UND-FB-FAN

Well NDSU's women athletics are an embarrassment, so it's understandable. How did the 2013 UND-NDSU men's basketball game go again?

No Danny, the point is that NDSU only has football. All of NDSU's other sports are bad.

If softball was exhibition, then I apologize to Mr. Corey. UND was after all undefeated versus NDSU this season in all regular season games. Sports were baseball, men's and women's basketball, soccer, and volleyball.

So you're just assuming I'm incorrect in my research and acquired facts? That certainly demonstrates a lack of consideration on your part. Nevertheless, if you consider softball, which I don't know why you wouldn't, then yes, it's misleading. UND beat NDSU in every game played of volleyball, baseball, and women's/men's basketball during the 2013-2014 season. NDSU did beat UND in softball during the fall of 2013. Blame Dan Corey, not me: @DanCorey8: North Dakota is now a perfect 6-0 against NDSU in the 2013-14 sports year.

Klieman did nothing. Bohl built and led the team, and the defense that led NDSU to three national titles was originally assembled by Scottie Hazelton. Bubba brings passion and DI experience to UND - he will engineer successful teams. The defenses he led at SIU were respectable. Nevertheless, he never had a chance to lead at SIU as a head coach; he has the potential to be a great head coach here at UND.

Anyone who doesn't think Klieman is a downgrade from Bohl is delusional; then again, most Ag school fans are.

UND went undefeated against NDSU last season in all areas of head-to-head athletic competition. Secondly, the University of Minnesota is a prestigious university with high academic rankings. In most academic disciplines, the University of Minnesota possesses greater academic rankings than the University of North Dakota; therefore, due to transitive relation principles, the University of Minnesota possesses significantly greater academic rankings than the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Sciences.

Hey clever one, UND has a new coaching staff for this season. UND coaches from last 7 years =/= current UND coaches get it? Oh, and NDSU's new coaching staff may be a dud.

Interesting. Nearly all the former players I spoke to from the early 2000s were very happy about the hire. They believed Bubba would bring back passion and a positive defensive mentality to UND football.

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!

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

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.

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.

If the staff is allowed one more roster addition, they may still be looking to add an FBS drop-down tailback.

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.

Absolute shot in the dark, but here it is: QB: 1) Joe Mollberg 2) Ryan Bartels HB: 1) Cedric Simmons 2) Adam Shaugabay FB: 1) Dustin Iverson 2) Dwayne Pecosky TE: 1) Zach Adler 2) Tucker Nordby WR1: 1) RJ McGill 2) Tyhre Ivery WR 2:1) Casey Young 2) Brandon Walker LT: 1) Brendan Slaight 2) Dan Bell LG: 1) Colton Boas 2) Sean Meehan C: 1) Ben Henson 2) Shea Walker RG; 1) Brandon Anderson 2) Jacob Francis RT: 1) Devin Barton 2) Adam Stiner LE: 1) Jordan Hinojosa 2) Alex Carrothers NT: 1) Shea Walker 2) Jonathan Harris RE: 1) Marcus Cheatom 2) Spencer Cummings LOLB: 1) Javen Butler 2) Alex Hickel MLB1: 1) Will Ratelle 2) Brian Labat MLB2: 1) Dylan Bakker 2) Ben Peters ROLB: 1) Dayo Idowu 2) Brandon Larson CB1: 1) Alex Tillman 2) Chris Carter CB2: 1) Dominic Blackmon 2) Charles Flowers FS: 1) Chris Hannible 2) William James SS: 1) Baylee Carr 2) Cole Reyes K: Reid Tauberheim P: Mitch Meindel

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!

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

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!

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.

Let's see how Klieman and replacing your mighty seniors goes first...
