[Professor Chaos]

Vraa, Bonnett, LeCompte, and CJ Smith I'm sure. Probably Albers. Maybe Jeremy Kelly??? Would be fun to hear Schaetz's rep number benching 225 but I don't think he's planning to pursue a pro career.

I thought I heard there would be 9 other guys in addition to Carson. Maybe some former players like Travis Beck and Christian Dudzik?

[Mr Meaty]

A LB from University of Jamestown will be down to participate in the Pro Day.

[Professor Chaos]

I thought I heard there would be 9 other guys in addition to Carson. Maybe some former players like Travis Beck and Christian Dudzik?
Beck certainly is a possibility with his injury last year. Not sure about Dudzik, he participated last year if I recall so I don't know if he'd do it again.

[StL Bison Fan]

How about Jiriek?

[GOBISON123]

Also wondering about Big Leevon Perry. I know the RB from Detroit Lions would hate the thougt of getting tackled by him again. Brock Jensen could try ?

[tjamz]

Not sure about Dudzik and Jirik as it appears they are planning to open a sports training facility in Fargo called Dynasty Performance Training (http://dynastyperformancetraining.com/)

[BisonTru]

Per Joe Kerlin:

10 NDSU guys will participate.
Luke Albers
Andrew Bonnet
Jordan Champion
Christian Dudzik
Joe Haeg
Jeremy Kelly
Ben LeCompte
CJ Smith
Zach Vraa
Carson Wentz

Jensen cannot. He is under contract with the CFL and is more than likely going to be the #2 guy for the Redblacks.

[natstar1]

what about non Bison participating?

[GOBISON123]

Jensen cannot. He is under contract with the CFL and is more than likely going to be the #2 guy for the Redblacks.

Cool...:cool:

[gumby013]

Jensen cannot. He is under contract with the CFL and is more than likely going to be the #2 guy for the Redblacks.

Brock Bensen though....

[devin45k]

Cool...:cool:


The better thing for him is that the team he is on was in the Championship last year and the guy that is starting is in his 40s I believe, so he more than likely will get some playing time.

[BisonFan02]

So the rumblings about Beck weren't true??

I have no idea where some guys get this stuff. Beck is one of the GOATs for the Bison....but with how much of a beating he took....and the measurables he would have....he wasnt going to be able to make a career of it. I feel the same way about guys like Heagle, Olson, Vraa (frankly), etc....

[HerdBot]

I assume this isn't open to the public. Never thought I would see the day the NFL Network would be in Fargo for proday.

[THEsocalledfan]

Just glad that all those Andrew Bonnet leaps convinced them to come.

[devin45k]

I know people want to watch but I don't think it should be. Especially if some Bison fans start chanting or cheering. Let the players and scouts focus on their own deal, we can watch it on tv.

[BisonFan02]

Any guesses why ESPN is occupying Broadway Monday morning?

Had lunch with Carson Tuesday and he said it is not open to the public.

[BisonFanAnn]

Had lunch with Carson Tuesday and he said it is not open to the public.

How about close relatives?

So how is he holding up, with all the travel and interviews? I'm glad he got to hang out with his favorite uncle and do something normal for a little while. A guy needs a break now and then.

He is happy to be back in his own bed. It's been a long 8 weeks for him. Still as humble as ever.

Man are we getting spoiled, 3 years ago there would have been a 75 page thread on this and now its like oh no big deal just ESPN shutting down Fargo again. Man has the NDSU brand came a long ways!!!!!!!!

Dudzik told me he is going to try out as a FS and WR!! Been working out with Brock Jensen and Ryan Smith---says he's in best shape of his life
With his speed--hope he gets an invite to a camp

I'd be surprised if Ben LeCompte doesn't also get a camp invite----punting stud

Kinda nice have a few guys at each position to work out with------Haeg and Kelly; Albers and Bonnet; Champion and Smith----Dudzik
Vraa and Dudzik----wonder if allowed to have younger guys like RJ run routes for Carson

any other guys around showing up

Someone in the Fargo media had who he is throwing to but can't find it. I know Vraa and Bonnet were on the list.

[Professor Chaos]

Dom tweeted out that, per Jim Kramer, there will be representatives from all 32 teams in Fargo tomorrow for NDSU's pro day. Hue Jackson, and perhaps more team personnel, will be there for the Browns.

