Of course, I thought that went without saying

Attended a Nebraska game a few years back and the game day experience is outstanding. I would echo what you've heard about Haymarket. Massive gathering with restaurants, bars and an enormous courtyard with very large screens to watch games. If you don't have a tailgate spot lined up, I would recommend hanging out at the Haymarket. Fans were the nicest, most knowledgeable, passionate fanbase I've ever been around. I'm sure you'll really enjoy your time there.

Isn’t he from Moorhead? Did he live in Minneapolis prior to Moorhead?

Cute It must hurt getting your ass kicked every year. Probably feels better to think everyone else is cheating. I understand.

So out of the hundreds if not thousands of players that have been low draft picks you pick the very few examples of people who rose above that and became hall of famers in Warner’s case. And this is the standard that Easton has to live up to in your mind or he’s a failure? Got it. You don’t have the slightest clue what is said in the team room at NDSU.

Lots of ifs there. If Carson never played another snap, he would have almost doubled the average career span in the nfl. Treys career hasn’t even started yet, really. Might want to pump the breaks there. For Easton to still be in the league is amazing. He isn’t exactly your prototypical pro QB. He is clearly showing his coaches and personnel people enough to keep him on the active roster. He was a 5th round pick, the expectations were never for him to be a starter in the league by anyone who follows football.

Yes I read it, it just simply has no merit. How is it that these players have had such long careers(by nfl standards) in the league if they aren’t progressing.

NFL teams will cut anybody without any regard for anyone’s interest but their own…rightfully so. You don’t stick around in the nfl as long as many of the ndsu guys have without progressing. I wonder why you left out Billy Turner from your non-sensical list of ndsu players that have played in the nfl longer than the league average career length, but somehow don’t live up to SIOUXFAN97’s talent eval.

So your point is that ndsu players in the nfl aren’t any good? Am I interpreting that correctly?

For the record I hope both young men have long and prosperous careers. To your comment, a simple scroll to the original comment comparing the two for absolutely no reason may provide some insight into where the real insecurity and sensitivity lies in this discussion.

Everything that happened on the court after the game has no defense, no place for that crap. But dunking after the buzzer, hanging on the rim after your opponent(who is a conference rival) breaks an unwritten rule of keeping pressure defense on while down big in the final minute? That’s totally understandable from my perspective. And I’m not surprised for a second if Richman had a few things to say about it after the game if that’s how it went down.

I think it’d be interesting to hear what was said between the two coaches. In sports emotions run high, they both felt justified in talking a little trash for their own reasons I would imagine and maybe the history goes deeper than just this game. But if it comes down to just how this game ended, if you’re going to keep your team in a full court press down 20 in the last minute, you can’t be surprised if the other team decides to dunk on you at the horn.

I agree, that all seems reasonable

What should they have done?

You’d take Skunberg on your team in a New York minute.

Lol

Right now I wouldn’t be very helpful in that discussion. Been busy with life and haven’t been as plugged in as usual to the young guys coming through the pipeline.

I guess the final FBS rankings don’t carry as much weight as SIOUXFAN97 in your world. Carry on.

Don’t disagree, but 4/7 years is pretty often. Especially given they’ve proven with Cincy this year they even in a four team tournament they let in a G5

What imaginary criteria are you using to justify that they wouldn’t? The final FBS rankings would agree with me.

Agree to disagree. The result was never in doubt, I agree. But Cincy looked better than a lot of SEC teams did this year. Heck they looked better than Georgia did for most of the SEC championship game

You used 7 examples above, 4 of them are years that the top G5 team would have been included in a 12 team tournament.

How they competed is not part of this discussion in the slightest. However if you watched the game, I thought Cincinnati competed incredibly well. Did you watch the game or just look at the score?

Q2. You realize that you say that in a year that an undefeated G5 team(cincinatti)was included in a 4 team tournament?

I agree on your coastal Carolina point. And unfortunately your likely spot on with FBS working to keep the tournament seeds “in house”. But it would be more fun for fans if it were merit based.
