Great post. Particularly as it relates to the ST coordinator. One of the best in FCS/G5 without a doubt. Guessing the head coach, who held that position at a top school in the nation, feels similar otherwise he wouldn't have kept him around. Some people just have main character syndrome. An easy way to fix that is the ignore feature. Works wonders on cleaning up a lot of garbage, at least until people respond to posts.

They would also join the B1G or the Big12 if they could. Why would a conference who's media rights just got slashed add school so far out of their footprint? They already picked up the central time zone with NIU (football only), why would they keep adding extra slices to a shrinking pie?

What are you talking about? UND is getting $50k more than Albany got from Iowa ($500k). HCU played Nebraska and got $50k less than UND is getting in 2027.

Kent State is ranked only better than Murray State and it's pretty close. Toledo is ranked roughly the same as NDSU/SDSU with Ohio not far behind.

Isn't that pretty much every conference?

Well, it is pretty obvious that the team isn't going to spend. Pohlads have made that pretty clear. Rocco couldn't control the slashed payroll or constant injuries that basically derailed the last few seasons. Don't think there are many managers that would have done much better. The good news is that there's always someone that will be willing to take the opportunity. The bad news is, that pool of candidates isn't likely to be real great.

Based on the complaining how they don't do anything, I would have guessed a weekly update would be appreciated. Maybe they aren't even aware that it doesn't line up correctly on a desktop?

It's built for mobile, not desktop. Don't think you can do separate pictures and I would guess most people access it through their phone, not desktop.

US didn't play great but Europe was absolutely lights out. Rahm/Hatton -5 through 15 Aberg/Fitzpatrick -7 through 15 McIlroy/Fleetwood -5 through 14 Those are good Four-ball scores, let alone Foursomes Schauffele/Cantlay won the lone US match at approximately -1 through 18

From the same school who has repeatedly railed against understanding and accommodating how students want to learn these days and actually giving them options?? Blasphemy! Also, not sure what's going on but for enrollment to be the exact same the last 3 years is absolutely hilarious because the odds of it have to be astronomical and it just looks lazy.

They actually have Nate DeMontagnac as the main photo on the sports page. There is a picture of Simon, which accompanies the article that was written about him where he asked the coaches what he can do to help the team and they added a few wrinkles for him to put some extra things on tape for other teams to prepare for. The new head coach also states a lot of the same thing we heard last year:

Some aren't, some definitely are. Guessing anyone who spends time downtown could pick out most if not all of people that were referenced.

The issues downtown this summer have been significantly worse than "scared Karen's from small town, ND". Not sure why things have went to a higher level than they have in the past but it is noticeably worse including more noticeable loitering, aggressive panhandling and open use of substances (always has been a thing, but much more open) among other things.

Playoff committee =/= anyone who does any polls. The good news is Matt Larsen is off the playoff committee as the MVFC representative and Bill Chaves is taking his spot.

This is where I was at too. And the rest isn't outside the realm of possibility. But in no way Nebraska isn't leaving the B1G for something like that.

So a transfer hasn't worked out yet even though a game hasn't been played (first time in the history of college sports), a different QB is taking snaps, the season is derailed already and the OC's job is on the line. Impressive sky is falling 4 days before the opening kickoff! Also, not sure what you consider big bucks, but in the grand scheme of things, no one is getting rich off NIL at UND. It's a nice kicker to help the student athletes out, but it isn't life changing money like the P4 level.

So what offensive decisions is he making? The guy who was at the same college as him last year isn't the starter...

So the defensive coach is making the offensive decisions (while he's coaching the defense) and the OC is getting fired? You lost me on this one. If that was accurate, why would there have been a QB competition? Wouldn't it have been handed to the guy who the HC watched last year?

Kennedy walked so Uncle Andy could run.

What the Herald didn't say is that enrollment is likely to break the all-time record.

Should probably look at the entire MVFC and Big Sky just to see which company we're keeping. Or send a quick email and you'll get the answer you desire.

NDSU literally just updated these today. UND's will be updated soon enough. UND hockey doesn't have pictures of their new assistant coaches yet who were hired this summer. I assume that it has to be miserable constantly finding new things to get worked up about?

They've had the highest or second highest attendance in FCS for at least the last 15 years, probably longer. Flat out, they sell tickets and that's what the criteria is for something like this.

If only there was a third party observer who was at pretty much every practice and put in print multiple times that it appeared how the QB race was shaping up, it wouldn't have been such a surprise to some people. Your grudge would probably have some merit had observers painted a different picture, but they didn't...
