North Dakota State’s AD represents the MVFC … oh goody …
why don’t they just give NDSU the #1 seed now and save them from playing the next 3 games …
In HS wrestling, seeds are determined by coaches. Can't recall a time where I or any of my buddies got shafted. People in those meetings generally wanna do a good job.
Frankly, I can't imagine a better advocate for UND than the NDSU guy who is gonna wanna advocate for the strength of the conference.
All that said, he can't be in the room when NDSU is being seeded, IIRC.

Couldn’t agree more. You could feel it coming in my opinion. Entz’ coaching style and demeanor is much more emotional than his predecessors. I am a firm believer that players will take on the personality of their head coach and he doesn’t have the same aura of unflappability that Klieman and Bohl did.
NDSU is still very good and could potentially make a run. But these boys aren’t the absolute killers that the players who came before them were. Those guys were hungry, these guys…not as much from what I can see.
I'm curious how much of it is a generational thing in addition to that

Yeah I never understood all the talk around him. Just because he put himself out there I guess and the last name?
Basically.
I got no idea on his skill level or ego or any of that. I haven't followed closely enough. But its becoming a trend for guys now to quit after 4 games to save their season of eligibility to transfer.

All of your above points are well made and I agree.
On the away game playoff record for ndsu, I think it’s also important to discuss the reason a team gets home field playoff games. Is it that ndsu is markedly better at home? Maybe. But if they are playing on the road in the playoffs, that year’s team is necessarily, in relative comparison, not as good as a team that is playing at home.
Yeah, that's kinda where I'm at. There were valid reasons those teams weren't playing at home.

Was Cam Miller ineligible to play that down? Is that why the backup came in?
They bring in the backup for a run package probably 3-5 plays a game. He runs the ball every time. This time they did not run.

none of those teams will get a sniffer of the playoffs with 12, 16, or 20 team tourney
The MWC champ absolutely gets a sniff at the playoffs. They will probably get it often now that the best AAC schools are heading to the Big 12.

It's not only winnable, it's a game we should win. Youngstown apparently played pretty well in the Fargodome today, so it's definitely no 'Gimme'. That said I expect we play much better on the road next week than we did against SIU, and I'm expecting a win.
They were nothing special. Some solid playmaker. QB's were not good.

Landry and Schleusner have been gone long enough that they would bring a fresh approach and be potentially viable candidates in the future, IMO.
Maybe. Maybe not. I just don't know why a football program with 15 years of mediocrity would want to keep inbreeding with coaching hires.
Find the best guy for the job. If he happens to have spent time in Grand Forks, great. But how likely is that?
There are hundreds of college football teams. Thousands of coaches. Many of whom would love to an opportunity to build their resume at this level. Coordinators, big time position coaches take these types of jobs. Lower division head coaches like moving up..
Just need some imagination.

Will Landry learn enough as OC at UST?
Will Danny have the killer instinct missing since Lennon?Or when the day comes do you just go with a whole new regime.
I think the best bet for UND would be to get new blood entirely.

If any of our nursing home representatives at the state legislature had some balls they would close valley city and mayville at a minimum. When these schools were created was a different time than now. Make Bismarck, Dickinson, Williston, and Minot should be turned into 2 year colleges. Some would say political suicide , but I think ND voters would be onboard! No more subsidies for these small town schools close to the big schools!
It wouldn't be political suicide if the voters support it.

SU slips a couple hundred and we gain a hundred.
Pretty close.Enrollment:
Not as close,
SU 12,242
ND 13,876
Remember, Chapman's days of him paying tuition to set hock?The fact we felt the need for two "big" schools was a huge oversight for the state. We should have done the Wyoming model and had one "flagship" or whatever. Yeah, we'd lose an annual football game but other than that... would be good for academics. Think of all the overhead we are dealing with now.

