UND1992

Wow what a great season so far! So many positive things on both offense and defense. Love our schemes on both sides and we are back to a defense that gets pressure and sends people from everywhere. Getting back to the days when it was questionable if the other teams QB would make it a full game! After watching all 3 games (2 in person) I do have a question for the even more hardcore fans than me. One thing I have noticed is Tommy seems to consitently be a half second late in making his throws, not throwing until well after the WR breaks often time giving the DB time to catch up or ending up to close to the sideline to make a play. Is this something others are seeing and if so does that get fixed with game experience and practice? I assume so? I just worry given he has such great protection many times that those should be easy in rhythm throws that even a young QB should make at the FCS level. Please tell me that comes with experience so I can be as excited about this team as I want to be!

Agree on the wings, beer prices are fair, service is usually good, not a ton of other options.

Wow March 20th is shaping up to potentially be a huge sports day. UND v NDSU football, UND frozen faceoff hockey game, 2nd day of opening round of NCAA men's BB tournament (its starting on Friday this year not Thursday). Better reserve my table at BWW now!

I live 10 or so houses down from where this happened and knew the house was rented by multiple football players but didn't know which players. About 2:00 yesterday afternoon I watched 10 or so cops storm the house to serve the warrant but nobody was home. Obviously they went back later on and found what they were looking for. I suppose drugs were the obvious guess but I worried it may even be worse by the amount of cops looking to serve the warrant l, I guess I don't know what the norm is. So I figured some news was forthcoming today. This season has went from bad to worse. Not sure what else to say.

I will go with 34-13 bad guys. Given Utah's assumed good defense I just think we are going to struggle moving the ball as the past few seasons it seems like it's taken our offensive line and offense in general a while to get warmed up. Our coaches will want to run and stick with the run but I just don't know if there will be room to do so. I think our D will hang tough but is young on the back end and I think we'll give up some big plays. I guess I'm not overly concerned with what the scoreboard says at the end but the things I want out of tonight are 1. no injuries 2. Keaton to look like a senior/consistent with his throws. 3. Tackling and hustling to the ball. 4. Have I mentioned no injuries? I think we'll be fine this year but tonight will be a tall task, lets get out healthy and with a better idea of what we have in a few positions. GO HAWKS!

If memory serves, Cam Kuksa would have been a senior this year, does that sound right? Hard not to think about what could have been with him teamed up with Cole and Co. Congrats to Bubba and all others recognized, building a true team.

Yes I totally agree that we need to play Santiago more in the slot or at wide out. Since Clive went down we've had no deep threat and this would help with that and should spread out the defense more. Plus it would get Santiago in to space as you said since he isn't finding any space from the RB position. He should have some wide out skills correct being he was recruited as such? Plus Brady seems physical enough to handle 20 plus carries. I'd still like to see Santiago get 20 touches but them coming from a combo of places would be nice. Time for the offensive play calling to get a bit more creative.

Interesting schedule this year, after the initial back to back on the road then we alternate home and away each week, with no bye week until the end of the season. Will be interesting to see how that last week ends up with us sitting and watching while most of the rest of the conference is still playing. Hopefully we'll have a playoff spot secured by then and won't have to be too nervous that last week. Will be tough going through the conference season without a bye, but could bode well getting that week of rest prior to playoffs if we have some healing to do.

I think control the game enough on the ground to come out with a win despite the injuries. Lets get loud for this one!! UND--27 ISU--24

Well we showed our youth at times today, but that is to be expected. Still we overcame that and injuries for a nice road win. Next two games should be very winnable and set us up for the tough stretch run. As has been said, really hoping injuries don't derail us, I know every team has them but they really seem to be piling up and for a young team that is a killer.

I'll go with 17-13 good guys with our touchdowns coming on a long run by one of the freshman and the other on a short pass to the tight end.

I never saw LeClair play either, my Sioux football days started about the time Tibesar came in. I don't think Ratelle has done enough yet to be at the top of this list, although he may be the most physically gifted and his legacy could change with more games like last week and some UND victories. Really hard to pick between Tibesar and Digger. I guess I would slightly lean towards Digger as I remember him standing out on special teams the first time I saw him. He was such a good combination of will, athleticism and instincts, but I guess that could be said of all of these guys. But I guess for a full four years I remember Digger making play after play and was a constant his whole career. I'll be interested to hear some of the others who go back even farther debate this. One thing is for sure UND is lucky to have landed all these guys as they most certainly could have all been playing at even higher levels at some point in their careers.
