1st off, I got a chuckle out of "bubbaball69" and it's good to get a laugh once in a while from the threads. I agree about the limiting factor of Simon's downfield throwing ability.( and questionable deep threats at WR) With some personal background on the D side of college FB, if DBs and Safeties don't have to worry about getting beat deep it's a way easier ball game. It's almost like playing defense from the 15 yard line in no matter where the ball is.

Is JTJ a 4.7-4.8 type or more of a 4.4-4.5 type? I think that's a determining factor on getting a chance to start and/or a package of plays. I am not as uptight as many if we play 2 quarterbacks to start the season.

Fists were flying. Love it!!

Seems like we don't but maybe with 2 in the game, instead of trying to anchor the D-line with 1 nose, we'll be OK??

Unless you are as undersized as Jake Rastas. Quick history lesson, freshman All-American because the whole LB crew got hurt. Next 3 seasons a special teamer and back-up LB at 215 pounds. At 235 probably a 4 - year starter.

Minneapolis, Minn. / Armstrong UND Current Roster - DTs and DEs mixed together. Eckhert and Bell at 295 lbs haven't played a snap. Blegen at 295 has 4 tackles. The St. Thomas kid is listed at 290 and 6'2". The Sac St. guy is 6'3" and 285 lbs and has as many knee injuries in college as tackles. Maybe looking OK on paper but what's the level of JYD?

OK, that would make some sense. We don't have a DT over 300 lbs........potentially going to get pushed around.

Lance Rucker??

"Some bumps" is just fine, just can't play D like.......

Morty folded like a cheap tenant during a thunderstorm at We Fest when it came to being stripped of Fighting Sioux.......but is clever like a fox. I could back this. Bubba is getting up there in age but financially frugal. Either right now over Cesar Chaves.

There is a far greater return to the University with your athletic programs winning titles than $25,000/year of making it more difficult.

On the rent.......is this privately owned? A discount would be nice but it's a lot to ask individuals/partners to give up $19,200/year in revenue when the reality is they are likely operating near break-even given the high cost of construction the past 3-4 years.

This sucks!! I was told this directly, 1st hand. That could be a starting DL for the football team!! UND can do better!! If there is a legal issue that needs compensation, $1.00 lifetime use is perfect and they can hang that dollar in a frame on a wall.

1883 has operating costs so the more sports and contributions the better to spread those costs out. An individual can contribute to a general fund or sport specific up to 2 sports.(my understanding at the time) You also get some store credit for some 1883 Swag that is sharp!!

Keep this up and we're going to look like a Top FCS program running onto the field, lots of height besides RB which doesn't matter.

From Sac St. If this guy pans out our staff has a crystal ball. 2024 Season Played in the first game of the season at San Jose State before a knee injury ended his year. Did not record a tackle. 2023 Season Saw action in two games during the season, playing against Texas A&M-Commerce and Idaho State. Earned an assisted tackle against TAMUC. 2022 Season Redshirted during the season. Did not appear in a game.

another sign things are headed the right direction -

Drivable still from WA, makes sense. It would be tough to fly over Griz and Bobcats to land in GF, no lie.

$1.2 million I was told, going to guess Miami. Could be other offers.

How good are your sources on those amounts? I have some knowledge of NDSU paying $500,000 to keep their WR but I haven't verified that yet.

Where are the DII and lower players with 6 figure offers? The reality and most relevant to UND is the FCS landscape is a developmental league and programs in FBS have funds to compensate. If you like being gutted without compensation that's your opinion and we just differ. I'd rather get something in return when K-State gives a UND kid $150,000.

Not sure that's where the system is falling apart.........we certainly didn't pay any lower level players other than a scholarship if that.

1. The FCS needs to come together and demand compensation for finding and developing players. Players will still leave, but at least the FCS program(s) will receive some benefit, $$ for the transaction. 2. What will/is also happening is say Alabama wants a kid, but doesn't have a roster spot, an FCS and FBS program will essentially partner in placing a kid at FCS knowing that Alabama has a high interest the following year. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of close proximity options in this area to "partner" with but maybe the location of the 2 schools isn't that important. It would be advantageous for an FCS school to just embrace this right away and have FBS schools place some 1 year Blue Chippers on their roster(s). UND could be doing this right now.

5 DTs probably needs to be 7 with 5 at 300 lbs and higher. The defense reads like the roster in Major League, Who are these......? The D rebuild I'm afraid could be a 2 year process. Hope to finish middle of the road next season and then be in top 3 in League the following season. Also, could be looking for a RB in the portal unless some of the WRs can provide for a Slash type option to take a few carries. We have Z, Seidl (who missed games with injury), then 2 Freshman. It's thin at RB.