[scottietohottie]

I still have my fingers crossed that Travis Beck gets spotted in the rafters then is lowered down and then just starts running the forty and tackling people.

The article in the Forum yesterday mentioned that he's working with the Jiriks at a local gym/training center in Fargo. It piqued my interest about how a regular Joe like myself could get involved with them and do some workouts. I feel that it's probably geared toward the athlete (which I'm not) whether that be college aged, high school, or even younger, and that the focus would be strength and conditioning along with speed and acceleration programs. I'll probably do a little Bing search after I finish writing this post and see what I can find out about their training center. My inner Bison football geek/nerd/fanatic would love the chance to train with Dudz and Cole some time.

Why not give them a call? Or just show up at the training center. I wouldnt think that there business model would exclude the general public as catering to just athletes as it would cut out potential clients-revenue.

[Bison"FANatic"]

I am guessing but being they are starting a business from scratch they would train 13>1 and anybody else and their dog, cat and goldfish if they were a paying customer.

[56BISON73]

My thoughts exactly. There is a high turn over of clients in that business from what I understand.

Except for the ankle, he's in the best shape of his life. Too bad. Those that might doubt him really don't appreciate the speed and quickness he possessed. The speed MIGHT be degraded by the injury. I use that word because this isn't over yet.

Got a phone call from the Frisco Roughriders today since I purchased tickets from the pepfest. After I told the guy I didn't think I'd be able to make it down for any games because I live in North Dakota, we had about a 5-10 minute conversation about Carson Wentz and the NFL draft, initiated by him.

A few weeks ago when we held the Pan American Championship and Qualifier at the Dr. Pepper Arena, I had similar conversations with many people in the area just for wearing my NDSU hat. As expected, the Dr. Pepper staff are hoping to host the pep rally again.

[Bison03]

10 am tomorrow live on the NFL Network. 2 hour coverage of NDSU pro day. Looks like it reairs immediately after at noon. This is beyond awesomly crazy!!! Tear is up Carson, Joe, and everyone else. Show the nation how its done here.

[ndsubison1]

Jordan Champion???

He has nothing to lose.

[Alsen]

He has nothing to lose.

Champion attended a regional combine as well, and was outstanding in drills. I think it was the Arizona one.

[Bison_Pride]

Today Pac 12 teams Arizona and Utah are having their pro days also.

I wonder if they will get any mentions on the NFL Network and ESPN?

[Bison"FANatic"]

NFL network :facepalm: Says we are in a snow storm. Not a cloud in the sky and blue as can be. Just because other parts of the US are in a storm doesn't mean we are.

[BisonTru]

Per Ross, 4.33 40 from Dudz... wowzers.

That would be tied for fastest among all DBs at the combine.

Full disclosure: The combine times tend to be slower than pro days and hand times.

[MAKBison]

Mayock says he is comming to a game this fall wants to checkout the dome atmosphere

[GFBison]

They said he was 63 of 65 today. Not to shabby. 1 was the first wet ball. The other off the finger tips of Ryan Smith (I think).

[Christopher Moen]

It was a big ass hole. Did I hear that right. LOL!.

The NFL Network loved the quote!

[mebisonII]

This is about how I remember my senior spring semester going.

[GFBison]

They just showed Goff's water bottle throws, and they let him hold the ball and he turned the laces away from the water and his hand wasn't squirted. They didn't drench it and he had time to shake the ball. With Carson it was squirt it once, over his hand and laces, than as he slapped the ball it got another shot of water, and much more drenching. He did ok other than the first throw.

[MNLonghorn10]

Who was the better QB? Carson or Cole Davis

[AKBison]

It was a big ass hole. Did I hear that right. LOL!.

What was this in reference to?

[Professor Chaos]

What was this in reference to?
Mayock asked him about a check he made against Weber St last year (I think it was on his 1st quarter TD run) where he saw a particular pressure coming, checked into QB Power, and proceeded to run through "a big ass hole".

[EC8CH]

What was this in reference to?

QB power up the middle for a TD vs Weber State.

[MHDBisonfan]

Champion attended a regional combine as well, and was outstanding in drills. I think it was the Arizona one.

I believe he flew into Fargo on Tuesday.

Plus, Goff dried his hand on the back of his shirt.

The water bottle drill just showed how quickly Wentz can assimilate, and that is a huge plus.

Did I hear correctly that Jaws said carson's wonderlich was 40? Had heard 29 before.

