So maybe three levels of D1 football?  At some point we just drop the NCAA as a whole right?

One has to start asking that question.

I agree.  Exit the NCAA.  It's cancer promotes Men saying they are women in title IX sports.  Women dressing rooms.  P5 run it for money escape a new league.

Deng Deng, jumped 6'7" in high jump.  Four winds basketball player who signed to play football at UND.  Deng Deng ,first year track four winds coop with NR Sheyenne.  His coach Elliot Belquist.  Elliot a Bison FB player has done more for UND than NDSU.  Bo and now Deng.  Be grateful UND thank him over and over.

Any guesses what the starting OL will look like?

[forksandspoons]

Gotta think UND will have one of the better RB rooms in the country this season. It is up to the OL to step up, though. After Belquist, need Tai, Dennis, Klein and Vaughn/Norby to make big leaps.

As we know they are only as good as the OL in front of them. Injuries always an issue for us also - perhaps the new strength and conditioning coach will help.

Any depth chart predictions? Anyone we think could breakout this year? Who’s going to win the QB battle?

[shep]

Hoping both QBs are great but one pulls away early so there’s no lingering question who is #1 as we get to the first game.

we have 3 very large OLs coming in. Hoping they are making an impact this year,

Also hope someone smarter than me makes a projected depth chart

Iowa St released time and tv info.

FS1

2 DE and 1 DT transfer are already on campus. Definitely much needed to get these guys there early. Hope they can pick things up fast and the DL room as a whole has a great summer in the weight room.

Don't think the 1 or more OL transfers have been officially announced yet, or did I miss it while on vacation last week?

It was noted last week. We now have 3 new OL monster trucks who I hope can open up lots of holes and protect the QB

I am trying to get excited for this upcoming season.  But it is just so hard to do.

Home of Economy sold to Runnings.   I'm guessing there goes a major broadcast sponsor.   Does Runnings run radio ads?

Where was it announced officially.  Other than a tweet from a coach?

[shep]

I don't recall. I think it was posted on this site, but if it was a tweet from a coach wouldn't that be good enough?

Think s lot of us have felt this way ever since the announcement Danny was going to SDSu. Landry doing what he did, Bubba getting an extension, losing 3 starting OL......just lots of turmoil in general makes it hard. 

The transfers on on both OL and DL provide some hope....but just don't know how they will pan out. OC may very well likely be a wash or who knows....could be a step forward.... especially if Trey or Jerry are the real deal. 

I think until we see what happens on August 31st.....many are trying to mentally prepare for the worst, but I think there is a chance we could still be pretty decent. Hard to get too excited right now, but I'm sure I will be come August 31st.

For all the reasons you've stated, I'm feeling a mix of hope with fear.  Lots of "what if's" right now. 

Yet, I can't wait for that first home game tailgating.

I’ve gone through the gauntlet of emotions this offseason but right now I’m optimistic. Can’t wait for the first home game and can’t wait for Iowa State.

Is it an upgrade to replace FCS guys moving up to FBS with FBS guys moving down to FCS?

The player > the label ... that's what it comes down to. We will see.

You could be right.

The answer is obvious, this is a downgrade.  Labels going into college(FBS/FCS) don't matter but with a few years development/game action the portal is placing guys at the right level.   UND O-line is going to suck.
