I am sure they saw the highlights from our NAIA games and took that for what its worth. Plus our games against USD, and UNC and saw us come back from those (along with Sioux Falls). Why else would these coaches put us towards the bottom.
Yeah, if I was a Big Sky coach and saw film of UND last year against Northern Colorado, Sioux Falls, and UC Davis, I would probably vote into the bottom half also. They certainly were "W's" but they weren't impressive wins by any means. When the top Big Sky teams from a year ago (Montana State and Montana) played the bottom feeders (UNC and Idaho St.) last year, they won by a large margin (exception being 10 pts when MSU played @ UNC).

Buy or Sell: We will have 1 player drafted in the next 2 years.
That's a tough one. Greg Hardin, Braden Hanson, Ross Brenneman, Dominique Bennett, Zeb Miller and maybe a few others all are long shots but have a chance. At least one or two of those guys will be on a training camp roster but whether they are drafted or undrafted free agents is a tough one. I'm gonna have to sell, but I sure hope I am wrong.

Grand Forks to Bozeman: 811.5 miles
Cheney, Washington to Bozeman: 416.8 miles
Cedar City, Utah to Bozeman: 659.4 miles
San Luis Obispo, California to Bozeman: 1,237.7 miles
Davis, California to Bozeman: 953.8 miles
Portland, Oregon to Bozeman: 752 miles
Flagstaff, Arizona to Bozeman: 926.9 miles
We’re certainly not the most isolated school in the conference like some make it out to be. I guess UND is east of the mountains though…so at least good creativity!!

2012 Big Sky Poll
Lets hope the media knows more than the coaches.......
-
I'd say the jersey matches the helmet much more than it matches the peas...this should make the helmet/jersey combo appear much improved!

"The league also is scheduled to unveil its new logo today.
Speaking of new, UND will have a different look when the 2012 season begins. New uniforms for UND are scheduled to arrive in approximately two weeks."
If anyone was still skeptical of new jerseys becoming a reality, this should put that to rest.
-
Difference between the colors: new color is on the left, old on the right. Definitely will match the jerseys better, and is a more true kelly green.

1st Team Big Sky All-Conference RB for Northern Arizona will be in town for homecoming, Oct. 13th! and his Walter Payton Award hunt will be taking a hit that day if Ross Brenneman, Devin Benjamin, and company have anything to say about it.....

The Billings Gazette has continued their 2012 Big Sky position ranking series by ranking the top 10 linebackers:
http://billingsgazet...1a4bcf887a.html
Although UND did not place any names (even though by the end of the year I would expect Mr. Bennett to be on the post-season version of this), the article did feature a real nice picture of the top spot man (Jody Owens of Montana State)
.....and yes professional trollers of Ag school nation, we know who won the game.....

Why can't the season start......NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, no kidding.......

I wonder what the will do for pants with the black jerseys? Black?? Green? New ones with black and green?? I don't see them using the white pants with black.
The team already has all-black pants (e.g. South Dakota game), so I would guess they just ordered the jerseys and they will wear them with all black pants. Some time ago, SiouxFBInsider mentioned they may be considering wearing the black uniforms for all home games, and I guess that would be the simplest way to fix the "mismatched color problem".
Here are the black pants, but you also can easily notice the mismatched helmet-uniform combination I referenced - black home uniforms should fix that.
-
I've got one last buy or sell in me.
Buy or Sell: Aarin Smith and/or Javen Butler will play for the Sioux.
Sell; I don't think UND would've signed two JUCO safeties if they had any inclination of Butler playing sometime in the future. Aarin Smith's situation also just makes it unlikely.
-
Buy or Sell: Kenny Golladay will be the steal people were claiming? I'm not saying this season but when he gets the chance.
Anyone of the three WR recruits could end up being really good, but I'll buy Kenny Golladay turning out to be a good one. Of course, it also comes down to how the QB position plays out.

Which conference has the most? How many does the Missouri Valley have?

Have only been to one game in the Alerus ('03 Nickel Game), so can't speak from experience, my friends up North however, say that UND football games(that they have been to, few of them) can be pretty cheesy for pre-game and in-game stuff. Like I said, that is NOT from experience, just from what a few friends have told me. NDSU has it's cheesy moments as well. In 2010, for the students they played a video that was intended to get a new chant to catch on. It was awful. Didn't catch on. Cheesy. Made my ears bleed.
The in-game experience certainly could’ve been better at UND the past few years; however, a lot of it was attributed to the average attendance which will increase this year. Also, UND's athletic marketing and in-game entertainment department has vowed to improve the game time atmosphere and I've heard nothing but good things. For example, here's a tweet from Josh Kotelnicki:
-
Really - you don't get out much do you. I wonder why they don't pan out to the crowd?
I guess I should've mentioned none of UND's pre-game traditions and activities compare to those of the almighty Ag School of the South
-
Buy on school record, I'm thinking possibly Ross Brennemen on sacks, anyone know what the record is? Or if there is any place that provides such information?
Media guide has most single season and career records. As far as single season sacks, the record is held by Eric Schmidt who picked up 10 sacks during the 2001 season.
-
Welcome to the University of North Dakota gentlemen - have fun, play hard and get a great education. We can't wait for you to take that first walk down tailgating lane!
Tradition/pre-game activity doesn't get a whole lot better - especially at the FCS level!
-
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this years schedule is the hardest in school history by far, even harder than the death march that was the 2010 season.
Yeah, it’s fairly safe to say this year's schedule is the toughest in UND history, but talent-wise this is also one of the better teams in UND football history. Of course, talent alone will not win you games. Team chemistry, coaching, and ultimately execution on the field is what gets it done. Hopefully this year's team can build some unity and do great things together.
-
If any of the other coaches have the success that Hakstol and the hockey program have had, their salaries will go way up. You can't just pay your coaches more and expect success to follow, it's the other way around.
Most definitely; as Mussman and/or Jones have success in the Big Sky moving forward, they should receive the appropriate compensation to justify it. I’d agree with the notion that right now they haven't done anything to warrant a significant DI contract, but hopefully that changes in the near future.

If you scroll down on that page it talks about SDSU's Under Armour deal..... we need one with Nike asap
Yeah, a Nike deal or even an Under Armour deal would be great; however, I'm wondering how that would affect the hockey team. Would Nike or UA require the hockey team to wear their uniforms also? I'm not even sure if UA makes hockey uniforms but obviously Nike does.

Vandrovec blog on salaries of the UND coaches as compared to the other Dakota dI schools: http://terryvandrovec.tumblr.com/
Seems to just point out that UND primarily remains a hockey school.

The Billings’ Gazette is ranking the top ten players in each position group of the Big Sky Conference. So far, special teams and defensive backs have been covered. UND has one mention - Zeb Miller is ranked as the eighth overall best special teams’ player and the second best place kicker in the conference. It’s interesting enough that Zach Brown, the best place kicker in the conference according to the ranking, is a senior this year so Miller could be the unanimous number one kicker in the ‘Sky next season. It’s always a good thing when you have a good kicker, and we found that out a couple of times last season! Oh, and we'll probably have to rely on Zeb's leg to win a game at least once this season too.

Buy or sell a 3-0 start
Sell
Either 2-1 or 1-2 start. Obviously hope for the 2-1.

An indication of a little more Big Sky excitement? Not quite sure what to think of this...
