I know other schools will lose guys too, we are not alone. Still sucks though. A good OL guy is probably the worst to lose, but a good OL probably has the most opportunities in the portal as every school is always looking for another good OL player.

Hopefully we'll see Matt on the field some this fall.

Crap....here we go... hopefully not too many.

Most of us do understand that things do take some time, but they don't always have to take an eternity. Weber State was the doormat of the Big Sky when Jay Hill took over. In his 4th season he won the Big Sky, well tied for 1st, and made the quarterfinals that year. They won or tied for Big Sky the next three years after that and made it to the semi finals in his 6th year. His first year when he took over a crap team they were not very good but Weber came into the Alerus and beat us. That and the continued horrible road record and so often not showing up in big games or playoff games, and not being able to decide when to go for 2 or not are basic, but still having blunders after 10 years........is the reason why many are not happy about an extension.

Thanks, not sure why I thought it was last weekend.

Wasn't the spring wrap up on Friday, any revelations or news from that?

Yes it would make a difference IMO. But all of the resources in the world wouldn't have prevented the dumb fake punt against NDSU or poor two point conversion choices. Or the ability to get your team up for games. We crushed NDSU at home, so we just have some talent....but we were flat the rest of the year.

Oh I totally get it....that's why I said I agree with what he said, how you finish the season is the only thing that really matters. But can you honestly even fathom the thought of UND football bring ranked #1 at any point during the season. I can't.

Yep. Although UND football would sure love to even just be ranked the #1 team in the country at some point during the season. Football team hasn't even sniffed that in two decades.

I am too, not only the new wrinkles but also to see the impact of having a different QB. You would think the QB battle would be some that everyone would be talking about right now, but haven't heard much of anything. I did see Miller had an article not too long ago but I was unable to read it. I had an online subscription last fall so I could read the football articles, but then cancelled it in January. Which even before without a subscription I could read one or two periodically but now I can't read any without paying for subscriptions. So not being able to read any articles probably makes me feel more out of the loop, but has also been little to no discussion on here. Think I saw the spring wrap up thing is today?

This has got to be as dead on here as it's ever been during spring ball

I guess his son is their DL coach.....which obviously has a lot to do with it.

Pretty impressive get for the Griz

After firing Mussman, yes the initial goal was to be competitive, which Bubba has done that. But we really have taken very few strides since 2016. Our playoff games have been for the most part pretty embarrassing. I felt embarrassed during the first half of that Weber State playoff game. Score ended up being a lot closer than the game really was. Got steam rolled by Nicholls.........yes Nicholls State. Embarrassing.

I apologize in advance if I become a pessimistic dick at times over the next four years. Come game time I'll still be rooting hard, but if things go south it's going to be hard to stay positive.....at all.
