Meanwhile, NDSU replaces injured starters with all-stars - as freshmen. recruiting, Recruiting, RECRUITING! http://www.inforum.com/sports/4343921-freshman-cox-introduced-himself-starting-lineup-against-youngstown I mean, it doesn't sound all that different than Cam Hunt, a RFr who has been playing pretty damn well at middle linebacker. Slated to be a back-up and he has two picks in his first two games since healing up enough to get on the field, even though he's still not 100%. There's a huge difference between plugging and playing a handful of guys, which still gives the other starters the ability to cover up some of the deficiencies. But when you have over half of your starting roster in street clothes and 3rd stringers who were supposed to be getting a handful of snaps a game vs. playing every single down, you lose the ability to cover up some of the drop off that every single roster would have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that Michigan State feels real bad about going 8-3 in their last 11 games over "flagship" Michigan in football and is the better of the two schools in terms of men's basketball. #ButWe'reTheFlagshipSchool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as things get going in Ann Arbor, EAst Lansing becomes and after thought. It was why Nick Saban left MSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a football recruit for next year's freshman class who would even know that Nick Saban used to coach at Michigan State. "As soon as things get going?" The Harbaugh mystique is already wearing off thanks to losses to Michigan State and THE Ohio State University. The "flagship" argument is irrelevant.

Take a good look a the people in power in ND. Neither UND or Grand Forks control there own destiny. Both places are not liked. I'm going to contradict the last two sentences of your post. The legislature gives us damb near twice the money or funding as su if you include the Med school and the 30 million from the student loan trust account. Being able to tap the student loan trust fund displays how the legislature is willing to go above and beyond for this system and that has always been and will continue to be. Because of this there will be growth, but not to 20000 students. There is a lot of love in Bismarck for UND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of love in Bismarck for UND The student loan trust fund was basically emptied this past session and has been used for campuses other than UND. UND only receives significantly more money than ndsu when you don't account for the direct appropriations to ndsu's research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux94 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 14 hours ago, MafiaMan said: If there was a magic fix-it, don't you think places like Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, and Indiana would have figured out how to make themselves football schools by now? NDSU didn't wind up in the position they are in now by accident. UND has been playing catch-up ever since the big "D1" announcement by Fargo U. I also recently asked a local high school recruit whom NDSU has been scoping out if he's considered the University of North Dakota at all. His response? "WHO?" Every other football program in the FCS other than JMU has been playing catch up for the past 6 years now too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, on one side of the coin, Michigan State will ALWAYS be second-fiddle to Michigan... ...but on the other side, North Dakota can flip the script on NDSU?

Yes. It happened in the 90's and was the case until NDSU went D1. RT dropped the ball on that, if UND goes D1 at the same time, everything is different right now.

UNDColorado Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Again, the silver lining this week is that I won the UND 360 pick em. So far racked up $75 in Pepper this season. Might just have to cater a tailgate next season! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtime fan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Have to feel for the players that are not only injured but the ones playing giving their all. It can't be easy to deal with. As much as we (fans) hate losing, imagine their frustration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the young guys who are playing and are frustrated, that may be the best news for this team and going forward. They took their poundings this year and hopefully get revenge next year and the year after and after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkster Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 How was the QB protection on Saturday? I'm hoping it's good enough that we don't get Zimmerman injured.

Unless the coaches decide not to start him again - While it started out as just having an injury plagued year, coaching weaknesses are now being exposed. How many coaches around the league could do a better job with the starters we have on offense than we do? Getting fed up with Bubba's stubbornness and poor judgement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This season will be over when the clock runs out on Saturday Nov 11th around 4:00 PM. Most teams in the country will have at least one more game left, and potential recruits coming to that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak78 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Question. Do we have enough healthy players to dress a 2 deep. I'm coming to the game just want to make sure we can field a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't read this article then. http://www.inforum.com/sports/4344415-und-quarterback-picture-remains-unclear Some quotes: "We're going to see how (Studsrud) comes along this week," Schweigert said. "We took a look at Brad and Andrew's performances and evaluated that. We'll give them both reps this week and make a decision later in the week." "We thought both got better as the game went on," Schweigert said. "They both have a different skill set. Bubba is losing me, if Studs can't go him even considering starting Heidelbaugh is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. Did he not watch the first half last week?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
