Tressel has pretty nice list of candidates for HC at Youngstown, JMU offensive coordinator and some P5 assistants in the running.

We need to recruit and land more kids that get worthless spring offers. Then we will move up the list. USD #1 - really?
Probably USD's best recruiting class of their D1 era (on paper) we will see in 2-3 yrs.

Real offers yes I believe, they could have been pulled due to position filled or many other reasons, kid has a lot of talent and his brother is on roster already.

We shouldn’t ignore the process and the facts. The bids are the way by which the hosting institution is determined. It is not (supposed to be) random. What you’re implying is even more preposterous: UND outbid Nicholls yet still is traveling?
The Committee Chair listed all the things they take into consideration again this year, like years before that they use to determine host teams. I can't quote all of them but some were if they hosted before in playoffs, previous playoff experiences, game atmosphere, facility the team plays at, last thing mentioned was financial. No idea the weight of each but maybe not hosting had to do with number of seats empty during games and the look it gives on TV.

New Hampshire, Elon, and Stony need to help us out with wins. Nichols already helped us. We also need to help ourselves and make a statement. Can’t have another tight game against a bad team.
Before the game SE Louisiana 7-3 and Nichols 7-4 and outside of bubble, after game Nichols goes 8-4 and get AQ and SELA 7-4 w/ a #22 ranking in the coaches poll which is one of the "tools" committee uses for at large, just adds another team to bubble. I figured a Nichols loss is what was needed.

You guys are still attaching Rudy to the game tomorrow?? Honestly, what team goes under center for 15 seconds in the Fargo Dome and tries to make a bunch of adjustments at the line? (2015 Fighting Hawks is the only one that comes to mind)
We have called out Rudy that game and the next 3 years non stop. The last showing in the Fargo Dome was a complete embarrassment, no augments here.
I read it that based off last time stats, this game can only go better.

Bison sarcasm.......love it.
there are quiet rumblings inside the athletic dept. at SU of buy out if possible FBS game surfaces. will know more in couple weeks after SU Ath. Dir returns from national championship game. There is a informal luncheon with other AD's of the Big 12, which they are an affiliate member of in wrestling that could yield early 2019 meeting that could cause buyout of UND game. Nothing solid or in stone just rumblings.

Well this doesn't make me feel any better about Rudy and the future of this offense......
I know for a fact Rudy is a high character guy and a good position coach. Do question his creativity as a OC and HC. Jury is still out on his recruiting. The two Minot High kids are going to be really good D2 players, watched them play HS, but were not D1 recruits. Not sure if schollies were used to get them but if they walked on I guess great, but if schollies were used that year, they should have been used on higher end gets if at all possible or juco spot fillers that were proven.
-
Reading this thread is like deja vu of when Rudolph was at MSU Beavers. But in addition people were also concerned why kids that Minot should be getting or were getting were going to Dickinson, Jamestown, Mary? His offense was very predictable and scheming didn't match opponent, basically if his football team had the better football players, offense looked and worked OK, if players were equal or little less, adjustments weren't correctly made in the week before game or gametime. When he left believe it or not there were some sighs of relief. But if MSU would of known the problems they would have just hiring a coach period maybe they would not have wished him gone!

Being the defending Big Sky champs does not equate to mediocracy. Just maybe, it was an anomaly?`
OR does it make the year before an anomaly? Less injuries, less adjustments, less coaching up, less coaching leadership needed???

Montana and Weber defense can be put into the "Suspect" category with both teams only holding Sac St. down, but UND defense is not suspect with secondary being able to handle what NAU brings for passing and NAU offensive line will not control what UND brings in front 7 consistenly which will result in little ground gain and pressured passing. UND offense while not high flying by any means gets enough extra chances with punts and 2-3 turnovers that they run with it to a 31-3 win and share of BSC championship. Just saying.... but that is how it should play out with no mental mistakes on UND's part.
-
NAU is a one trick pony for the most part, and their pony is gone for the season so they are all out of tricks, also NAU doesn't play well on road, easy win for UND 31- 3 and share of BSC championship.

