Who likes that call?????

Waletzko out

Tommy got smacked on that pass play. NO OL play so far today.

I know the other team KNOWS that Q is running the ball. By the same token, if the line can't block enough to get 2 yards in 2 plays, it's gonna be a long day.

The O looked very accomplished at times. Some missed layups, which happens to every team, hurt them as they were making a run. Good team effort under the circumstances.

Gotta be. Why would they fly that many players if they weren't able to play. Must have tested at the arena.

That is an interesting point. No team has ever had to transition from spring season to fall season before. It was new to all. Wondering what other teams did as compared to what UND did. Then again, when you lose so many close games, there's going to be a lot of questions about preparation.

Who were dressed and who will RS this year?

IF, UND beats SDSU (A mighty big IF), they would have some recency bias with the committee.

I take credit for this one. I left the game to head to Playmakers after the 3rd Q. Had I gone down at halftime, UND may have won by 20.

Hawks 42-YSU 17

Score now?

Plus the other part of most bowl games is the teams have to purchase a ton of tickets and most do not make money on the bowl game. Maybe heading to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl is how UND fans want to spend The week before Christmas but it’s not for everyone.

Saw something yesterday that suggests he’s a 5th round pick.

Impressive. Tomorrow I shall attend the TLM at St Stanislaus Church in Warsaw.

While you're probably right about the teams likely to go FBS, there's still going to be a large number that don't move up. Where is the money coming from for stadium renovations and NIL? Would it be so bad to stay in the FCS? Is it really better to try to make it to the Tidy Whitey Toilet Bowl some year?

No offense, but this is missing the biggest point: A Saban staff recruits an entirely different type of player. We are comparing apples to oranges. Would anyone want a Scott Frost here? He did well at UCF, not well at his alma mater. I see former USC Coach Clay Helton went to Ga Southern. They are FBS but haven't been for long.

I know. I just love the Latin. It seems peaceful. Ave Maria.

Love to see someone say Requiescat in Pace.

Earlier in this thread, they were being denounced as overthinking. should have just lined up and handed the ball to Otis. That would have been predictable.

If...and these are mighty big IF's there is no fumble we run out the clock. IF, the D doesn't fall asleep and fail to stop a team from not only scoring 2 TDs but a 2 point conversion late in a game we win. NOT ALL of this is on coaches.

Fair point, but this team beat the team that may have won the title had their QB not gone down.

The same foursome had this team in the playoffs as recently as March.

While others may call this "excuses" I agree with your point. Young guys are doing most of the heavy lifting, They are prone to make more mistakes. I'll be there Saturday to cheer the boys on.

I appreciate the high expectations for UND hockey every season. But... It's one game. It's one game in OCTOBER. Let's not storm the castle.
