Plus...with Summit offices in Sanford building, don’t believe anything comes from Sanford without strings. Krabbenhoft wants Augie in. Just sayin’.

Will both will get invites in anticipation of the ever-revolving door of the Summit? How long will Western Illinois be a member? Oral Roberts?

He gave it back to them too. #8 has to be the least likeable starting QB that UND has ever had.

I don't remember for sure the time the defender hit his arm if it was an interception or fumble.
Looked like an attempted pass thru Kelly green glasses. Was ruled a fumble by the zebras and recovery by the guys in red.

From Tom Miller of the GF Herald
"Ketteringham, playing in his first game since a Week 1 injury against Drake, was also sacked five times. In the last four full games Ketteringham has played, he's been sacked 19 times. "
Not very mobile before the injury... less mobile now

Did you just say Penn State and ASU are non-football schools.......?
Doesn't the statement here mean that they were either P5 or non-football

Cut and paste
Not just that one... every interview for the past 6 years...

Is it just me, or is Bubba too fired up in his interview? Just can’t contain his excitement, huh? Seems like his fire has crept into the team this weekend. </sarcasm>

Our dominating performance against BYE has paid dividends.
You would think Idaho would at least get some votes. Their losses are to Penn State and Wyoming.

Driving through Albuquerque last Friday, listening to their sports radio talk show... discussion was about the upcoming U of New Mexico money game with Notre Dame.
Discussion turned to the goal of the season for the Lobos. Was interesting to hear the commentary that if the Lobos lose to Notre Dame and win out the season to finish 11 - 1 (unlikely, since UNM was picked to finish last in the MWC Mountain Division); they would go to the New Mexico Bowl. Then the comment that if the Lobos finish 9 - 3; they will go to the New Mexico Bowl... and if they finish 6 - 6, they will go to the New Mexico Bowl. Sounds like they are locked in for the New Mexico Bowl, as long as they have at least a .500 season. They also made reference to New Mexico State’s game the week before against Alabama and how these money games help athletic department expenses. And how Central Florida has been undefeated for 2 seasons and still didn’t get a chance to play in the FBS playoffs.
Is this the reality that UND wants to reach? To play in the Idaho Potato Bowl or the Doosan Snow Bowl as the pinnacle of the season? Never have an opportunity to play for a national championship?
Then the commentator talked about the apathy of the fans. Said he is a graduate of James Madison and how their fans are engaged and travel well. He said he has previously suggested a G5 split off so UNM can play for a championship, since their program cannot compete with the P5. He said there has been no support for this idea from the listeners, and at least one caller was adamantly against it before I got out of range to keep listening.
The reality is that G5 football is no more appealing than FCS. Having an opportunity to play in a national championship playoff has to be at least as good as playing in some obscure early December bowl game that nobody gets excited about. NDSU has proven that winning at the FCS level generates huge fan enthusiasm and the commentator said the same about James Madison. After all, isn’t local fan support more important, especially when it comes to home game attendance? UND can compete at the FCS level... despite the results a week and a half ago in Fargo, The Hawks can make the playoffs and even win a game or two there. No, they are not at NDSU’s level (yet), but very few in FCS are. History has shown that UND will catch up with them, later if not sooner.
All that said, UND must be ready to make the move if the P5 and G5 do split, especially if there is a championship playoff. Don’t get left behind again.
My final comment is that neither FCS championships (or a hypothetical G5 fb championship) nor D-I hockey championships will bring the notoriety and acclaim that winning a game or two in March Madness would bring. Here’s hoping Coach Sather can raise the BB program to win the Summit and get to March Madness on a regular basis.

Well maybe we could get the presidents of the Mo Valley schools to vote NDSU out of the conference like the D3 schools did to St. Thomas. Might be worth a try.

North Dakota Moose. Infinitely better than Fighting Hawks.
Have you ever seen a Hawk fight? Neither have I and we have 2 living in the trees outside our house and 2 more on the next fairway over.

Okay, next question. Moving forward, is Bubba the guy?
Can’t help wondering where UND football would be if Faison had hired DeBoer. I think he is a better head coach than OC, and he has had some real success at Fresno.
i understand that NDSU has won 7 of the last 8 FCS championships, but it feels like UND will be relegated to the bottom half of the MVFC with the current staff. The Hawks have made no progress against NDSU under Schweigert. And, as mentioned earlier, when the only MVFC teams UND has beat in the last 6 games are South Dakota and Western Illinois, the results are ominous.
its more than just facilities...

Watching the replay of UW and EWU... EWU is down 21 - 0 in first quarter. en route to 28 - 7 (EWU finally scored on a 64 yard pass with less than a minute to go in the half) first half and 47 -14 final. Looks like the 2019 Screaming Eagles are much changed from the 2018 version. Even missed a 36 yard field goal late in the second quarter.
UND can win that game, and it should not be written off as a loss.

For up coming seasons.....recruiting a qb should be priority #1. That hasn’t been the case
...
I believe the offers have been made in the past seasons, but Bubba has not been able to land the young guns... after all, what hot young qb would want to come to UND under Rudy’s system to hand off the ball on the first and second downs and then be swarmed under on third down because it’s 3rd and long and the defense knows you have to pass? Will that change under Freund? Time will tell.

UNC and Augie
A few random thoughts...
NCC 2.0 would be infinitely better than the dumpster fire that the Summit has been. There may be some stability in getting the band back together. Add a couple Minnesota move-ups like St Thomas, who was an original NCC founding member, and late 20th Century conference mate MN State, and you might be able to sustain a league for more than 2 years.
The Big Sky may have been a large geographic footprint, but it is a stable conference that is in no danger of losing its auto bids. Was it short-sighted for UND to leave the BSC? It would be great if SV’s realignment model could possibly happen. A conference of the northern research institutions (either FCS or FBS) would be an ideal scenario. But as Sica said, there are so many moving parts...
Do (some of) the Bison posters not realize that losing the baseball autobid also means that the Summit loses the basketball autobid? I don’t trust the NCAA to offer small/mid-major schools an invitation to March Madness without a conference championship to obligate them. That is the one time that the NCAA gives money back to the conferences/schools.

Iirc, back in the fire Rudy days, someone, I think it was Irish, has been asking why Schmitty gets a pass. When ISU puts 55 on you, it is time for that question to be answered.
