The reward for playing (and even losing to) quality(?) teams.

Faison AND KELLY needs to step down, NEW ADMINISTRATORS needs to revisit his focus on collegiate athletics and the tradition of excellence UND athletics is supposed to possess, and then a new, energetic AD needs to be hired.
Just thinking aloud my Christmas wish list...

You don't even know your own age?
That would have put you around the age of 24. That mah dnt ad up.
But Jake was actually 18.
Yeah, he said he had a kid at UND a while back too, iirc.

God help this place if the Bison take it all again......
Actually, ss.com has been quite supportive and complimentary of the Bison national championships the past 3 years, especially considering the copious amount of trolling done by you and your cohorts. Even though several ss posters may root against NDSU, there has been an underlying appreciation for what the Bison have accomplished.

On the colored font idea, maybe ss.com should use that yellow color Bison fans are so fond of to alert them to sarcasm.
And it's purple, not yellow
Hey Gundy, can you help out the Bizun who failed coloring class? ?So 2 Bison faithful agreeing makes a statement true......good one.

Thanks--I try. I get caught up in things tho, admittadely.
Just thought I would come by to see what sort of thoughts you guys had on FCS playoffs.
My thoughts on upcoming games is that we (NDSU) will have tough time with SHSU (who is hottest team right now IMO) and, if we get by them, I think ISUr will be in the NC game with us. That game would be a coin flip, and I would consider us the underdog going in. This isn' the 2013 Bison football team. We have came back to the pack a bit while at the same time having the pack catch us on there own a bit IMO.
Gotta check out for now.
Wow, sorry CAS, but gotta play spelling police here. An attorney should be able to spell "admittedly" correctly, or at least believe the spell-check program when it tries to fix it for him.
Seems like you have a lot of pent-up issues that have built up during your brief absence from ss.com.

... Well at some point, doesn't it fall on the coach to motivate his players to give their best effort.......
^^^ this^^^
^^^ and this ^^^... This past season we brought in 4 transfers and only 3 true freshman. It really says something when you don't have enough built up depth to not have to rely on transfers to play a large role ...
How good a recruiter is Jones when his recruits refuse to follow his coaching? Mussman v1.2 anyone?
But it needs to start at the top. UND has a PC agenda pushing President and an ineffective AD. Say what you want about Bresciani and Taylor, they have/had a much deeper commitment to the success of the Bison getting into the nation spotlight. FCS Championships, March Madness appearances and even ESPN Game Day, games on ESPN's main network, Fox Sports 1 have put Fargo University into the spotlight more than UND's consecutive Frozen Four appearances (even if they had won one). Change needs to start at the top.

If it comes... I know the first place Faison should call
Curious... Where?

Once again, Nocera hangs the NC$$ on its own petard.
Very interesting.N.C.A.A. Clearly, the association overreached, something it has seemed to acknowledge implicitly by lifting some of the sanctions. Internal N.C.A.A. emails that were recently made public show that the staff knew it had no jurisdiction, and that it was “bluffing” in trying to get Penn State to accept its penalties.

This...^^^^^^^!
Plus they can get quality Italian food right in GF at the Moon!

I think people are tired of losing to teams we should beat, no signature wins, and a bid in the dance. I know the 3rd one is tough and we were close last year (WSU is very tough) but I would think the other two could get accomplished.
Not a Jones fan, but... He is one of, if not the lowest paid DI bb coaches. He has to recruit to a team that plays third fiddle, not only to football, but to hockey during the same time of year. In your own statement, you acknowledge that UND was close to the dance last year and that WSU is very tough. Jones has an extremely difficult task. Would like to see better results, however, not sure even Ben Jacobson could do any better. Understand your frustration/impatience Darrell, but fo what he has to work with, can't see the UND administration firing Jones at this point.

Reputation (not performance) based balloting?
Pretty much sums up a lot of voting - polls, all conference, maybe even tournament seedings.

So, you are an Eastern Michigan fan, Fetch? ?
I use BLU - emu but don't want it as a nickname -

I don't care what level of football this is...the team celebration and what-happened-next made me laugh out loud...
Yes, I know it's Mercer vs Warner but this had to go somewhere...love the official standing there waiting for the "bowling pins" to get knocked down so he can throw the yellow flag. LOL!
Now THAT is FUNNY!

FCS Playoff picture getting interesting going into the final weekend...
Montana has 4 losses going into Bozeman. Would they be included in the playoffs if they lose to MSU? If they win, both MSU and the Grizzlies should be in the playoffs.
Idaho State has 4 losses (Utah, Utah State, Eastern Washington and Montana State) heading into Weber. The Bengals should make the playoffs with a win.
Northern Arizona now has 4 losses heading to Cedar City to take on Southern Utah. If all three of these teams win, would 5 Big Sky teams be invited to the. Playoffs? If not, who would be left out? (if the Grizzlies lose to MSU, they will probably not make it)
In the MVFC, Northern Iowa has 4 losses. They are playing Missouri State. South Dakota State plays South Dakota. Indiana State plays Western Illinois. The one With the toughest opponent next weekend is Youngstown State, who play NDSU. So the MVFC could have a 4 loss team left out of the playoffs as well.
If all the "favorites" win next weekend, Eastern Washington, Montana State, Idaho State and Northern Arizona would all have 4 losses or less on the season; and in the MVFC, the selection committee would have NDSU, Illinois State, Northern Iowa, SDSU, and Indiana State in the same situation. If Montana beats Montana State and/or Youngstown beats NDSU, add one to each conference. Guessing that a max of 4 from each conference gets playoff invites, there could be as many as 3 teams between these 2 conferences that watch the playoffs with 4 losses on the season.
UND still has a ways to go to join this group, but yesterday showed that Coach Schweigert has the team headed in the right direction. Even Rudolph's play calling didn't look so bad with short fields given to the offense by a great defense and Garman having the great game he had. Maybe a little too conservative with the lead and only 11 pass attempts, but it worked. They can finish this year anywhere from tied for 7th in the conference to tied for last (both would require Davis beating Sacramento), pending the outcome of the Northern Colorado game, which now feels very winnable.

If it was not a politically correct left wing academic in charge of this process, one would have to wonder if this would be the right time to push back against the NCAA and their dictatorial edict.

Who are you trying to kid. ALL polls are a joke - FBS, FCS, BB, Hockey. How many voters have really seen all the teams they are voting for actually play? It's a beauty contest, mostly based on past performance with a little current won-loss record sprinkled on. Northern Iowa, Montana, and eventually NDSU get votes because they are perennially toward the top of their conferences, even if they have more losses than some of the other teams in the same as well as other conferences. SEC teams in FBS, B1G teams in BB... I think you get my drift.
What really matters, especially in FCS football, BB and hockey, is who wins the playoffs at the end of the season, not who leads the poll in week 10. Why don't you just grab some popcorn and chill?
-
Eastern Washington and San Jose State games hurt that average. Both of those games were more about the offense being inept than the defense not playing well.
Or a weak secondary that is being exploited. Maybe teams are not running much because they are having limited success on the ground but can get plenty of yards in the air.
-
Just saying after watching the Packers destroy the Bears that Tibesar was probably picked to be the scapegoat with the Bears defense. Not very impressed with Rudolph so far this season.
-
So, does anyone know what Tibesar is doing now? Could he make the switch from defense to offense? Or maybe Bollinger has decided he wants to return to coaching...
