The Playoff Matchup

[thebigund]

Lets assume that NDSU is a #1 seed this year for the playoffs and has 0 or 1 loss. Then lets also assume that UND does better than expected and gets into the playoffs and with the wise bracket makers gets put into the same part as NDSU setting up a second round matchup in the FargoDome (UND probably wouldn't be able to host anyway) Predicting a score has too many variables and neither side is capable of making a true prediction without bias. So why not a position breakdown and comparison?

QB
Jensen proved he has toughness leadership and throwing ability last year even with Vigen holding him back a bit. Also better depth 3 deep at least with Wentz and Thorton.

Hansen looked good in spring but hasn't taken a real snap yet. Bradley is alot like Mohler if Mohler had a broken leg. Hendrickson is a freak athlete with a cannon for an arm and wheels to match but hasn't proven any consistency in games.
EDGE: NDSU

RB
Ojuri was legit last year and should see more of the rock this time, needs to be better in pass protection. Matt Jones also looked very dynamic in spring action.

Miller is undersized but runs a 4.4, has amazing vision, and doesn't take big hits. Sutton lacks speed but runs hard and is a great blocker. Garmen is super quick and got bigger over the winter.
EDGE:WASH

WR
Wahlo has the physical tools to play on Sundays no problem if it clicks this year he could be a nightmare. If Vraa stays healthy he should provide valuable depth. Smith has alot of Welker in him. Gebhart should provide depth and perhaps Okland will utilize his ability and make an impact early in his career.

Hardin was couldn't be covered in the spring game by a suspect DB group and looks better than ever. McGill gets open but has no YAC. Ivery is quick as a cat with great hands but needs to get a little bigger, finished very strong. Townsend is huge 6'3" 226 and has amazing hands and should be getting faster with his ankle getting close to 100%. Jackson is HUGE 6'3" 240, getting faster and running better routs, no DB wants to tackle him. He is a potential match up nightmare being bigger than alot of LBs.
EDGE: UND

O-Line
Billy Turner is a stud. Grimmestad will be very solid. Hinz could be legit. Big holes to fill from graduation.

Huge LT in Denui 6'8" 300. 4 year starter in McGurran. Questions at RT with Gillson, huge but too slow and plays soft. It all rest on how healthy Kleason and Lynch are at the start of the season both have started the past 2 years.
EDGE: UND (based on returning experience, too many questions on NDSU's OL at this point)

TE
EDGE: NDSU, no need to even break this one down. UND has gotten almost nothing other than run blocking out of TE play in the past 3 years.

DL
DT is stacked, enough said. Jirik will be very good. Other DE?

Brenneman is huge and a stud. Benjamin squats the house and plugs the run game up. Nelson finished very strong last year. Welch looks legit. Cummings is massive but needs to play nasty and faster.
EDGE:UND (3 seniors)

LBs
Beck came on strong and will have a great year. Jemison if 100% will be a huge difference maker and a force, elite speed. Littlejohn is very athletic and with a few more pounds could be great. Olson is a man he will be a star this year.

Holes in the middle to fill with Peters, Ratelle, and Goodman. Peters is built like a fire hydrant, huge hits with surprising quickness. Ratelle doesn't look like a fr and brings the wood, very good coverage skills. Goodman is experienced but needs to play faster. Dom Bennett moves like a safety and hits like a LB if he stays healthy he will be a star. Finely is very athletic and bigger but needs experience. Andrews needs girth but has outstanding coverage skills. Jablonski needs to get bigger but rushes the passer very well and can stuff the run.
EDGE: If Jemison is himself NDSU, if not UND

DBs
Williams is it as far as FCS corners go, would start on most FBS teams (not LSU). Pierre is very quick and has great awareness, not a great tackler. Boyd has good size and coverage skills. Champion will provide solid depth. Heagle is awesome, plays like Polamalu. Dudzik is very solid.
Mersereau is a freak athlete 4.4, 41" vert, and clean record for safety. Needs to play more physical. Will make or break the secondary with his play. Darryl Brown is a rising stud. Dwayne Brown will be good once healthy. Chavon Mackey is physically gifted and great tackler but blows coverage at least once a game. Chris Hall is smooth but needs to get faster. Baylee Carr could be a surprise at safety.
EDGE: NDSU big time, no debate possible.