Wentz to Cleveland "Sky is falling" folks may be able to relax a tiny bit. RG3 is a Brown.

it's not like rg3 signed a 5 year deal. Lots of stories out there right now that this should have no effect on them taking a QB at #2. if the browns like Wentz they should take him.

I wish I could disagree.

To step away from the ledge, I think Wentz can firmly seat RG3 next to the Gatorade tank.

[75NOVA]

It's another great day to be a Bison! Went to the bar at 10:00 and had ESPN on one tv and NFL network on another and hung out for a couple hours with fellow Bison. It's great to be self employed

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000647381/article/wentz-impresses-at-north-dakota-states-pro-day



Representatives from 18 NFL teams -- including Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson and assistant coach Pep Hamilton -- were on hand for North Dakota State's pro day on Thursday. The school had confirmations from all 32 NFL teams to attend the pro day, but weather in Chicago held up connecting flights and prevented many from attending the workout.

There were nine Bison players plus three additional players from area small schools who participated in the workout, which was held indoors and run on FieldTurf.


Quarterback Carson Wentz -- 6-foot-5 1/8, 237 pounds -- looked very good in his pro-day workout. He went through a scripted workout, and then the Browns' Hamilton -- as he did with Cal QB Jared Goff last week -- made Wentz throw a wet football.

Offensive tackle Joe Haeg -- 6-6 1/8, 305 -- stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine, with the exception of the broad jump (9 feet, 3 inches). As was the case at the combine, Haeg was unable to lift weights because of a shoulder injury suffered at the Senior Bowl that hasn't completely healed yet.

Cornerback CJ Smith -- 5-11, 188 -- ran the 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds on both attempts. He had a 39-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-11 broad jump. He did the 20-yard short shuttle in 4.13 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.0 seconds. He performed seven reps on the bench press. Smith has really good hands and looked good in the positional drills. Smith is a possible rookie free-agent pickup for a team following the 2016 NFL Draft.

Punter Ben LeCompte -- 5-9 3/4, 199 -- could get a look by an NFL team either in training camp or in rookie minicamp.

North Dakota State hosted a very well-organized pro day. The NFL representatives in attendance all got a copy of Wentz's scripted workout ahead of time.

CJ's vertical and broad would have been top 5 among all DBs at the combine.

[GFBison]

The wet balls were extras, not part of the 63 of 65 stat.

That make sense since I saw another drop and was thinking they didn't count correctly.
So all 65 were catchable and I saw at least one amazing catch that could of easily been missed.

Great day!

[Vet70]

Wentz to Cleveland "Sky is falling" folks may be able to relax a tiny bit. RG3 is a Brown.

Not quite time to step away from the ledge yet---if Cleveland wasn't still interested Jackson wouldn't have patted Carson on the rear. :rofl:

Interesting that they make a big QB FA signing on the day that their coach is at college pro day in North Dakota. Wentz to Browns is still very real. Just saw that they are now putting McKown on the trading block.

I love this tweet from Gil Brandt: https://twitter.com/Gil_Brandt/status/713020501052895233

"A lot of schools roll out red carpet for pro days. @NDSUathletics rolls out red, green and blue carpets. Nicely done."

The same way we dress up for a job interview and put our best foot forward to make a good impression, NDSU did a terrific job making a good impression for today's visitors. That can only help the players participating today - give everyone a positive feeling even before the event begins.

In the "moot point category", how thankful are Bison fans that the turf was upgraded a few years back.
The old turf was so cringe worthy.....it would have hugely devalued the "event".

Great day!

I saw 3 balls hit the ground in the scripted workout. The overthrow right after they said he was perfect. A couple throws later he missed a deep ball that Ryan had to dive for. Then there was an overthrow in the end zone.

Overall it looked awesome.

I saw 3 as well.

[Bison'01]

to put it in perspective, I compared CJ's testing numbers to other corners at the combine...

If you forget about the bench press (7 is pretty low), he has numbers nearly identical to a guy named Vernon Hargreaves- a very talented guy for the Gators...

Want to guess where he is projected to be drafted by many of the experts: TOP 10

However, CJ is 12-13 lbs lighter which is a big deal as a corner in the NFL.

[BadlandsGrizFan]

This has merit

Why the hell does that have merit??? Like NFL scouts give a damn about how the new carpet in the rusty old barn looks??? They were there to watch the best QB in the draft...thats it. I'm guessing the Fargodome doesnt "wow" many North Dakota A high school programs..let alone NFL scouts....back down to earth people....

