As good as that kid is, do you really think he'll stick with NDSU?   By signing day an FBS school will snatch him up.   He already had an offer from NIU I believe.

A good chunk of NDSU commits have FBS offers. Unless a Power 5 school offers, I would guess he stays with NDSU.

If "a good chunk" of NDSU commits are G5 caliber players, then maybe it's time for NDSU to move to the Big 12 or the MAC?

For the record, I do not think either UND or NDSU have any business being in FBS.

if uni holds on i'm assuming they will rocket past jmu and ndac to be the new number 1 team in the fcs?

1 UNI win = 10 wins

1 UNI loss = 1/4 loss

the FCS measurement of polls.

There’s no punchline here, it will happen.

SDSU with a statement loss against UNI.

[Sioux94]

Who would have guess that SDSU would lose at home to UNI by more than we did to Montana, not me.  Our season has been a wreck, decimated with injuries.  SDSU....had title hopes this year....they are unraveling.  But they will end up playing NDSU tight this year, and once again everyone will talk about how good SDSU is.

Missouri State only down by four.....28-24 to Western Illinois, we beat them 34-0.  I guess our culture must have been a lot better 4 games ago, or is better than Western Illinois culture.

Rodgers going down set the slide in motion. Tack on the arrests and getting 40+ hung on us by everyone and problems start to appear. I hope this year stings to the bone for everyone in the program. It should be a wakeup call and will hopefully galvanize the team going forward.

Culture is something that is typically cultivated over time and doesn't generally change in a matter of weeks......typically.  The drug arrest turned out to be a good thing, because that kind of crap on the team is a divider so I'm glad it happened now and this year instead of next year when we are hopefully playing for something.  Team bounced back on the field nicely last week after those arrests which I think was a good sign.  I am with you though, I hope this rough season just brings them all together and makes us an even tougher team mentally next year, and a lot more hungry.

SDSU and Illinois State both getting beat badly by other MVFC teams, Western Illinois in a tight one against Missouri State.  They probably won't move down, the MVFC will probably just have 8 teams in the top 15 now instead.

What do you consider the championship "round?"

i don't think anyone is arguing that hockey is more popular than football.

Bison win in OT 27-24. 

[geaux_sioux]

Pelini iced the kicker and he missed his iced attempt. Then nailed the next one.

1st FG in OT missed by SU, but of course a time out by Youngstown and it didn't count.  Never fails!!

Niche sports my man.  

I'm guessing his "fake" comment refers to the perception of non-football/basketball sports at most schools take a backseat. But you already knew that. 

 

That is awesome that you knew that stat off the top of your head and remembered it just so you could use it on here.  Or did you look it up in the 14 minutes it took you to reply? Stop it already with the "my man" comments like we are your buds.

USD is a machine right now.  Them and jmu are the best two teams in the fcs.
