siouxfan512 Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 So Canadian players, and bad team mates aside .... What is the plan for Saturday? Will we see more of a TE coming into help the line block, or are we confident with the protection we have? Will we see a much heavier dose of Otis than we did in Fargo? We better! Does Maag finally get going more? How many catches does belquist get? He seems to catch everything at the sideline, would be nice to see him get something in space to see what he can do. Does Brock see the field, and if he does, how impactful can he be having not played a snap all season? How involved do they get Quincy? I feel like this has been an opportunity that they have not taken enough advantage of this year. 1 Quote

Our defense needs to step up big and shutdown their offense. Make them one dimensional in the first qtr. Heavy dose on running the ball. Quote

These new transfer rules are really going to hurt FCS teams as well as lower D1 teams in all other sports. If you excel in FCS football or D1 in a non-power 5 conference you will probably have a chance to go to a power five team or, at least a better program, as a transfer. It's going to be tough for UND, NDSU, etc for all sports. Lone exception would be UND hockey as they are top dog at any level of college and have already snatched up 4 studs from the transfer portal for next year. The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer and as a result, the level of play between the big dogs and mid level dogs will increasingly become a lot wider. Kids can be delusional though. Yes some of these guys will land in better situations, but in this case, I don't see that happening. Quote

NDSU could absolutely go FBS, but would it really put them in a better position? They sell out, they typically dominate, they win titles and they produce NFL players. Move into a low grad FBS conference, and you could potentially lose all of that. Now if you were to get a shot at a power 5, then yeah, how do you not take that. But I wouldn't necessarily jump the FCS ship to be a mid to low level MAC team either. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. 1 Quote

Look at the 3-4 guys the Bison have had quit for "better opportunities" this spring, zero have moved on to better spots (Cofield to Western Kentucky is a step down. Don't care that they are FBS) Another thing I love is how the Bison still claim Jabril Cox. BRO HE QUIT ON YOU! 1 Quote

More fairly, it's just the norm across College Football and it takes away from the game, which sucks!! It was much more amusing when the transfers were just happening down south in Fargo. Quote

It's like having a good solid girlfriend and leaving her for someone and saying, "Hey no hard feelings, but I'm leaving ya." Both are some of the most talented players to come through the programs, but at they end of the day they both said peace out to the Dakotas. If you promote it's like saying, "It's ok if you come for a year or two, ball out, and then leave." Unless it's for the league, I don't like anyone leaving for another school. 1 Quote

I can't fault a kid for grad transferring to a Power 5 school and become a starter! Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 i would say that most people have no problem with kyle leaving....but the season isn't over yet...that's a loser move. the kid is a total loser. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 I'm tired of chatter about a name I will no longer speak. How about we talk about an upcoming game. What's the book on MoSt? Are they still short their main QB due to concussion? Stats look like they are RB by committee. And it looks like you can run at them. 1 Quote

We had to buy all four. So now I have to figure out how to sell or share digital tickets. Should be easy, but so far is proving rather tricky to do. There is a sell button that comes up but is not active. If anyone knows anything about this, I'd love to learn how to sell tix you don't need so others can have the chance to go. Quote

The group I listed were late 80's - early 90's. We have had some good ones in the past, and hope that we have some good ones in the future as Canada has many players that can play! I do not like this transfer portal and especially do not like athletes quitting on their team during the season (yes I know it is spring, but still). I would assume that the scholarship is over immediately? Quote
