Run....run.....swing pass. I've seen this formula at the Fargo Dome before.....

Yes Dom it wasn't this loud at Iowa State....or any FBS stadium anywhere.....

If that's PI it's gonna be a long game....

Perron. Thank you for doing this every year.

Brad with a nice recap. I think when Strinden is healthy he's with Jammer on the grind line. Not sure if Schmaltz is the guy with them but a lot of new faces could play that roll.

Please....just one game....go all green....please....come on....

I think Miller is definitely the key. If he has a good game and rolls in the running game it will take a special effort by the Hawks offense to stay with him.

Let's just not do the thing where we miss an extra point or give up a TD on a long throw into double coverage. Or letting a fullback run crazy on A gap power over and over and over again. Wouldn't mind us taking a shot or two when they throw a ton of bodies into the box. This week will tell us a lot about Simon as well. A big spot for him.

#fullsixty? Or #culture?

So lets look at who was here and who wasn't between this season and last season. Gone from 2023: ~Solano....not a big deal ~Joey Gallo....anybody miss him striking out? ~Michael Taylor.....covered for Buxton.....meh..... ~Polanco....hit .250....I missed the guy, but wasn't great in Seattle. ~Nick Gordon.....utility guy....hurt. ~Kyle Garlick....okay.... ~Pagan.....good riddance. ~Keuchel......some spot starts.....throws 88 mph.... ~Sonny Gray.....This is the one that makes you upset because he wasn't replaced. ~Tyler Mahle.....hurt all year......Spencer Steer would've been good. ~Jordan Luplow.....Forgot he was there..... ~Jorge Lopez.....fell off the face of the earth..... ~Kenta Maeda.....relegated to the bullpen by the Tigers Honestly, if the Twins brought Gray back nobody is talking about the payroll (would've been 20 million less if he takes the same deal with the Twins). A friend of mine works for the Twins and said that Sonny was so sick of Rocco's pitching philosophy that he wasn't signing again with the Twins. Any other names on the list above that would've helped this year? Rocco gets another year, the Pohlads make more false promises, 2025 could be an 85 plus loss season unless they add two starting pitchers.

UND has to take care of the football and run the ball well. Miller will get his, we just have to own TOP.

Okay, turning the page to next season. Pretend everyone stays healthy....... SP: Pablo, Ober, Ryan, SWR......need to sign a starter. Let Zebby and Festa grow in AAA. Ownership probably won't sign a starter..... RP: Jax, Duran, Sands, Topa, Stewart (Never healthy), Varland, Alcala, Funderburk. IF: Correa, Lewis, Lee, Miranda, Castro, Kiriloff (Never healthy). Vasquez, Jeffers. OF: Buxton, Larnach, Wallner, Martin, Castro. Bullpen you're fine, but that is if everyone stays healthy. Varland is a reliever. Don't try to make him a starter. So long: Kepler, Margot, Santana, Thielbar, Tonkin, Desclafani. Maybe we can trade Julien......sigh.

Welp, that kind of summed up the last two months in a nutshell.

Well it's September and if you told me in July that the Twins would implode I don't know if I would've believed you. Twins on life support against Miami in the 12th inning.... What on earth happened. Other than the Pohlads....

Throw back to the last season at Memorial Stadium.

Poly with 8 rushing yards on 18 attempts against them. Thats not going to get it done. Pound it down their throats, use the play action to hit some bigger plays if they put more bodies in the box. I'm expecting the Law Firm of Seidl, Ziebarth, and Smith to have big time games Saturday. Hawks 45 San Diego 17

I like Flores. And given his pending lawsuits against the NFL and the Tua thing he may be around for a while as our d coordinator as no one will hire him. I didn't have them 2-0. Don't stumble against the Texans and 3-0 headed to Lambo....

ETSU going into the Donashelle at the end and the special teams ended up costing them. Too big of a spot for a team trying to figure itself out. NDSU knows how to win, I think they even would have won if they didn't recover the kick.

I've got several NDSU friends that are texting me about Craig Bohl being available.

Some teams just find ways to lose.

That's your chance. Let them score.

I don't think I've ever seen a quick like that work in an obvious on side situation. Good for ETSU.

If I'm Tennessee I let them score.

I think NDSU scores and does another onside kick and scores again.

What coverage is this team playing? The stand and watch.
