Wilbur

Maybe Grubb can get his buddy Soller to UND.... Edit* I see he is a WMU commit. Shoot.

First Western ND kid since..... Is it Fylling and Massen?

Sam Howell, we barely knew you. Brosmer not quite ready, in comes Wentz. Hope he just sits back and watches JJ have a great year. Now about a WR.....

Hope you are right! This program needs an outcome like that.

The K State QB is a good player. Had some first game issues, but he will make some plays against us. I loved the way both coaches were attack mentality. The 4th and 3 at the end was a great call. Dale Lennon once said, "End the game on your terms." Nothing better than victory formation. Head over heart..... K-State 35 UND 17

The team GPR could've had with him and Suda in the net.

I haven't heard them pulling in anyone from around the state like French used to do. I'm interested to see how Olsonawski and crew do this year, although most of the team was Shanley kids anyways. I think its like you said. Central and Red River, and its the goal of every other team to make the all GF final not happen. Looks like kids left Minot even without that second team.

I've heard that Deziel is playing up in Canada, but not confirmed. With or without I see GFC lifting #.....a lot.

Was told Sioux Falls.

This is what I've heard, can't confirm it all, rumor mill material here. Sheyenne: Raan WFHS: Peterson, Mattern. Red River: Jackson I heard Keller from Minot, but haven't heard other names. Davies: Spiewak Legacy-Strom

Figured I'd turn the page on last season and move forward to a new year with school getting going this week. On the North Dakota boy's side you've got a long list of early departures yet again, and some new coaches in West Fargo and Dickinson (haven't heard who will be the head man in Williston yet). I'll give the nod to Central to win the championship in the boys. I'd assume North/South in the girls division, but it was nice to see a different winner last year.

I'm told that the right field wall actually ended all racism. Mods, I apologize.....joke....joke...

People should really look up unfiltered audio of what is said between these young guys battling it out for 60 minutes. There is some great ones where they've got minor league players mic'd up. When I coached high school I couldn't believe the stuff kids say back and forth. I'd say getting called "nodiks" would be friendly banter with what else gets said.

I'd say yes, but only due to my kids being out of school until late August. Things get much better when they are contained elsewhere.

High glove and the egg will miss....at least thats where everyone missed me when I played.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I'd love an entirely green get up on the road. Or even have just a home game where they did it once a year. I'm a big Notre Dame football fan (eggs headed my way, I know), and I love it when they go with the green get up of times past.

Wilbur approves. The North Dakota home jerseys.....love em.

I can't see SDSU finishing 2nd with all the forced changes in their program and losing a tremendous QB. Still a lot of talent, but Dan Jackson is the coach of the year if he gets them to top 2 in the MVFC. As far as UND football goes: @ K State- Loss, but lets hang in there and show the program has made necessary changes. Portland State-Win @ Grizz-A very winnable game, but I'll say a loss. K state environment should help the kids for this environment. Valpo-Lots of playing time for all the kids this game. Win. @ Northern Iowa-Win Youngstown-Win @ SIU-Win Indiana State-That loss stung, lets route them at home. Win @ USD-Can't remember the last victory in the dome....Loss NDSU-A full house for the bizen.....heart over head....Win @ Murray-Win SDSU-Win I think 9-3 or 8-4 is very much on the table. Two out of three against the Dakota schools is very much in play. We've got to get over being a layup for teams on the road.

I really hope Dane is steadfast in the whole "identity of our team" talk he's been throwing out to Schlossman time and again. I let my guard down when Berry would constantly bring up our #culture, and the drive to play a #fullsixty, and at the end of the day I don't think I can handle that happening again. We can't let #identity become a thing for us keyboard warriors....thankfully #ferdaoxbow didn't.... Having intense individuals added to the staff like Smaby and JPL help.

Can be on the ice, but can't directly coach the goalies.... I'm going to tell my wife that I'll be in the house, but can't directly parent the kids.

Let the record show that Wilbur did not spill....

Announcement coming today I'm told. Not player related, but others have hinted that this was going to happen.

If/when it becomes official with Mattern and Peterson leaving WFHS that will make things pretty official that its RR and GFC. I've heard rumors from former Central players I know that Paranica may be ready to hand things over to Moreland at GFC. Again, we all love rumors. The not too early, not difficult prediction whatsoever is the Knights are your 2026 state champs.

Got to remember as well that Zmolek is coming off a season long injury and we really don't know if he will be able to stay healthy. I think you'll see Verhoeff start out third pair and slowly build his way up to top four minutes. He's a first round kid, but the NCHC will be a jump. Being 6'4 as a 17 year old helps.

Would he be considered a grinda or a chippa? Simple question...
