Sounds like Ndsu had a few NCAA related suspensions after the semifinal game for testing positive for banned substances which were being distributed to the players by the staff. Brock Robbins being one of them. Hearing he's gonna lose his final year of eligibility because of it. Pass the popcorn... Or watch the silence from Fargo media....

Your premise on being the most in-bred staff in the country is patently false though in my opinion. Admittedly the definition is pretty subjective, but... Of the 10 coaches on the staff currently, 3 are actual alums (Schmidt, Freund and Schwenzfeier). I'll give you Bubba because of his vast experience with the program over 4 different decades. All indications point towards the OL coach hire being an outsider. So even with Bubba (a non-alum), that's 4 out of 11. Is it really that bad in-breeding on staff?

So under your definition of "in-bred", when Sam King was hired the first time as a GA, Bubba went outside the circles of UND Football to find him in the first place and hired "new blood". But after Sam coached at UND for 2 years, then went to Duluth to coach running backs under Noah Pauley for 2 years in UMD's high octane offense, he's now considered an in-bred hire and not new blood or new-fangled ideas? Got it.

Contrary to expert opinion here.... We need a HS QB in this class. Also, they are very high on Grover. He, Boltmann and Kett will be the 3 battling for the job in spring ball and into fall camp.

Thanks for the insight letsfish. Appreciate it!

Huh?

The people that watched the QB competition? You mean the coaches?

Before Saturday, Weber offense was averaging 266 ypg and 25 points Idaho State averaged 543 ypg and 43 points. Statistically, the offenses are apples and oranges.....but keep going....

Kfgo has a downloadable app for phones.

There are a few wet blanket posters on here specifically that could degrade anything this team does.

Wrong again.

Not true at all. You are misinformed again.

Cal-Poly is out for sure but what seed did they have Joe Protheroe at? Hopefully not the same bracket as Chuck Norris. Would be an EPIC national championship game.

Not the same thing in my opinion. SDSU and USD are the flagships of South Dakota. UND is the flagship of North Dakota.....and there's a great ag school in Fargo. Apples and oranges relative to CWU (UW WSU etc). Plus the 4 Dakota's proximity to each other and history together make it much different.

Wow great reminder Cratter. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion once again.

Santiago is "questionable to doubtful".... I think he plays only out of necessity because they have a bye week going into Montana.

Nor should you...

I have been to Ellensburg, Washington. We played there. We even stuck around for "Rodeo Days" and went to the rodeo. After seeing the community firsthand, I have a very hard time believing Ellensburg can financially support a Division 1 move. In fact, I would be shocked if they did any time soon.

Thanks for the help. Invaluable and cutting edge as always. How much film of Idaho St have you watched to come to your conclusions about this week?

Yeah you got it bud! Nailed it! Again!

Great garment and great cause supporting scholarships for UND Football in the name of a UND Football Legend: https://undfootball360.com/news/the-legacy-grows/

He's receiving the "Sioux Award" on Thursday.

He friggin' better be since the SOLE reason why we are having Homecoming and Potato Bowl on the same weekend this year is because of Phil. We moved up homecoming to accommodate him, combining the 2 biggest gates into one game. Would also be nice to see him make a significant financial contribution to UND at some point.

Gawd you're an idiot.

And if you had bet your net worth down on all your unfulfilled prophecies here to date, you'd be broke and looking for a new job. The more important question: is your portfolio worth more than gfhockey's?
