These kids are clearly the victims in all of this.

There were reports from SDSU the prior week of the same thing from their own fan base   

Trend in the MVFC?

Before we all get up on our high horses here, keep in mind I've been at many parties with UND athletes...kids will be kids.

It's a little friendly banter.  I agree the they make mistakes.  Unfortunate that it's prior to the semifinals and both teams won't be at full strength if it's true.

James Madison looks like a real contender...I am looking forward to seeing how they handle the dome this Saturday. Of any team I think they have the best shot at taking them down, although still an uphill battle.

Bump...

JM will be remembered in this RR Valley! Thank You!

I thought Pelini preferred to discipline his players by punching them on the sideline?

Their top 3 WR.  

They will return QB, entire oline and a good chunk of D.  They will be solid next year but losing those 3 WR will hurt a lot

[shep]

Watching the game and I heard the announcer say the WHOLE OL is Freshmen (3) and Sophs (2). Gonna be tough.

I agree. Defense wins championships and Eastern Washington, along with most other Big Sky teams, consider defense an afterthought. Big Sky is no where to be found in the FCS championship game, again, due to it. UND is going the right direction by emphasizing defense and a ball-control running game. 

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

So what is with Big Sky, most talent on offense: 

Is that the way high schools do it in the west, put best talent on offense?

Do Big Sky college coaches move talented playes to offense?

Why not move some offensive athletic players to defense?

Get over it and move on. Rudolph will (and better) learn from the playoff game, too.

For me that Eagles loss and having the Bizon pretty much get beat across the board; gets me real excited about next season. We could possible beat both teams. Realize we play E Eash our last game and only chance at Bizon would be in playoffs!!!!!!

No doubt about it.
