When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

True. Our 2008 and 2009 teams learned quickly about the need to retain your players. Attrition killed that team. Not only players, but position coaches.
They also learned the importance of developing depth at all positions, including quarterback. It was so bad, DJ McNorton played linebacker for a game. They also learned you need more than 1 good corner and the need for an elite LT. (Remember Jose Moehler getting sacked 12 times vs UNI)
Injuries and attrition, (much due to bad character) destroyed that team like no one I have ever seen.
I think years later, we have a good handle on it and would probably be in a better position to move up

All true but the most important one is------
Coach Bohl also admitted that we needed to recruit a different type of player.

That is also why Big Sky did not approve NDSU. Two Montana school on board but others did not want someone else beating them right away. Bring on the competition.

Yeah it never ended up working out for us in the MVC.
the 08, 09 years had alot more to do with us than the level of competition
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS

Potato, patato. I don't think you can separate the two. We didn't have the right type of players for the level of competition. Bohl himself told the story about how after getting the snot beat out of us by UNI he got a close look at their linemen and turned to a coach and said, "We have to get ourselves some of those".
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

[QUOTE=Vet70;1355873]yeah thats true- I always wonder how the 06/07 teams would have done in the MVC in 08/09. We had a damn good team those years, would have been really fun to have seen how we stacked up not playing the great west schedule

Sun Belt success: Georgia Southern won the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl last year against some college called Eastern Michigan? Ever heard of the bowl game, or Eastern Michigan much for that matter? Yeah me neither. You couldn't get me to fly down and watch a worthless bowl game like that.Can you provide a link? This would be ridiculous.

You've never heard of the Camellia Bowl? Odd.
Also, when you get 3rd place in your division of the sun belt, you dont go to very good bowls.

NDSU was only 2-0 in the Camellia Bowl (beating the Griz both times), including the game that would get them the votes to win the 1969 College Division National Championship.
Hail the BISON!!!
