The Sicatoka

That's probably true for most of the quarterfinalist field.

That and $5 gets you a footlong ham sandwich at a GF Subway if you know the secret phrase*. Sorry, but I'm hoping everyone in a green helmet yesterday is hungrier than that. *Fighting Hawks, or at least that's what the sign along I-29 says on the way to Grand Forks.

You and your fancy cypherin'.

Besides getting bigger on the defensive front, UND needs a couple players like (using examples I saw yesterday) ... the third string JMU RB the number two WR from SIU Note I'm not looking for even the top guys from other programs, which tells me UND is close.

A pure power dive back would've been useful yesterday.

You're not looking for a different QB; you're looking for a different offense.

Karma.

Heavier defensive front. A back like James J would've been invaluable yesterday.

The defensive front needs to get a touch bigger and a back like James J would've been invaluable yesterday. (SDSU's small back is bigger than our big.)

NDSU did not score a touchdown on offense in the quarterfinal v. SHSU.

Sabres ... dulled. Devils ... exorcised Blue Jackets ... given to Goodwill Red Wings ... clipped Ducks ... plucked Flyers ... forgot their masks and vaccination cards and not allowed to board the aircraft Senators ... censured.

Sunday May 2 will be a four D day.

The better question: Why is it 3rd and 9? 3rd and 4 is manageable; 3rd and 9 is not.

This is premature. The Flames have not been eliminated ... yet.

Win or lose, one or more will be complaining about something that happened in the game.

Pure speculation by me ... 2021-22: Driscoll (sr), Hellsten (fr), Feeney (jr) 2022-23: Hellsten(so), Feeney (sr), Johnson (fr) 2023-24: Hellsten (jr), Johnson (so), Hedquist (fr) ... but to your point it could well become ... 2021-22: Driscoll (sr), Hellsten (fr), Feeney (jr) 2022-23: Hellsten(so), Feeney (sr), Hedquist (fr) I'm guessing a lot is how Johnson and Hedquist develop in 2021-22.

... best of the lousiest, lousiest of the best ...