Now that being said..please for the love of god...dont let Wentz land in Cleveland or Philly!!!!

Scouts dont give a darn about those things.
But they chose to put our place on national tv. That is a lot of exposure and it is indeed nice to have a decent facility.
We dont want people to think fargo looks like cleveland do we?:biggrin:

We certainly wouldn't want a crappy dome with a garage door.

[Professor Chaos]

We certainly wouldn't want a crappy dome with a garage door.
The red seats in the Fargodome continued to look bad but I'm sure NFL Network would've loved the wide angle shot of the rainbow colored seats at that other place too.

[Mr Meaty]

The 2016 NDSU Pro Day was just another example of excellence from our program. NDSU got to showcase some of their student athletes and bring along a few guys from other school. All positive exposure like this is great for NDSU and the State of North Dakota. We are not the backward cowboy and Indians like the country may think we are. The leadership at the school and within the athletic department continue to raise the bar. It was another day to be proud of our school and everything that goes with it.

[bisonmike2]

Got to watch the broadcast last night. Great exposure to the program. I've got to think that any kids who are being recruited by NDSU has to think it's pretty cool to see a 2 hour feature on the program on the NFL network. Nice opening shot of the trophy room.

[SoCalBison]

Yesterday was one fine day to be a Bison.

Some discussion on SS as to whether or not Ratelle was at Pro Day. Mystery solved, he was spotted by one poster in the background. :rofl:

[tony]

I don't think the "passes defended per game" stat really shows how good a job CJ Smith does in the secondary. I mean, how often did QBs dare throw to a WR he was covering?

Also: Too bad that Andrew Bonnet had the bad hamstring.

Yeah, I'm sure everyone on here thinks that our facility impresses guys that are used to 80,000 seat mega stadiums..............
The point made was that having the old turf would have shown badly on TV to a national audience.
Geez..... go back to being your really important self.

think of the 40 times on the old cement turf. Maybe they should bring it back for pro days.

[Bison bison]

I think the other benefit of Pro Day is that gave NDSU a chance to improve.

I'm sure they did a few new things knowing that there would be a lot of people to see Carson.

And knowing NDSU, they'll probably continue to do those things again providing a great venue for future Bison draftees.

[HerdBot]

It would certainly give our program a bush league perception for everyone to see.

The intro to the show looked great. Nice campus shots. Nice shot of our tunnel, trophy case, and locker room, which will soon be upgraded. Then awesome HD game highlights of Carson in the dome with Scotty

It looked big time!

Now as far as the scouts go, they could care less. But it's all about perception for a National audience

[BisonTeacher]

I just watched the broadcast on DVR. I am filled with Bison Pride right now and I find myself getting a little emotional about it. (RUBE). How great was this for the school, the program, as well as #11? There was a time for those of us who live out of town, trying to get info about the team meant waiting until the local paper printed last Saturdays scores the Monday after, IF... they even bothered. Now I can watch the games in my own living room if I so choose and this Pro day is on NFL network. The way Mayock and the other broadcasters talked about the program made me so proud. Im just amazed at all this and really impressed. So cool.

Today I am more proud than ever to be a Bison.

[Vet70]

My only regret was that when I watched Carson's interview again at 11:40 last night they cut out the "big a** hole" comment.

The only thing that could have made it look a little better was if they were having the open roller blade skating to the public around the concourse....that would have made great television in the Buttfartdome!!!

Do they still do that btw??? I remember doing that as a kid...

WaGriz looked great in the Wentz highlights....you're welcome.

[BadlandsGrizFan]

WaGriz looks good in any highlight...because its the best FCS stadium in the nation and one of the best at every level...I'll humbly take our win in that game!

But for real...do they still let people skate around the fargodome???

[BadlandsGrizFan]

does anyone have a link to the production of all this?? I wanna watch. As much shit as I throw at NDSU...I do still root for the Beezon and North Dakota!

One day you dumb sheep fuckers will figure out that spending your day jerking off about WaGriz doesn't make up for the pain of not winning a national championship in 15 years and officially being the big choke artists of all time in the FCS/D1AA championship game.

5>2.....and growing.

[MNLonghorn10]

WaGriz does look sweet. Both that place and the fargodome are interchangeable. I'd love outdoor football in September and October days. Not so much November and December but luckily for Montana fans, they don't have to worry about that

How did you deal with the pain of not winning one between 1990 and 2011?