Specialists
K
Keller is unproven, not much else to say.

Miller has a big leg and is clutch.
EDGE: UND

P
LeCompte looked very good in the spring game. Should be a good one.

Cameron is great at landing punts inside the 15 but struggles to blast his team out of trouble with 50+ yard punts.
EDGE: UND

The dumb thing is the time spent thinking of that crap. I put it in the same category as the "dream conference" scenarios that will never happen. Go mow the lawn instead

[HerdBot]

This is the most insanely idiotic post I have ever read. When you said UNDs D-line is better you lost all credibility. Were returning 6 lineman on a terrific line. And Jemison will probably be a backup

[missingnumber7]

You lost me at:


Then lets also assume that UND does better than expected


I would like to nominate this for next years preposterous statement contest.

if UND does better than expected they will win 4 games and that is still 4 shy of being playoff eligible.

[Bison03]

Seriously, no need to even bring up this as a possiblity. You need at least 7 DI wins to make the playoffs. Take out SD School of Mines (NAIA non-counter) and San Diego St. (FBS gauranteed loss). That means UND would have to go 7-2 in their remaining games playing a Big Sky schedule; not going to happen.

The secondary scares me as much as yours scares opposing quarterbacks. I only trust Darryl Brown in coverage. If the quarterback plays really well the offense could be good but I don't know if the rest of the team will be able to compensate for the secondary. It is football so you never know but it could honestly be a rough year if we dont get some luck. There are some pieces to build off of but some gaping holes could be our demise. Margin of error will be very small.

[BisonFan02]

You know your secondary is good when a poster like this can't even criticize it....

What team did UND play when one kid had over 300 yards receiving? You can't make it up. If a kid can do that, your D Line sucks, your corners suck, your safeties suck, your coaches suck. I want to say it was winless Northern Colorado. Damn, now I am actually going to have to find it. 300 yards receiving, one kid, on a winless team. How about UND does ONE thing....ONE THING prior to having a fan go on the National Champs website with their pants down. They just went through the transition without doing anything. Not one signature win. Of course when their coach is ok with moral victories so I guess it becomes acceptable to a fanbase.

LOL.....didn't Muss say they went "toe-to-toe" with Idaho in a 40-0 beatdown? UND will finish is 6th place or lower.

These teams are better:

Montana
Montana State
E Washington
Cal Poly
Sac State
UNA
Weber State

[Mr. Burgundy]

Walker caught 10 passes for a Big Sky record 315 yards and two touchdowns as Lobato threw for 430 yards and four scores in the contest

That was against WINLESS Northern Colorado. I would say NDSU would have the edge on defense. But, you could ask Sam Houston to make sure, they had a pretty solid offense going into the title game.

Lets not lose sight of what NDSU did in 2010 after 2009. Coach Bohl went from chump to king of Fargo in a hurry. You guys should understand as much as any fans how much teams can improve from one year to the next.

Also understand that you're in a legit conference next year. The competition week in and week out will be COMPLETELY different. NDSU struggled the first few years in the MVFC for example. I'm not saying teams can't improve, but I would not expect instant success.

[thebigund]

Let me spell it out for you. UND was 8 - 3. Lost to Poly by 4. Lost to Fresno St. by 5. Got killed by Idaho, no avoiding that. Yes they beat Sioux Falls by 2 but it still counts in the W column no matter how bad UND played. Beat Northern Colorado by 2, again still a win no matter how bad they played. Beat USD by 1 after being down 37 - 14 going into the 4th quarter, again still a win. The losses count as a loss no matter how close or how Mussman wants to rationalize them. The point was UND could, just like you guys did in 2010, be alot better and win alot more games than even their own fans expected and they could also fold and win 3 games.

Dude, quit while you're ahead. Seriously.

