Pointing out that you continuously repeat the same schtick over and over is a far cry from supporting a coach or "lackadaisical satisfaction with mediocrity" (in fact it literally doesn't have anything to do with it). I'd tell you to keep being you, but we all know that is a guarantee regardless of what happens. Except in person when you have the whole athletic staff in front of you and you choose not to air any grievances of course.

Guessing this probably comes as a shock to anyone who's read your hundreds of posts saying the exact same thing....

Guarantee was less than the bigger schools ($360,000, signed in 2021) but Montana State was also the biggest FCS favorite over an FBS school ever (13.5 points). Heck of a comeback to get the win. Just for reference, UND signed the contract against ISU in 2017 and is getting $550,000.

But the portal is closed and he can't go anywhere until December. And I can't see why it wouldn't be a year of eligibility whether he's on a team or not. Not surprised he (or someone) left, just not seeing how the logistics and timing make sense.

Not sure I understand the thought process in leaving the team. Don't think transferring is an option at the moment. Why drop football (and any possible opportunities that might come up) while you wait to figure out where you're next move is.

I'd say it reflects more on the player than the program. Leave pretty much immediately after someone else being named the starter? Pretty obvious the reasoning. Seems like a pretty short-sided decision given there are no actual proven QB's, but if he wants to look elsewhere, he can do so. Hope he finds what he's looking for, best of luck to him.

Usually "re-opening recruitment" means they already have a better offer in hand. If they are still looking for bigger/better, than it is what it is.

That's what happens when you let people vote on things. You end up with the most generic thing imaginable.

All MVFC his junior year. Walter Payton watch list his senior year. Getting into the top 3 is going to be tough this year with what SDSU NDSU and USD have coming back. I'd take average this year with a look at a big step up next year.

If average is making All-MVFC teams in any capacity and being mentioned for Walter Payton Watch Lists sign me up for that or above average every season!!

They'd claim there is nothing documented that the student body is unhappy having males significantly overrepresented in both opportunities, scholarship dollars and investments into programs when compared to the M/F ratio of said student body. Frankly, they'd probably be right because I don't think people understand how precarious of a position schools using Prong 3 put themselves in if someone was to decide to complain about lack of opportunities. If someone were to complain, it would be pretty interesting to watch them try to defend their position.

Police didn't put the business name in the police report, just the address. They had something about it in the article, but not until quite a bit further down and why they said the didn't identify it initially. Thought it was strange they didn't put that a bit further up though.

Yeah, that one I'm sure. I'd prefer to remember the time UND got a transfer RB from UNI who was buried on their depth chart and he managed to earn a second team all-conference selection for UND and proceeded to get a shot with an NFL team. Edit: Can you imagine being such a negative person that you downvote a Tyler Hoosman appreciation post? Talk about a guy who worked hard, put in the effort and earned everything he got once he finally got a shot.

Yep, mistake on my part and fixed. Yes, SOS has a huge impact including playing 3 of the top 4 offenses plus 3 more in the top 30, plus an FBS school. Agreed that the defense probably didn't feel that high, but again, on average, seeing much better opponents than average and the drop off outside the big 2 or 3 conferences can be pretty huge. In the end, doesn't mean a whole lot but thought it was interesting from a completely analytical/unbiased point of view as to where the ranks have fallen the last decade.

Here's where Massey has UND's defense the last ten years (first 6 with Schmidt as DC, 2 3 with Holinka, 2 1 with Schwenzfeier): 2023 - 26 2022 - 30 2021 - 7 2020 - 10 2019 - 23 2018 - 21 2017 - 48 2016 - 15 2015 - 37 2014 - 52 2021 is an odd one, but guess that's what happens when you have 5 one score FCS losses by a total of 23 points. 2020 is odd for its own reasons. Edit - Fixed when Holinka left/Schwenzfeier started

I made zero predictions. Didn't state that 3rd or 5th or anything was good, bad or indifferent. Specifically pointed out the fact that there were 6 teams in the top 3 spots in the standings last year so being picked 5th (which again, means nothing) would have had them landing exactly where they did last year and it isn't a catastrophic fall off a cliff like some others tried sell a pointless prediction as.

Considering there were six teams in the "top 3" last year because 4 teams tied for 3rd, it appears they are picked to finish in line with where they did last year. But continue to find a way to put a negative spin on everything.

Makes sense since he was on New Rockford-Sheyenne's track team this spring, which Bo's dad coaches.

My sources say different. It is what it is. Walters wanted a change of scenery.

The most promising thing continues to be that a lot of these offers, particularly the one's that people complain about, come from the camps where they are evaluating the players against others, with many of them being players they have had their eyes on already. They are seeing in person how recruits stack up head to head and not worrying about what other schools have seen from tape.

Marshall/Miam/UNI/WMU Air Force/Army/Colgate/Columbia/Cornell/Dartmouth/Fordham/Harvard/Lafayette/Illinois State/UNI/NIU/Penn/USD/Yale Good way to end the week.

Bolton and Menk got the study contract. They have a pretty positive reputation in their field from everything I've seen. They have also been around for a long time, so I doubt it is "his son's company". Maybe he's employed there in some capacity but he isn't an owner.

This is accurate from my understanding. While it is what I consider a "soft" cost, it there is some sort of internal transaction between athletics and the University for that is accounted for.

I think that's how you get in trouble with mis-appropriation of funds.... From what has been reported, there were benchmarks that needed to be hit before the City started paying out money and none of those benchmarks had been hit yet.

No one is talking (publicly) and the City doesn't have any money invested yet. Work site has been cleared out for 2 weeks now. I think there are people living in the at least one of the buildings so curious what has been communicated to them considering rent is due on the 1st. Investors are likely going to start talking next week if their monthly payments don't show up.