[Bison Loaf]

Now THIS is what I love about Bisonville thread drift! (no purple) You just never know what kind of interesting turn it's going to take.

And when that turn is sheer, unadulterated envy from an opposing fan base............well, to be quite honest, it's pretty darn sweet!

[BisonFan02]

How did you deal with the pain of not winning one between 1990 and 2011?

By realizing NDSU has won 13.....and most programs are lucky to win even 1...and more likely zero. In Montana's case....2. What's their excuse?

I'm sure being reminded of all those National Championships must be very upsetting for you.

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Its not...I'd like to get back to going to them soon...but I can assure you..the University of Montana football program doesnt envy anyone when it comes to football programs. You wont find a program in the FCS with the combination of history, facilities, fan base, success, and passion that Montana has. Just got to get back to playing for chippers now.

[2011BisonAlumni]

You are right. Not a single FCS/D1AA program has been as successful as the Montana Grizzlies at pissing away national Championships. 5 time runner ups.

On top of that, the press Montana has received from their football program can't be matched by other FCS programs. I mean what other FCS programs can say they had a nationally renowned author write a book featuring their university's problem dealing with sexual assaults?

Remember that time Montana hosted Gameday ? Remember that time Montana won 5 consecutive FCS national championships? Remember that time Montana had NFL Network airing their pro day live? Remember that time Montana beat the reigning Big 12 champions live on Fox Sports? Fuck...No FCS program can hold a candle to them.

5>2.....

[CaBisonFan]

SO now that you guys are playing big boy football and winning championships....can we please quit counting the Div 2 chippers like the Bobcats????

It's a proud part of our history. The DII championship teams could have competed well in DI-AA...actually, most of the teams ranging way back to the early 60s could have.

Shoot. Was looking forward to watching that Holmes kid who some scouts mentioned they noticed that one game while they were watching all that film on Wentz. Remember he won some award and got to see the Bison win a fifth straight national championship in Frisco. Maybe he should have asked if he could tag along at the Bison Pro Day too.

How many players have each program put in the NFL? I don't understand why all you beezon fans get so riled up. youre 5 time champions..and are goingto have the #1 qb in this years draft. Evryone knows the Beezon are good. I'm just saying when it comes to trying to put down other programs across the country the UofM is probably the last one that you should attack. I never said the griz were a better team than the bison...what I did say was things like when it comes to facilities and fan bases, history national relevance...the UofM is top notch. If you have a mount rushmore of FCS the Griz are on it. same with the beezon....

now calm down, I know its 3PM on a shity Fargo afternoon but dont get too drunk by 3.... drinking your sorrows away at the Northerns buffet.

This!

We paid good money for the Canyon Club at WaGriz for the August game. We were treated like crap. Fortunately, I talked to a very nice Griz fan at the playoff game in Fargo. He said some of the ticket holders in the Canyon Club are Griz big shot wannabes, which explained their arrogance a little.

After the experience my wife and I had in MT in August, I decided to spend some of our away game money on contributing to the Bison funds instead of airline tickets and such.

Why should Montana be last? As far as I'm concerned, youre on the same level of pud as James Madison. But at least they've hosted gameday.


A mount Rushmore of fcs? Is this actually your fallback? Your shitty d2 coach is a waste of time hire and will lead Montana to 20 years without a national title.

I'd try to come up with 3 other spots for the mount Rushmore of fcs but I can't even come up with one.

Jesus bud...hitting the liquor hard today???? Do you not have reading comprehension skills??? I said they would be last of the teams to criticize based of history, program relevancy, facilities, fan base. So as to say there are way more programs that you could criticize..really any of them..before Montana.

As far as Stitt goes, i guess we will see. I like him and the direction hes headed. He is .500 against the Beezon...not many coaches can say that.

now calm down, I know its 3PM on a shity Fargo afternoon but dont get too drunk by 3.... drinking your sorrows away at the Northerns buffet.

Lol you are delusional. There are four presidents on Mount Rushmore. If you are naming the four most notable FCS programs of all time, I am going with the following.

Georgia Southern
NDSU
App State
Youngstown State

Those 4 programs have alll won more national championships than Montana and were far FAR more dominant when they were in the middle of their respective runs than at any point in Montana's history.

