They're in the NFL. New ones are coming.
Re: It's About the Caliber of Play
I agree with everything you said except for the talent level of NDSU. This years team is down a bit in talent but less than a year ago we would have been talking about Jabril Cox, Trey Lance and Dillon Radunz.
I think the game of football is changing a little too. The days of big linebackers seems to be going away for for 4 down lineman and a bunch of hybrid linebacker D backs.
Re: It's About the Caliber of Play
St Thomas is almost as large, has a bigger market, and WAY more money than NDSU.
they should be insulted to be in with a cow college in the middle of nowhere.

Does anybody remember the linebackers that we used to have?... and the defensive linemen?
Where are you Ramon Humber?... and Joe Mays?... and Grant Olson?
NDSU has had 2 of arguably their best ever teams the last 2 years. I'm not sure what you're talking about with this statement. Although I agree with everything else. This spring is basically an exception to every rule for pretty much every program.
Re: It's About the Caliber of Play
YEA> everyone leaving the FCS that has Talent literally 50+ top end guys since last fall.

Right. They talk about UST all the time on ESPN and the Tommies have put a ton of players in the NFL
Remind us to never allow you to be an ambassador for NDSU
Not sure what your point is, but you should change your user name to FCS 4 Life
Re: It's About the Caliber of Play
NDSU could have 3 picks in the top 50 for this year's NFL draft - Lance, Radunz, Cox; how can you ask where is the talent
Re: It's About the Caliber of Play
Yeah I would give it a few years before we say the talent is missing from our roster. LB size is down, sure, but they can play. Had a rough game on Saturday, but they can play.

I only see a few comments doing so (yours included). The rest are complimentary of NDSU FB
Not sure what you mean by "get over yourself". My huge ego has no relevance to what we're talking about here
