  1. Britta is definitely an outlier.  You get better by playing better competition.  ND has good players but the range of ability varies greatly.

    We live outside of Atlanta and my daughter play for the tier 1 Boys Jr Preds out of Nashville for years.  When we looked to transition her to girls hockey we didn't have a lot of options.  We have family in Bismarck so my wife and daughter moved in order to play high school hockey.  We quickly realized the level of play and getting recruited out of ND would be a challenge.  She is now boarding at a hockey academy outside of Boston.  Recruiting visibility and competition is great where she is now.

    He is the guy who used the word “idiots” … but I suppose you still can’t get over the “fairy” reference. You’ll be okay. Move on. I don’t have to prove myself to you. You’ve had your day (or decades), now slow down and settle down. You’d think you would understand the concept of personal attacks in debates, and Kelly started this one by saying in general there are “idiots” commenting on here, I disagreed, implied we aren’t all actual idiots with my comment, but yet here you are. You took it literally, and you just couldn’t help yourself, could you … 

    This board is full of idiots though.  Truth be told, I think the board probably has a lot of pee wee football coaching legends.

  3. I haven't been to the site in a while and quickly reading through this thread I remember why.  We have a few absolute tools as fans.  

     

    UND can win the game but will need to play a really clean game to have a chance.  I only watched the Jacks first game of the season, but they didn't seem to be as good up front as they typically are.

    I probably have watched a hell of a lot more punting and kicking than you have and interacted with  kickers and punters at not just little league but high school, college and nfl. Maybe your experience is more extensive than mine,  but I never said the punter and kicker are “pretty good”. I said average but my point was somehow with less than stellar punting and kicking, the coach has done pretty well with KO and punt coverage.  Although our punter’s average isn’t good his net average is at least average, maybe a little better. Our kicker doesn’t have a big leg but the other team doesn’t often start beyond the 25 after a kickoff. I don’t know where you think you start after a touchback. Therefore someone has our special teams kids playing pretty well with who we have at punter and kicker. “Olden days”???  I haven’t gained my experience playing Madden FB and watching ESPN. You guys who think the answer is to fire everyone when things aren’t going well are full of crap. If you want someone fired start writing checks but $5000 or $10,000 won’t cut it. Until we have resources to do things faster, we are going to have to be patient. Guys like Kostich need to be supported and develop. He has the potential to be an excellent coach. He has done a good job this year. You haven’t got a clue and frankly some of our “olden times” teams were pretty good. 

    This is partly why I stay off the message board for the most part now.  For many it is a knee jerk fire the coach when they don't have any idea what is going on behind what we are allowed to see.  A few posters tend to have a pretty realistic grasp on what is going on with the program but most seem pretty clueless and are shooting off at the mouth or in this case keyboard.

    UND offensive coaches should be looking at the Oklahoma offense to see how to run from a spread. But that said, every running game starts with the offensive line and this offensive line simply can't run block. It hurts seeing an inside zone play and there's not a single gap to go through. 

    5 guys to block 6 or 7 in short yardage will never work!  That isn't saying they are good but the scheme is flawed from what I saw today. This offense doesn't fit JJ at all!

    Peluso and entire Bismarck staff quit basically citing the climate of overbearing hockey parents, soft kids, and administrators that don't have the backbone to stand up for coaches.

    Very sad.  As a player and as a coach he single handedly put Bismarck hockey on the map.

    I think he is probably doing the right thing, most school administrator's will just give the loudest parents anything they want for them to go away.   This isn't just coaching but often in the classroom as well.

    I would call Texas State barely FBS, just over 10k in attendance for their last game. However, I do understand your point. 

    This is why UND football needs to be more successful. Better chance of taking a low tier FBS type of recruit. 

    If not the FBS level, maybe he liked the weather better! :D

    I think Schuster fits Danny’s mold a lot better than Graetz. Obviously he has things to work on but a redshirt year and probably more will definitely help. I’m excited for the kid!

    I am certainly not a QB expert but the Graetz kid looked like he had a lot of tools but would need to develop.  I think the Schuster kid looks more polished but with a little less to work with from a physical skills standpoint.  I like the addition and my gut tells me he will be a player for UND.

    Overall I'm quite satisfied with the guys we signed today, but disappointed in the QB.   I feel he's going to be a huge work in progress if he works at all.    Would we still have room for a drop down if something should be available?

    It still bugs me that the current regime didn't stay on top of Case to either make sure he signs on the dotted line in December or we have a couple other studs in the wings early enough that we get them.   I think this is one position screw up that is going to continue to bedevil us down the road.    I'd rather have brought in 3 QB's than 3 kickers.   WTF

    He got offered by a FBS school, most kids will jump at that opportunity and UND likely could have done nothing to stop it.

    When have you ever considered anything a success regarding this program? Seriously, you have got to be one of the biggest negative nancies I have ever seen.

    He is our very own...

    pretty sure its not

    I guess unless you worked side by side with the guy I would have to say your information comes 2nd or 3rd hand at a minimum.   I would call that speculation based upon you making a comment without first hand knowledge of the situation.  I do know a lot of people like to speculate on this forum while acting like they have factual information.   So unless you personally worked along side or regularly witness him working for extended periods of time I would call it speculation.  Or we can just call it what it really is which is rumor or gossip.

    Speculation or inside knowledge?

    Pretty sure it's speculation. 

     

    Truly amazing how lazy a poster can be about his own posts.  He didn't even capitalize the first word of his sentence.  Sad for the rest of the members of this forum.

    I really like Kpeayeh’s film. Great suddenness and shake.

    Unless things have changed greatly in the last few years I would be surprised if he would qualify academically.

    Nothing in the last five years make me think i want to have someone else call plays in that offense. Ever talk to Danny? Or anyone that knows him well?  Offense wouldn’t look anything like the same scheme, design, or personnel. I just think he’s capable and deserving of a shot. 

    Yeah, I don't know how good he would be but just because he is a position coach on the same staff doesn't indicate what he would do if given control of the offense.  A lot of coaches would do things differently than coaches they work with but they need to show a united front publicly even if they don't agree with how things are being done.
