Good god that is horrible luck.

Montana St can't replace ndsu. They won't replace them either. They could be an equalivalent to USD after some good games but that's about it.

He'd be as petty and gutless as a lot of people around here like to think he is if he didn't. I think he'd take that to the bank and use it as a chance to show NDSUs current supremacy Americas favorite sport over his most hated of rivals.

They honestly should. Once the fans get the taste of blood again they'll demand it regardless of how the game ends up.

Good point

I was expecting more UND stuff actually.

UND will win. That's my balance the chi prediction with all of you nancies predicting Y2K.

Time for us to serve up our own cold dish of revenge. And for desert? A fake extra point.

So is he the inverse of Ben Blood as his name would suggest?

Clowney Bridgewater or Hardin.

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.
