    UND at SUU

    Honestly, when I saw the box score I saw how UND had been winning games earlier this year, except it was SUU doing it:

     

    - lose time of possession

    - win field position game

    - lose offensive stats comparison

    From the box score this game looks like UND won by a TD+, anyone who watched the game explain how the score was lopsided like it was? 

     

    One team worked on a short field far too often. (The other team got spooked by the breeze.)

    So we're damaged at QB.

     

    With our high-power pass...

    The ground and pound rush...

    It's time for the hogs to overpow... 

     

    Nevermind. 

     

    Pass the aspirin ... away. Send the Jack over here instead. And the Smirnoff too.

    "Will probably get an update at presser later today but hearing QB Ryan Bartels may have also gotten dinged up on Saturday."

    The real question is, do we rename REA to 'Dean Blais Arena' before or after he accepts the job as replacement?

     

    Put the order for the sign in now. We'll worry about installation later.

    If he's out for the season, I wonder if he would apply for a medical waiver and come for a 5th year? 

    I know it's early, but who knows.

     

    He wouldn't have to "apply". You have five academic years to complete four seasons of competition. He never redshirted so his "academic years" clock is on four.

     

    A season "counts" if you play in more than 30% of scheduled games or if you play in any game in the second half of the season. (Mark's used three "seasons of competition".)

     

    Given that MarkMac played in six games (5 plus exhibition) so far, and that there are more than 30 games on the schedule this isn't a "season of competition" for him yet.

     

    Would he want to come back? Would he need to (would Habs want him to) to make sure he's healed?

     

    But we are way ahead of ourselves on this.

     

    Let's see where he's at when he's cleared by his doctors. Given that they did surgery right away, I suspect he has some significant OT/PT to get through.

    Estimates, 4 weeks post surgery to walk, 4-6 months to return to regualr activity.

     

    My best guess given that timeline: He might be able to do walk throughs in spring ball. (Face it, it's November.) 

     

    Given the state of PT/OT and rehab and technology, I'd rather have to deal with a knee than an Achilles. :(

    Looking at bios (yeah, yeah, but that's all there is) I'd say Idowu would be the option. Why?

     

    I don't want to give up the best DB (Tillman).

    Harris is a freshman. I'm not sure that's a good thing to do to a freshman. 

    I don't see that Ivery played QB in HS (Garland TX). 

     

    And

    Idowu is a chemical engineering major --> he's probably well suited to quickly picking up an offense (no disrespect intended to the others).

    OK, ugly question to follow but I'll ask it anyway.

     

    I'll set it up first with, we already have a RB (who played FB in HS) who was a LB here but converted back to offense. 

     

    We're down to Bartles, Hanson, and Studsrud.

    If Hanson's not good enough for a game we shouldn't be calling him a QB and giving him QB reps in practice. 

    I do not want to pull a red shirt with four weeks left, so no, Studsrud is out of the picture until spring ball in my mind.  

     

    Is there someone else on the roster who played QB in HS who could run a few snaps. (Normally one of the safeties or WRs played QB in HS.)

    I hate to say it, but I was kind of expecting this game.

    Every work in progress has set-backs along the way. This was one of them.

    So, the team can curl up in the corner with a nookie-blankie and feel sorry for itself or it can learn from the mistakes of this week and move forward.

    Day by day.

    Measure 5

    Measure 5 would commit at least $300 million per biennium (aka $150 million per year). Let's say ND land is an average of $2350/acre in North Dakota (maybe high for SW ND ranch-only land, low for beet dirt in the RRV). At $2350/acre a section is about $1.5 million. That's 100 sections of land a year ==> a 10 mile by 10 mile square every year. That's crazy. 

     

    Another way to look at it:

     

    Both the ND Farmers Union (very Democrat) and ND Farm Bureau (very Republican) oppose it. If you can make those two groups agree on something, you're messed up. ;):D