[344Johnson]

You had me right away when you said NDSU had a better QB situation, you started to lose me when you mentioned JAKE "FUCKING" MILLER in the same conversation as Ojuri...you lost me more when you started pimping UND's receiving corps...and completely lost me when you mentioned the O-Line. UND's same offensive line that couldn't push around several lower-division teams...oh and claiming UND to have better D-Line and Linebackers??! Oh dear.

And no "thebigund," beating USF doesn't count. If you disagree, you should give the NCAA a call and see what they think about that.

[thebigund]

Define quality win. Mussman said we had some quality moral victories which made me sleep well, but they were still in the loss column.

[MNLonghorn10]

Oh no you didnt imply moral victory did you?
the moral victories in all of this, is how ndsu had a shot 4 different times with mertens as the quarterback. hell i wouldnt even say theyre moral...thats a victory in itself.

[NDSUstudent]

UND needs to play a full conference slate before the playoffs can be talked about, it is a really a whole different world than what the Great West was. A full conference schedule at the FCS level will expose every weakness you have. In 2010 we had two years of conference play under our belt.

[Strommer10]

UND 2012 Schedule:

Thu, Aug 30 South Dakota Mines Grand Forks, N.D. W

Sat, Sep 08 Portland State Grand Forks, N.D. L

Sat, Sep 15 San Diego State at San Diego, Calif. L

Sat, Sep 22 Sacramento State * at Sacramento, Calif. L

Sat, Sep 29 Cal Poly * Grand Forks, N.D. L

Sat, Oct 06 Eastern Washington * at Cheney, Wash. L

Sat, Oct 13 Northern Arizona * Grand Forks, N.D. W

Sat, Oct 20 Montana * Grand Forks, N.D. L

Sat, Oct 27 Montana State * at Bozeman, Mont. L

Sat, Nov 03 Southern Utah * Grand Forks, N.D. L

Sat, Nov 17 Northern Colorado * at Greeley, Colo. W

Reallistically I see 3-8, with potential of 6-5... at most. PSU, Sac St, & SUU are winnable games for UND. That's as much as I can give you.

the moral victories in all of this, is how ndsu had a shot 4 different times with mertens as the quarterback. hell i wouldnt even say theyre moral...thats a victory in itself.

:rofl::rofl: well played

You had me right away when you said NDSU had a better QB situation, you started to lose me when you mentioned JAKE "FUCKING" MILLER in the same conversation as Ojuri...you lost me more when you started pimping UND's receiving corps...and completely lost me when you mentioned the O-Line. UND's same offensive line that couldn't push around several lower-division teams...oh and claiming UND to have better D-Line and Linebackers??! Oh dear.

And no "thebigund," beating USF doesn't count. If you disagree, you should give the NCAA a call and see what they think about that.
why don't you enlighten me about how much better Ojuri is than Miller. Just don't say he's faster because he isn't.

[NDSUstudent]

why don't you enlighten me about how much better Ojuri is than Miller. Just don't say he's faster because he isn't.

Well Ojuri did run for a 1100 yards on a national championship team while splitting carries with another back.

Orjuri also averaged over 1 yard more per carry than Miller and I don't think you want to compare the level of competition the two backs faced.

[#1BISONFAN ASHLEY]

Just curious what quality wins did UND have last year? Sorry I'm too lazy to go look on fightingsioux

Its still "fightingsioux.com"?? i thought they changed it to the "thenonames.com"!

[Ross]

Define quality win. Mussman said we had some quality moral victories which made me sleep well, but they were still in the loss column.

Sam Ojuri Facebook (March 7) - Just ran that 40..4.48

I don't care if he's faster or not, I'll take it!

[CaBisonFan]

UND has an edge in goaltending and the power play.

[344Johnson]

Bigger, runs harder. Isn't 170-175 pounds.

You sure about that? NDSU is undefeated in hockey since when again?

LMFAO!! Dude. Don't be bringing facts into this argument.

[CaBisonFan]

No Sam Ojuri this past year...no championship. He ran against some very, very tough defenses and got yards that we simply had to have. The guy from up north has ability...but he hasn't done what Sam has. He won't get the chance either.

