Rooting for NDSU to win -- or lose tomorrow?

[joshvanklomp]

Bohl is the real fuckin' deal as a recruiter. I have no problem admitting it: This NDSU team has better talent than this current Wyoming team.

I would say only 3-4 players on each side of the ball in Wyoming are better players but as a team NDSU is leaps and bounds above us right now.

I'm not sure it's the talent at the Fargo school as much as it is the coaching. I guess Bohl will prove that right or wrong in spring practice and 2014.

New fan here. Maybe is the school colors (my Division II alma mater's school colors are brown and vegas gold)

If you want a baseline for the type of jump your program can make, think of what Tim Miles did for Colorado State. That's how highly I think of Coach Bohl. May not have the most talented teams, but they will be disciplined on both sides of the ball.

We are a pretty spread happy conference - I don't think they will probably bring the 4-3 Tampa 2 unless they are playing a run heavy team or a pistol team.

Should be interesting what they do.

So Nevada, Air Force, SDSU, the sheep, and UNM?

Kind of funny you mention Tim Miles. Came from the Fargo school to CSU then off to Nebraska. Yeah, he did a lot of good things for CSU. I think Bohl will bring discipline and leadership to the program. That will be the biggest asset this coming year. Recruiting better players will follow.

From what I've read, forget AFA and UNM. There are better ways to stop the triple option than the 4-3 Tampa 2. I bet you might see it against Nevada, SDSU, and the sheeplets.

It isn't idea to stop a spread attack either. Boise might be a good candidate.

However, just looking at the discipline of his defense - how may yards has coastal carolina ran? They are forcing them to throw. I think if they are recruiting good athletes and teaching this play recognition it won't matter what they run.

On a side note, I think its time for a trip to myrtle beach.

Just think, NDSU without it's best defensive player, and a MLB at that.

I wouldn't necessarily say the talent is better but they are coached better.

Gotta remember the team they are pushing around is an FCS team that got smacked by South Carolina 70-10.

But, still, at the FCS level, this Fargo team may be the best ever. I wouldn't put them in a BCS bowl game though...

Not sure I agree they beat CSU this year and CSU is bowling so ya I would say this NDUS team could beat a number of bowl teams, Maybe not a BCS bowl team but a lot of bowl teams would be matched or beat by this team.

 

[fromolwyoming]

The beat the sheep last year. This year they beat K-State.

 

[lakesbison]

And there's your DAGGER. 41-14. NDSU TRENDING on twitter all afternoon

I think they would probably take down CSU this year. The depth issues they have being an FCS team makes it much tougher to predict how things would line up.

Much more impressive win over K-State that CSU in their first game with Coach Mac.

I think they could compete with some lesser bowl teams, but not the big dogs. It's still exciting to bring Bohl here to see what he can do with better talent in the FBS.

Actually it was Coach Mac's second game. They beat Colorado the first game.

Correct!

I was wrong.

It does , after all, take a man to admit when they are wrong.

Not THAT bad, you were just mistaken.

Okay, I'll forgive myself.

Wish you had this defense??? At game...NDSU is swarming


Let NDSU into the mountain west!!!

You don't have the money, resources, and pretty sure you don't have the required number of sports either.

NDSU is already D-1. They just do not give out as many football scholarships and they have a playoff system to qualify for. I am not sure the MWC has an elevated requirement for # of sports because we do not clear the minimum for D-1 by much at UW.

FBS has higher standards than FCS that go beyond scholarship count for football. Like the number of scholarship sports. Its FBS that has the requirement for number of sports.

Plus, they were only able to pay their all time winningest coach $400,000 a year after 2 consecutive national titles. Wyoming ponied up over $1 million (that includes incentives, I know, but stil).
