I would have to agree. Seems to be 2 unrelated things to me. Chris Dilks may in fact hate UND but nothing in this little blurb would lead anyone to believe that? Facts are facts and UND has beaten quite a few bad teams this year....which is better than the alternative.

Maybe he realizes that he is currently playing with his possible future line mates and while they are scoring quite a bit, they are getting scored on even more often.

It would appear that UNDBIZ and choyt3 are wondering why you seem to have a ton of opinions on several different sports and coaches but with each of your multitude of posts in this forum it has become glaringly and in some cases painfully obvious that you really don't have much understanding or the capability to understand the sports you blather on about......................................just a guess on my end, I don't want to speculate ?

Try living in Fargo....I have several friends who are Bison fans and are good people....it really is the few rotten thousands that spoil it for the other 50.

If those numbers are accurate, a crazy amount of FCS players have made their way onto NFL rosters over the last 2 seasons! In 2012, 8.32% of players on NFL rosters came from the FCS ranks so if this number is accurate that has almost doubled to 16.2%. Amazing when you consider that last year the number had dropped to about 7%. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/01/22/in-fcs-huddle-nfl-all-fcs-team/ The number of college players in the NHL has grown quite a bit the last few seasons. 31% last year http://collegehockeyinc.com/in-the-nhl and over the last 7 years over 35% of players making their debut have come from the college ranks. I am thinking the 352 number must have been training camp numbers when rosters are at 90 which would be around 12% and then after cuts with allowance for injured reserve and practice squads it settles in at about 8-9% which to me is still an impressive number when you think about it. that is roughly between 150-200 players that either by choice or by being overlooked by the FBS schools have made it to the NFL....there certainly is something to be said for developing at a FCS school where a player might start for 2-4 seasons versus maybe only starting for a year or 2 at a higher level.

Comprehension seems to be a problem for you. I didn't say that every FBS team is ahead of every FCS team....at the end of the day, NDSU and UND and every other school in FCS is competing for 129th place while the 128 FBS teams are competing for 1st.....but, hey, thanks for proving my point!

I absolutely want UND football to succeed but I am also able to keep it in perspective and realize that success means getting the opportunity to play for 129th place in Division 1 football. Many, not all, but way more than a few of the bison fan base have a hard time grasping that concept.

Ohio state is an outlier. They play by a different set of standards than the rest of the teams in the Big 10 with regard to who they recruit and who they let into school....They were dirty with Tressel and with Urban they are a kind of clean SEC school. Them winning really shouldn't elevate the B10 from the fact they were the 4th best conference in football.

I would agree with him. Ohio State winning tonight just solidifies the fact that the FBS did things wrong for too many years and that they need to make the playoff field 8 teams as the team who if not for political influence and size and money would have and should have been the 5 seed based upon their regular season just won the national title.

I heard over the weekend that our coach is quietly on the radar of a couple schools.

I grew up in Bismarck and have a couple friends that are big NDSU fans and they were on Facebook on Saturday and texting me how if the fact that Carson Wentz and Esley Thornton, 2 Bismarck kids make the 2 biggest plays in leading NDSU to their 4th straight championship can't help NDSU at least be on equal footing with UND in Bismarck that nothing probably could.

Well. Under Armour did pass Adidas this year, but has a way to go to get to NIke. U.S Sales Nike-$11.8 billion Under Armour-$2.6 billion Jordan Brand-$2.5 billion Adidas-$1.6 billion

Well, this would have been Carson's 3rd year as a starter at UND so he would have been a great benefit!

Good assessment. I thought the calls evened out as they usually do.....one sequence that hurt UND was when we were up 2 and Sac State missed a shot and Dustin Hobaugh was grabbed by the shoulder and thrown to the floor which allowed for the tying put back and then on the ensuing possession, Hooker drove the lane and his shot came off the rim and Nash had a beautiful put back to give us the lead and they called over the back as he made contact at the end of the play with a Sacramento State player who was directly under the rim.....just gets magnified when one was a very obvious mised call followed by a ticky tac call(at best).

Solomon Ayinla!

And he could absolutely mash a softball, but unfortunately for our team his love of golf superseded softball and he only played a couple years for us. He hits a golf ball further than most people go on vacation.

True. And who watches KVLY anymore. They have become TMZ or National Enquirer TV

Interesting strategy Cotton. So the school obsessed with everything UND, hence the earned Marcia, Marcia, Marcia label tries out the old I know you are but what am I technique. And to make it worse he does it at the expense of the weakest minded poster on the site.

It was 1979. I think I had Larimore in my mind due to Eddie Beyer coaching in region 2. To finish the story, Eddie asked my buddy Pete Jahner how Linton would be in 1984 and Pete says they should be pretty good and Coach Beyer said he should have a good crop that year as well. So they bet that if they happened to meet in 84 that the loser owed the other a coke....so sure enough Linton(my former residence) and Hillsboro(my birthplace) meet in the state tourney and Linton narrowly wins and would eventually win the state title a couple nights later. After the game, Ed Beyer walks into Linton locker room and congratulates Dan Carr and their team, looks at Dennis Beck and just shakes his head and turns and hands Pete a coke.

I think the biggest "what if" team would be the Lamoure Loboes in 75 and 76....In 76, they went undefeated and walked through the state tournament without really being challenged.(I am pretty sure they won every game by double digits if not 20 points or more). I believe in 75, they were undefeated until the regional semi final or final when Fullerton who they had beaten 2 or 3 times that season took the air out of the ball and beat them something like 22-18 to advance to the state tourney.

Possibly....but if not for the Divide County coach's poor decisions, they could have easily had none.

You are right. I had my title games turned around but marlon Bell played for Halliday.

Not sure if I related story on this our not, but the previous year, Larimore beat what had looked like an unbeatable Halliday team in the title game. My best friend from Linton and I(I had moved to Bismarck 2 years earlier) were given rides to the games by Hillsboro coach Eddie Beyer(family friend) and lost friendly bet on title game. Long story, short....Ed Beyer had inside information as to the condition of the Halliday team due to their activities on Friday night. If I remember, Marlon Bell went to BJC to play hoops, threw in around 25-30 a game up until first semester grades came out and was never heard from again.

Dean Blais did this at the World Juniors when Kristo and the rest won the Gold.

Played Baseball against those guys.
