    He would’ve played a ton for us this year. That move made zero sense.

    I thought he transferred there to be closer to home.  I wonder if his scholly was cut by them now.

    For the d, I said it in the gameday thread yesterday but I’ll reiterate. We have a D2 WR coaching linebackers right now. Let that sink in.

    Kasowski ready or interested in being a position coach? 

  3. Maag's elbows were down and possibly a knee and a hip.  It looks like Maag is attempting to run towards the middle of the field (the huddle) rather than up the sideline.  Bison #1's body language says he was upset about Maag catching a ball, not that he was trying to make a tackle.

    Why would he leave midseason? To go play in the AHL? Pretty sure the Sens would be ok with him staying here lol.

    Frankly, he's still a great player, but his showing some warts this season. I definitely think he'll be a tossup at the end of the year, but what's to indicate even a hint of him leaving midseason?

    I think the college game might not be very good for him at this point. He gets called for a penalty every time he touches someone. The only thing he's learning is to play tentative and weak.

    Quick question on the playoff format. 

    What would happen if UND were to beat Weber and Mont St and Gardner Webb were to pull two upsets to meet in the quarterfinals?

    How does the FCS determine where that game would be played if both seeded teams were to get knocked out of the bracket? I know this is a highly improbable scenario, just curious what the process is in that scenario.

    I believe there's a bid for each round, all submitted already.  I know there's a minimum hosting requirement.

    Are these scholarship or non-scholarship guys? 

    Per their own tweets last year, it looks like Moe-Tucker was a PWO and Ledbetter just mentions being "offered."  Unclear if scholarship or PWO on that offer.

    I don't get it...why would the NCAA be out to get UND? UND would represent both the MVFC and the FCS  very well. They have excellent facilities, an excellent reputation, good average attendance and a competitive football team. It makes no sense that there would be a conspiracy against UND.

    On the other hand, if the door really is locked, kick it in.

    Good question.  Why does this sh*t keep happening?

    THIS! 

    I'd love to hear Truax try to explain this one.

    NCAA still has it in for UND, simple as that.

    Not really the ncaa brass that makes the decision here.  UND's "rep" in the room was the ndsu AD.

    So I 100% agree with what you just said.. if those things actually happened there is nothing we can do about it and I would be ok with the result.  

    But.. I guess I dont believe that it actually happened..

    • "The supposedly money hungry NCAA decided to ignore a reasonably substantially higher bid and give the home playoff game to Weber State because they should have been a seeded team.."

    Heading down that conspiracy theory route where everyone outside of grand forks hates UND football is a bridge too far for me.  The conspiracy theory last week was that we wouldnt make the playoffs becasue the NDSU AD and Fargo in general was going to do everything they could to keep us out of the playoffs.. obviously not true.  The simplest answer is usually the right one and the simplest answer is that our bid wasnt better than Weber State's.

    Seems like its time for a little transparency to clear this up.. apparently FOI requests can be filed.. Chaves or somebody else.. should be able to file a FOI request with both UND and Weber State see what the bids are and embarrass the NCAA if this conspiracy theory is true.  Seems like there would be a lot of schools/teams unhappy with the new precedent of.. well Weber state should have been seeded but wasnt so we promised them a home game regardless of their bid.

    Love and agree with everything @wheelsup and other are saying. What bothers me the most is the thought that UND is always either unlucky or for some reason those making the decisions are always against them for some reason. Good news for Chaves is he works for a university where mediocrity is rewarded. Can't wait to hear his excuse the next bid he loses. 

    Apparently things truly were rigged against us.  Sucks to not have a voice in the room.

    4. When determining host institutions for playoff games when both teams are unseeded, criteria shall apply as follows: (1) quality of facility, (2) revenue potential plus estimated net receipts, (3) attendance history and potential, (4) team’s performance (i.e., conference place finish, head-to-head results and number of Division I opponents), and (5) studentathlete well-being (e.g., travel and missed class time).

    Conf place finish: UND 3, Weber 3
    Head-to-head results (NAU): UND won by 3, Weber won by 2
    Number of Div 1 oppenents: UND 11, Weber 10 (Weber played D2 W Oregon)

    UND got absolutely hosed even if the NCAA is trying to say performance.  UND is tied or beat Weber in all specified performance examples.

    "This has always been the way we look at it," Truax said. "What's unique about this is there hasn't been from a committee perspective a disparity like this between performance of the two teams.

    Most years the MVC has 3-4 teams a cut above the rest this year just 2.  The next 6 just beat the !@#$ out each other.  No real dominate qb's in the conference like the past.

    So the bottom of the conference was too strong?
