I was at both the UND game and the NDSU game this weekend. IMO, if two teams played tomorrow, Vegas would give our boys about 10 1/2 maybe 14. The Bison are a mature team with an strong identity. UND is currently neither.
But they are not playing tomorrow, or next year or the year after that. So, lets hope Mussman is developing an identity for this program as it enters the BigSky. If he does that and recruits to support it, I'm not worried about any future matchups with our friends in Fargo.
