But in the winter we'd pile up snow so we had something to dive into . Imagined we were playing at the old Met in MPLS

UNDFootball360 liked Eric J. Burton TSD‏ @goon4812h12 hours ago More Eric J. Burton TSD Retweeted UNDFootball360 Over on Sioux Sports, they want coach Paul Rudolph fired, yesterday. He was an assistant coach when I was a freshman at Upper Iowa, I think he's a good coach. Personally, he pushed us as players to get better every day.

Thank you for this. Sometimes numbers do not support perceptions. I thought Muss had a high flying pass all the time O here. And a throwing QB next year could make 50 yards per game diff on his own. Also, our receivers have very little YAC and that could change next year too IF the QB leads the WR and the WR has more speed like McKinney Greibel .

I was referring to Brian Kelly.

He did. But he also changed his own ways too. Yes, a rebound IS necessary and I believe it will happen.

So if he gets fired, where do you see the program? How many of Ott, Larson and others leave for other places? How many of the recruits who verballed are gone? How long before the next guy gets us to where we were last year and likely would have gotten without all the injuries?

I don't think we have massive problems and I'm on this blog daily. I hope the recruits can see that some disgruntled fans think it's the coaches' fault we had injuries and a sucky season.

I don't care if they come from Mars, but get them. Doing more in Colorado and it appears Askew may have some in Missouri.

No one likes the injury excuse as many call for the head of players and coaches. To put injuries in perspective, Florida St was a top 10 team coming into the season. They lose their QB (one player) and now suck. Bama is still rolling but the loss of 4 LB's is starting to show. Our injuries were numerous and all over the field but this season sucked because it's the culture and it's players not caring and it's drugs and it's poor play calling and I hated what happened, but it still gets back to injuries. (CUE the guys who say I don't have high enough standards and just want to accept a mediocre team.)

He would and yet, around here, Schmitt's D gets a pass (and I agree that it's injuries) but a shoddy OLine in a run first offense still yielded 400 yards a game?? Not bad.

Who is being cleaned? Players, coaches both?

The new recruit signing period is Dec 20-22. Need to get our shat together now.

With more mobility than one, I hope.

We need beasts. Any of the guys who are played a lot this year destined for beasthood? Rooney is one I think.

RSFrs Jeremy Jenkins, Conner Kruse and Will Prine gonna be anything. Jenkins listed as 6'7" 275. Kruse 6'6" 295.Prine 6'6" 255. Add a few lbs to each?

I think a stronger armed QB and a stronger OL will be the main differences next year.

UND Football 360 tweets that there was a team meeting today to talk about all facets of the team on and off the field.

Very good. I believe EWU, a pretty good team, had 89 yards in the 2nd half. Looking for silver linings in a cloudy season there's some, and when you consider that hopefully, many who were stopping them in the 2nd half yesterday will be backups, then you can have hope for this D next year. I liked the O going no huddle. We can still get the ball to the big 3 and Gordon with that type of formation. Hoping McKinney, Greibel and Izzy get going next year too.

Didn't make it, but I was wrong-they were down 1. Going for the W

I'm watching a great Montana St v NAU game. MSU just tied it and is going for 2 with 32 seconds left. MSU QB is a stud

Unfortunately, most of the guys on our D are too small for a chain like that. Gonna have to settle for a bracelet!

2017 is over. We can b7tch about it all we want, but it's over. I'll use Brian Kelly at the other UND as an example of what I hope Bubba does next year-make some coaching changes but with them a concept change on how the team plays. Kelly was on his last legs last year and needed a good season to save his job. May be true for Bubba too. Along those lines, won't matter who the AD is-Kennedy will decide. Hopefully we don't have the injuries next year and that in and of itself means the team will be better. Add some RSFr who make a difference and get increased size and strength of all those who played a lot this year. With that, guys like Rastas and Blubaugh will not be starters and will be nice depth for the D. On O, hoping the Oline (which at times gave Studs some time today) will be better and I really think that the QB will be better next year. The speed at WR should improve as well with RSFr's. Still need to figure out how to put Brady, Santiago and JJ on the field a LOT! Playoffs next year and a couple of W's along the way OR BUST!

Ahh...to be young again and eat away.

I like all of this, but do I read this right, that you think Rooney is to LOSE 10 or is the - 10 an indication he needs 10? How difficult is it for a guy like Rastas to add that much?

Is there any good reason for anyone to compare the UND hockey program to any other program on campus? It is one of the best, most renowned programs in the country. Neither football nor any other program is. Doesn't mean I don't hope football will become that (and I believe it can) but the fan base for hockey is well established and night games in the Ralph are parties for lots of college students.
