Liked Frank White's class, loved Dr. Munski's class. Yeah his classes were way too easy, but I don't think I've ever had a professor that cared more about me as a student. Took time to talk to me, and was always very considerate to all students. Anybody remember the name of the guy who teaches/taught soc statistics? Guy wore one pink sock and one white sock all the time because he said he didn't match his socks in the morning. I'm horrible in the field of mathematics, but the guy taught me statistics....some how some way....

Is Slap Shot Pizza still open? Talk about a hole in the wall place that made great pizza and breadsticks. When I was in high school and we had tournaments etc. in GF for hockey that was the first call we made at the hotel. When I went to UND I'm guessing I financed their payroll....

Based on the off the field issues the Griz have been having I'd give UND a real shot of beating them at the Alerus Center. I really hope UND doesn't find themselves on the losing end of six football games. I would consider that a disaster of a season. I'm not delusional, this is the way I see the schedule playing out: ~South Dakota Mines: Win, obviously. ~Portland State: Night game at home, a win. ~San Diego State: First loss of the season. ~Sacramento State: Tough to be on the road two weeks in a row....but I think the Sioux rebound. ~Cal Poly: Win at home. ~Eastern Washington: Loss on the red carpet ~Northern Arizona: Win at home. ~Montana: Loss....but closer than Grizz fans think it will be. ~Montana State: Two losses in a row for the Sioux. ~Southern Utah: Beat em last year, on the home turf they can get them again. ~Northern Colorado: Hopefully no repeat of last year, but a win. 7-4.....Anything better is a fantastic year....anything worse and we're talking about how we can't wait for Joe to start taking reps at the QB position....

Crap....sell..... Kid does seem like a class act. I hope he gets a chance and plays well for Bucky.

I hope we don't see a Garman situation happen all over again. If they take the redshirt off he'll need to be on the field as much as possible.

I'll buy that. Anxious to see if he'll contribute to this years team.

Going back to the 2001 team, I buy middle of the pack. That defense was special. Boy, nothing I enjoyed more than the Alerus center rocking on third down, and Bubba sending a blitz....opposing offensive coordinators knew he was going to blitz the $hit out of them, and they still found ways to get to the QB. The downfall would be the offense. Klosterman was a good QB, they had some good receivers and RB's, but I don't think they would have faired too well against some of the defenses in the Big Sky.

I wonder how the 2001 team would have faired in the Big Sky..... Buy or sell, the 2001 team finishes in the top five of the Big Sky?

Wasn't in the building, so I can't vote on that one. Digger stuffing Malone, and then the place going nuclear is #1 all time in my book.

Give it three to four years before a UND player gets drafted. I can see some free agent signings by chance, but don't see any draft worthy players for the next two years.

Its either the UC-Davis game or the Northern Alabama game for loudest of all time. I think one thing that really helped was the Northern Alabama fans were pretty loud themselves at that game. Just a buzz the whole game....

I don't think the crowd will affect Montana at the Alerus center, based on where they have made appearances in years past. That being said, there shouldn't be an open seat for the football game, and you shouldn't be able to hear yourself think when Montana has the football. The days of the crowd winning games for the team might be over with. PS: Anybody have a video clip of Digger Anderson stuffing Rod Malone on 4th and short at the Alerus? Had to be the loudest moment in Alerus center history....

Did not know about the family ties to the area, a very good thing. If he already has graduated from North Carolina then he would get to transfer anywhere and not have to sit out a season ala Russell Wilson to Wisconsin or Dayne Crist to Kansas. Or Brett Bruneteau to Vermont....

I'd like to think that Hanson is that good of a QB, but then its almost like, "Why is he not still playing I-A ball?"

Had the team had Klosterman healthy there is no way they lose to SCSU/Omaha/Minnesota State three weeks in a row. Heck, they probably could have backed their way into the playoffs some way some how. They still beat NDSU with a backup QB in Fargo.....I call the season a sucess.

I remember thinking during the CW meltdown that if Klosterman had to run for his life this much during the season he was going to get hurt.....I think it was pretty close to the next game that he was hurt at South Dakota State..... *Edit....it was three games later he was hurt in Brookings.

I think the key player is Hanson. He has the keys to UND's season. I think they have all the talent in the world on offense....Hardin, Garman, Miller, Jackson. To me, if he can spread the ball around and provide enough of a threat in the passing game to where teams won't put 8 or 9 in the box, UND could be potent offensively.

1. Sell-Mitch Sutton and Miller see too much of the ball for that to happen. 2. Buy-Miller had a great season last year, I'm pretty confident in the kicking game. 3. Sell-Both will see time when the offense goes into the usual funk.....

I can't see the Rau-Duncan comparison.....I guess you could argue the finding the soft spot in the zone and finding the back of the net, but thats just about all.... As far as speed and a quick shot goes....I think he'll be okay.... http://www.snappytv.com/snaps/goldengopherhky-goal-kyle-rau-on-a-rush-into-the-undmhock-about-final-five-semifinal-north-dakota-vs-minnesota-on-fox-sports-north

I hate to give a gopher player too much credit, but Rau was tremendous for them. Got underneath the skin of other players, scored some pretty big goals, and had a great freshman year. If Grimaldi has the type of Freshman year that Rau had I think UND wins the league. If he has a better one, special things....

I would think that Dell would probably have to have a decision made by August. I'm not really sure what to say about whether he stays or goes. A lot depends on the type of contract if any the Canadiens offer him.

I'm going to buy this one. Jake Miller. Buy or Sell.....Garman becomes a featured guy in the offense?

I'm going to buy the fact that the game against the Vikings will be a wakeup call. Coming off the game against SD mines I think the team will be a bit flat and take a bit to get up to speed. Buy or Sell.....Road win at San Diego State?

I'm selling this. Could be good or bad....could mean that UND has a dual threat.....or could mean our QB's can't get the football down the field, and Hardin doesn't have a good year..... PS: Arden Beechy shows up in a buy or sell UND football thread? What?

Walker was one helluva QB, tough to put him against a UND QB because of the different offensive systems that the teams employ. I'd like to see what Walker would have done in the Mussman offense when Freund was under center. Going out of the gun on a majority of the passing downs, etc.
