So how the bunnies doing? Got 4 verbals yet?Quote:

Thats a good question you ask at the end. I wonder what Stig will say if they lose all the top ones. I saw a FB they offered commited to Illinois. Big guy, weighed like 260 lbs.Quote:

According to Hallstrom's blog it sounds like Jackson enjoyed his visit but wants to stay closer to home and is waiting to see what other offers may come in before signing day.
Come on Fred. Be the next Craig Dahl or Nick Schommer. Dominate in the MVFC and get a shot at the league.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

well i personally beleive we gotta quit living in the past...i wanna win now, i dont care so much about how good we were 5 years ago, 20 years ago etc....i want to be good now.......do i take pride in our tradition HELL YES!, but like i said i would much rather be able to brag about the now and not the pastQuote:

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.
No, we don't! :D :D :hide: :hide: :( :(Quote:

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.
According to Stu (worst reporter ever) NDSU is the "Evil Empire". Hey Stu you look like crap all the time. How about you clean up your look and your act.......then you might have a chance of someone considering you to be a professional. Excerpt from Stu's blog:
So the state of South Dakota loses another bright athlete to the evil empire up north, in the name of seeking football glory. Let's just hope he has a chance to experience beating SDSU during his time of eligibility, because those wins haven't been piling up of late.
OK I don't care if it is a SDSU, NDSU or Minnesota recruit but for a writer to take shots at the kid for his choice and then also take pot shots at the father. Maybe Stu needs to spend some time in Finishing School. I see why the Jackrabbits even disown him on their board.
Stay Classy Stu, Stay Classy.
Go back and read what Hallstrom wrote about Dudzik and you will see comparisons with SDSU.Quote:

I don't believe that Terry V is going out of his way to report that fact, it's just listed as one of the reasons same as location or facilities.
The coaching staff is typically given as a reason, but these two players are first I've seen who have said that their faith was a deciding factor.
Guess Stigs players will need lots of faith when the flash in the pan bunnies return to their mediocre / losing ways.Quote:

Can't wait for signing day!
yeah, NDSU basically has their entire class verbally committed for several weeks now. We have maybe a few unknowns left. Some coaches in the Missouri Valley are just getting off their Lazyboys to hit the recruiting trail. Coach Bohl just happens to take a more proactive approach.Quote:

When it was mentioned through Argus Leader Media (first by myself, then by Terry Vandrovec) that Gebhart was still listening to offers despite his verbal commitment, some of the more brilliant members of Bison Nation jumped to the conclusion that South Dakota State was positioning itself to lure Gebhart, when no one had suggested that and the Jacks never made him an offer.
He is probably getting info from his boy Meierkort, who claimed NDSU is a recruiting bully, and is no doubt sad that he couldn't pry Gebhart away.
Yep, I realize NDSU is almost finished (hoping for a kicker...), but this almost sounded like an official NCAA "dead period."Quote:

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. It was awfully nice of Hammer to post that on Mayville State's message board. I didn't even know they had one.Quote:

You mean our rival school is comparing its recruits to ours and a reporter from that state is typing mean things about us. Oh the horror. I find it funny he refers to us as the evil empire. Even when the Jacks beat us three times in a row they still see the NDSU vs. SDSU thing as us being the New York Yankees and them being everyone else who can't compete.
Who cares? This guys is obviously an idiot who thought he was going to write early and break a big story and now is wrong about it happening and probably either got his ass chewed for either even bringing it up or realized he was wrong and is trying to cover his ass. Sounds pretty familiar.
Yeah, that's obviously UND. [/irony]Quote:

I saw that South Dakota State only had one or two guys committed, so it just seemed that NDSU had something good going on."
Hallstrom doesn't have Brookings Envy. Trust me.
I think it would be hard to find anybody with "Brookings Envy"Quote:
