You get NDSU 2021. I get my choice of Wentz or Stick teams. I'll give you 6.5 points. I'll win.

That's the specific time you need to remind a guy. (Remember: I'm the guy that preaches fundamentals. --> Make your free throws. Lay down a bunt. Wrap-up tackle. Lift a backhand top corner from 12 feet.)

That's where I wish I knew he'd been told it's OK to eat it and take the FG before the play. Get the FG there and now the other team is playing from behind in the fourth.

Given Bismarck State College* doesn't sponsor hockey ... um, ... no. Clearly the intent was UMary. *BJC no longer exists. BJC became BSC about the same time VCSC became VCSU.

Going for it at your 20. <-- Coaching call. The pick. <-- Yeah, Tommy threw it, but was he told before the play to eat it or throw it away if he had to? Coaching. The other 4th down play. <-- Play selection. You have an All-American back. Coaching. The unrecovered muffed punt. <-- That's on the players, but how was that not receiver interference when we blocked a Bison into their PR?

I do believe you mean the U Mary Marauders.

On defense, clearly, 2 and 6 are going to be works in progress. Both have the vibe 4 gave me at the start of last year. You see the ability, but not the game smarts yet. (2 had a not great +/- when he was at RPI. I can see why with a couple plays he tried.) 33 is as advertised, ... but we don't have to keep proving it by sending clean breakaways at him. Good grief.

I didn't see that. I wondered why 25 was out for the last 0:33 of the game with 26. <-- That's two lefties and you normally want a L/R combo in that situation.

@Sweethockeycan you clarify your source? It's not Google because this does not agree with what you posted. https://www.google.com/search?q=tennessee+covid+dashboard&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS929US929&oq=tennessee+covid+dash&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i512l4j0i22i30l3j0i390.5231j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 State of TN official site: https://www.tn.gov/health/cedep/ncov/data.html (check the "EPI curves" for most relevant info).

I'm going back to my old standby assessment*: Getter/Setter/Shooter No single person is 100% of any of these, but when you put a line together you need 100% of each skill set. *Just like in FB threads where I revert back to OL play or controlling the opponent's OL.

If I had to guess, in a word: Staffing.

Like I said earlier ... All the problems last time were predicated on NDSU's run game which is predicated on their OL play. But as I've also said, NDSU doesn't do anything exceptional, but what they do they do exceptionally well. That's the standard to meet or exceed for the UND front seven.

Look at 0:43 mark of this. When did 15 get dangle like that?

How did they get Combs and Church two weeks apart?

Welcome to the 2021-22 Edition of the All UND-in-the-NHL Team. To be eligible to be listed the player must have appeared* in one NHL game during the 2021-22 season and have played college hockey (on the ice for official NCAA game) for the University of North Dakota. NHL Opening Night is Tuesday October 12. The roster filling commences then. *Goaltenders get special dispensation: If they dress and sit on the NHL bench as the backup for a game it counts.

Honestly, I'd see Jamernik playing center and Senden on the wing. That's how it was down the stretch last season.

The Sleeper Line ... it ends with Zs ...

No, no, ... "put in a Central line ... STAT!" ...

I'm not anti-vax. I'm up to date on every vax that's been through full (as in five year) trials. I'm anti-mandate. I prefer legislated requirements.

You think this is about a shot and a hockey game. First they took the blackhawk logo off the jersey; then they threatened no tournament games; then there was no nickname at all. Now, Go Fighting Hawks. First you have to submit to a body scan/search to board a plane; then bank transactions over $9k* must be reported to the authorities by banks; now it's produce your normally confidential medical papers to go to an event. Next will be ... Things happen incrementally. *No, it's not $10k. Bad news, eh, gfhockey?

The concern is medical privacy. Why don't I have to show my MMR vaccination? Tetanus? Prove I've had chicken pox, or the shingles vax? And prove it, as someone said, to a $10 per hour guy in a yellow slicker windbreaker (who's had seven minutes of training). If we're going against personal privacy and confidentiality ... What next? Prove I've been to confession in the last week with a "sin no more" passport?

No Neil Eisenhut?

Like I pointed out when the Bridgestone hoops started coming, they barely gave a window for a four-week full vax regimen.

I know a guy who says the worst words in the language are not four-letter, but three-letter. Words like: ... yet ... ... but ... ... for now ...

This game will be determined by ... - What did UND learn in the prior encounter and how will they improve from that - Control of the line of scrimmage, specifically the UND D v. NDSU OL
