man, you gotta be impressed with something.

I agree with everything you said, and especially on recruiting. I keep saying Bubba simply can't recruit and that is our biggest downfall. The only kids from our 19 class that have really knocked my socks off are Case and Riviere . We are just getting out maneuvered by other schools on way too many great athletes.

I watched the NDSU MSU game this afternoon and it's a tragedy we didn't get to play MSU during the season. Brady, John, and JJ would have run wild on these guys. I can see why NDSU won, MSU is vastly overrated.

Maybe we should have kept Rudolph and fired Berry instead? *JK.*

Fixed your post

I think this is going to be a very long off season for us. We still have lots of unanswered questions, plus the frustration of watching other teams playing post season.

I would sure hope so. UNI looked like they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag yesterday. I didn't see the whole game but what I did see wasn't impressive.

I would sure hope so. I had to run that post past the censors at the gobc.

One things for sure, if things still don't improve next year than it's all on Bubba. No way can he dodge the blame again. Now the big question is, does he hire someone better or will just go back to the same well and take a mediocre candidate? If we have another 6-5 season next year the program will be such a deep hole we won't see daylight for years to come.

I was out of town this weekend for a destination wedding but it looks like I didn't miss much. I didn't see the game or listen to it but skimming the GDT it's just the same old sheet show. I keep preaching Bubba can't recruit and the lack of QB must have been front and center for this game. It beats me why he didn't go with Boltman after the Idaho disaster. I doubt that anything will change by getting rid of Rudy and Kostich, it's still Bubba's philosophy. For those saying we can't afford to let Bubba go, remember that we aren't on the hook for everything if Bubba gets another job and the bigger question, can we afford to keep him? Cut our losses and start over. Please!

It's frustrating that Muss could get guys like Golladay but then we couldn't keep them, and now it seems we can't even get the really elite players any more. Right now the QB position is beyond frustrating. No way should Bubba have gotten himself into this position. I sure hope Boltman is ready to start next year.
