But, we are not good enough to play B1G teams like the Gophers......

But, we are not good enough to play B1G teams like the Gophers......

As far as the Gophers are concerned, I think we became too good. Those early-season non-conference games are expected to be easy wins that will help them become bowl-eligible. They now know they're not going to get that out of the Bison.

I absolutely hate this comment. A gopher fan was nice enough to come on here and post a fantastic article. Like it or not, the Gophers are going to be better than NDSU. It might not have been last year, but they are in the Big Ten. They play in amazing venues each and every week. When we are at Indiana State, they are at Penn State, Nebraska, etc. Lets stop sounding like sour pusses. Get over the fact that we are in the smaller pond. Maybe someday things will shake up differently. We have many players that can play at U of M. Several. Just like Duluth probably has a few kids that could play at NDSU. The landscape isn't even lose. 85 vs 63 scholarships, massive TV contracts, massive stadium, massive alumni support, just because we kicked their ass 2 of 3 times and should have won all 3 doesn't mean they aren't at a SUPERIOR situation to recruit, etc. Sorry for venting, just get so tired of the short man syndrome. Coach Kill is doing a fantastic job rebuilding from rock bottom. They are doing a heck of job with this recruiting class. Congrats to him and his staff, and we are doing just fine ourselves, this can be mutually beneficial.

His point is we should be good enough to play UM in OOC games. But according to the B1G we are not....

Ron is right (of course). I realize now my response is basically sour grapes, as well. I agree U of M is in a superior situation. I love Coach Kill and think he has the program heading in the right direcition. I guess I just hate the superiority complex the Big 10 had adopted. Makes no sense why we can't play them every once in a while.

Great, I am glad you hated that comment. I must have done something right today.

NDSU is the superior program at this time. I agree, Kill is going a good job, but I will cede no ground to the U of M just because they are in the B1G. Until they beat NDSU on the field again, or the programs go in markedly different directions, I will continue to have "short man's syndrome."

Pretty easy to see how important Minnesota kids are too NDSU's football success.

I've long thought that a strong program at Minnesota could indirectly help NDSU.

First, they wouldn't have to recruit borderline FBS players. I think this is happening now. The caveat is that their walk-on program will also get stronger as we are also now seeing.

Second, a strong program at the U of M would help grow interest in college football throughout Minnesota and the region. This might also help improve the quality of regional high school football.

I have also thought this for a long time................... the rest is just sour grapes whiney crap...............I will say this with all sincerity the best fans I met this year are bison fans the worst fans I met this year are bison fans

[HerdBoy]

A good number of the Bison from the Minneapolis area.

[HerdBot]

What's odd is we seem to be focusing less on Minnesota the last few years. Not sure if its due to talent but its interesting. Wish we could have years like 2010 with vraa, Olson, Littlejohn, Turner, and Crockett

[BlueBisonRock]

A hearty 'Thank you' to The Gopher Report for posting this link. It was a good read and provided a nonBison point of view regarding Minnesota players. As I looked through the report, I saw a few former Bison who were having success elsewhere and I saw an excellent core of Minnesota players.

I also shook my head, then agreed with Burgandy. SoCalled, Don't consider this a calling out as there are a number of others who immediately jump down a non BV poster's throat when they visit the board. Just a few days ago, Talon got a major ass reaming when he politely inquired about the Bison future. Frankly, I was embarrassed then and I was embarrassed with the response on this thread.

I know we (BV) can do better than this. Lets drop our feisty 'fight the world' crap. This only makes our fanbase look like a bunch of arrogant and ungrateful jerks. A lot of us like to take certain ex-posters to task for the same reason.

From my standpoint, I do want to see the Gophers have success and I believe Coach Kill can do the job. I also believe its time for our fanbase to step up and bring a level of maturity and respect to the table.

Look out now. Dont tread the line of being called a closet gopher fan by a selected few here because you actually know that the UM is superior to NDSU, and absolutely refuse to accept it.

Sorry rock. Two very different situations. Its obvious this poster had good intentions. Talon and that other thread...not so much.

[TransAmBison]

Talon is a good guy, but he isn't going to put up with crap. I haven't gone back to reread the whole thing, so you might have been caught in the crossfire, but he was attacked pretty much right from the beginning.

Seems to be the case.

You guys are getting some excellent players in Hawkins, Ejiya, and Menard by the way. Do you guys have any idea what position Ejiya will play at NDSU? Maybe as a strong-side linebacker?

Currently listing Ejiya at RB. LB would be his second position if the team feels like he isn't going to play RB.

The last time I checked, they actually play the games. They don't award the win to the team that plays in the B1gger league or has the most money. The game is played between the lines. Take away the crowd, the venues, the money . . . and just look at the product on the field. Most years from 2006-2013, NDSU has the better team on the field vs. MN . . . just a fact. That's all that really matters. Maybe MN will be the better team from 2014-2020, but we will never know. Having more does not mean your team on the field it superior, it just mean you have more money and a bigger stadium.

MN = Recruit # of Stars behind name, we are B1G attitude, collection of Individuals, culture of losing (this is changing with Kill)
NDSU = Recruiting & Player Development, Team, Winning, Team, Culture of Winning

thats a lot of words for trying to tapdance around how NDSU isn't in a better situation overall than Minnesota.

BTW, has any other NDSU team beat Minnesota in anything besides football between 2006-2013?

Every argument the Gophers use against playing NDSU, we use for not playing UND.

All true. Wrestling and Men's basketball are basically the only revenue producing sports that have not beaten Minnesota in the last decade.

Like it or not we are in a lower division. I don't blame them for not wanting to play us. If I was them I'd be wanting higher profile games from the FBS. Why play a FCS team? Sorry but we are big time in the FCS and small time to everybody else. Hell, I don't want to play Incarante Word and they are in the same division as us.

John, I love your posts and the recruiting information you bring. Its easy to see that you work your ass off. Thank you.

I have also noted that you are sensitive to certain approaches. I doubt that you are nearly as sensitive in your job or when you have a discussion with a recruit. All I am suggesting is that you (and God knows a lot of others on the board) take a deep breath before engaging perceived slight.