[reformedUNDfan]

:facepalm:


for reality, ndsu would own both lines, and linebackers, and RB is likely leaning NDSU with their likely greater depth. I'd give UND receivers, at least until we see what vraa can do when healthy.

williams would probably start next year at lsu. He probably would have been a top 10 corner in the draft this year at worst.

if you had to pick player by player, 9-10/11 players on defense would likely be from ndsu. UND's linebackers might compete for backup positions, their secondary would not be on scholarship. On offense, at least 3 oline, a te, starting RB, QB and a receiver would be from NDSU.

[ndsubison1]

Lets assume that NDSU is a #1 seed this year for the playoffs and has 0 or 1 loss. Then lets also assume that UND does better than expected and gets into the playoffs and with the wise bracket makers gets put into the same part as NDSU setting up a second round matchup in the FargoDome (UND probably wouldn't be able to host anyway) Predicting a score has too many variables and neither side is capable of making a true prediction without bias. So why not a position breakdown and comparison?

QB
Jensen proved he has toughness leadership and throwing ability last year even with Vigen holding him back a bit. Also better depth 3 deep at least with Wentz and Thorton.

Hansen looked good in spring but hasn't taken a real snap yet. Bradley is alot like Mohler if Mohler had a broken leg. Hendrickson is a freak athlete with a cannon for an arm and wheels to match but hasn't proven any consistency in games.
EDGE: NDSU

RB
Ojuri was legit last year and should see more of the rock this time, needs to be better in pass protection. Matt Jones also looked very dynamic in spring action.

Miller is undersized but runs a 4.4, has amazing vision, and doesn't take big hits. Sutton lacks speed but runs hard and is a great blocker. Garmen is super quick and got bigger over the winter.
EDGE:WASH

WR
Wahlo has the physical tools to play on Sundays no problem if it clicks this year he could be a nightmare. If Vraa stays healthy he should provide valuable depth. Smith has alot of Welker in him. Gebhart should provide depth and perhaps Okland will utilize his ability and make an impact early in his career.

Hardin was couldn't be covered in the spring game by a suspect DB group and looks better than ever. McGill gets open but has no YAC. Ivery is quick as a cat with great hands but needs to get a little bigger, finished very strong. Townsend is huge 6'3" 226 and has amazing hands and should be getting faster with his ankle getting close to 100%. Jackson is HUGE 6'3" 240, getting faster and running better routs, no DB wants to tackle him. He is a potential match up nightmare being bigger than alot of LBs.
EDGE: UND

O-Line
Billy Turner is a stud. Grimmestad will be very solid. Hinz could be legit. Big holes to fill from graduation.

Huge LT in Denui 6'8" 300. 4 year starter in McGurran. Questions at RT with Gillson, huge but too slow and plays soft. It all rest on how healthy Kleason and Lynch are at the start of the season both have started the past 2 years.
EDGE: UND (based on returning experience, too many questions on NDSU's OL at this point)

TE
EDGE: NDSU, no need to even break this one down. UND has gotten almost nothing other than run blocking out of TE play in the past 3 years.

DL
DT is stacked, enough said. Jirik will be very good. Other DE?

Brenneman is huge and a stud. Benjamin squats the house and plugs the run game up. Nelson finished very strong last year. Welch looks legit. Cummings is massive but needs to play nasty and faster.
EDGE:UND (3 seniors)

LBs
Beck came on strong and will have a great year. Jemison if 100% will be a huge difference maker and a force, elite speed. Littlejohn is very athletic and with a few more pounds could be great. Olson is a man he will be a star this year.

