Big Green

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.

Big Ten and SEC just need to get together and do their own thing. Big Ten Champ vs SEC champ. Set it up like just like the NFL. Set the teams up into divisions and schedule games just like the NFL does.

By not being in a Conference they was always relying on the Committee to give them an at large bid. Probably right about the reason Miami got in. Nothing was final until Sunday. The Committee can change there mind up until that time.

UND has never been and will never be a D1 Basketball School. People only have enough time and money and it is allocated to Hockey. I'm at the point that we need to do the very minimum for Basketball as it doesn't matter at UND. It only worked at the D2 level because only 6K could go to hockey, your don't have to paid and Arm and Leg to get Hockey season tickets, Road games were not on TV and most of the D2 Opponents were within travel distance with games on Friday and Saturday night.

Nothing in wrong with the way it is now. Notre Dame needs to stop thinking they are something special. They need to either join a conference like every other team or deal with the fact you might be left out. They did it to themselves. The G5 Schools have a chance to make the Tourney now as the top 5 conference winners get in. Just need to be the top G5 School. There are 7 At large bids. If you are not one of those you are not good enough or deserving enough to be in the tourney. Only thing I might do in bring back the old BCS ranking to be used everyone know where they stand. But what make College Football so popular is also what makes it suck. When teams are left out everyone is talking about College football and why there team should be in. Controversy drives ratings.

It makes sense. Td, xp, and FG. Wins game. If you don’t make it can still tie with TD, 2 pt and FG. analytics say right call.

Yes

I think it happens sometimes at power 4 schools. I remember a couple years ago, I think it was BYU that a donor stepped in and provided enough NIL to all PWO to cover tuition.

If we beat the SD schools are they still playing? If we lose to S. Illinois are they still playing?

I would agree with this. The first time I walked into the Betty I was expecting something similar to the Ralph. Boy was I disappointed. When the Hyslop was rocking there was nothing like it in GF and that includes Hockey. However I didn't even know we had a volleyball team Until Hardee showed up and, I have been in GF my whole life (Since mid 70's).

If its me and both are health I start with Simon, but with a short leash. After 1 Qtr if the offense is not moving the ball in comes Jerry.

There have been 5 times this year that Jerry has had double digit rushing attempts. They have lost all 5 times. Seems like he is keeping the ball more, need to let the running backs handle the running. Should help with Gavin back and Chuck not needing to worry about the 4 game limit to keep his red shirt.

What does bitching on SS.com accomplish? Maybe they will fix it or maybe they will respond with a reason why it can't be fixed. Maybe they tell you to F off and they don't care. At least you will have an answer.

Well it obviously bothers you. Either they don't know or they don't care. E-mail them and you will find out.

So the Answer is no. You would rather just Bitch about stuff than see changes.
