He didn't have the same look as Kupp.
Well, maybe not, but he gifted Villanova a national championship with his skills,,,, he was spectacular in 2009
No doubt a great player.

Re: IS FCS FOOTBALL DYING?

Watching Kupp against NDSU, I thought he would be a good NFL player. He lined up at several positions during the game and I just hoped NDSU could stop him whenever EWU ran a play. Watson was hard to stop, and Bryce Lance could be the next one. David Johnson was another from UNI. Remember Matt Szchu...

Re: IS FCS FOOTBALL DYING?

You didn’t think a 6’2 WR that won the Jerry Rice award, Walter Payton Award, won back to back Big Sky Offensive POY awards and was a 4x First-team FCS All-American would be an NFL talent? I knew he was super talented. I remember watching him in one game at E Washington and he jumped out No I wasn’...

Re: Games of the XXV Winter Olympiad, MilanoCortina, ITA

Congrats to the women that won 2/3 of the gold medals!!!

MAC is not a good fit for NDSU. The MWC is a better fit with the schools in the MWC. Why isn't the MAC a good fit for NDSU step up your game the school needs to get behind them and offer obvious support. For a start 1 NDSU doesn't desire to play on Tuesday and Wednesday, lowering attendence. 2. Bet...

Really nothing to discuss. Reckless behavior in a high tension area with a conceal carry. The investigation will determine everything else. 1.
