I know it's kind of a "what have you done for me lately climate" right now but I happen to be older than 3 years old so I guess my memory spans further. Even with NDSU's terrible performance last year they have a better transitional record than SDSU. Especially against D1 opponents. In the last 7 years SDSU has a 60.75 % win percentage to NDSU's 67.5%. SDSU has posted only one 8 win season since 2000. That's a long time. Craig Bohl has done it 4 of 7 years.

I guess what I am saying is yeah they, won three years in a row.... break out the champagne ....In my entire 44 years on this earth they have won in Fargo 1 time. Until they start winning in Fargo consistantly or winning convincingly, I'll stay the heck off that band wagon.



Back to recruiting. Who was the other guy in town last weekend......Fred Blow? I saw two fly out on the same flight Sunday.

For what it's worth, SDSU won 8 games last season.

yep you are right. your ratio is up to 1/7. Now I'll have to go adjust my numbers a bit.....damn facts are getting in the way. I went back and adjusted numbers to include last season.....still didn't really change the point, though.

Great point Scooter! Rep to you!
Not that impressed by SDSU's recent surge unless it continues.
Not happy with NDSU's recent slump, but expect that trend is over.

I don't think it was Fred Blow. According to his rivals site he was at Montana State last weekend and he will be at West Point in two weeks. If he's coming to Fargo it would probably be next weekend since he doesn't have anyone listed on that weekend.

It must be someone else. Bohl said in an interview that they have also been in Florida. I haven't seen or heard anything out of there. It could be someone from that neck of the woods. Maybe Brenden Pierre has a brother.

I'm sure this blog posting will ruffle some feathers, but hey, that's what Stu is good at.

It's interesting to see what effect on the media Bisonville & SDSUfans have. If somebody had enough motivation and an entrepreneur mind, it would probably be worthwhile to start a website that focuses on the four area DI schools.
It would include news postings and forums and would have to make money off of a sponsor, but it seems like within this age of technology this medium for "fandom" could be profitable. I mean even credited news reporters read these forums for tips to rumors and also to see what the fans are interested in.

The part of this blog most relevant to NDSU says that a talented high school football player (in this case, Trevor Gebhart) who committed early to an FCS school (NDSU) might have de-committed had an FBS school (Iowa) come in with a late scholarship offer. Hardly shocking or unique.

A commentor calling himself "WillieMays" summed up this blog post--and Stu Whitney's approach to "journalism"--better than I ever could:

Into a black cauldron filled with rancid water, toss a rat's tail. Maybe add a bat's wing. Add a little hair from a rabid dog. Then stir, stir, stir.

Stu is the worst in the business. Both SDSU and NDSU fans agree on that. Talk about short man syndrome. Get over it. I am so tired of TV and Stu comparing recruits to NDSU. Hallstrom doesn't do it when we get a kid. We don't constantly talk about how "faith" is a part of a decision. Simply, he chose NDSU. PERIOD.
