Completely agree with this. I've been tailgating a few times over the past several years, and it is more impressive every time. I was also at the game last fall against USD (Yes, the one were the Yotes won ) and it was a really good experience. Crowd is into it and the team introduction is pretty cool. Most fans around me had some friendly banter over my Sioux shirt as well, but it was a good time.

Its a blast, and having Bubba at the helm has improved the product. I was a big fan in college and was at all the games because I was in the band. As left college I didn't follow the team as closely. There weren't a lot of options to watch the game at the time and the product on the field was getting pretty poor. Once Bubba took over and the hype on this fan forum picked up, I started following much closer. This past season was a total blast to watch, and I watched as much as I could. The team and compete level is so much better. I actually watched a night game over a hockey game one time, which I usually wouldn't do. It was just that entertaining.

Based on his post, I don't think he was saying UND has too many, more that teams need to be cautious about how many FBS transfers they bring in. These players can really be boom or bust, as we have seen. Tillman was a great asset for UND, as was Hanson. Whereas Arrington certainly didn't pan out (obviously there were some injuries. FBS transfers should really only be brought in for two reasons, if they are a significant improvement over the players you currently have, or if you are think at the position. We could certainly use some additional depth at corner this season and maybe next season. After that we should be better positioned based on the recent recruits. I think it is okay to start a true freshman at CB, but to possibly start a few at the same time is a little scary. Which team was it that had brought in a ton of transfers? Jacksonville St this past year, or Illinois St the year before? I feel like I remember one of those two teams were a bit of a surprise because they had brought in so many new players.

I hope Holm is ready to go this fall. I was hoping to see some of these kids RS, but it is sounds like we may need pull some shirts for depth. Looking better at the position, but still thin.

I hope that is not true. I agree, he started playing better, and wasn't he only going to be a junior? Still a ton of room to grow with him.

Meaning what? An injury? A departure?

Any names floating around out there for FBS transfers?

As expected, Willis to the Bison.

Help! What was the bar called that used to be across from the uptown/downtown or across from O'Reillys/level 10? After it was the babylon?

I like the scheduled game with Iowa, really hope that game ends up on BTN.

Could be. If so, it shows you how well we have done at retaining talent.

Very true. I'll be hopeful that we keep him for 2 years, but we'll see. Anyone know the last one and done was at UND? I guess Tambellini was only here half the season ... but who was the last one before that?

Never know, maybe the kid just gets it. Even Toews stayed more than 1 year. Hopefully he can watch Brock enough this year and understand what an extra year can do in terms of development and preparing him to jump straight to the NHL and make an impact.

If was even a chance in his mind that he was still hoping to go to MSU then he shouldn't have committed to coming to UND. Let the situation play out with MSU, then make a decision. Remember this isn't a 17 year old kid, this is a guy who, if he wasn't going to grad school, would be joining the work force. Time to put on the big boy pants and own your decisions. Hope we smoke them in September, and yes, I hope santiago and clive burn this guy a few times. Anyone know if there are any other transfer potential the coaches are looking at?

Does anyone know if there are other potential FBS dropdown targets?

What a d-bag! Seriously, if you wanted to go to MSU, then choose MSU over UND. I can understand that. Don't commit to a program then flip it two weeks later. Thats a d-bag move. Zero respect for this kid, and I hope UND makes him look ridiculous when we play him. I have a lot of tolerance for kids in this age group, and how they make decision, but this is just stupid. You're a graduate transfer. Time to grow up and own your decisions.

Pretty similar to last year. I believe they had a 4pm start for the Drake game last season. Otherwise all 1pm I think

In a selfish way, I like the 1 pm game because its when my kids go down for nap. On the other hand, it makes getting yard work/house work/etc. difficult to get done.

Agreed. Hawks was one of my least favorite options, but it is what it is. I'm still going to refer to to teams as the Sioux, but maybe I'll eventually embrace the name. We'll see how it goes with time. I can't imagine telling someone on a Friday that I'm excited to watch some Hawk Hockey. Still Sioux Hockey to me. Regardless, I do think they screwed up the logo transition. Though I think that is also something that can be fixed fairly easily by the university, by making some slight adjustments and adding some additional logos. It will evolve and be added to. I don't mind complaining a bit on here, but in terms of changing the name or scrapping the new logo .... that battle is over.

Tough to recruit against a school that has accomplished what NDSU has done over the last several years. We'll have a lot of uphill battles until UND makes some noise in the playoffs (which could happen very soon) or until NDSU takes at least a small step back.

I believe that was on the first play of the game against N. Colorado. I've watched that games highlight film a ton this offseason. Knipp threw 2 or three interceptions that game. Santiago also racked up the rushing yards. Is it football season yet?

Any thoughts on how realistic it is that we land this kid? Definitely tough to out-recruit NDSU on some of these guys. Hope we can land him though.

Bahahaha, can't believe I mistyped that.

agreed on Cashman, he has bigger things to worry about right now than basketball. 1 DUI is bad, but being dumb enough to do it twice in two months screams "I need some help". Time for that young man to go get it, before it become an even bigger issue in life.

Too bad from a skill side of things. He didn't play last year and we were ok. Time for the guys to make some noise.
