Digger was freaking awesome.

Man you are stretching. NDSU comments in a UND thread and gets ripped for it. Now they don't comment and get ripped for it. Keep the tires spinning.

Yeah I agree those guys over reacted. 10 fans going nuts on a messageboard don't equate to an entire fanbase. Let's just say Travis is no Dom Izzo then.

I can't defend that. Kid can do whatever he wants IMHO. Not much help for you there. Want my personal opinion? From my perspective what good is going to a MAC school? NDSU just had 6 extra home games plus 2 NC title games in front of a jammed house every week and good fan following on the road. Why go to a lower level FBS conference when the best you are gonna get is 6 weeks off between games and your rear handed to you (NIU) or a trip to Detroit for a bowl game with a bunch of crickets. Once again, my opinion. Kid can choose to do what he wants. No use ripping him or ripping the MAC either.

Here was the problem from my perspective. Travis posted a whole day earlier stating he will have "something" for Bison fans the next day. So after the LeBron like pat on the back to himself, he posts that a kid is considering opening up his recruitment. Talk about breaking news. While I agree that posters are acting like he shot someone, the way he went about it was a little "me, me, me" as well. Goes with today's message board world I guess. Everyone wants to break some news and everyone is a tough guy.

Fact. The most NDSU gave up all season was 21 to Northern Iowa (and that game was in the books early enough) and 20 to GSU. The defense was sick, and that's without 2 extremely good players for the playoffs. The biggest key is no one could get on top of them, and for the most part NDSU was content to grind out the clock as best they could. Even the loss, the Bison were driving and essentially in field goal range until Jensen through his 3rd INT. I've said it on this forum before, UND needs to get back to that punishing defense and running game that gave them success in the 90s and before the transition.

I'll be honest, I was nervous as heck watching ODU dismantle GSU the first part of that game until GSU stormed back.

Serious? I visited with his parents about a year ago and he said his entire focus was basically to get a D1 football scholarship....lives and breaths football and the weight room. But who knows a lot can change. He is a stud.

Grimaldi won Gold by himself. Lucia's kid or Gopher Reilly or Potulny had nothing to do with it. NDSU are criminals and to top it off Holy Cross is in town. One day. Awesome.

Williams is a terrible tackler. Grest ball skills, average cover. Any NFL fan base would roast him.

Crazy criminals. Today I witnessed kids who busted their tails another year for a chance to repeat. Derek Lang was literally in tears for a solid 15 minutes at the celebration just soaking it in. Ryan Smith and Andre Grothmann were dishing out hugs and autographs to kids...no words. So awesome to see.

No please don't stop! We all know they are dangerous members of society.

Right because they sure have had a tough time dealing with adversity the past 3 years.

I know. Serious threats to society. I'll be wearing a flak jacket and packing heat for self defense. Good thing I don't need drugs.

LOL! Wow.

Should be a fun day, CM. Tailgating at 8. Hope I don't get shot in the face or robbed by a Bison player as they get off the bus at 9:30 for the team walk through.

I'm in. But that's tough on your side for sure, which sucks.

Good grief you guys. Congrats on the studs.

And a good coach. #thomas #lennon Nothing wrong with opposing message boards. I'd rather come here than go on AGS. Except for the teams we root for we are all similar folks I would gather who would have a great time in a parking lot with a cooler together. Personally, I rarely puff the NDSU chest or rip UND when I'm here. That being said, If something off base is going to be thrown up on the wall I'm not going to be afraid to defend it. So... Bison fans are fairly split on Adams, not "chasing their tails like they've already lost them to us," as mentioned previously. In the end, it's a matter of resources - scholarships - versus need. Pipeline is thin at LB and CB for certain, good grief Esley Thornton is in the 2 deep at LB and he was backup QB going into camp and 2 LBs just transferred. OL is amongst the least of their future worries. So, that can be seen of as an "excuse", or it can be seen of as "reality" depending on who you root for I guess. In the end, he hasn't committed anywhere yet. And wherever is the best fit for him, as I said earlier...good luck to him, I will always pull for the local kids. I don't have the hatred for UND that most do and yes, I do enjoy following NDSU and the rest of FCS football throroughly. Have a happy holidays around these parts and best wishes on the recruiting trail.

Apparently reading comprehension isn't one of your strong points. And here I thought UND fans NEVER went to any other teams message boards either. So you are normal.

I looked back and the first year they had 13K with Delaware and EWU. They obviously weren't ready for us to tailgate as much (lack of porta potties) and eat as much during the game. I literally could've missed half a quarter waiting for nachos or a dog.

Holy balls, a lot of hatred going on here. I love how a few people can post something on a message board and all the sudden the entire fanbase is saying it. If the kid wants to go to UND, so be it and best of luck.

I really think it is a perfect place. Not a bad seat in the house even though it is setup for soccer. Urban area, lots of food, hotels, etc and just a quick drive into Dallas. Last year we checked out the JFK Museum, etc. Only wierd thing is that Dallas isn't exactly the most direct to get to for some reason. Get to MPLS and not quite as many direct flights from there to Dallas as one would expect, and we actually booked prior to the GSU game. Couple improvements I'm hoping to see from last year: 1. More porta potties in the lots. There were literally less than 5. Didn't work out real well. 2. Improved staffing in concessions. Don't think they were prepared to handle a full house.

If you want an honest answer from an NDSU standpoint it is pretty split. Some say get after him...some say why if he has been to 2 schools already...some say NDSU waist deep on OL depth (which they are). Scholarships are real limited this year, so if UND throws the book at him and looking at the depth chart, in addition to his choice of Major and his girlfriend at UND (if those are true)...then I guess I don't see them as excuses those are life choices made by a kid.

Thank you for not pulling the "excuse" card out and being legit in your answer.
