Not sure if this fits here… this name image likeness could be another reason someone transfers. Big article in the morning paper. A Gopher BB player is quoted “One day the basketball will quit bouncing and I’ve got some money in my bank account.” Gopher players signed 150 NIL contracts between 7/1 and 11/8 with football the most @ 47. And now “companies” are signing up students for $1000 saying they will find ways to promote them And they say the students are learning life and business skills. The U has a consultant to teach students about contracts etc. Too many changes for me…..

That is so true. Our son turned down some offers snd the evening before signing day he had 3 forms he could have signed. Actually, UND offered him the least amount of money. I asked his decision…. he said SDSU. Dad says I should go there for the full ride. I said turn those pieces of paper over and go to the school that will give you the best education for what you want to for the rest of your life. He looked at me and said then it is UND mom. so maybe yes some restrictions on how often or at what level but these kids may have realized they did not make the best choice…. Of course there are many other reasons…. Even Clemson (?) I think had 2 go in the transfer portal yesterday.

I believe if you have a football related injury the scholarship continues… if not then your scholarship is suspended!

No way…. No way

Actually with all the NCAA stuff, coaching changes, and the transfer portal…just “What Next?”

Yes, wish him luck and move on!

I really liked to watch Otis play…. This was probably a golden opportunity got him. Rules are rules and for everyone….fine line between supporting snd enabling someone. I hope he stays and gets his head on straight. Whatever happened, I wish him the best!!!

Morning paper reported two Gopher QBs in the transfer portal in 2 days… Annexstad ( 2 years of eligibility) and Clark (redshirt sophomore). The starting g QB decided to stay for a 6th year and these two said adios! actually…based on other colleges that transfer portal might be getting crowded! Lots of coaching changes too.

This is difficult because society has changed so much… even in the last few years. ”I want what I want and I want it now.” Seriously, when dealing with people renting costumes I want to ask,”Have you considered Amazon Prime?” I want to keep our education standards, Midwestern values, and the UND family mentality. I want experienced coaches funded appropriately by the school’s budget. I am not saying replace anyone but new hires. if we truly aspire to be in the top 10, I want a top 10 budget. I want the fundraising for these $10,000 to $25,000 projects to continue. I like Bubba’s working with the foundation to get the equipment upgrades, etc. I want to know the AD has the gonadal fortitude to support (and correct) coaches AND to be more visible ( did I just say that?). I want to see the community support that I know is there when I attend a home game. This has to be ramped up 100% IMHO and could start in 2022. That is enough. Basically, it is all about money like always!

Maybe a quality education and a community with sound values? I have said it before, if all 4 of our children had graduated from UND, I would be one happy Mama. Yes we need that Phase 2… could someone just print the money? It seems that is what is happening. There must be some relationship to COVID so we could get some funds.

We need BUZZ!

I agree and add the NCAA ruling on “selling” athletes….in many ways, I miss the good old ways!

I love that movie…. Yes lots of confusion surrounds transfers, IMHO

As I listened to the game, one thing kept popping up in the back of my mind.Do you think JuiceU is cheering for us to win to take the bunnies down a little? Then, I came to my senses and said, “No way!”Go UND and spring ball seems a long time from now.

Happy with 5(?) sacks….happy with the win…but I would still like a game with total dominance on both sides of the ball…this season! GO UND

So does “He who is first shall be last and He who is last shall be first” apply to our ranking too? thanks for the Scripture reference and I think the eye of a camel ???refers to a gate in Jerusalem…not sure! FACT ChECK: The camel was the largest animal in Palestine. The vivid contrast between the largest animal and smallest opening represents what is impossible for humans…

A little ove 5 min left…JuiceU 14 and SDSU 27 and they have the ball!!! SiouxFan100 is having a VERY good day!

And a couple of total quality QB sacks!

Well the second half should wake people up!

AMEN!

Future of UND football? Let’s concentrate on being the best program we can be right where we are. whatever improvements or changes there needs to be, let’s do it.

I agree but on to Youngstown State…11/6….noon Go Sioux

Quote from Tom Landry: “A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see, so you can be who you always k own you could be.” Go Sioux!

To err is human, to forgive divine. This is way to public IMHO

There has just been some bad juju out there. The players know; the coaches know. But very hard to turn around…is there a strong upperclassman pumping players up? Can’t be 100% coaches but some bad juju somewhere. In Vermillion, I was at the 50 yard line, row 12, right behind the UND bench. I did not see any of that let’s go, slapping each other on the back, and no high 5’s. So not 100% coaches fault. iI hope this changes but I do not have a suggestion on how to do it! GO SIOUX!
