Then there is the football coach hire. Clays isn't going go cut it there is a reason he was never a coach and always an assistant

I don't follow the hockey team closely (was just never into the sport ... nor the Wild, for that matter).

But the men's bball team is really sad this year. Losing to USD and SDSU like that, should've pretty much been the signal. They did lose close to Mich St ... but a not close loss to NW ... yeah.

He'll get another year, though.


I was very excited for Claeys, because I assumed he was going to keep the staff together. That was the best thing about Kill. But then he fires two guys. So we'll see. He's obviously trying to make his own way.

Healthy NIU, Toledo, Bowling Green, WMU

Why don't you convince the MAC to extend invitations to NDSU and SDSU?? Then we can find out! 04-rock

NDSU has quite a few structural advantages vs. their FCS counterparts, but they also execute better than their FCS peers too. Add it all up: it is a machine in Fargo. I don't see things changing.

Their only competition is within the MVFC.

N Iowa gives them the most difficult game every year. SDSU is building amazing facilities.

It can't last forever ...

Carson Wentz the QB of NDSU made a lotta money yesterday....secured his place in the 1st Round especially if he follows it up with a Strong NFL Combine/Pro Day/Individual Workout.

The NCAA has to pretend that all the full scholarship conferences in the sub-division are equal. That's why they gave Jax St the #1 seed, and NDSU the #3 seed.

But there's the fact of it:

1) MVFC
...
2/3) CAA and Big Sky
...
...
...
all the rest of them


NDSU mainly recruits high school players from North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

These are very under recruited areas in the country, other than the few, obvious blue-chippers.

These players don't get a sniff at being recruited by the Big Ten.

That's NDSU's (and the MVFC's) edge, over the rest of the nation, at this level. They just have better players. Simple as that.

Gotta give some love to the Southland and besides, Jacksonville State earned a 1-seed, they should have went 11-0 with a win over Auburn.

Heh, Southland. I will say this: Sam Houston didn't get blown out in the first natty.

IMO, his individual workouts are going to be key. He has the physical dimensions, but there will be doubts about the competition he's been making these throws against. They are going to want to watch him throw to receivers being covered by NFL corners, etc.
