Hard to think it’s not NDSU’s championship to lose at this point.

I cannot confirm nor deny that I went ahead and purchased one of these on Ebay. However, I can't wait to get an NFL Tommy card someday, too.

In Great Falls, the card shop had this card and a duo autograph cam miller / Tommy Mellot. It was sweet. About 90 dollar card.

Isn’t this where they decide the BOTW point? Or do they do individual and team separately?
MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

Yes and yes. Cats beat the gris in the team standings and that counts as the brawl point. Sac won the team event. I believe Cats were second but I haven’t seen the final.

I'm going to miss Corso, even though it was long overdue. Wish I would've had the opportunity to hear him speak at the Triangle Classic years ago.

Leach is a national treasure and the fact that he's not in the HOF because his win % is some part of a decimal point to low is absolute poopy crap. Guy coached at Wazzu for petes sake.

Re: Random stuff 2025
I think another thing NDSU has is a track record of multiple guys getting drafted every year. That probably allows them to keep guys despite having bigger NIL deals elsewhere, the promise of making millions after graduation.technoCat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 8:11 amNDSU's system is to have more $ than most of the teams that try to steal their guys.

If we can get two guys drafted this year, I think we're well on our way to having that argument as well.
First and goal, clock winding down. That's Humphrey! It's TOUCHDOWN MONTANA STATE!

And NDSU has another likely first round pick this year in Grey Zabel. I'm sure their draft history helps them keep their offensive linemen given how many of them are NFL starters right now.smith427 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 3:22 pmI think another thing NDSU has is a track record of multiple guys getting drafted every year.

Re: Random stuff 2025
This is an area where MSU is behind NDSU. The fans and media are totally behind the OL players. They’re deified at ndsu. As much as they say they’re lunch bucket, blue collar guys, they want recognition. It’s gotten better but still a ways to go in that area.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 4:18 pmAnd NDSU has another likely first round pick this year in Grey Zabel.

I don’t think any unit has been by the portal at MSU as hard as the OL.
