UND has offered Brady Oliveira, RB out of Canada. I really like this kid.

I can see why we offered him - he looks like a DI football player that could potentially play on either side of the ball.

I heard Cheatom was no longer on the roster. There was an incident just before spring ball and he was kicked off the team. I agree that Bell is a OG. Also there were a couple other players who moved positions after spring ball so there are some #2 spots still not set.
The amount of roster change from 2013 to 2014 will be incredibly large. My only question regarding this is why was Cheatom participating in spring ball if this occurred before spring practices? Nevertheless, I believe the amount of roster turnover that has happened is actually somewhat encouraging, because Bubba and his staff are recognizing and dismissing the weak links on the roster. Such antics and inferior talent likely contributed to the poor play of Mussman's teams. Of course, improved coaching and leadership from the top will go a long way as well.

UND is NDSU's #1 rival and NDSU is UND's #1 rival. That's the way it is.
If anyone tries to say that NDSU has "moved on", well then, they just need to pay attention to this forum and all the NDSU people on it.

The fact that there is this much chatter about UND-NDSU scheduling non-conference games just shows how screwed up this whole situation has been made by both Gene Taylor and Brian Faison. I look at Colorado-Colorado State, Iowa-Iowa State, Florida-Florida State, Utah-Utah State, etc. etc. and see that they just do the most obvious thing and just schedule each other! The fact this whole UND-NDSU scheduling conversation even exists is embarrassing to the state of North Dakota and UND/NDSU.

Is this just speculation or do you know something?
Its really just speculation, but given what Bubba has said over the past few months, and how the current roster is laid out, I would imagine they are at least looking for FBS transfer ball carriers.
-
This next recruiting class needs two stud rbs. We need bigger backs that can run.
If the staff is allowed one more roster addition, they may still be looking to add an FBS drop-down tailback.

So you don't see Aeron Carr in the mix at wide receiver.
I guess I went with the assumption he wasn't going to be on the team next fall. In the event he is, I'd like to think he would play over the two incoming freshmen wide receivers, Walker and Ferguson.

Haydick,
Like I mentioned earlier, I'm glad GT hasn't scheduled UND. I'm talking when there are future 12 game regular seasons. Follow?
Yeah, I'd also hate winning three national championships but then losing the first game I play against my true rival in over 10 years - that would be a bummer!

LOL....good one poindexter.
Truth hurts!!
GT won't schedule UND; thus, he goes in circles to avoid directly proclaiming it!
Mighty NDSU recognizes their kryptonite I guess.

The uniforms arms race keeps on going and we keep being left in the dust. We need to sign a deal with a company.
Would like to see a deal with Nike, being most UND teams currently have Nike uniforms. Hockey may be the reason a deal has not been signed - I'd imagine the hockey program is satisfied with Reebok.
-
I see Northern Arizona also has adopted the alternate helmet color idea.
Priority #1 for UND needs to be green jerseys, though. They should be Nike and of the same style as the black and white jerseys. Hopefully some kind of fundraising happens so that the jerseys can be obtained by the start of the season. Fans and student-athletes both deserve to see/wear their primary school color - let's get nice green jerseys!

And what exactly is that trend? That his offense looks much better playing against his horrid defense or that is defense looks much improved playing against his horrid offense? Bubba is not a the savior all of you people think he is, and NDSU isn't going to turn into a sub 500 team because Bohl left. Are you saying he didn't care enough about SIU to put a good product on the field, but now that he is at UND they will be contending for National titles?
Bubba is exactly the savior we think he is. He has a tremendous amount of passion for the University of North Dakota; much more than Klieman has for NDSU. Furthermore, Bubba was apart of SIU teams that beat NDSU and consistently posted winning records - UND supporters will take that over Mussman any day. Just watch as UND improves year after year. Recruiting in the local states (ND, MN, WI) is an emphasis now; it will help UND and hurt NDSU. Replacing Bohl and all those seniors will not be a walk in the park like all you blind Ag School fans think it will be.

Well, you'll have to excuse me but we have been towards the top of every division we've played in for 50 years. Eleven national championships under 6 different head coaches. Have there been bumps in the road? Of course. But I think 500+ games is a fairly large sample size and gives me confidence that NDSU football will continue to be at the top for the foreseeable future.
Let's see how Klieman and replacing your mighty seniors goes first...

You do realize that the H/H proposal was made over 2 years ago, and BF took over 2 years to respond, right? Ya, think things can change in 2 years. God some of you are idiots. Also, if this is a game that should be played for the sake of ND fans, and has "never been about the guarantee" why isn't BF jumping on the chance to play in Fargo in 2015? What's the hold up? Take the offer, and continue to work on future games.
WRONG.
Brian Faison faxed a copy of the initial proposal (2015 in Fargo, 2017 in Grand Forks) back in 2012 to Gene Taylor -- nothing happened after that. Instead, Gene Taylor changed the proposal to a single game in Fargo during the 2015 season. Then, he changed the guarantee from 170-190k to only 125k. In essence, Taylor has been doing everything at his disposal to avoid playing the game. He must realize he has everything to lose and nothing to gain - other than revenue. UND will likely be the better team by the time the two teams actually play.
We want a home and home -- that's how a rivalry is renewed, not a single game in Fargo due to the terms of the ALMIGHTY NDSU ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT. It seems you've resorted to derogatory personal attacks. Everyone knows the golden rule of debate is that when one loses, he or she often has no choice but to attack the opposing debater personally, rather than adopt a new discussion strategy. And well, with that It appears you've ran out of ridiculous replies and you're now calling posters "idiots". Of course, you likely didn't realize that because logical debate certainly doesn't occur at NDSU.

