    2016 Fall Camp

    Hold the presses!

    I got a late Friday e-mail from the UND Sports Information Office that says only qualified grammarians with the ability to string together at least a couple of sentences will be allowed unfettered access to UND fall camp football practices from now on, and will henceforth be subject to a series of new guidelines.

    The new guidelines, though, never mentioning Teeder11 by name, are clearly directed at me. And I am not the least bit amused by it. 

    I have a hunch that that "the new guy" at Midco might have something to do with this. "Sir, Mr. Bigtime Boston, you're no Pat Sweeney, and The Stache would be appalled at this policy."  

    Wanna-be media types will still be allowed unencumbered access to all other UND athletic programs and personnel, except men's hockey, in which they will have to submit a hand-written (in blood) request for access to God Almighty, but it first must clear a committee comprising Brad Schlossman and Virg Foss.

    I understand protecting the brand but c'mon UND, really?

    The guidelines stipulate that:

    1. Wanna-be media types must view all fall camp practices from behind the iron gates of Memorial Stadium, or in the event of inclement weather, they must smash their nose up against the glass from outside the High Performance Center.

    2. No tweets more than three words will be allowed, and all tweets must start with the word "leave" and end with the word "doubt."

    3. All one-on-one interaction and interviews will be limited to Travis the equipment guy and Kauker.

    4. Wanna-be media must provide coffee and doughnuts to UND football SID and all other "real" media who are present at all fall camp practices. On two-a-days, Dilly bars and sodas will be the afternoon treat du jour.

    5. Any and all practice reports must first be cleared by the football SID, signed off by the overall SID, stamped with approval by the AD and reviewed by UND President Mark Kennedy before submission to the public can occur -- and only after a 10-day cooling off period. This provision will be null and void if wanna-be media guy neglects his coffee-and-doughnuts duties (Refer back to Guideline 4).

    That's it. 

    I am told that this kind of treatment of wanna-be media types is "nothing out of the ordinary" and that "most schools are doing this."

    Well, as bad as all this sounds... I better get with the program or face the prospects of having my wanna-be media credential denied.

    And we wouldn't want that would we? ;)

    Teeder, what's the link to your GoFundMe account for this service??  LOL

    Looking at these just reaffirms to me that we should use the number on one side of the helmet. No because the logo looks bad, it actually looks fairly sharp on the helmets; but it does bother me to see the bird facing the back of the helmet. probably just my OCD. :)

    Hearing the fans of a number on one side will be happy

    They look alright.  They'd look better if they weren't made by Adidas.  Outside of soccer/Europe they're widely thought of as the bottom dweller of the major apparel companies.

    At least it's not Russell...

    Not good news.  However,  I have mentioned my man crush on Torrey hunt and truly believe he has all American potential.  Und will be better served working with a talented freshman that has 4 more years over some 1 and done that obviously did not want to be here.  

    Not quite sure how he'd feel about that! LOL!!:)

    Spring Football 2016

    1. Day 2 of Spring practice started early for me as I checked out the kickers. The good news, I think, is that it appears Taubenheim's leg has strengthened a lot from last year's injury-recovery season that saw him struggle to kick the ball deep. From the 35 yard line, Taubs was consistently booting the ball 70-75 yards well inside the five and most times into the end zone. Because of last year's issues, Meindel tended to be the better deep ball kicking option but, as we know, he's gone. MacGregor's kicks were not quite as long as Taubs this morning. He mostly put his ball inside the 5-yard line. Holmen long snapped and newcomer punter Jacob Meeks #97 held the ball on FG work. Meeks did not punt at all again this morning.

    2.  Torrey Hunt, Josh Seibel, Santiago, Clive, Iwarri and Vashon Tucker all took time on Kick return duties today.  An audible "ooooh" from the well-attended peanut gallery on the HPC catwalk could be heard this morning on one of Santiago's returns during 3 on 1 special team drills. Santiago juked through the three converging KR coverage players and burst through and up the sideline. The only thing missing was Pat Sweeney announcing "So long, Santiago!"  His burst and speed were incredible.

    3. WR Dulin appears to have developed some really good speed compared to last year, or at least I didn't notice it as much last year. The question is does he have the hands to match?

    4. During skelly drills, Deon Harris got a pick on a tipped ill-advised pass. Harris made a nice athletic play to get to the deflected ball and snag it before it hit the turf.

    5. From the safety spot, Flowers got a pick of his own off Heidelbaugh and took it for six. Flowers made a nice break on the ball and took it.

    6. Runner up for catch of the day goes to Stetson Carr #87. Carr made a beautiful one handed snag while tight roping the sideline. Looked like he got a toe in with possession but I am sure the BSC officiating would have somehow disagreed with my assessment in a game situation.

    7. Catch of the day goes to Santiago out of the backfield. The speedster tailback shot up and around the left end and burst 20 yards before summoning his inner Kenny Golloday and showing surprising vertical to snatch a sailing pass out of the air. Santiago had no business making that catch.  It was truly a great grab but the QBs should think twice before putting the valuable Santiago in that kind of vulnerable position to get laid out.

    8. As far as I can tell, Daquan Baker is lining up with the DLs and Jawon Johnson is with the LBs.

    9. Mollberg did pretty well today at the TE position, though, Francis and Matthewson look to be fighting for the two deep at that spot this spring. 

    10. During 11-on-11 drills, Studsrud took most of his snaps under Aplin with Stockwell and Cox anchoring the ends and Bell and Taylor at the guard spots.

      

    Really appreciate the updates/info!!!

    2016 UND Recruiting

    Just started following him yesterday.  Before signing with Navy out of high school, had offers from Southern Illinois, Florida A&M, Tennessee Tech and Presbyterian.

    When they sign with an academy and go to their prep school, I don't believe their NCAA clock starts ticking, so he should be able to redshirt if needed.

    Correct. Full eligibility remaining.

    Happy to see a Great Fan Base up there for UND!
