When we have a line consisting of Stockwell Miller Bell Steiner Cox Taylor and Francis in a couple years we will have one big athletic and mean line.

I don't think Hinojosa will be getting pushed around. This shows that Bubba doesn't care one bit what anyone did last year. He's a man of his word, players will respect that.

My thoughts exactly..... I'm also surprised to see Hensen starting at RG, good for him though.

Where is the depth chart? Also James is gonna kill people this year. He's busted his ass and can HIT.

Hire Fak!

Was Lina there too?

There is a good alumni base in the Cali area. Who knows how many will show up though with how last year went. Maybe Bubba will draw more of them.

Btw this is great for all programs, especially football. An Adidas deal will same a ton of money from the budget which can be put into other things.

Yes we do. I've noticed that some players have Adidas shoes and most have Nike. Also every player picture features an Adidas shirt. They wouldn't do this if they didn't know something was imminent. I'd assume next year all teams will be all Adidas.

I supported him as hard as I could but in the end he proved not to be a HC. Some just aren't. He gets a lot of blame, deservedly so, but as was touched on earlier the admin is to blame for his hire and, more importantly, the pathetic budget.

In 2011 he did a very good job. In 2012 he did an ok job. If he had coached every year like he did in 2011 he'd still be the coach. He wasn't a consistent leader though, that was his problem from day 1. At the beginning and end of his tenure the players ran the show. For two years he ran the show. He also wasn't great at projecting leadership to the media.

Subtract 10 points from that for having Fales at QB

This is good for us.

Which players?

Don't forget about downtown. There's currently a nice little nucleus but there is so much potential down there it's not even funny. There are plenty of areas that could use a facelift.

Sometimes the lack of vision in GF is infuriating to me.

Was anyone able to make it to yesterday's practice?

Hey NDSU1980

I didn't say FBS or a stadium were in the works. I said they're about to only thing NDSU could do to go up in any way.

Not even one you just answered? Just accept it, we hit our rock bottom last year and will be "trending up". The chances of the bison to trend up are slim since they're about as up as they can be. The only thing they can to do give more leg room in that respect is build a new stadium or go FBS and become the next Boise.

Recently?

Do they have a tradition of winning? National title? Nearly 30 conference titles?

Sure as !@#$ it does. You think we can trend down from last year?

I don't have a total blind hate for NDSU. I respect the product they've put on the field lately and how they've cleaned up the off the field stuff the past couple years. I never cheer for them though, no matter what.

You're not very sharp today are you? What do you think is easier to improve on? A three win season or an undefeated fifteen win national title season? Kmon man.