Man are you full of yourself. Most Bison Fans I know and I know plenty are glad we don't have to put up with your _hit on a yearly basis. It's bad enough watching the circus in the news almost daily about some bufoonery going on up there whether it be with something the school did directly or indirectly. Get over yourself already we don't give a rip about the game and most fans on the NDSU side feel the same.
Wrong. Most NDSU fans would embrace the game, and, well, many want it. I know some of the biggest bison fans in the state of North Dakota (hundreds of thousands of dollars put into buses, season tickets, go to every road game, etc. etc. etc.) and they all want to see the rivalry renewed so they can *PROVE* they are way better than UND. Instead, you argue that everyone should just accept that NDSU will always be so so much better than UND. Well, that's wrong. UND will catch NDSU sooner rather than later. You're just using subjectivity as a way to argue your nonsense.

The Weber game was a return game we owed them for coming to Fargo when we needed a game. So that arguement is a non starter.
Why do you keep bringing up hypothetical scenarios? They do nothing for the point at hand.
That may be, but the fact still remains that Gene Taylor has continued to alter the terms of an agreement that seemed pretty straightforward. Schedule two games: one in Fargo, one in Grand Forks. NDSU can have the first game since they're so accomplished and spectacular. As the emails reveal, Gene Taylor doesn't want that, and all the NDSU faithful blindly rally behind Taylor. Eventually, this game will be played, likely in the playoffs. Hypothetical scenarios are a way to illustrate how that just might happen, and how it would've been in the best interest of NDSU to schedule the '15 and '17 games as they were originally proposed.
-
I just find some of your superfluous verbiage entertaining.
That's nice.
-
Oh my. You keep getting better.
Gotta love the almighty bizzon of ag school nation I guess
-
You saying things that GT has never said.(nice spin) Take the one game to get the ball rolling. BF tried to dictate the terms before. How did that work out.
I guess you really dont want to play the game for the games sake with what you are saying.
You're producing a spin yourself with your narrow perspective on this argument. There is no reason UND should have to accept a single game in Fargo in order to "get the ball rolling". If Gene Taylor can schedule a home and home with Weber State, then certainly he should be able to do so with UND. In fact, the ball should "get rolling" with a mutual agreement and a home/home. Agreeing to just a single game in Fargo is what Ag School nation wants, because it makes GT and NDSU look so almighty and powerful. Give it a couple years with no Bohl and substantially better leadership at UND, and then GT's leverage will be much diminished.

Really? You actually believe that considering the state of UND football?
? ? ? ? Not to mention where NDSU is at this juncture. Wow.I believe NDSU has a much better team right now, so then why not schedule the home/home and prove it? Apparently Gene Taylor believes his NDSU team will be better than UND in 2015, but not 2017? He must recognize the improvement trend that UND has already exemplified under Bubba Schweighert.
The point I made earlier was that NDSU should be willing to prove, ON THE FIELD, that they are better than UND. Instead, its all done through speculation. Now, the consensus may be that the 2013 NDSU team was far better than the 2013 UND team, but 2014 is a different season my friend. No Craig Bohl and add in Bubba Schweigert.
-
You have no one to blame for not playing the game but yourself if you dont take the deal. It is about the game correct?
Brian Faison wants a home/home, and I agree. If GT feels UND is just "another game" and won't schedule a home/home, then UND shouldn't schedule the game. We'll just have to meet in the playoffs and prove to Ag School nation that NDSU vs. UND is not just "another game".
-
In a new email Bubba stated that he and his staff have already visited with every head coach in the state as well as a "very high percentage" of head coaches in MN and WI. Good stuff.
Improvement happening in front of our eyes. No reason UND -- once established -- shouldn't be a perennial top 25 FCS program, especially with the facilities. Gotta love the passion of Bubba and his staff, along with the indoor practice facility soon coming online.
-
Take the deal that is offered. If GT really doesnt want to play the game he will back out then you have every right to bitch. Take the deal to get the ball rolling. If the GAME is really what its all about.
Although the game should be played for several straightforward reasons, I do believe there should be equal footing in the negotiations. If GT *THINKS* the NDSU football program is so great, then Brain Faison's strategy is smart: let the NDSU teams simmer down to mediocrity over the next couple seasons, and then with GT having less leverage, get the home/home scheduled.
Weston Dressler

It sounds like Weston Dressler is practicing with the first team in minicamp, and he is doing quite well as a slot receiver. Mr. Dressler might be getting a lot of playing time this season for Kansas City!
