I guess I don't follow much of any of this. Mary had back-to-back 1-10 seasons. Woof.
I'm interested to see how the Hawks do. Bubba's been good for that program.

Aldrich is 2-8 at Minot State, but they are a few scores away from being 4-6 right now or 5-5. I think they are on the right path.
U of Mary is 1-9 and getting blown out, again. About to finish 1-10, again. I will assume that Kotelnicki will be moving on after the season.
Jamestown is going to finish with 3 wins, bringing Kittell's total to 5 in two years. It will be hard to improve on that in the new conference. But I think he will bring things together.
The team that surprises me is UND. They have NFL talent on the roster and I thought for sure they would be in the post season.
Every other school is right where I thought they would be.
Any other thoughts on the ND college football season?
Mayville will finish 0-11, but it's not unrealistic to say they could have ended with a 3-8 record. Their second loss of the year was to the current #16 team in NAIA, and that was by 4 points. Something like 60 players didn't return from last year, so yes, this is a rebuilding season.

Flip wrote:I wonder how Mary and Minot feel about moving to D2. As far as FB goes Mary was always good in FB at the NAIA level and now they win 1 game a year. I also wonder how Jamestown feels about going to a new conference (which makes no sense to me). What happened to their FB team? They used to always be decent.
Sportsrube wrote:Moving up for Minot State and the University of Mary was strictly an ego thing. Neither of them were tearing up the NAIA with any of their sports teams, Mary had a decent run with Women's basketball but that was it. As an alum of Minot State I can honestly say I have become a casual follower of their sports programs simply because they are not competitive at the D2 level. The old DAC was a competitive and fun conference with Minot, Mary, Dickinson, Jamestown, Valley, Mayville and a SD school or two and that's where Minot and U of Mary should have stayed in my opinion. Minot State's men's basketball team used to be full of Class B and Class A kids from ND who were competitive at the NAIA level and the Dome would have great crowds for every home game (under Coach Limke in the 1980's) but now they don't draw very well at all except for a few "big" games every year. Going back to NAIA would benefit every sports program at Minot State and U of Mary, again, just my opinion.

Northland CTC (MN)
Dakota College at Bottineau (ND)

It's crazy for two reasons.
- North Star won't allow it.
- It'd be a big hit to on-campus enrollment numbers.
