The second goal is all on the defense pair of 2 and 4.

At least Hellsten comes in in a low pressure situation, unfortunately. These guys have no Friday night whiskers.

Um ... I hear the winning coach in that game is the new head coach at U Washington. Too soon?

Did someone miss a couple Federal court stays on the vaccine mandates?

"You boys could use a little churching up. Slide on down to the Triple Rock, and catch Rev. Cleophus. You boys listen to what he's got to say."

Wolanin: LA -> BUF -> LA At least he's rackin' up the flyer miles.

Not to my knowledge. And Rod Carey was released by Temple. Former UND and GFC QB Jake Landry was Carey's QB coach at Temple. That's quite the list that has stood on the home side of Alerus Center either coaching or as the QB.

Hey, if I say "Tell me about your offensive line and I'll tell you about your season" one more time @geaux_sioux's head will explode.

I have high expectations and I like what I see. Ziebarth and Smith getting more snaps is not a bad thing at all.

If I can only get one let it be Constantini. His skill set (speed) would be more valuable on the big ice.

I believe that combo might have a shot at making us forget Olivera and Santiago.

UND Football nemeses of the early 2000s: Brian Kelly, then at Grand Valley State, now at Notre Dame, rumored heading to LSU Kalen DeBoer, then at U of Sioux Falls, now at Fresno State, rumored headed to U of Washington

Bubba had some blunders this year in play calling and time (and time out) management. My expectation is those get fixed in 2022. Also, I'd like to see things like false starts and procedural issues dealt with in fall camp long before they show up on the game field.

Today's Phrase of the Day is ... "automatic qualifier". Some use it synonymously with "autobid". In a sentence ... The Northeast League's automatic qualifier was Sacred Heart while Davidson was the autobid from the Pioneer League.

UND opens at Nebraska in the fall. https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/schedule/2022 Nebraska, they won't be coming off giving up 22 unanswered to Iowa to lose 28-21 in their last game, and end at a 3-9 record. No, Nebraska will be coming back from Ireland and a game against Northwestern https://huskers.com/sports/football/schedule/2022

I stand by my prior statement that if UND was hosting an opening round game with UM/UND hockey going on that night they'd have outdrawn either SD school, probably all the playoff list, just with people coming out to "start early" for the hockey game. Remember: You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning. Right @gfhockey?

Ugly?

You post that without the obligatory ..."Jesus saves! ... Parise scores on the rebound!"

When you have a need the portal can be a great solution. See: Hockey, Saturday night, Connor Ford going 19-4 on faceoffs. But as with everything ... caveat emptor.

As a moderator I say the following: @gfNDfanand @gfhockey Stop it.

Can that be turned in to the league for review and supplemental discipline? ... ah, but which league ... < sigh > ...

By expectations do you mean: - what you want to happen, or - what you suspect will actually happen.

But ... OU is headed to the SEC. And Southern Cal is an afterthought in CFB lately.

Seems major front office turnover happening in Montreal.