You guys are the Minnesota Vikings of the FCS. Passionate fan base, always think they are better than they usually are and usually have teams who piss it down their leg when it matters.

[MNLonghorn10]

Jesus bud...hitting the liquor hard today???? Do you not have reading comprehension skills??? I said they would be last of the teams to criticize based of history, program relevancy, facilities, fan base. So as to say there are way more programs that you could criticize..really any of them..before Montana.

As far as Stitt goes, i guess we will see. I like him and the direction hes headed. He is .500 against the Beezon...not many coaches can say that.
That's pretty much was I was pertaining to and still went on to critique your shitty program because I can.

Every body please remember montana blows big time
Always has always will they have a major complex that is their culture

[Bison Loaf]

Montana has 2 FCS Titles? And they are not even back-to-back? Damn, that's cute!

Honestly though, nobody can expect another program to have won 5 straight titles. I mean, who does that...............besides no one else, ever.

But on the other hand, wouldn't a FCS Mount Rushmore have to include teams that at least have back-to-back titles?

Some discussion on SS as to whether or not Ratelle was at Pro Day. Mystery solved, he was spotted by one poster in the background. :rofl:

I'm assuming Ratelle was there delivering a pizza for one of the scouts.

What an awesome day for ndsu, I celebrated with some beer

[MAKBison]

Its not...I'd like to get back to going to them soon...but I can assure you..the University of Montana football program doesnt envy anyone when it comes to football programs. You wont find a program in the FCS with the combination of history, facilities, fan base, success, and passion that Montana has. Just got to get back to playing for chippers now.

I thought for a second you were gunna throw western speed in there. If I were a giz fan I would be 1. worried about the overall health of my university 2. if the right coach was hired.

In order for that to have happened, doofus, you had to have everything click for you, and you had to have a Bison defense with as bunch of new faces in their first action, and their stud DB returner injured and unable to play. You had to have the Bison stud QB injured in the 3rd Quarter. Then you had to have the Bison OC have a brain fart on their last series. The second game showed just how lucky you were in the first game (and that game was without the stud QB, notwithstanding, a pretty damn good freshman QB). Oh, and even with all of that, it still couldn't have happened except at your place.

[Vet70]

I have an idea for inclusion on the "FCS Mount Rushmore":

Can Montana win one fbs game before they talking about history?

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Can Montana win one fbs game before they talking about history?

That's all they've got. That ancient history includes a Bison DII win over their DI at their place in 2003, and two losses to the Bison in the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento in the 60's. *Edit: I guess it was 1969 and 1970.

As much as I respect Montana the above 4 teams is a valid point.

[Bison"FANatic"]

As much as I respect Montana the above 4 teams is a valid point.

All 4 of those teams had a identity. Montana hasn't known who they are for a long time now. Are they a hurry up spread team, a power team, a D first team or do they play no D at all. They keep trying to find themselves and in that time have not found anything or given themselves a chance to be known for something.

[Bison bison]

Sounds like they have a chance at being the feel-good movie of the week.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

As much as I respect Montana the above 4 teams is a valid point.

I would pull for FCS teams in this order: NDSU, UND, SDSU, Montana. After that I don't have a preference, except what circumstances might be pertinent at a particular time.

I would have to agree with what you stated.........except for the passion and fan base. The attendance at the Jacks/Griz playoff game last year was 14,000 and change in a 25000 plus seat stadium. WTH ? ? Was it chilly ? cold ? too cold ? DAMN cold ??? It appears to me that there are a goodly number of "fair-weather" fans in Grizdom. IT'S THE PLAYOFFS.......SUCK IT UP !!!!

Complacency, I like it. Stitt will do wonders, defense and clock management are highly overrated. :)

[Bison 4 Life]

Why should Montana be last? As far as I'm concerned, youre on the same level of pud as James Madison. But at least they've hosted gameday.


A mount Rushmore of fcs? Is this actually your fallback? Your shitty d2 coach is a waste of time hire and will lead Montana to 20 years without a national title.

I'd try to come up with 3 other spots for the mount Rushmore of fcs but I can't even come up with one.

Sure. NDSU, App State, GSU, and Youngstown State.

All finishers.

[Hammerhead]

NDSU has a better stadium. I couldn't even see half of the near end zone from those seat they put into the corners.
NDSU has a fewer losing seasons in the past 50 years than Montana
I've only been to 3 Montana games (2 in Missoula) so I can't really say if one fan base is better than the other.
Success -- 5-peat.

