What happened at the meeting? Any tough questions? Any interesting answers?

They had a great big tent for their tailgate. It's not far from our spots and I could see they drew a nice crowd. They could not consume more beers than our group.

Has Chaves fired any coach since he's been here? Was Brew fired??

Here's a question: Why would a ND boy like Hagen go to SDSU? Money? Title?

In today's football world, there's a lot of abandonment going on. Danny was named Associate Coach a year ago. Unless the title is completely meaningless, most thought he was the heir to Bubba. He left when it became apparent that the heir wouldn't be taking over for quite awhile. I highly disagree with the notion that the O was as bad as the D. Did you see the playoff game? The D had 2 stops all day. I met the OC and he seems like a good guy and from what I read from Tom Miller he may have a more intense style that is needed at UND. Whatever happens this year, the one who needs to take responsibility if things go bad is the AD as Irish pointed out above.

When I talked to the OC in February he mentioned Hagen as a starting G and Borud was in the mic at C

Now can someone put a list of the replacements for all of the transfers? To see it in writing makes the OL situation look really disconcerting.

I’m having a hard time thinking Bo was under utilized. If he was it’s due to every D watching him.

Hoping he wants a business degree.

There's lots of great coaches who have seen their players leave for the money. I highly doubt Saban retires if NIL was not the way it is. I thought it was to allow the player to get some money for HIS jersey that got sold and for which he got nothing (except a free college scholarship). It's just paying guys now even before they get a jersey.

Why not?

Certainly it will end up being P5 for the biggest TV contracts and the top players. Still room for the others. It will come down to players being unionized, guaranteed contracts, but contracts that make them stick to the team that signed them at least for some duration of time, There's a pile of TV money for P5. Not sure how much for the rest.

Alas, as with all things in life, Cyndy Lauper was right: Money changes everything

Borud gone too

I think you’re right

I was one who wanted Hak out. I still believe that had he stayed on as coach there would not have been a Natty. Call it bad luck, a hot goalie, but something ALWAYS got in the way of a Title.

Got a new big guy Montre Samuels Parker 6’0. 270 DL

An article at the Athletic last week described the drive for the top 70 teams in one class with the next 60 in a lower level with the best of them able to move up like in Euro soccer relegation. All players would be in a union and get paid. Not sure where all the money comes from but the SEC, Big 10 and other conferences refuse to join the talks. Mainly due to the monstrous TV contracts they have now. But, all of them seem to recognize they can not keep up the money race and something has to give.

I’m a big fan of Hunt. Hoping he gets more touches.

Demers like Schiller are State Champs and will always compete. Great to get her here

A bunch of offers today. Twitter has all of them.

Great culture at Mayville

If you're recounting bad playoff games, last year's Defensive play has to be considered.

Disagree, but thats OK.
