This made me look at average attendance for the FCS schools. Hopefully Schmidt is able to get our football attendance up above our average hockey attendance being that the Alerus holds around 13,000. Love the pub for the hockey side of things obviously, but lets get the Alerus above 12K a game. Used to love the dream triple header weekends of hockey, football, hockey as a student. My liver doesn't miss those weekend.

Just sell the team guys. They are already managed by a binder, that should save on hotel rooms and meal costs going forward if they just don't have a coaching staff either.

His d zone center play is also extremely likable. Not sure what kind of face off % guy he is, but really good with his space management low off the wall. I think he's a kid that jumps into the top six right away when he gets here.

Agreed. WHL or USHL next season for sure. If I was a betting man I'd say 19 year old season, but there is always the possibility if he gets above 6 feet and adds weight.

Grubb is off to a great start on the 18U Prep at Shattuck. Three points in two games as a 16 year old. Excited to see his progress. I think we could see him on Campus as an 18 year old with some growth.

With how bad they were last week and some guys in the protocol it leaves one to wonder what we will see out of them this weekend. Bad o-line play makes even the HOF guys like a Mahomes, or even a Joe Burrows eat their lunch and hit the training table. I anticipate a low scoring ball game on Sunday. Quick passing game from both sides.

A good time for JJ to see game reps on tape and go from there. Only 22 I keep telling myself. I remember watching Josh Allen get his first ever win against us and telling myself he wasn't anything great at all and was lucky he had a good defense. If I'm KOC you've got to lean heavy on the playmakers now. Get the ball to Jefferson early and often. One more week without Addison, and then you can utilize Thielen in the WR3 role instead of WR2. I thought the defense was alright. Two starting LBs hurt and no Harry quite yet.

Breaking news. Wentz to likely start on Sunday against the Bengals.

100%. Why we try and be so cute at the goal line is ridiculous. Mason, football, run down hill.

Very true. Line play was abysmal.

Ohh my, this feels like we took 5 steps straight back as a frqnchise. JJ has been terrible for 7 of his 8 professional quarters. He's 22.....he's 22.....he's 22. This completes the weekend of all my teams losing. Thank God UND has something called Valpo next weekend....

On to Valpo I guess. A great time to rest anyone that is nicked up a bit, and get some game reps for all. I'm ticked off at a lot this morning, as my Irish lost on a botched extra point as well and a horrendous missed call by the officials that had a direct effect on the game in the last moments of the game. Nonetheless, you can't botch an XP. The easiest point to get on the football field, and ohh so important in the long run.

So I was today old when I learned the 3 second spike the ball rule in college. That being said we didn't have any timeouts and we throw it short with a chance to maybe get 3? So I owe Jerry an apology, and likewise he owes me one in return for the previous play.

I think the kids are close. Mental stuff bites us again, and we beat the dead horse of what should have been. I feel a lot better about this group than years past. Valpo....Win At UNI....Win Youngstown....Win At Souther Ill....win Indiana State....win At South Dakota....toss up NDSU....Loss. At Murray....Win SDSU.....Win I think the group needs to be 6-2 going into game in Vermillion. If they lose at UNI and are 2-3 then we are looking at a race to 6-6 and some what ifs.

Thank you.

Okay experts, is this illegal?

You leave it up to the home town stripes on military appreciation day late in the game and we all know the outcome. Honestly the way the playoffs work in FCS, why wouldn't you expect to see every away non-conference team get homered? Each conference always begs for more teams in the postseason, calling PI on #5 hurts the conference. Just a fact. On to the next one.

Atrocious officiating. What a joke.

Pass interference?

Offsides????

Gotta take points when they are there earlier in the game. Could say minimum 7.

AND WE MAKE AN EXTRA POINT!!!!! SKOL!!!! That drive was all about Jerry.

No kidding.....he's done that like 4 times today.

16-14 going to the 4th quarter. We get rid of the mistakes and we aren't a bad football team. Kids are playing hard, I like it.

Designed QB run with Jerry......God someone listened....