You might as well cheer for a winner!

You gotta bad case of penis envy. But I gotta admit you would make a great F'hawk fan. You have a lot in common.

FYI---a bunch of us took a tour of your stadium this last year. According to the person directing the tour you guys are very proud of your handball chipper. :rofl:

[KC7]

SO now that you guys are playing big boy football and winning championships....can we please quit counting the Div 2 chippers like the Bobcats????

Let's take a look at those "Chippers" from the 1980's. Based on final polling from masseyratings.com

1983 Bison ended up ranked 88th in all of college football. They would have finished 10th in Div 1-aa ranking. ( Montana was ranked 202nd )
1985 Bison ended up ranked 65th in all of college football. They would have finished 7th in Div 1-aa ranking. ( Montana was ranked 239th )
1986 Bison ended up ranked 29th in all of college football. They would have finished 1st in Div 1-aa ranking. ( Montana was ranked 110th )
1988 Bison ended up ranked 59th in all of college football. They would have finished 3rd in Div 1-aa ranking. ( Montana was ranked 118th )
1990 Bison ended up ranked 38th in all of college football. They would have finished 1st in Div 1-aa ranking. ( Montana was ranked 93rd )

Can we finally put to rest all this bashing of the division 2 era, not only by this troll but by our own ignorant fan base. If you look at the numbers there wasn't a lick of difference between the Bison of the 1980's and the very top of the I-aa football. In fact if you look across the football spectrum all of the upper levels were closer together. In the 1980's I-aa teams were beating I-a teams at a rate that is 3 times higher then today's head to head match ups of FCS vs. FBS.

If your from Montana you should be damn glad you didn't have to get ass slapped in head to head competition with the Bison of the 80's.

I agree. The 80s National Championship teams played at a high level. D2 was actually good back then and had bigger scholarship numbers to play around with. They knew how to use their resources.

It was thanksgiving break so all students were at home. The first home playoff games are often like that in Missoula. But the NCAA still will almost garauntee a Montana home game because een on our worst days we pull more fans than any other school. Its all about dat money brother!

maybe it's been posted, but is there a link to the pro day results? or is that not public knowledge?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000647381/article/wentz-impresses-at-north-dakota-states-pro-day


Representatives from 18 NFL teams -- including Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson and assistant coach Pep Hamilton -- were on hand for North Dakota State's pro day on Thursday. The school had confirmations from all 32 NFL teams to attend the pro day, but weather in Chicago held up connecting flights and prevented many from attending the workout.

There were nine Bison players plus three additional players from area small schools who participated in the workout, which was held indoors and run on FieldTurf.


Quarterback Carson Wentz -- 6-foot-5 1/8, 237 pounds -- looked very good in his pro-day workout. He went through a scripted workout, and then the Browns' Hamilton -- as he did with Cal QB Jared Goff last week -- made Wentz throw a wet football.

Offensive tackle Joe Haeg -- 6-6 1/8, 305 -- stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine, with the exception of the broad jump (9 feet, 3 inches). As was the case at the combine, Haeg was unable to lift weights because of a shoulder injury suffered at the Senior Bowl that hasn't completely healed yet.

Cornerback CJ Smith -- 5-11, 188 -- ran the 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds on both attempts. He had a 39-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-11 broad jump. He did the 20-yard short shuttle in 4.13 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.0 seconds. He performed seven reps on the bench press. Smith has really good hands and looked good in the positional drills. Smith is a possible rookie free-agent pickup for a team following the 2016 NFL Draft.

Punter Ben LeCompte -- 5-9 3/4, 199 -- could get a look by an NFL team either in training camp or in rookie minicamp.

North Dakota State hosted a very well-organized pro day. The NFL representatives in attendance all got a copy of Wentz's scripted workout ahead of time.

I believe Dudzik ran a 4.35 40. Champion was 4.6, and Vraa was 4.7.

You're right dude the dome is way better...who doesn't enjoy being hungover by the second quarter......If left with the decision to go to the Fargodome....or stand in an empty silo and bang a wrench on the walls for 4 hours...I suppose I would choose the dome.

I wonder why Wa-Griz keeps popping up on top 10 stadiums lists for both FBS and FCS. You should really write someone and give them your expert analysis.

The best stadium? Is that all you've got? I would rather play in the Dome and win five straight FCS national championships than be in a "top 10" stadium and go 2-5.
