Do we think there's any chance Quincy starts seeing a bigger role? I'm not saying the offensive struggles are all on Tommy, but his inability to make anything happen if his #1 target isn't open is concerning to say the least. I'm also convinced that this offense is playing as bad as they possible can. Football 101, sell sabotaging mistakes. Regardless, UND has lost their last two games by 6 and 7 points with an offense that has scored one TD each game. Would a Quincy lead team be doing worse? It's a fair question.

Berry and his staff have quietly put together one impressive commitment group. 15 strong right now, I don't see a lot of fat on that list. Objectively, there would only be a handful of programs that you would "trade" with. I'll start compiling stats in a few weeks as I like to see a bigger body of work, but some very good starts early for this group.

You can buy just for October though, correct? You aren't locked into a year are you? I would be interested in splitting for the month with others.
-
I would take it. Niagara was a must sweep. Although not at that level, looking at the non-conference schedule, splits could be on the horizon (and be solid results) for a few of those weekends. I would take a win and a tie, two wins would go such a long ways and almost give yourself a little breathing room non-conference. Start fast on Friday.

No words. Best if I log off for the day.

Speaking of Special Teams, Peterson has been solid this Fall, no? Up until this point in his career I've always felt UND had no matter who they were playing the worse punter, but so far this Fall I've been pretty impressed. Just me or have others seen a real improvement in Peterson?

Hit the reset, good vibes. A must win too. Hawks 27 Yotes 20

I'm definitely going to have the spot light on the OLB group. 3 of the 8 "5th year" guys were OLB's. We're going to get a lot more playing time for the next round of guys than was anticipated at the beginning of the year.

Just listened to Bubba's press conference. Navratil / Burian appear to be the two out of the NDSU game that are potentially more than bumps and bruises, but they don't know the time tables yet.

2021 Game Day - NDSU vs UND at Alerus Center
AJS replied to BarnWinterSportsEngelstad's topic in Football
Joining the MVFC completely, I don't think playing NDSU in 2015 and 2019 was smart at all. Considering the outcomes, it's tough to spin how that helped the program over not playing at all. I'm thinking more recruiting, regional prominence (not the word I'm looking for) angle. -
15/13 in the Polls. As of now, they are still in ok position. Need to win this one. I'm excited, I don't really know what to expect. How are injuries on the defensive side of the ball? Can they carry over that performance against NDSU? This defense is capable of keeping them in the rest of the games almost single-handily. Offense is a work in progress. What gives me hope is I don't think they are playing very close to their ceiling right now.

Re-listened to the Jack Michaels Show interview with Kolpack and Tom Miller. It was sort of almost depressing listening to Miller if you are like me and think UND has a shot in this game. The two big things that stuck out of it from Miller was talking about the anticipation in GF. There's anticipation, but he thinks there would be more if the general thought was that the Bison were there for the taking. Second, was talking rivalry and saying that he doesn't think UND is there yet to challenge. Just one persons opinion, maybe I took it wrong, but did not get the feeling that he thought this one could go UND's way.

2021-22 University of North Dakota Hockey Season
AJS replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
2pm Kickoff 6:07 Puck drop Pretty solid scheduling from my point of view. About an Hour in-between games. -
Answerable question that I don't know. When did Morrison get injured in the Fall game against NDSU? Am I just completely off base here. This Fall version of UND's D-Line (anchored in the middle by a healthy Morrison / Beach) is night and day better than the one that was down to just Lickfeldt for a portion of the game, right? I've never heard this brought up once by the media. Maybe it's not as important as I think. The sentiment that I feel I'm hearing this week is this Fall is a better version of NDSU (which I agree) and maybe potentially slight worse version of UND (see Interior O-Line). That's kind of everywhere but here. It's just excuses (i.e. see NG position that game), but watching those two teams play every game that Spring, I'm 100% convinced they weren't as far apart as the score indicated. I guess we'll see Saturday. I really don't know what to expect.

Brindley to Michigan. This is absurd. Nothing but 5 star guys.

Unless you have a sponsor to print T-shirts and place them on ever seat, don't even try. It'll end up looking really dumb otherwise.
-
Two realistic, specific keys. First Drives. UND: Get a first down or two. Settle in, points are not necessary. Don't go 3 and out. NDSU: Don't let them score a TD. NDSU / JMU games last Spring, not that. Limit NDSU to one or less big plays (50+ yards). Weird one being ok with conceding one. Keep it to only one and that'll be big.

I wonder if Berry even tries to recruit Minnesota anymore or since he’ll never beat Motzko / Sandelin in any battles he just put a big X through that state.
-
Along the same lines as my thought process with Canady. Each week should be better than the previous week. Same goes with the O-Line. Only 1 player (Waletzko) had started at that position for UND at the beginning of the season. They probably won't be there yet, Week 4, but they should be much improved over Week 1/2.
-
I'm kind of shocked how few tickets are on the re-sale market, at least through the verified Ticketmaster process.
-
I'll say at worst 75/25, but more likely in the 80/20 to 85/15. What % would season ticket holders / students account for? I got tickets right away with the CC and there weren't that many tickets available. My guess will be 85/15.

Starting to back track on this. I still can't picture UND winning, but I do think it'll be competitive. For me there are two big factors. Alerus Center. Legitimate home field advantage. Would it be accurate to call it a 10 to 14 point swing from if this game was at the Fargo Dome? Both places give the home team a TD advantage. UND's Defense. I think they're good. Yes, the same defense that gave up 48 to USU (side note, Air Force gave up 49 the week after, at home. AF only gave up 3 points to Navy the week prior). The NG position will be much stronger than in the Spring when the two teams play. Outside of Haas, I believe they are healthy. Will be interested to know how close to 100% Canady will be by game time. Two games under his belt and a week off. Even though I can't picture it, on paper I think they should have an Ok shot at knocking them off. Let's put it at a 25 to 30% chance.
