New Verbal Chris Board

[Mr Meaty]

Do not agree.

I think he meant the average fan. I for one looked for Board on special teams all the time. making the tackle or pushing the return back to all his support coming behind him

Another guy we as fans didn't appreciate enough.

I underappreciated the heck out of him. I was very surprised when he signed as an UDFA. I saw his first preseason game though and you can tell he belongs in the NFL. I'm happy that he has turned into a special teams stud for them. The Ravens seem like a great team to play defense on. They have some creative defensive packages and they know how robuse their guys.

I think he meant the fans from Bisonville, and we aren't the average fan. I know a lot of people noticed Chris on teams, he was a monster and in on almost every tackle it seemed, kind of hard to miss him out there really. But I think the previous poster was implying that Chris didn't garner a lot of discussion from us, other than maybe how the young man hadn't cracked the defensive starting line up until his senior year. Not appreciated? He sure was. Raved about? Probably not as much as others we've seen come through wearing the uniform. When we recruited Chris Board, there was a ton of excitement from Bisonville about this giant safety that was going to be roaming around the backfield lighting people up. Well we all saw him not start at safety, played some mop up snaps occasionally, then he got moved to LB I think before his junior year(?). The kid obviously is gifted and is showing the league how great he is on special teams. I just think that when he was here, we including myself, had some pretty high inaccurate expectations for Chris Board and they weren't met.

This story reminds me of Ramon Humber. I mean honestly, were there outside linebackers when Joe Mays played? I say that tongue in cheek obviously because Joe got all the attention in the middle, and Maresh and Humber went somewhat unnoticed....at least from what I can remember.

If you think about it, there a lot of guys on this current team that really don't get talked about very often. Does that mean we don't appreciate them? No. But the leaders and the captains are usually at the forefront and it's natural for us to gravitate towards them and critique them. It's part of being in that role I guess.

Wow. Great words from Harbaugh there.

I was excited when he was playing Safety, then lost track when he moved to LB. His quote stuck in my mind, When Dom Izzo asked why he did not quit. He said, " If you quit now, you will be a quitter for the rest of your life"..something like that.

We had his father and girlfriend at our tailgate in frisco. He said Chris was going home to Florida to train. He hired a trainer and an agent. We wished him well and I looked for him occasionally.
He sure knew what he was doing. And I’m glad he listened to himself.

Board was just as important as Wentz or RJ in beating ISUr in the NC when you think about it.

Special teams stud his entire career at NDSU.

Another nice thing about out our school colors is that they stick out. I was able to find Board pretty quick.

It's intimidating to the eyes.
