Was anyone at the "Fire and Ice" game at Memorial Stadium? A TV channel did a show about it, focusing on the coaches, Roger Thomas (Ice) and Rocky Hager (Fire). UND won. I was in long johns, snowcat suit and filled with lots of Schnapps.

You mean own it? UND has a winning record at the Dome.

The 93 game is so significant. I was at UND during the 80's and SU killed us and their fans were even bigger Dbags than they are now. Over a decade of dominance against UND and in one play, the Mooney fumble recovery (steal), and the whole series shifted and UND football started it's ascent to a National Title. Nothing better than that one. After the Fargodome was built and we had the Kleinsasser game, I bought a T-shirt that said, "The Fargodome. SU built it, UND owns it."

I was at last night women's BB game. Lots of players joined Bubba and Freund. I saw whom I believe to be Tank walking with a boot on his foot. Looked like he was moving Ok, but it was a boot. Another player, smaller guy, was on crutches. Another had his left arm in a sling that I thought might be Santiago but could not be sure. Anyone else see them?

At the time, I thought it was a turning point type play. Didn't they take it down on that drive to go up 31-10?

THIS!

Isn't that true for 90% of FCS QB's?

I'm guessing Baldwin is gone soon. Oregon has gone bad in the post Chip Kelly era, playing well with his recruits the year he left and down after that. Not sure if that's spot for him but it's interesting.

I gotta look at the replay. I didn't think he was trying to flip it but got juggled and just lost it. Btw, where can I see a replay of the game?

Or the NAU fumble in the 3rd quarter that was called an incomplete forward pass. I did not see anything but a fumble on that one.

I'm curious if they CAN show the replay being reviewed as I don't think they ever have.

I appreciate your passion for this topic, but I don't know that there's much we on this message board can do assuming most of us have tix and attend games. I would love to see more there, but having reflected on yesterday's comeback, I was thrilled with the noise in the Alerus yesterday in the 4th quarter. Maybe the fans we have are passionate enough to make up for a couple of thousand who weren't there.

If you like watching a kid do some smashmouth blocking as a FB, check out Tyler Zirpoli's Hudl video. He was on campus for yesterday's game.

Ya, west side ref was not in game mode today. I did not see the beer shower when Harris ran it in as I was scanning the field for a flag, so concerned was I that it was going to be called back like other big plays. Btw, a friend sat with us on our side of the field (AA on visitor's side). He had tix a couple weeks ago on the other side and actually tweeted that the sound was way too loud on that side. So it's only on UND's side I guess.

Btw, I thought we had a couple of chances at blocking punts today. Got close a couple of times.

Yup...my bad.

Most thrilling game I've seen in a long time. Bad officiating (including a kind no push call on us at the end) but 2 great teams going hard at it from start to finish.n But what's the issue with opening drives for the D? By my count it's the 3rd straight game the opposition scored (rather methodically) on the opening drive. Otherwise, they just gutted it out; I have been a critic of Studs but today he was a man, a leader, a championship QB. Any idea if Rich could make it back for playoffs?

Lots of Santiago draws?

Many have said that certain media entities need to plug the game, but how much do people, who may go to a football game, really need the media to pump them up for it? Either you are aware of the fine work the team has done, because you've been following them or you aren't aware of it. If a person hasn't been following the team, do you think they will have an epiphany this week and think, "Gotta go to that one."? The historical attendance tracking that was published earlier indicates that even in the "glory" years this was not a 10,000 person crowd for this game. Thus, I'm not getting too upset if people don't show. Winning a conference and then a playoff game will help boost attendance next year though. I have season tix this year and will for a long time.

It was, but I saw something on Saturday or Sunday too. I follow lots of UND twitter accounts, but not sure where I saw it.

I saw something on Twitter about a green out.

I don't get it. And therefore, I'm not offended by it, but I'm in my 50's and often do trial work so my ability to be offended was lost years ago.

I If that were true, then why not just can him for the rest of season. It would appease the folks who want that and allegedly send a message to the team.

Yeah, he's been a warrior and our best OL man in my opinion. Hope it's not a broken bone though he could pull off the Bob Kuechenberg v Vikings Super Bowl where he wore a cast the whole game.

I worry about all recruits until they are on campus, but especially about Ott. He has GREAT reasons to come to UND, and I hope he doesn't change his mind.
