NDSU got fat and happy. Made some bad choices in bringing in the wrong players and UND rebuilt with lessor talent but harder workers. Maybe other teams benefitted from the trickle down talent but UND just plain got better and it would have happened regardless of reduction or not. The proof is how great we were in the 70s. We can go head to head with NDSU, just not in the 80s or in the recent FCS history due to very low troughs in our programs history. Other than those two times UND has been pretty even with NDSU in everything other than national titles.

Now they're saying Chip Kelly and A&Ms Sumlin are candidates too. Better cut a fat check.

If London Fletcher could do it there's no reason Will can't.

No idea. I'd assume FB but still think he's an LB diamond in the rough.

Whirly ball please

Great pace in this game so far. Both teams are flying.

With a name like that he was never going to end up at UND

The stats above go back to 2007. 3 attempts over 50 yards in 3 years tells me all I need to know about what Taubenheim can do.

He missed an easy one against Richmond. 42 yards.

It indicates how bad the other kicker in the conference were apparently. Taubenheim had the worst season for a UND kicker I've seen in a long time

Reading all of that made my blood boil a bit. Academia at its finest.

Altru will help you pay for school if you sign a five year contract. Sound familiar?

That's why they always say a player should commit to a university, not a coach. I was making the comparison of coaches and executives. It's pretty similar.

How is it different than moving up the ladder in any other field?

Coaches get fired when they don't perform. Harsh reality.

The other question with Clive is, if given the extra year, can he actually come back and be himself? He suffered a terrible injury.

Not sure what your getting at. The school commits to the kid with hundreds of hours of coaching and life lessons and thousands of dollars towards education room and board and full cost of attendence. If the kid ends up being a bust then they move down the depth chart and usually aren't given a spot for fall camp. It's the harsh reality of college athletics.

Everybody fights for their spot on the team each year. Not one spot on the roster is written in stone.

Fight for their jobs. Competition is good for everyone.

Put all three on the field. Full house backfield with tons of motion in all directions. Could be a nightmare for defenses. For the love of God we need to start screen passes next season. The way teams were playing us we could have killed with a screen pass here and there.

Put all three on the field. Full house backfield with tons of motion in all directions. Could be a nightmare for defenses.

We have to be. Especially if Santiago remains at RB. Night and day difference this year from last with the holes he had to work with.

Too many overage Canadians
