Washington has a 5* QB who's was a top 15 player in national rankings that is the same age as Payton. I don't think it was competition he was afraid of. But go with that theory I guess?

I wasn't saying he was afraid of any competition. He obviously liked U of Wash more than NDSU. I have no problem with that. I was just saying NDSU aren't crying in their beer because he chose U of W.  The cupboard isn't bare in the QB room at NDSU.

Well, adding USC and UCLA to the Big 10 is interesting…. Paper speculated the SEC snd Big 10 are moving towards semi-pro…..their media contract ends in 2023 ($2.6B, yes B, over 6 years).  Adding USC and UCLA would “enhance the Big 10’s appeal for TV ratings. Estimates are that each school could receive $100 M annually.”

I miss outdoor football… the Memorial  Stadium and others.

The only football leagues with staying power have been College FB, NFL, and Lingerie football.  A Semi-Pro division might have some relevance because it's feeding the NFL but prior to the NLI and transfer portal crap College FB has been all about tradition.   UND back to the Valley gave us what back?....tradition, which is a solid foundation.  Football is on a slippery slope with it's divisions but hopefully the "Pandemic" and Wokeism crap is behind us.

I agree and I like tradition….

It was bad. One of those games (which was basically all of them) where Rudolph was completely overmatched as offensive coordinator. Also one of those games where Bubba was punting on 4th and short in Washington territory …

it was an awful no-balls performance 

I’ll give Eric Schmidt credit, defense played well in the first half. Got worn out in 2nd half. Ironically Schmidt now coaching at Washington …

One of the worst 4th down decisions ever - not THE worst though.  Clearly Bubba has learned nothing since then.

Does the MVFC have some type of conference meeting thing with representatives from each team in July similar to what the Big Sky had?  If I recall Big Sky had something and Bubba and at least one or two players would go to represent the school.

There will be a Missouri Valley Football Conference media day. It was on July 27, 2021 last year. I haven’t heard what the date is for this year.

Media day is scheduled for 8/1-8/2 for the Missouri Valley Football Conference and will be all virtual.

Why virtual?  Absolutely zero reason for this.  It's 2022.

Any fall camp schedule yet?

Listening to Tom Miller, guest on Nebraska radio ...

• Nebraska guys call UND "Nebraska of FCS" last season with all the close, find-way-to-lose games
• Miller not sure personnel issues all addressed, specifically FG kicking (35 yd FGs problem)
• MVFC is tough and opportunity: A single loss is not devastating to season like BSC; top half MVFC always get post-season looks
• Prediction: NDSU, SDSU, then cluster of five: MoiSt, UNI, SIU, USD, UND; then field 
• Challenge of playing FBS: unique experience, within fan driving distance is new, Utah/Wash games were good experience, 
• What should Nebraska worry about? Creative offense, "trickeration", Utah State game had 3 QB with TD pass, not ground-pound yet, new RB,
• UND plays pressure 3-4 D, exposes DBs; want to get after QB
• Stands out now? Maag, couple tackles may be all-conf

Nebraska radio guy says UND's more important game is seven days later at UNI. Called UND easiest game on NU's schedule (duh, FCS game). Did acknowledge the travel NU will be doing before (Ireland game v NW'n). He sounded scared of a slow start "Utah State" scenario (go down 14) should it happen.

I've never been more interested in the 2-Deep release as I am this year. The more transfers (Anderson, Bryant, Oliphant, Hembry, Wilson, Buckner, Cooper, Ogbu) that find themselves on it the better in most cases. Here's what I'm hoping for. Transfers on the Depth Chart.

• O-Line: 2 Starters / 1 Backup
• WR: 1 Backup
• DL: 0 (This is the biggest "most cases" example. Hoping Ogbu is more in that 3rd D-End spot, so just off the depth chart)
• CB: 1 Backup
• Safety: 1 Starter
• OLB: 1 Backup

It will definitely be one of the more interesting fall camps in a while.  With so many transfers expected to have an immediate impact, hopefully many of them are the real deal and end up cracking the starting lineup and/or 2 deep.  QB may also be a little more interesting but not sure.  With both Feeney and Quincy being in the program a little longer, will they actually give Schuster a run for the starting job?   I'd say most likely it will still be Tommy.  With hopefully having some more depth at QB they will advise Tommy to run a little more.  

I'm back from my 4 week stint back in ND.....and am ready for some football soon!!

I'm not much of an edge rusher but will bring the Sack City sign to all home games.

Bring double digits.  Lets get things rolling.

I want to hear “Tackled by the entire Sioux defense” again.  Only 39 days until kick-off!

Link to the FCS fans Nation podcast ranking all teams.  Go to the 45 minute mark, they have UND ranked #37 and the only thing they say about us is to joke about us being the best DII team.  We really need to beat Northern Iowa and some of these others this year, sick of not even being thought of as a Top 25 team.  We need to start a run of good seasons to get some respect.
