Money. The amount of Fighting Sioux Merchandise they would sell would be unreal.

I guess I forgot about that. Anyway that was 9 years ago. I don't think he is the same coach now, that he was than. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong as i'd love for USA to 3 peat.

No one is saying to change back to Fighting Sioux, but they can and should sell more merchandise.

I love these posts because they are so hypothetical but posted with such certainty. Everyone forgets some of the dumb play calling that Danny had. Double Reverse anyone. Some of the dumb trick plays at the worst times. We lost some bad games with Danny as the OC, no guarantee we would have won anymore games just because he was the OC.

Scare Tactic. If the Gophers don't want to play us anymore, I don't really care. Most overrated weekend of the year. The Ralph is packed for every home game, we don't need them to sell tickets. Plenty of other team we can schedule. Beside we are not keeping the Fighting Sioux name, so it is irrelevant. We are selling Vintage merchandise.

The amount they can sell if very subjective. What is enough to keep the trademark? I'd challenge the NCAA to do something about it. They have been losing everything lately. How can they dictate how much a university can sell? Problem is no one at the university is willing to stand up and do something about it.

I have nothing to deal with. I literally don't care who wins. Last year was the perfect outcome with GFC and EGF winning state and RR finishing 2nd in ND.

Sometimes the computers get it wrong. We are not the 6th best team in the Country.

Oh come on. The game against RR was a home game for RR and EGF won by 3. The first game vs Central was a close game, but EGF come out on Top, not because of the refs, but because EGF was the better team that day. Yesterday was a different story, and I think Central is hitting their stride, and has become the team most people thought they would be. I don't have a dog in the fight as I graduated from EGF, but have kids in the GF school system. I enjoy the success of all greater GF teams.

Not a good look when EGF's only 2 wins are vs GF teams.

I think this is the perfect way. I don't think the majority of people want to contribute to NIL if they are not getting something back. Sioux name is not going anywhere and the university has failed to capitalize on it. They have the Legacy collection and don't hardly have anything in it. A lot of people will not buy fighting hawk merchandise no matter what.

Didn't know you could apply for a trademark for something that is already trademarked. Does seem like a good opportunity to generate a bunch of NIL money. With all the L's the NCAA has been taking lately I don't think they would be a problem.

A lot of pressure on Motzko. US is back to back gold medel champs and playing in front of MN crowd. I have low expectations from a Matzko lead team. Sad to say but Carle is the best coach in the country for this age group.

The fact the portal has not opened yet, and he has not actually entered the portal I would hope they would take him back on the team. Once they enter the portal I'm ok with saying they are done and not allowed back. Don't want to set a expectation that if you leave and don't find something better we have a spot still waiting for you.

This is the case for some, but not all. The sheer number is concerning. I guess we will need to wait and see what is brought in and where these guys land and how they do there.

Probably a good point. 4th place would mean AZ, NY Giants and Tenn. 3rd would be SF, Wash and INDY. You never know what teams will make a big jump from year to year, but willing to bet AZ and Tenn will still be trash next your. Washington might be much better next year if Daniels can stay healthy all year.

Coaching staff should have a list of about 5-10 former players to be called whenever a current players is contemplating leaving early. Give the list to the the player and just tell him. If you leave good luck, but before you make your final decision give a call to a few of these guys and see what they have to say. They will never have it as good as they do right now in college, especially at UND.

Look a 3 win team to 5 wins, than 7 wins, than 9 wins. At a time win Fcs football had better teams than now with less resources. So yeah

First round bye>1st round road win. I like what Schmitt has done before, but let’s not act like Bubba didn’t get us to this point before. We need a coach that can get us past this point. I think Schmitt can

FYI. Bubba made it just as far in 2016 and further in spring 2021.

I agree with this, but how many athletes are enrolled in the spring semester after hitting the portal? Seems most are looking to get to the new school and get enrolled for spring ball.

I don't think you would get an honest response. Your best bet might be meetings with team Captains to see what is going on, what is working and not working to find out why players are leaving. Its odd because the few players I've talked to love playing for Schmitt. I spoke with one guy early before the season started and they had just had a conditioning session earlier in the day. He told me they were working very hard and he loved it. I'll be interested to see where some of the guys end up. If P4, than I will understand. Anywhere else it is a bad sign.

Who are we rooting for to win the National Championship. It looks to me like a bunch of teams I'd like to see lose. I thought I wanted Tarleton, but there arrogance this last week has really rubbed me the wrong way. Hate the MT schools. Tough to root for SD as that would leave us with only Dakota Team without a NC and would not be good for Recruiting. I think I'm rooting for Villanova or UC Davis.

It also help the program they are leaving. Schmitt and the staff have a better understanding on what positions they need to fill and scholarships that will be open

The only reason it's not is because the NCAA like it that way it is. It was discussed for weeks about who should be in the Playoffs now its discussed who got screwed over and who should not be in the playoffs. The NFL is simple. You are in or out. Look at your record, the first game means as much as the last game. The only 2 teams that deserve a shot at the Championship this year are Georgia and Indiana. If you don't make it to to you conference championship game, why should you have a chance at a national championship? If you lost the Conference championship you are not as good as the team that beat you. Why should you get another chance. The Big 10 and SEC Championship was basically meaningless, why even play it. How long until teams rest their best players to avoid injury before National tournament. If the top 2 seed make it to the championship, why should Indiana have to prove again that they are Ohio st. If you are not the best in your conference, how can you be the best in the country.
