Arguably Phil's career obviously is enormous, but which moment, of Phil's career trumps the media story that a kid from ND being possibly a top 10 pick in the draft? Either way, my point was to say that the media hype around him right now is warranted. It isn't surprising that nobody else from yesterday's pro-day received much attention. He's possibly the best prospect, at the most important position, in the country's most celebrated sport, coming from relative obscurity. It's a huge story.

Popular Post athompson3 Posted March 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2016 I would say Darrin Erstad going #1 overall in the MLB draft is a bigger deal at this point. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Wentz becomes Ryan Leaf 2.0, this will be the worst story in ND history. How about let's see how he does in the NFL then do all the stories on him. I feel sorry for the other 2 Bison guys who are trying to get into the NFL, no media converge on them. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this doesn't fit into the "hate NDSU" narrative, but the NFL draft trumps the MLB draft in media coverage and national interest 100 fold. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is arguably the biggest story in the history of ND sports. This is a big story. And all of the players that had the opportunity to work out in front of all the NFL personnel yesterday(I heard some didn't make it due to weather and flight issues) can thank Carson as he could have held a pro day where he is working out since he had already been to the combine. Normally if 1 or 2 players at a school like NDSU have some NFL interest you would see maybe 5 or 6 teams show up and a few other guys get an opportunity to get their numbers and measurables on paper. I haven't seen Will's numbers from yesterday but I know he had some pretty solid numbers when he worked out at Minnesota's pro day. If you think Will should have had more publicity then maybe GF should have sent more media. This is Carson's showcase and he has been pretty gracious and handled it all pretty humbly. I wish the kid nothing but the best and can't believe the nitpicking over this. The people that matter got to see Will in person and that is a benefit to him. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably find a story about what Carson ate for dinner at this point because if he farts it ends up published somewhere. I was just trying to find out if Will participated and what how his numbers compared to the Minnesota pro day. That being said I would really like to see all the participants numbers out of interest. Why does everything, even a little joke turn into a pissing contest? I was trying to count brain cells on Bisonville, a while back, and a poster was talking about Wentz liking pizza. It was pathetic. No brain cells found of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you are able to do more than one. I don't know what else Will would have tested. He knocked his Minnesota day out of the park.

Popular Post geaux_sioux Posted March 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2016 Rodger Maris has the biggest athletic accomplishment of any North Dakota and it's literally impossible for anyone to top it.

choyt3 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Roger? I heard on WDAY that Wentz had the best pro day in their history. Their meaning NFL. This kid is really getting propped up. I hope he's surrounding himself with people that he can trust that will help to keep him grounded. He's certainly likeable and extremely talented, but it seems to be overdone. Remember that these pundits such as Kiper know so much about Wentz that they didn't know he missed 5(?) games this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They loved Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith and Heath Shuler coming into their drafts too. This is all hype and projections. With that said I want Wentz to succeed but this draft thing is anything but a science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're on the bubble you need to show the scouts you can do it anytime you want. Great day for NDSU football as a lot of NFL people said it was the best run Pro Day they have ever been at.

He broke Babe Ruth's record when baseball was king. End of discussion. I didn't say this was the biggest accomplishment in North Dakota sports history, I said it's the biggest moment as far as buzz and people talking about sports in the state. Maybe you'll see that as splitting hairs, but that is what I meant. I agree that he hasn't accomplished anything near Maris or Phil Jackson, that has yet to be seen and would be disrespectful to call what Carson has done the greatest accomplishment. That isn't what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've seen has been about Wentz performance or the green, red and blue seats in the dome. I do find it odd you need to come to this board to clarify how great it was. All 18 teams must have enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