Holes in the middle to fill with Peters, Ratelle, and Goodman. Peters is built like a fire hydrant, huge hits with surprising quickness. Ratelle doesn't look like a fr and brings the wood, very good coverage skills. Goodman is experienced but needs to play faster. Dom Bennett moves like a safety and hits like a LB if he stays healthy he will be a star. Finely is very athletic and bigger but needs experience. Andrews needs girth but has outstanding coverage skills. Jablonski needs to get bigger but rushes the passer very well and can stuff the run.
EDGE: If Jemison is himself NDSU, if not UND

DBs
Williams is it as far as FCS corners go, would start on most FBS teams (not LSU). Pierre is very quick and has great awareness, not a great tackler. Boyd has good size and coverage skills. Champion will provide solid depth. Heagle is awesome, plays like Polamalu. Dudzik is very solid.
Mersereau is a freak athlete 4.4, 41" vert, and clean record for safety. Needs to play more physical. Will make or break the secondary with his play. Darryl Brown is a rising stud. Dwayne Brown will be good once healthy. Chavon Mackey is physically gifted and great tackler but blows coverage at least once a game. Chris Hall is smooth but needs to get faster. Baylee Carr could be a surprise at safety.
EDGE: NDSU big time, no debate possible.

Specialists
K
Keller is unproven, not much else to say.

Miller has a big leg and is clutch.
EDGE: UND

P
LeCompte looked very good in the spring game. Should be a good one.

Cameron is great at landing punts inside the 15 but struggles to blast his team out of trouble with 50+ yard punts.
EDGE: UND

laughable that you think und would have the edge at RB. ojuri alone gives the advantage. also we have one of the best DL in the country. quit trying to want to be as good as we are. possible 1 seed for next year preposterous statement contest

[IzzyFlexion]

Question here: With the expansion of the playoffs to 24 teams, does anyone suppose the 7 DI win requirement might get tossed or set aside?

Define quality win. Mussman said we had some quality moral victories which made me sleep well, but they were still in the loss column.

[tony]

If you count moral victories in the W column, shouldn't having hit a last second FG to beat an NAIA team and both the USD and UNC "wins" be moral losses?

Good thing for UND is that it doesn't matter how mediocre they've been in the past\, this is a new season and, hey, if things go right, UND could make the playoffs if the Big Sky is as soft against physical teams as they sometimes appear.

NDSU has one guy who we know can be "the guy" but recruiting and such would indicate that even our unproven backups would be better than teh UND's guys. But we are all entitled to an opinion...even if yours is going to be a bit "out there." You really dropped the ball on the Lines. You said NDSU's has too many question marks. Sure seemed like in your explanation that the UND line had a lot more to be worried about. You also failed to mention that UND failed to dominate in the trenches against multiple teams (including NAIA schools). In what world would that line even be allowed on the same field as NDSU's lines? Especially our defensive one.

[KSBisonFan]

Sarcasm? The moral victory part or the entire post?

[Professor Chaos]

Lolling at UND's "edge" on the D-line....

[JSUBison]

No, even last year teams that won 7 DI games were left out. 6DI wins only gets in if they win their conference.

I'd also guess that if last year was a 24 team field, teams such as Georgetown (8-3), Liberty (7-4), Duquense (9-2), and of course ISU-R at 7-4 would have been likely picks before a 6-5 team or a 7-4 with a DII win.

Wouldn't we be considered enablers to a group (Fighting Whioux) already known as being intolerant, racist, hostile and abusive? Also, serious question. As far as closing your "gap", seems like closing the gap of a Whioux fan is like trying to put the cat back in the bag, not likely.

[344Johnson]

Would everyone on here love to get UND in the FargoDome soon so you close the gap on head to head in the FargoDome? Thats a serious question.

I'm sure everyone here would like to have the head-to-head in the FargoDome be different but I don't think anyone here loses sleep over it. Lets look at some simple facts. The FargoDome became NDSU's home at the END of an era of great success. Great success turned into terrible luck by the first game in the dome with Beachy going down. This, coinciding with the reduction of scholarships made it impossible for NDSU to keep doing what it was doing, especially with UND starting to become a better team.

That said, I'd like to get UND in the FargoDome and have the boys give them a proper welcome to Division 1 playoffs. The dome would certainly be rocking for that game.

Matchups that will never happen. I think this is a good thing to discuss. Old guys vs young guys who run away...I think these are matchups worth talking about...and giving the edge to.

