UND-FB-FAN

Full pads definitely show more true, that is for sure. Nevertheless, I think live scrimmages are the best way to know how a player will perform before actual games are played.

I had a chance to take in practice too. I'd say Walker is ahead of Ferguson and Walker has a good chance of getting his shirt pulled. With that said, Casey Young and RJ McGill both made plays and look good. Alex Tillman and Cedric Simmons look the part; I expect both to contribute big time this season. Chris Carter will likely get his shirt pulled; he puts forth great effort. Hinojosa is the real deal; he has a heck of a motor and bullrush. Lastly, I'd say the quarterbacks didn't look impressive but Mollberg looked the best. The running game should help them out immensely in a real game situation.

Recruits would run the other direction…

We don't obsess at all. Often times our conversations our diverted because of NDSU trolls, like yourself, and their unnecessary comments. And you're not fooling anyone; you're coming on this site looking to stir things up, not check-out UND recruiting. It's ironic that you say we're obsessive, yet you're the NDSU troll commenting on a UND site. Isn't that strange?

UND football has never wore pink and they never should. Yes its a school color but no part of pink screams "hard-nosed" football. Perhaps for breast cancer awareness month it can be incorporated via accessories (armbands, gloves, socks, etc.)

Couldn't agree more! Physical, hard-nosed, disciplined football is coming back to UND, and that means wins and respect! As far as uniforms go, I agree that UND should wear green at home and white on the road. I also agree that wearing black once a year or so at home for "hype" reasons is just fine - it's done around the country. Now, the only thing left to accomplish is to acquire quality green jerseys; the ones UND has now will not cut it.

If UND signs a deal with Adidas, UND won't be able to wear their current Nike black and white uniforms; they would need to wear what Adidas designs them.

The current ones? They're some of the best - they are based off of the Blackhawks uniforms. Don't tough the hockey uniforms, please.

It appears Jace Hellman may get a shot at center, making the potential starting o-line look something like: LT Devin Barton LG Brandon Anderson C Jace Hellman RG Ben Henson RT Sean Meehan Of course, JUCO transfer Colton Boas may crack the lineup at center or right guard once he gets more familiar with the offense.

Bubba does not own North Dakota you moron. NDSU is benefiting from Craig Bohl's success; that could very much change over the next few years.

It had seemed he would choose UND but I guess that changed. Cavalier's pipeline to UND has faded in recent years. Last player was Brady Trenbeath and since then they've all gone to NDSU.

I agree NDSU will fall and UND will rise; as a result, someday (hopefully soon) we'll be on the same level again. And hoping Iowa State beats NDSU is realistic in my opinion. It's in Ames and NDSU will have new starters at several positions.

Sophomore - he has 3 years of eligibility

Fall Camp - Day 1 Countdown to #Bubbaball and San Jose State begins! http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209604068 Expectations aren't high, but I'd sure like to expect 5-7 or 6-6. I think Bubba and his staff have done great thus far given the situation they were put in.

Good luck with your "untouchable" program going forward.

KU was an ugly 6-3 game that easily could've gone the Jayhawks way. NDSU required a final drive to win against Kansas State; without Brock Jenson, Billy Turner, Ryan Smith etc., that drive wouldn't have worked out. NDSU has a first year starting QB this year and yet you are confident NDSU will roll over ISU? That I'm afraid is ignorance. Plus, you won't see near the playoff success. NDSU will likely make the postseason, but they'll be lucky to win more than a game there.

Albeit DII national championships. I was simply stating that NDSU needs to tread lightly when discussing their FCS football success because of the limited sample size, along with only having one DI head coach in their history (that's actually led them in games). I liken 2011-2013 NDSU to 2005-2007 Appalachian State. Although Appalachian State had success after their national championship runs, they never did make it back to the national championship game. I think the departure of Bohl and the senior class (including B. Jenson, M. Williams, B. Turner, etc.) will be too much for NDSU. They will likely continue to have 10+ win seasons for the next few seasons, but can they have playoff success? I think the target on their back is too big and they won't.

That point is fair.

I don't like that argument just because hockey is second-tier in terms of coverage and popularity. I think FCS football and NCAA hockey are realistically on the same level. For example, ESPN would rather cover FCS football than go over NCAA hockey scores. There just is very limited NCAA hockey interest across the nation - it is what it is. Football and basketball on the other hand could break new grounds for UND athletics on a national scale.

He never played a game for Kansas due to injury. And Kansas would do just fine in the MVFC. And one more point - the mighty Ag school barely surpassed Kansas and Kansas State. This year, with no Brock Jenson and company, they wouldn't stand a chance vs quality Big 12 competition. So stop trying to make the MVFC look like an FBS conference. They had only 2 playoff teams last season and one of them was destroyed by a Big Sky team. It'll be interesting to see the Ag school vs actual FBS competition this year in Iowa State.

One of the most idiotic things I've ever read. UND will always be a top hockey school given the tradition and facilities. The coach is only a piece of the puzzle. NDSU is a good football school, but their success is based on coaching. Without Bohl, who knows what will happen. So what they've won the past 3 titles; they have limited DI tradition and many places have nicer facilities, including Big Sky program Montana. Actually, UND's IPF will even up UND and NDSU facility-wise.

Yeah and Southern had a winning record while Bubba was there. Mussman and UND - not so much.

Oh big deal. Oklahoma was overrated.

I agree; FBS transfers looking for playing time or a better situation are one thing, but JUCOs are higher risk additions, often due to grades. Like I said in another thread, high school recruits and an FBS recruit or two a year can get the job done.

LB Marcus Jenkins-Moore, the FBS transfer from the University of Kansas, is originally from Louisville, Kentucky.