Will from now on refer to these players as Muss recruits so if/when they fail will have the proper label to them. Goodness what happens if Ratelle makes NFL roster,
Will Muss get credit or will we have to transfer label to Bubba!!-

Not starting out good for the speedster. What will happen if he's found innocent versus guilty, 3 games suspension for guilty and no games for innocent. Or would Bubba cut ties with Clive since he hasn't seen the field and Bubba wants to set an example of team rules and discipline??

Good take here. There is a perception among more casual football fans that NDSU is on a different level. There is a better chance than not that UND narrows that gap next fall. Schwiegert was smart to press the issue with Faison, to get it done whatever it took.
I agree with you, NDSU can't win anything higher than the FCS champioship, don't see how its possible to get any greater exposure than what they have gotten and UND can't get lower than last 5-6 yrs. The only direction possible is to get narrow and the exposer NDSU will give UND will help that with the upcoming game. Its a win win for UND and probably just a win for NDSU.

BSC might get 3 but not 4 if that scenerio played out, and would have to find some polls and playoff bracket from the 24 team field from last year but I dont think all the top 20 teams made the field??
-
Hypothetically speaking, if UND runs the table and finishes, 8-4, giving their win against EWU the most value, the Eagles win out except for the one loss, UND would also get the most value if Stony wins out, Mizzou St. Bears win out. They would still miss the playoffs without a doubt. Their bed has already would have been hypothetically been made, with the losses that can't be changed even in a hypothetical, no matter what the Bears do and the Griz and Bobcats will hurt either one or the other which hurts UND due to they already lost to both, But it still would make for fun season to follow and look toward next year towards.
-
Obviously, our performance against Robert Morris doesn't really instill a great deal of optimism regarding the outcome of this game against Missouri St. Having said that, it seems some people view the Bears as some sort of top echelon FCS program, when in fact they've had 4 consecutive losing seasons and only 3 winning seasons in the last 10. I don't think they'd even be considered a "middle-of-the-pack" MVFC team.
This is the type of game that I expect North Dakota to win, whether we are up or down.
UND coming off of 3 losing season in the last 4, cant consider this program even a "middle-of-the-pack" Big Sky team. This is the type of game both teams should expect to win, whether they are up or down, now with the MVFC being a stronger conference, give the edge to Missouri St.but UND's coach has experience with MSU's QB this could keep it low scoring, All in all should be a great game of two football teams trying to get a foothold on establishing their D1 programs. Good luck to UND but think it will end up 17-3 MSU.
-
Huh, some people are expecting a blowout? I'm thinking that we will probably lose by 7 or less and maybe with a couple of breaks pull off the win. No way should this be a huge loss for us and I'm going to be pissed if we lose by more than 10. SJSU isn't a real powerhouse and we had better be able to stick with them. If we should get run off the field then we need to regroup immediately or it's going to be a long, long season.
be pissed.

Of course I will support UND in the game. I expect UND to win the game because that is what I expect every week. Unlike a lot of fans though I view a National Championship as the crown jewel, while many fans view beating the Bison and Gophers as the ultimate accomplishment and are willing to take it in the shorts to accomplish that.
Think about it. NDSU will travel to Weber-freaking-State, but not to Grand Forks. And apparently many fans and the UND Brass are OK with that because as long as we are playing the Bison that is all that matters.
Sad but true, for many NDSU is the crown jewel, for NDSU its Championships. Just 2 different perspectives, nothing wrong with either one but each one takes a program in its own direction.
-
There's no question the game needed to be played. Now, it's being played.
Yes, it would've been favorable to have a home and home, but just purely playing the game and beating NDSU is the most important thing here.
Just purely playing the game with NDSU is the most important thing for the UND football program as a whole, this has the possibility of legitimizing the program in the eyes of casual fans around the state with a good showing, for UND it don't get bigger than this game, also if your a casual fan of UND football you don't need a ticket to see the game, you can actually watch this one on TV anywhere in NoDak!!
-
The big question is if the SL is so great why do they lose a member almost every year where the BSC loses one about every decade or so.
That statement can be made of vast majority of conferences, Big12, SEC, ACC, Southland, Big East, on and on, these days lots of realignments and with TV money from football and mens basketball more moves to come.