QB Old guys--RTO...Not much going on upstairs, but he's got a nice wife.
Young guys--344...only plays the 1st half

Edge...young guys for the 1st half...of the 1st half...of the 1st half...of the 1st half.

RB Old guys--PL...I dare teh youngin's to stand in the way of him and his sausage
Young guys--Ming...Is a bit shifty (or is it shi##y?) but tends to forget he is not playing softball and slides when the ball gets close to him.

Edge...Old guys for the first play...maybe not even for the whole play.

O-line Old guys--SDBison...if he can stay hydrated (jag) RTO will stay untouched and pretty.
Young guys--badlandsbison...what he lacks in size, skill, athletic ability, eye sight, and overall hygiene he makes up with ignorance.

Edge...Wash. Seriously...go wash up...you guys stink.

Special teams Old guys--Answer Guy...Not much to look at and tends to pull the ball wide-right when he is needed the most.
Young guys--MNLonghorn...he is "special" and this was the most fitting position.

Edge...Old guys...as long as special teams unit is not needed.

Wide receivers Old guys--TAB...quite possibly the best player on the team
Young guys--DjKyRo...maybe the only person on the team to make TAB look fast

Edge...The defense because they can key in on the run.

[bisonboone11]

Let me spell it out for you. UND was 8 - 3. Lost to Poly by 4. Lost to Fresno St. by 5. Got killed by Idaho, no avoiding that. Yes they beat Sioux Falls by 2 but it still counts in the W column no matter how bad UND played. Beat Northern Colorado by 2, again still a win no matter how bad they played. Beat USD by 1 after being down 37 - 14 going into the 4th quarter, again still a win. The losses count as a loss no matter how close or how Mussman wants to rationalize them. The point was UND could, just like you guys did in 2010, be alot better and win alot more games than even their own fans expected and they could also fold and win 3 games.
Do you remember that 3 of your wins were against Black Hills State, Montana-Western, and Sioux Falls? I live in Great Falls, MT, and none of the people I work with even knew Montana-Western had a football team. Yes, those may be in the W column, but they won't help your playoff hopes.

That probably won't happen. Assuming NDSU wins 4 more in the next 10 years and goes dormant for 20 years like last time UND would have to win 12 in 30 years which would be ridiculous. Or just win the next 8 in a row and play NDSU in the championship to see who gets to 10 first. It'd be a good script.

One potential could be Veldman. He is a big guy with pretty good hands and a relatively good blocker. Haven't really put a lot of thought into it, but he's the first one that comes to mind that could have a chance. I don't see him making as much of an impact as Mays, but who knows.

[thebigund]

I couldn't help but notice that Keller's FG in the spring game didn't have very good distance. Does he not have a good leg or was that half assed or miss hit?

[Bison bison]

Just curious what quality wins did UND have last year? Sorry I'm too lazy to go look on fightingsioux


their big win was voters in the coaches poll confusing NDSU and North Dakota.

[NDSU92]

I know last year people were saying Keller was more accurate than Jastram but didn't have quite the leg that he did...I didn't see the field goal in the spring game but apparently it was a 43 yarder.

They show it on the recap for the spring game one gobison. I've never seen him kick but it didn't look like he'd be able to make even a 50 yarder.

[NDSU92]

Didn't look like it had too much clearance, on the other hand you get three points for putting it through the uprights and that's what he did. I wouldn't expect him to try to kick a 60 yarder when he's 43 yards out.

[thebigund]

Um...you say that like hitting a 50 yard field goal is like tying your shoes...
It's an observation. Both of UND's kickers hit 50 yarders that hit the net over halfway up the uprights which can come in handy against Northern Colorado.... The reason I asked is because NDSU has recently had pretty strong legged kickers and it seems weird that they'd deviate from that.