On a more serious note, I just don't see NIL being very big for NDSU/UND very often. Especially with collective action like promising it to incoming recruits or for nearly any G5.
How much money are boosters willing to stuff in low level recruits pockets annually? What benefit will come of it?
The amount of money boosters would need to pledge annually doesn't seem very feasible.
I've seen Texas Tech and BYU are doing nice things that should basically give the kids $10-15K/year or something. That makes sense. They have a lot of alum, some of them have a lot of money. They are trying to put together a team to compete against the best teams in the country.
NDSU/UND/regional recruiting rivals don't have that well of money available. Nor do the boosters have that incentive kf competing with something larger.
For our schools, NIL is nice because it allows kids to make a few bucks. Get a sponsorship or something. I'm sure some of the high end hockey guys have been marketable for the hockey world. Tiktok and all that, I don't mind kids making some cash.
I just don't see boosters at our level spending meaningful decision-changing money on a scale that's makes a big difference. Its one thing for A&M or Tennessee to drop millions of dollars to lure kids away from Alabama and compete for SEC championships. Its another for already small fanbases to dump money trying to out-do each other.
Most G5 and probably all FCS schools don't have enough serious fans* to do that.
*caveat: barring some superdonors like Ralph.

He probably chose Washington because it's a P5 Washington. I doubt NIL played much of a role.
Wisconsin and Wyoming were also finalists

Now their season is incomplete, even a title won’t make up for losing their FBS game to some of their fans. They better get used to it because unless they start paying P5 NIL money they won’t be able to recruit elite talent to Fargo. Elite talent will go to a P5 school out of HS or will get poached by the P5 if they are elite in their early years. Recruiting elite players to come win championships isn’t going to sell like it used to.
Recruiting should be pretty unaffected. The kids who can command any legitimate money out of high school don't and won't ever go to NDSU.
Some guys who outperform their recruiting ranking will leave maybe. But that's a good problem to have and under current transfer rules, would happen anyway.
They get a few kids with P5 "offers" (hard to tell often whether offers are actionable). But that's the exception, not the norm. Maybe that will dries up.
As for the game: people are disappointed and should be. I think if they played ten times it would be a toss up. Both teams probably wish they had a few plays back lol

A relative (now a surgical podiatrist) lived on campus but did all her generals online. It's the way today's students do time management.
If online is all that is available, it's fine. People who want to learn will learn.
We did a year of law school online and it was often ridiculous. Never seen so many young people have "technical problems." Professors understandably had their share as well. Normal for class to have 5-10% of class time get wiped.
Generals...meh. Maybe not the end of the world. They charged way more for online credits when I was in undergrad so I never took one.

Readiness and mistakes are related. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, as the good Ben Franklin supposedly said.
I have followed Nebraska football quite closely over the years; been to handful of their games. Frost’s teams have been very mistake prone and sloppy, hence his below average record. UND’s road record under Bubba also hasn’t been very good, though. Something has to give. Nebraska certainly has more talent, but that still hasn’t produced winning results. I agree on mistakes being crucial to this game’s outcome and really all games, which is why I’ve referenced preparedness (“will Bubba’s team be ready?”). Nebraska coming off a trip to Ireland where they suffered a critical loss is a key point here for this game. Will be interesting for sure.They lose a ton of close games. Kinda wild.

Whenever NDSU is on national TV they always use the Fighting Hawks logo.
They do sometimes. I've seen it a handful of times. Maybe you watch more NDSU athletics than I do.
1 hour ago, siouxkid12 said:outside of football what are they better at?
It's really hard to say that NDSU football is bigger than UND hockey when the last few destination games for hockey have been sold out and the bars run out of beer."Outside of football" is not particularly important. Neither University excels at the typical olympic sports to a level where it will generate Fandom. At least now.
If we go to the bar in Jamestown or Bismarck and NDSU/UND are playing a basketball game on TV, rooting interest among the folks there will probably be determined by whether you are a bigger ndsu football fan or und hockey fan. There just isn't some big independent interest in either school's secondary athletic programs.
Showing up at a fun destination game is all well and good. NDSU had a bunch of folks show up at Target Field for some nonsense bodybag game. I dont think either of those events tell us much about anything. Its a fun novelty thing.
