When does Brewster’s contract conclude? Is Mallory Bernhard ready to take the helm? 50 - 4, even at the high school level, sounds pretty impressive.

Today’s students do not see historic rivalries with the Dakota schools. Maybe South Dakota, but they have not been conference mates since before this group of students started at UND. Yes NDSU will resume the rivalry immediately, but the Coyotes and Jackrabbits, as well as UNI have not been conference rivals during the last 5 or more years. Rivals for us old-timers, yes. Current students -has to have time to develop again.

Interesting computer rating... UND is ranked 11th (14th before Montana State win)

And UND will not have anyone advocating for them on the selection committee. The Hawks have to leave it all on the field the next 3 games and finish with 5 straight to overcome the loss at Pokie.

As Jack Michaels said in the pre-game show lest week... UND’s record so far is win lose win lose win lose win are we seeing a pattern here? would be nice to see the pattern broken.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Guess the post was too long for you, so I will give you the readers digest version. I am not advocating a split. The point of this post is that G5 FBS is not a better destination the FCS unless there is a playoff system in place. It was about the futility of going undefeated in G5, even if it is 2 years in a row, like Central Florida. And that March Madness is more national exposure than a pre-Christmas bowl game.

Alright!! now get 2 wins in a row.

This is the common belief on this board. Is it really though? Mussman was a better recruiter, imho. Braden Hansen and Kenny Golladay off the top of my head. Muss may not have done much with them, but Bubba’s only trip to the playoffs was with (mostly) Mussman’s recruits. Now the general feeling among many posters is that Bubba is recruiting D-II level players. That is not bad when they are natural talents like Santiago, but this staff is not doing a very good job of coaching them up to be competitive. It is going to be tough the in the MVFC.

We deliver... for you

Guessing the problem is that he is based in Fargo and extremely pro-Bison... but he isn’t saying anything that hasn’t been discussed (at some serious length) on this forum other than to post Bubba’s contract, which seems excessive.

He applied the last time around...

The nickname was Sioux, not Fighting Sioux in the middle 70’s

Or the institutional support?

Development at the FCS level is the key. NDSU develops their players better than UND. And please, no jokes about “juice u”. It’s not just physical, their mental development leading to how well they execute plays and not make stupid mistakes is a large part of what I mean, also.

Why dismiss offhand a coach from the most successful team in FCS history? Hoffner has Mankato clicking. Would be a very good get. There have to be some great options out there. Faison really screwed the pooch when he passed over DeBoer, but UND would have been looking for a new coach sooner than now. In a good way.

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.

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?

UND could win the Southland Conference title this year

Joey Bradley?

How many homecoming games has UND won in the last 5 years?

Looked like an attempted pass thru Kelly green glasses. Was ruled a fumble by the zebras and recovery by the guys in red.

Not very mobile before the injury... less mobile now

Doesn't the statement here mean that they were either P5 or non-football

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