So are you trying to say that you need strong legged kickers because you're offense can't get it any farther than the 35??? It's going to be a long season if you can't even get into the red zone, let alone score a touchdown.

if it wasnt for a few 50 yard field goals, northern colorado would've had a win this year.

thank god ndsu didn't need a 50 yard field goal against st. francis this year.

look you proved yourself, ok? ON PAPER...und is just as, if not better than ndsu at football in 2012. your original post proves it all. it had great in depth analysis. it is something none of us here even know where to begin to comprehend with.

your squad is solid top to bottom. it is battle tested after a great out of conference strength of schedule last year with some impressive wins.

the big sky conference has itself a new sheriff. especially with all of the craziness going on in bozeman, und should be right at the top where i pick them to be.

if und isn't a top 2 seed this upcoming playoffs, i will be completely shocked. after what ndsu lost on defense last year, and offensive line...it's gonna look bad...and very ugly.

good luck this year. i hope ndsu can scratch off enough wins to squeak into the playoffs to maybe have a date down the road against und. und will be the higher seed, but who knows if the ncaa will let them host the game.

will you please post more on here though? you have a great skill. nothing like we've seen around here since lakes got banned. you know your stuff.

what is und's most prestige possession when it comes to football? whatever it is, i hope ndsu can even be in the same ballpark when it comes to achieving it.

again, good luck. stick around. teach us a thing or two about succeeding in the fcs. particularly playoffs and beating fbs opponents. und's roster is made of the recipe for upsets, yearly. i look forward to what you have to say! :)

Would everyone on here love to get UND in the FargoDome soon so you close the gap on head to head in the FargoDome? Thats a serious question.

we should only meet in the playoffs. if you ever get there

[ndsubison1]

Question here: With the expansion of the playoffs to 24 teams, does anyone suppose the 7 DI win requirement might get tossed or set aside? Could a 6-5(all DI wins) or 7-4 (with a DII win) be enough to earn a playoff berth? Or they could give the ENTIRE Colonial Athletic Conference an auto bid. (J/K here)

7 DI wins will still be the precedent but some 6-5 teams will get in every once in awhile

[ndsubison1]

reading comprehension not too high? what does wash mean to you? It means NDSU has one very good running back and some promising young ones that looked good in the spring and UND is returning 3 guys that had considerable playing time. That means that in a hypothetical situation such as this hypothetically they could be equal hypothetically

next you will tell me the redskins have a better backfield than the vikings

What the hell is he about to fall into?

A) Trap door
B) Pole vault 'box'
C) Stairwell

I'll go with "D"......alternate universe.

Is that a Sue football game or are they performing "The Nutcracker"? Huh. I guess to each their own! Someday maybe they will learn the Xs and Os of a real live football game.

This is one of my favorite all time football games behind the 9 championships and then all other Bison games...

LOL....UND sucks!!!!

[KSBisonFan]

Not sure what exactly is going on here, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Games to Go dude. Perhaps he switched from blow back to suck.

Here's my question: WTF is the guy running that blower on the sideline doing? Was the ball really a helium balloon on a string attached to that blower thing? Was there supposed to be dry ice involved in this whole charade of a spring game? Is he a UND grad and during pregame #84 said, "Hey, you. Yeah, you with the beatles haircut....Yeah, I'm talking to you dipsh&t. BLow me!!" And the guy running the blower took it a little too literally?* Help me out here, someone. I'm smart and all but this has got me stumped.






*UND people don't know what "blow me" means.....they think it means going down to Home Depot and renting a blower and then aiming the thing right in your face as you're trying to catch a pass for the UND Fighting Sio.......Ooooops! my bad. Did I mention that while you're catching this pass you're falling into the nexus of the universe. Almost forgot that you're wearing #84. OOooooh yeah, and the night before this sh&t all went down, the cops were at your house and busted you and 3 of your friends for possession of drugs and found Answer Guy in the trash.......that's what BadlandsBison said. That is all**








** To be continued so it's not really all......that means there is more to come in this sh&tty thread.

Grand Forks doesn't have a Home Depot. :D

They most certainly didn't lose on a touchdown pass with 7 seconds left. That wouldn't even make sense. They clearly won. NDSU didn't even score in this video.
One wonders if Bomar was talented enough to start at UND? Serious question.
