NDSU loses another starter

[Trapped in California]

Starting CB Brendin Pierre lost to academics. Will redshirt this year, with two more years remaining eligibility.

This comes on top of (distant) #2 RB Mike Sigers also being declared ineligible for academics. (Though the article alludes to is attempt at summer school to regain eligibility). And sometimes starter, and probably #2 QB for next year Jose Mohler leaving team.

Bison recruited a CB from UNO's DII football (RIP) as a replacement. #1 CB is the only player with FCS experience. Sounds like Tampa 2 in Fargo will be giving up a lot of yards this year unless something magic happens. Hope Klieman is enjoying that raise...

Re: NDSU loses another starter

Stuff like this really could start to add up for NDSU. I know most of their fans have very, very high hopes for this year because of their (flukey) playoff run last year. But reality is that they were, for the most part, very mediocre last year and were 1 conference loss away from finishing in 8th place last year.

Re: NDSU loses another starter

how do you redshirt due to academics?

if you sit out due to grades, it counts against one of your 4 years to play.

Re: NDSU loses another starter

The roster lists him as a true junior - has not taken a redshirt yet. He wouldn't be taking a redshirt for academics, just to better develop as a player. NCAA says 4 for 5, right?

perhaps he could sit out due to prison/legal troubles instead. Seems to work for the Hawks.

I didn't realize there were stipulations for why a player could redshirt. I always figured that a player could only utilize their 4 years of eligibility within a 5 year period. but then, I never sat down and read the specific bylaws and whatnot.

no doubt. NDSU's 2010 playoff run was ALMOST as flukey as UNI's 2005 run.
of course, that could mean that NDSU's season this year will be akin to UNI's 2006 season.

UNI was a top 10 ranked team in 2005, was on a very long winning streak heading into the playoffs, and was also the outright conference champion in 2005.

North Dakota State was barely ranked, finished 4-4 in a mediocre conference, lost to a crappy MSU team 3-0 in the last regular season game of the year, and took the absolute final spot in an expanded playoff field.

Yeah, same difference I guess.

As usual, you are wrong.

Re: NDSU loses another starter

Brandon was in the Mechanical Engineering program. Im confused as to how he gets bad grades in that, because you would think you'd be mathematically good enough to get C's... I dunno... Ill have to ask him when I see him next time.

its Sucks yes.

MWILL will hold down #1 DB

Aireal Boyd is JUCO kid from NDSCS solid

UNO CB that was average last year

Arizona star recruit Jordan Champion will also be in the mix.

I'd call that an unimpressive, or flukey regular season by the Bison, but I don't know that I'd consider their playoff run that flukey.

Where as UNI's 2005 playoff run consisted of overcoming a 14-pt 4th quarter deficit against EWU in the first round; a game at UNH that consisted of both teams exchanging 21-0 runs before being decided by a 4th qtr FG; Texas State's inexplicable taking-a-knee to play for OT; and a championship game that was decided by a scoop-and-score. I'd qualify all that as flukey.

but I suppose it's a matter of opinion.


Also, how does a team become the outright conference champion when they are co-champions with two other teams? (SIU and YSU)

There is no "reason giving" for red-shirting. Just that a player is red-shirting for a particular year.

C and D doctors still practice medicine.

Re: NDSU loses another starter

Re: NDSU loses another starter

I don't think you can be a D doctor.

Re: NDSU loses another starter
