Alerus sounds mighty quiet on teh radio!

In all fairness the two teams play a very similar style of football.

Not sure on Prarie View but I think Ferris was like $180,000. And if we add inflation, I presume that means ticket prices are also going up to account for the extra coin spent on bringing teams in for the woodshed beating.

NDSU's offense does fine when it needs to. When you have a good defense, their is a lot less urgency to score. You can patiently wait for the defense to give you good field position. That said, tough to compare two offenses with two completely different mentalities playing two different sets of opponents with two completely different defensive units to compliment them. Should be a fun game to keep tabs on up in Grand Forks this weekend.

If NDSU is paying $500,000 for a home game, that means we are more than likely in a BCS conference(not happening obviously)....or is this game in about 10-20 years?

Coached Coach K...

19,000 with 4,000 of them being students makes a huge difference....and the Jacks did just fine.

Jimmy was a good player. Wasn't he kinda drafted to be something other than an extra lineman though?

Jacks handled the noise in Fargo just fine last year.

Figured you would have trouble saying his name after the unforgivable beatings he threw down on UND.

Two teams that would have probably beat UND like the red-headed stepchildren that they are. If your only hope at beating NDSU is the "miracle" game, shows how different the programs are.

lol @ darell living in the mid late 90's. I don't think we need the Sunbelt to stay "one up" on El Forko Grande, I think 10>1 speaks for itself.

I think NDSU has a better way of doing things than Faison does. Go out and win a big game and then people talk about the game rather than the less than perfect conduct of the players. The butthurt.

Bohl leaving could be bad, but NDSU can be looked at similar to UND hockey, even for a bad coach, it is still easy to maintain a pretty solid record. Top300 recruits do not end up at NDSU anyway. If DI goes to 3 levels.....NDSU would continue to do fine. NDSU MIGHT win the MVFC. No guarantees in weird power conferences. I'll take Montana to win the BSC but they could easily end up 4th or 5th. IF UND ends up in the playoffs in Fargo....bad things will happen.

Solid front 7 last year. Tough to compare two teams though when they don't play similar teams.

Apparently supposed to be pretty good.\ Your post is rather full of envy. We really have nothing to go on in assuming its one of Snyder's worst or best teams. If UND had played this very K-State team and been beaten by 30-40 points, you'd probably be posting something along the lines of "K-State is a great program and is consistently good under LHCBS."

You listed elite programs. Plenty of "good" programs would probably rather not schedule top notch FCS schools.

Bigger in that OSU was ranked one spot higher than K-State and EWU isn't as good as NDSU sure. Hard thing early in the year to figure out how good some of these teams are. A.) Sagarin stats are for one game scenarios I believe. Of course NDSU couldn't handle an SEC schedule. Even Alabama couldn't if you only gave them 63 scholarships. Could NDSU play with the lower SEC schools? Probably a few of them. Mel Kiper seems to think so anyway. There was no flukey luck in beating K-State. NDSU shut down their running game...NDSU ran the ball effectively. That is how football games are won.

Someone will break him sooner or later.

Is it so hard for you to believe NDSU could be a reasonably successful FBS team?

Coach is not getting any younger...

Says a person who I presume watches hockey and probably cheers when a UND guy "wins" the fight...,

I wouldn't laugh either if me and a buddy picked a fight with a smaller guy and he put me down like a sick dog.

Pardon...we'll subtract the pregnancy and throw in murder. One of the children becomes a murderer. Going to trash the entire family now?

Big sign has the crest in the union. We walk by it every day. Annoyed by the usage of it rather than the name itself. Don't know how many times that will be said but everyone is entitled to their own thought process.
