Do you think that we’re just one big recruiting class away from closing the gap on the upper echelon of FCS teams? These fire Bubba or Rudy chants are getting old. I’m not sold on some of the staff, but I don’t think a change to our staff puts us over the top. You didn’t wear a Bison hockey T-shirt did you? I think our O- line, QB, and OC would struggle against either team. Next year, we should have more experience at O-line and QB, might be up to the challenge. Our corners and WRs, too, may struggle. I do think we are a few key players away from competing. A stud WR can do a lot for the O just as a shutdown corner can do for a D. I wore a gray Fargo Force shirt, as I have billeted a number of years for them. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Is ISU the better FCS program in the state of Idaho? simple question I would laugh if the Bengals beat the Vandals and enjoy the meltdown in Moscow, realizing that their playoff hopes would be pretty much done. 4 Quote

What’s funny is NDSU (when Bohl was HC) had losing seasons before finally striking it big in 2011. Point being a single big recruiting class can make the difference. Now, after years of winning, NDSU simply has better players than their opponents. Their coaches aren’t slouches though. UND has some deficiency at both coaching and player levels. Just like NDSU in 2011, though, a single talented recruiting class at UND could change the trajectory for years to come. 3 Quote

GoHawks Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Was talking to a NDSU fan the other day and he mentioned the Bizun graduate 26 players this year?? If that's true that's good news for the 2019 matchup against them. 1 Quote
UND-1 Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 I think Idaho State is better than Idaho. At least so far in 2018. This is their Super Bowl. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 8 minutes ago, SWSiouxMN said: They will have a stud at QB however (he'll be better than Stick) NDSU has had arguably the best stretch of success in a 7 year span at any level. Yes they have had great defenses. But, it is amazing the talent they have had a QB during that stretch. After this season, NDSU will have the number 1 and number 2 all time winning QB's in FCS history in Stick and Jensen. Throw a guy that was drafted #2 overall ion Wentz in the mix and that is a pretty impressive stretch at the QB position. Biggest question will be can the next guy continue that success next year. Big shoes to fil. Only discouraging part for other fanbases is those shoes continue to be filled. Quote

If that's true that's good news for the 2019 matchup against them. They do graduate quite a bit after this year, and we have a lot of guys coming back. SU reloads quickly though so they will still be very good. 2019 should be a good game. Quote

Each win adds some shine to UND's resume, perhaps even a "quality loss" if things fall right. 1 Quote

SiouxVolley Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Portland State’s stadium problems. https://portlandtribune.com/pt/12-sports/407500-304270-vikings-forced-to-become-nomads They prefer Providence Park downtown but that field is controlled now by the soccer Timbers and Thorns, The rent has almost doubled to $32k a game and often soccer games take priority. So they might be forced to make the Hillsboro HS 7k seat stadium a permanent home or drop the sport. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Some people just want to watch the world burn When it comes to Idaho Football, this applies to me Go Fighting Jared Allen's Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 time flies but who was the lb that ndac and uni fought over a few years back...maybe when bryce paup got him to defect from the ac to the panthers and if so is he playing a major role (today)? Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Uni over the bisons 14-0 7 min left 1st qtr Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 14-0 UNI leading NDSU early. If UNI wins this game they won't have to win again all year and will still make the playoffs. Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I am surprised that there are lots of empty seats at the uni game Quote

They won't even have to win the game. "Once lead NDSU by 14 points" is good enough in the committees eyes. Edit: SiouxFan100 beat me to it. Quote
Sioux94 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 So really the only question now is, does SU still win by more or less than 10. Quote
