Just for curiosities sake I'd like to see NDSU take on a legitimate bowl game type team (top 15 at least) and see how well they can hang.

Damn. That's usually my bread and butter. My apologies/congratulations.

Did I just miss the sarcasm boat?

Was said round ever in the question?

Nice to see former 2012 UND offered OL Ben Lauer starting at left tackle for Minnesota. Chose to walk on there over UND.

Why does the band not play In Heaven There Is No Beer at football games?

There are probably some and they're usually fr that usually get cut like the wr and lb from last year. I also see a bigger problem in that we haven't had great senior leadership since Goska and Hendrickson. This senior class only has a couple leaders but they aren't of that caliber.

I didn't see the jackass dancing on the sidelines but either a fellow fr should have said something or an upperclassman should have laid into him. The coaches have to focus on the game and on the players who are playing they can't be worried about how the fr are acting. But if they do happen to see it I would expect them to end it quickly

What if the young man has undiagnosed ADHD or a learning disorder. I remember a story about former NFL great DT Pat Williams. He basically couldn't read in college which made him unable to get good grades or learn a playbook. He's a smart man so it wasn't intelligence that was holding him back. As it turns out he had some disorder that made it almost impossible to read off of white paper. They found out that he was able to read just fine off of red paper and he got good grades from then on. Sometimes issues with grades are more complex than just either they aren't smart or they don't care. We don't know why a guy has trouble in school so a blanket statement about someone's intelligence without the full story is just plain not fair to that person. Don't get me wrong, grades should be priority number one since most of these guys will need that education after football even if they are in the .1% that goes pro.

How narrow minded of you.

Dont even try is in reference to showing story lines. They skim the surface on some stuff but for the most part just recap the games.

Keeping grades up is more about effort than intelligence. Most people are smart enough to maintain at least a C average in college if they want to.

I'm talking about overall caliber of recruits as being outstanding in the last two classes. Just look at them compared to the three previous classes. It's not even close. Just look at the LB recruits we have that are tFR and rsFR. Tons of potential. Also Kuksa has shown some good ability in his limited role.

I'm pretty sure they have more man power but still. It does seem to be a little higher. I'm not sure why they can't manage once a week or even every other week. Maybe Jayson can't elaborate on that. What I don't like is that there are good story lines they could work on and they don't even try. That would get people to watch ala Hard Knocks.

Just look at the 2 most recent classes. The only position they haven't done an outstanding job on is CB with those two classes. Though maybe Konalowsi will be a player, he showed signs before he didn't keep his grades up.

C. The answer is mustache.

Doesn't that feel a little better at least.

We need to get you some Mydol or something. I get that you're pissed about the last two games as am I, but the season isn't over yet and the team deserves support.

Mays too right?

Two hours til opening drive. Something positive to focus on for a change.

Not talent wise. Babich's last class was the real deal.

Bump. Tonight.

Bartels will always get some first team reps. Not a lot but some. That's how Marcus Hendrickson was able to be successful last year. He had enough reps with the first team to have enough chemistry to succeed.

The exactly what Mussman said they were doing.

Guys need to be fresh for MSU. Days off are needed otherwise the bye week is useless. Goodman needs to get healthy and so does Rattelle among others.
