    Any recruits going to be In Fargo tomorrow for the big game? Could be good/ bad depending how the game goes. Hopefully Feeney can find the Moorhead recruits some tickets!

    I know recent offeree Eli Gillman is going to be there.

  2. The problem with figuring out the placement of UNI is the fact that they lost to the  number 5 and 6 teams by the slimmest of margins in the last minute.  I know, I know, quality losses, but those are two very good teams that they are comparable to.  I don't believe them to be a top 10 team at the moment, but I have them in my top 15 - mainly looking at who is/isn't playing in the Spring, and the fact that some of those teams have only played 1 or 2 games.  After the top 10 it's a pretty big crapshoot.....

  3. People might not pay close attention to this poll this year, but the AGS poll (which I've always found to be one of the most accurate) has our boys number 1 after this week.  The thing I like the most is that there isn't as much "Slot voting" and results matter.

    These voters actually watch the games.

    And most are fair, even the Bison ones, when it comes to UND.  Not sure if I'm the only SS regular who votes in that poll - anyone else?  This one was a crapshoot.....

    Good motivation for the team.

    Very true.  But SDSU is a very good team so I think the 11 point spread makes sense as I would still consider the Hawks unknown at this point to a lot of people (although last weekend definitely opened some eyes).

    While I'm encouraged by last weekends results UND does have a tendency to crap the bed after nice wins like that.  If our lines can play like they did last week, and we can get more out of the passing game I think UND has a good shot.  I think that SDSU will be a lot tougher in the trenches, and I'm still a little worried about our run defense although they did very well last weekend.  

    I'm very much looking forward to what should be a good battle of two good teams.

    What about UCA to summit if/when WIU leaves?  The Southland isnt what it once was, and they have baseball and are only 3.5 hours from ORU and 5.5 hrs from Kansas City.  Football could play in a football only conf or as an associate member somewhere, and they are solid football program in case the Summit eventually ads it (unlikely but ya never know).

    UCA is going to end up in the ASUN I believe, along with Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State.

    Report: Eastern Kentucky, Central Arkansas, Jacksonville State to join ASUN (naplesnews.com)

    Depending on what happens with the WAC and Big Sky, I wonder if we're looking at a time when the Dakota schools and the Montanas / Idahos end up together.  Could some of the MVFC play football in the Southland (Mo State, UNI, WIU) and some of the Summit schools join them in basketball (WIU, UMKC, ORU - I know that they were there for a cup of tea recently)?  Then have Denver/UNC, Montana/MSU, Idaho/ISU, UND/NDSU, USD/SDSU, St Thomas/Omaha (9 football schools, 12 basketball) complete the new conference?  Then you have EWU, Weber, Cali schools, NAU, etc join the WAC?  Might make the WAC too big.  Just some brain storming, as I'm sure it would be unlikely......

    Graduated in 3 years. Great frame. Seems like he would be a nice get.

    Very sought after in 2017, although I don't believe we offered back then.  HS teammate of Jalen Morrison if I'm not mistaken.
