Agree with UND08 as this is a couple of guys though Midwestern Hawk intimates there are more. Point is, a VAST MAJORITY are not involved in this. Those that are sound like they may be gone already. But this is an ugly topping to a Shi* season. We want Bubba to recruit the players we need to compete but they need to keep their nose clean. Ironically, the 2 best HUDL videos I saw the past couple of years were Iwarri Smith and Dre Randolph. I guess I have a thing for pot heads.

Then why bring it up in a thread on a public forum? Is it legal? I can find out things on the State website. Not speculation but actual statements of Probable Cause in arrests.

Can we take away the Jr High drama and just talk about things that are real. And if whatever THIS is, just tell it.

Looking at Rastas, I'd be surprised if he is 195.

I didn't think he was out of line, but we are all P##%ed off here with the way the season has gone. QUESTION: Which of the wounded medical RS eligible.

Good Q. I'd love to see Zimmerman as I don't think Ketteringham is eligible. I think Heidelbaugh is headed to another position.

I'm going to find a nice cold beer or two before the game on Saturday. I shall find another one inside, then find my seat and I will find something to STAND UP AND CHEER about at the game. If nothing else, we get to scout the 2018 Hawks team and see which players have the most potential without chastizing them for not having it now.

This is a good Tom Miller article. Based on the questions, I'd say he might read the stuff we write here. http://millersports.areavoices.com/2017/10/02/und-football-the-howd-we-get-to-1-4-faqs/

Tom Miller‏ @tommillergf 7h7 hours ago More Just finished UND football press conference at the HPC. Injury update: Everyone is questionable. .

More Sounds likely that true freshman inside linebacker Noah Larson will redshirt. Was expected to be in the rotation, especially after injuries. 4:54 PM - 28 Sep 2017 From UND Football 360

I follow him on Twitter, but I'm not sure if it was him for sure. May have been the Kelly Howe/Riendeau site too???

Larson's RS will not be pulled according to, was it Miller?

The ONLY way.

You're probably right-this team is more like a car with TWO flat tires. Ironically, I had spaghetti for supper. I really did.

And I'm suggesting it's more of a lack of game action, trying to keep up to bigger and stronger players, and just not feeling comfortable yet. Passion will come after they understand they can play at this level. Right now they are just feeling their way on the field.

I'm frustrated and concerned and if Cole and Deion were out there and Rodgers and others as well, I'd be even more concerned and frustrated. I don't get the whole "passion" thing. These kids are walking around with wide eyes trying to comprehend what to do and how to do it; right now they're more concerned about how to play than to play with "passion." If a race car had a flat tire and was being passed by all the other cars, fans around here would say that can't be an excuse and the driver should be fired for not trying harder.

Your standards are way higher than most of us? Yes, because all the posters here have been celebrating how bad this season has gone thereby proving our low standards. We just aren't ready to shitcan Bubba and everyone else based on an historic season of injuries. So with your high standards you'd fire all of them, and in a couple years when things aren't going as well as you'd like, fire the new coach you just hired right? That proves you have high standards.

Well, there's also Tank, Cieslek and the kids playing now. Love to see what Cam Hunt can do too.

Dre Randolph, Donnell Rogers, Zeke Ott, Jalen Morrison should be ready, Mason Bennett may not be done for the year, but should be better next year and add pounds to Rastas, Blubaugh and others and I think it's a solid looking D. Just the 2 you mentioned make a big difference. Harris takes away one side of the field. Larson hopefully clogs the middle. I like the D next year.

I'm a guy who likes to know probabilities in sports. For example, Aaron Judge of the Yanks is at his 90% projection this season, a highly unlikely result for him, but a happy one as well. What is the probability of this season unfolding as it has? The "experts" in the media and coaching staffs saw UND as the top team in the conference. 14 injuries on D and its a lost year. How often can we expect this calamity to occur? Has anyone seen anything like this?

It is. No doubt about it. But look at next year. In addition to the guys coming back from injury, there's Ott, Larson and maybe even Morrison as guys who will help. Add some pounds to the guys that should NOT be playing now, and it could be a great D. In fact, most of the starters now, will be backups next year. Unless 90 percent of them are injured early in the year.

Saw something that Cam Hunt was practicing this week.

That's exactly what the guys on the hockey board were saying too and I understand the point. They always worried that Hak could not be replaced. Turns out he could be replaced. So could Bubba, but not yet.

This is a fair point, but... Although these guys are in positions where they are overmatched, does it help that they are getting some reps in games? Does it help them for next year or the year after? This year is dead. It's a rebuild, so does it make sense to keep the system the same as the one he will use next year or should he try something new?
