sioux24/7 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Improving the experience all starts with tailgating. I'm not sure how the athletic department can necessarily improve that but I believe that's where it needs to begin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 There was a time about 10-12 years ago that the FU fans were envious of UND tailgating. Time to make that happen again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how the athletic department can necessarily improve that but I believe that's where it needs to begin. They can start by not having assigned spots in the tailgating zone... Tailgating was MUCH better when you had a spot in the space... Just not assigned spaces... It would promote people coming early to get a good spot and also enhance camaraderie when it is cold outside and there is limited numbers of people there tailgating... I have always thought it was ridiculous when you have people all spread out... The second thing they could do is include the students... Allow them to come into the same spaces as everyone else... Excluding them from the fun etc. and it makes them not want to be there as much. Just my .02... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux94 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Is it safe to say that our group of RB's for 2017 is the best group of RB's we've ever had on one team? I feel pretty darn good when any of them are in the game. Gordon as the #4 could have been a starter on many of our teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think Nevermann would be in that group too if he didn't change to LB. We didn't get to see much of Nevermann but he did look good from what we saw.....so would have been 5 legit starters. It's too bad he got hurt last year, he could have gotten some reps and RB and even if he switched to LB this year I'm sure he would have enjoyed getting some reps at RB. Even though he really wanted to play RB, his potential to see the field so much more at LB will hopefully get him excited about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in our massive fullback Norberg as he has show that he can carry the ball well and a more experienced OL and I am excited for the opener in Utah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Fair to say the talent is absolutely there at the RB position. These guys know what to do, so the only thing the coaches need to preach, over and over and over is BALL SECURITY!!! Even a great group of RBs can be a problem without ball security. Doesn't do much good to go 90 yards and fumble in the red zone or end zone. We have seen some of these issues from time to time over the past 2 years, so I'll hope that with more experience and coaching it won't be a major factor this year.

With Grady back I am looking forward to the Utah game even more. I was pretty worried about our OL in the first game to be honest. Yes we were returning guys who would have a year more experience, but we had also lost Coe who was a very very good lineman and i think the loss of Coe verses the additional experience of the other guys would have maybe netted to a wash at the OL for 2017. With Grady back I think the OL has the ability to take the next step. Although Grady may be a little rusty his first game or two, but even so I think he'll help us get a better push than we would have gotten and open up some holes against Utah. The last 3 years the OL has struggled the first few games, however they did well against Wyoming.....hopefully there is a repeat against Utah!

We won't be the favorites, and we won't get much respect, but if this team is serious about starting to contend for a Nat'l Championship, then they need to be able to go out there and compete. Not saying that if we lose its a lost season, that would be ridiculous, but we have to compete and play like we belong. This should be UND's deepest and most talented team yet. An upset here is certainly plausible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon kind of seemed like a mini secret weapon, the other teams so focused on Santiago and Brady that when Gordon gets in the game he got some really good yards......almost like the defense wasn't expecting it. So many offensive weapons this year, will be interesting to see how Rudy tries to take advantage of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
