  1. Doppler and Erickson were both pretty big reaches at the time and in reality both would have been better off going to a D2 team where they could have gotten playing time and active development. With the portal nowadays coaches will also regularly be bringing in experienced players over the top of kids that have been “developing” on the roster. until the portal pendulum swings the other direction.. it’s in the kids and coaches best interest to look for a place where they can contribute rapidly versus being buried in a development role.
  2. Could add 70.. saved for impact big guy! I love the special number idea
  3. What was our record again this year? Not sure if I understand the tears for our guys hitting the portal outside of Eaglestaff. Until the coaching side of things is straightened out we might as roll out an all state team from North Dakota. At least their friends and family would show up to the games. I thought sather was a good hire but it hasn’t worked out for him.. 1 winning season in 6.. it’s time to go a different direction.
  4. seems like the running back coach at ISU is a pretty significant salary upgrade over OC in the MVFC.. I was a little suprised to see it was so much.

    Gotta give him a little grace.. he has been watching UND football so the definition of awesome QB play might be a little skewed..
  6. This is the wildcard to me.. I know we will never find out.. I also know and realize that the defense was a gaping wound all year and so QB was about 15th on the list of issues. I would really like to know whose decision it was to start Romfo all year and never give the backup any kind of meaningful time. Im not even arguing if Romfo was better or Jerry or Feeny or who beat who out etc.. How could you watch our QB play this year and not at least want to give the backup a little bit of time. Im a little surprised Jerry hasnt hit the portal. Im excited about the chatter about some QB transfers. Spring ball is going to be fun this year.
  7. I love the portal and enjoy watching the NIL pearl clutching. Its really nice to see the players get paid and coaches having to deal with it. It could use a little regulation and visibility as I would like to see how much the players are actually getting paid versus all of the rumors. Im sure one of the guys on here has all of the stats as to percentages of players that go into the portal versus end up in a better situation but Im sure the answer is a pretty low percentage. There are always the outliers that are bouncing around every year.. but for the vast majority, its gotta be somebody who is trying to go somewhere for the last year or two of eligibility or somebody who ended up in a situation that just didnt work out for them and they would like to play.
  8. This is why this conversation gets annoying.. clearly in fall camp the three were very close.. 1 was named starter.. 1 quit.. the other one was buried on the bench regardless of how poorly the starter played or how out of hand the game was. It was rediculous.
  9. The selection of the starter is always debatable.. I would be very interested to know if that was bubba or fruechte. the lack of time/development for the backup through obvious times in a clearly underperforming major position like QB is the one thing that keeps me from jumping on the fruechte bandwagon even as OC.
  10. If the qb situation was a bubba issue then I would be happy with fruechte.. if it was fruechte.. then I have very little interest in him even as OC.
  11. He played basketball until his senior year.. started on the basketball team and then switched to wrestling about midway through the season and took 3rd in state (without having wrestled previously). Heck of an athlete.
  12. So I get the part about interim coaches.. keeping the current team .. current recruits.. but offering new transfer guys when a new coach is right around the corner? Seems a little dumb to me
  13. is it odd that we are offering portal guys without having a head coach?
  14. Not just true freshmen.. but player development in general. Either the cupboard is bare or the bubba led teams were not great at player development. As bad as the defense was.. where were the young player minutes.. QB minutes.. WR minutes..
  15. I like the idea of keeping Fruechte and Olson and maybe a couple from the offensive side. The one item that really keeps me from getting on the Fruechte bandwagon is the QB development this year.. My assumption is that he had at least something to do with selection of the starter.. and after that he could have gotten the backups into the game in a more regular cadence. QB is arguably the most important position on the field and you have to have a coach that develops that position.
