  1. Then you read this morning that Shaduer was trying to pad stats by getting his buddy a TD late. Any other team but NDSU you are hoping they connect at the end and make them pay for that stupidity. Long year for the Buffs.
  2. Boy is Colorado not well coached. Deion's kid with zero clue with the play clock, their cover schemes, and his other kid with late hits and just terrible safety play. After the PI call you take three knees and maybe punt it with 15 seconds or less. That is a mediocre Colorado team that will score a bunch of points, but give up a million points at the same time. If that game is in Fargo I think NDSU wins it. I thought Miller looked pretty good. Seemed like Landry went a bit Bubba in the 2nd half, but we've all been there.
  3. I'm surprised the kid is still uncommitted, but he's got to have loads of schools interested in him. Maybe Nick Naumenko or the Jones brothers can sway an Illinois kid to head North.
  4. Just did a quick look over the roster, and can't remember a year in recent memory that we had so much size. There are 12 guys on the roster 6'2 or above. Did some research and last year there were 9 guys that tall, and the years before we averaged about 6 to 7 kids that size. Eleven new faces this year, 6 of the 11 are 6'2 plus. Heavy hockey a priority? Edit* Sigh....the tallest team since 10-11......and I don't want to talk about that one......
  5. There is currently a kid in the metro that played AAA and didn't make the team this off-season so he won't be going back. If he decides to keep playing it's the JV team until January (gasp). Rumor has it that he's probably done with hockey.
  6. As an old WDA guy it pains me to see the rosters come out for the NDAHA preseason teams. The 15O team has four kids from the West? One kid from Minot, two from Bismarck, and a Valley City kid.....that lives 60 minutes from Fargo. Probably not going to get much better down the line. Part of me hopes that with the tryouts mainly being in the east side of the state the western kids don't want to travel for the tryout and multiple weekends in West Fargo or in Grand Forks.
  7. My wish of one day watching a Feeney take it to the Bison in the Fargodome has died a sad death. At the same time if the kid isn't 100% committed to being here and being a positive part of the QB room regardless of the depth chart then its time to find another place to play his college football. I wish the kid well, was hopeful he would one day take the reigns, but life doesn't always work out the way we plan it too.
  8. In the EDC, West Fargo High School is losing their senior starting goaltender (Norton) to a team in Las Vegas I believe.
  9. Muss had some dudes that could score the football. And at the same point some dudes that couldn't tackle or cover people.
  10. Congrats to Simon. I thought Feeney would've taken the rains, but the decision for who starts isn't taken lightly.
  11. Sad day. Great guy.
  12. I've got to be able to spell the one kid's name before I make anything public.
  13. Two months later: Pitching has hung in there. Topa back, Stewart back, the bullpen is getting close to the best it's ever been. Jax, Stewart, Topa, Duran, Alcala from the 7th on doesn't sound terrible. Lineup wise, Wallner has figured it out, should be a regular. Correa back in a few weeks, but Lee and Castro can handle short. It's a playoff team, now can we get one more starting pitcher....
  14. The Zajic kid is fantastic with the puck....fantastic. I think a potential first rounder when he fills out his frame in the weight room. Another kid Brad didn't list to look out for is Cooper Soller. Later 08 birthday so will only be a Sophomore this year, but the hockey sense and skating ability were among the best on a good Shattuck team.
  15. I think Rowe initially before Hammer figures out the pace and enters the rotation. I thought he'd back up Castro this year, but he took the bull by the horns and became the guy. Looking forward to a January start for him when the Broncos visit REA.
  16. Hammer is now a Bronco. Wonder what kind of scholarship they got for brother Grant.
  17. Slukynsky was #1 at Warroad. I don't think KJ would mind switching numbers.
  18. Hammer is a free agent....go after the kid....
  19. First thing I thought of was Hammer. Guessing he signed his LOI, but that won't stop teams from poking in. If he ended up at UND, Wodon, or whomever that guy is that doesn't like people attending college hockey games would lose his collective mind.
  20. Weeks later, Tier 1 team doesn't happen. Wonder what the next steps are.
  21. Or if it was the big boy division, half a season of your starting QB. Great gift from the family though. Can't thank them enough.
  22. Won a series. A step in the right direction.
  23. Yeah, how Mac handles those good NCHC d men flying down the wall on him will say a lot about the type of season he has. I'm sure he's used to d men not respecting him carrying the puck out, so it's good he's got a good grade on d zone exit passing. Guy is a playmaker. Who is the guy that plays with him that finishes what he creates?
  24. Seven in a row. Rocco had quite the response to Duran questioning pitch selection. Normally Rocco is pretty calm, but he seemed a bit mad.
  25. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/will-house-vs-ncaa-settlement-cause-major-changes-for-und So maybe three levels of D1 football? At some point we just drop the NCAA as a whole right?
