Montana State is the real deal. Hope they beat NDSU in Frisco when/if they meet …

NDSU won't make it to Frisco.  Jacks redeem themselves next weekend and roll the Bison in Fargo.

It’s Montana State’s year

There really are just 3-4 teams that contend for the national fcs title 

Which is why it is has been inexcusable that UND has not been in the conversation. That’s all about to change. Thank God for Coach Schmidt and admin’s revamped commitment to the football program. More work to do though ………

I hope so. I think you might be right. SDSU looked good.

Nashville ‘27 I’m calling it now. The Frisco era is over.  It’s done.  It’s UND’s time now

ESPN announced attendance of 8,671 for SDSU win over incarnate word - looked like less

Was listening to the NDSU game on the radio, and I may be a bit harsh, but, their play by play guy is absolutely brutal to listen to..sounds like a Simpsons character when he gets excited...had to turn it off

Jack Michaels is a treasure, UND football is fortunate to have him.

Then you got Phil arguing calls and asking for calls every fourth snap

Jason Eck will be the new head coach at New Mexico.

NDSU looks like they aren't interested this post season.

[Wilbur]

10,000 people at the Dome (Per Dom).  Of all people....NDSU fans have lost interest in FCS football?

[Wilbur]

And South Dakota heads to Bozeman with a 35-21 win over Davis.  Figured they couldn't stop South Dakota.  

 

[siouxweet]

Jacks win by at least 2 TDs next week.

[SiouxFan100]

All South Dakota championship?

Exactly.  Just like MLB.  Pick your winner every year out of 3 teams. 

Your pick in 2023 was the Rangers?  

[ND-fan]

Could be all Missouri Valley football final  if South Dakota upsets Montana State putting championship game rematch of either Jacks win over South Dakota in overtime or South Dakota win on final regular season with ending of big pass to beat the Bison. South Dakota will be by far toughest opponent Montana  State will face since facing Cal Davis out in California. Montana state playing South Dakota will be toughest opponent they will have played this year and they are lucky to be playing them at home. The other conferences in FCS level is closer to the bottom of Valley and Big Sky conferences. If Valley and Big Sky merged with top teams out both conferences they would have makings of FBS conference and these schools have resources to play at that level with exception of TV contract to help fund these schools.

How many road wins have there been this year in the FCS playoffs?

[SiouxFan100]

I do prefer that sdsu wins on the road at ndsu and South Dakota does beat msu on the road next week

I think 3 in first round. 
Lehigh, UT Martin and Illinois St.  ISU was on road cuz field not available.

As one watches these FCS playoff games it truly tells the state of this FB program. Most of these playoff teams are absolute trash.....and yet UND didn't even make the field.  

I've heard Schmidt say in multiple interviews the #1 issue to start with is recruiting. Got to get some dudes at the WR and QB positions as well as across the board on D. Not going anywhere next season with what's coming back.

Yes. Actually embarrassing for UND. Hawks really blew it this year. Recruiting is very important but the talent that went through the past few years points to a bigger problem that is likely taken care of now. Check out how Kilty and McNaboe and their teams did this year.
