Any chance we could get Schleussner back? Look at what he’s been doing at SDSU of late.

Historically, low minutes, few games sophomores do not return for junior seasons.

Ask in three to five years.

At least Freund saw an offense that could be dynamic under Mussman. Now we’ll see what he learned and if Bubba will take the handcuffs off the offense.

No it’s not a simple answer. Fix the offensive line. Do everything that takes. What’s that entail? Coaching. Scheme. Strength. Conditioning. That touches everything I see that isn’t working. And it builds the most important part of a football team.

I’ll only comment on one: 33 looked overstocked on his frame. His mass seemed burdensome when he was running. That’s strictly by the eye test. That said, I stand by my previous comment: nothing matters until the offensive line is dominant.

I’ve heard it as ... couldn’t score with a $20 bill in a $2 whore house.

Go back and look at the main camera shot one second after 22 scores the GWG: seven players in the image, but only one of them is in a white jersey. UND must’ve been in a line change. And UAA, they’re not so good.

Nobody paying attention today?

No. Offensive line. Until that’s dominant nothing else matters.

I get ya, but I just don’t see UVA or UNC leaving the ACC.

So has the “blow big leads in the fourth” curse migrated from Bubba to Brew?

Meh, you were before.

One of our committed recruits has a sibling that is playing HS varsity as a sophomore. Worth keeping an eye on ...

Somewhere PT Barnum smiles.

Linky or it never happened.

But you've read a bunch of them here long before that statement.

And now it's dead. Why? Someone just admitted it's a human in a headdress. <-- Fails the NCAA test Boom. Done.

That was a pretty cheesy response.

I assume you're referencing the Grand Forks Yankees* because directed profanity would be doubly wrong (profanity, attack). *What do they play?

To everyone reading: Stealing an overworked phrase, if you see something say something. I intend that to mean if you believe it's wrong, not to forum standards, don't be afraid to challenge it yourself in the forums. You don't have to just report to the moderators. That said, all the moderators see all the reports. Lately we've had a rash of reports by "Guest". If you're a guest and that concerned please join the forums and follow the above advice. Having said that, reporting as Guest is taken, admittedly, very lightly by me (can't speak for others) because it's easy to log out, appear as "Guest", and weaponize the reporting system. If you're really that concerned become a member and follow the above advice: help create the conduct you'd like to participate in by challenging things that don't meet the standards. We can't be everywhere all the time. The moderation team has also been accused of having a double standard. I'll say plainly: Yes we do. We have the written one; we have the one we actually enforce. If folks would like I, we, could start hard-enforcing the standards to the letter. To. The. Letter. And then this forum would have @jimdahl as the only one left in under six months. Historically, we try to give quiet (personal message) warnings; suspensions from us are a last resort. And frankly, it takes a lot, a significant and repeated pattern of behavior to achieve suspension. Sometime we'll post in a thread directly, kind of like what we ask of all members when they see something not up to snuff. We can change that soft-handed approach if you'd like. Not a threat, just simple reality. But we'd rather have a group that self-maintains a set of mores and a code of conduct. Remember: this is a private forum; I just help the owner with moderation and some admin stuff. He doesn't have to allow anyone anything here; this isn't a "First Amendment thing" because this is a private non-governmental forum. Put another way: he can set rules and enforce them as he chooses. His sandbox, his toys, his rules. The moderation team is following the owner's framework for how he's expressed he'd like the forum to run. But as stated above, you can influence it by participating beyond an anonymous Guest report. Final Thought: The above was written by me and me alone. The board owner may suspend me for it if he disagrees. That's his prerogative. See "private forum" above. Signed, The Sicatoka PS - When you report as "Guest" we still log the IP address the report came from just like every other interaction with the board.

Everyone throttle back the personal attacks. Thank you.

Where are my bonus points for correct usage of "whom" in the response?

So, Tex, do I bench everyone that makes such attacks? Ponder your answer before responding. Or are you asking for a double standard that applies to everyone not you.

Loose it on whom? Just make sure you recover it afterwards; we'd hate you to lose it. < Mensa meeting gavel pounding sound here >
