Are you going to poop on the early signing day parade tomorrow too?

Well, you sound like a Bison troll sometimes.

You are posting stuff that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The Community Forum would be a better place for it.

You are a troll who adds nothing to the topic at hand.

Why don't you go back to Bisonville and get to work on that Big 12 application? #trollsgonnatroll #fargoisnotminneapolis

I am sick of hearing how much $$$ the almighty Bowls make. From what I hear, a lot of these bowl games lose money and have half-full stands at best. We need to cut the number of bowl games in half; 5-7 teams should not be playing in bowl games.

More competition = more valuable national championships. I say bring it on.

Why do you say that? SDSU pretty much curb stomped FU in Brookings. And they have curb stomped people in the playoffs as well. They look for real to me. Meanwhile, JMU nearly lost at home to Weber State. I don't know if they are as good this year or not.

Matt Cullen, 1995. Blais had just taken over and the program wasn't looking good yet. I am still convinced that Craig Dahl recruited Ryan Frisch just to get Matt Cullen. Frisch never played much, which tells you the real reason he was on the team. Cullen left school after his sophomore year.

It doesn't matter, I suppose he has committed to Denver already anyway.

Maybe the whole freaking team should be playing in the North Star Athletic Association.

Perhaps. I just think we look like garbage right now.

Like I have said before, this is going to be a long, cold winter for MBB in Grand Forks.

I doubt 2018 will feature the same level of carnage that we saw in 2017. I have never seen anything like it before.

Another factor is FCS programs moving up to FBS and thus weakening FCS. Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Marshall and other schools used to be big-time players in FCS. That has left a void, a void I would like UND to help fill.

That is fine. I just don't want to get into the thinking that finishing 6-5 most years is good enough and all we can expect. That is why Gopher FB has been mediocre to average for 50 years and can't raise enough money to upgrade their facilities.

2016 was an obvious exception.

Yep, but the other side of the bracket is brutal. SDSU vs. JMU will be an absolute classic.

The ultimate goal for this program has to be contending for and winning FCS titles. FB was one of the main reasons we moved up in the first place, so we better give it the attention it needs.

Not bad. I do hope we can get into the top 4 and get one of those #1 seeds.

So we should stick with an easier conference because we will never be able to compete with South Dakota schools? Yeah, that's the ticket. I look forward to a time when we expect to beat SDSU, not just "hang with them for most of the game".

Good to see some positive news on this thread.

The Panthers are a desperate team who cannot afford many more losses if they want to make the playoffs. The Vikings were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Next week they are home against the Bungles. Should be a W and another NFC North title.
