Popular Post fightingsioux4life Posted September 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2016 Just now, Oxbow6 said: This state doesn't even have the balls to close Mayville St which is situated right between the 2 universities you jokingly suggest combining into one. Oh, you are right, there isn't a snowball's chance in Hades of North Dakota closing all but one school. But if we wanted to have an FBS program in the state, that is the only way it would work. Of course, if we got one, Minnesota would want one too! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I wouldn't want to have a mediocre FBS program year after year like the Cowboys have. The Cowboys are mediocre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 When the ND State Legislature meets in January, there will be some very serious discussions regarding funding on higher education. ND's 2 largest economies are still not doing very well, and until prices go up for oil and farm commodities the state will not have the funds like they used to for higher education. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The budget will be compressed some but even if there is money galore in the state coffers none will be used for sports complexes or expansions.

Back in 1998, there was a measure on the ballot to take colleges and universities out of the State Constitution. People read that as making it easier to shut down campuses. It was voted down by a huge margin. Any Legislator who even proposes that will be committing political suicide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they do seem to be making progress under Craig Bohl. They hung with with Nebraska until the 4th quarter. But I think a North Dakota FBS team would have some of the same problems Wyoming has (geography, climate) that make it hard to get kids to commit to going to school and play football there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 There's been record crops from Texas to Nebraska. Large inventories of commodities. These commodity prices are in a three year low and lower this year than in the last two. Oil has it's large inventories and also at low prices. This could take a few years for ND to get financially healthy again. Some hard decisions will have to be made by the legislature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundy1124 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 From Iowa- is Iowa a good team or a 2-3 team in their last 5 games? In those 5- Beat a MAC team and Iowa St. Grinded but lost a snooze Fest to Michigan St., were man handled by Stanford, and controlled by SU. Iowa tried playing their style of football, which NDSU plays that same style way better than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common on, everyone knows that there is only one level on Tecmo Bowl. The game simply gets more difficult each week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Bowling Green would have been a tougher test. Maybe those voters in the AP Top 25 poll got confused and actually were voting of the UND Fighting Hawks instead of NDSU... 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are struggling in recruiting right now and are good enough to beat some P5 teams. If they did move up I could see them having more success than Wyoming but some of us remember the amount of Bison faithful before their championship runs. Iowa is a good team. Possibly not top 20 but they flat out choked against a good fundamental Bison team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you angry and insecure all the time?? (Yes-) It was said from an Iowa paper or insider form. They are questioning their own team after SU pushed them around. You should be proud of that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Just read the DeLuca has to have season ending surgery. Bison or not, that sucks for a kid like that. Hopefully he can heal up and still have a shot in the NFL. Not sure how high he was projected, but hopefully it doesn't hurt is stock too bad. Hate to see injuries ever end a kids season like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
