I wonder if you felt the same about Joe Haeg. This kid is a good get. So is the Hackel kid. You can’t always tell by PWO vs Scholarship nor by who else offers.

Pawlak is an excellent addition. Danny should be ok. Not sure what happened yesterday, but we obviously need to get better fast. I know where the buck stops but we aren’t good enough to have mental errors, missed assignments, missed tackles. We knew we were missing some oline pieces. Let’s see if these guys can respond. Staff and players. Nothing we can do now about last two games.

He as had talent at QB. I believe Feeney has that ability.

Either or.

He needs the oline to give him plenty of time. He is adequate. Usually won’t cost you the game. Won’t carry team on his back and win it either.

Why isn’t Isaiah Smith getting touches? He is one of the most electric kids we have on offense.

Only if we accept that. Give Sather time. Better yet give him time and fan support. Butts in the seats are a great motivator and great recruiting tool.

She and the Foundation continue to support UND.

Yeah you are right. I thought it was 3rd and 2. He wouldn’t have gotten 5.

Maybe, but He made quick turn upfield and had step on defender and was open with good lead pass over dB. Had he continued to middle of the field he turns toward multiple defenders and clogs up an area that was open for Schuster to run for 3-4yds which he should have done. Schuster had room to run for first down. Indecisive and rushed throw he wasn’t committed to. Unlike Schuster.

If a QB doesn’t “have a very short memory” he will struggle. Schuster won’t win games for us but he hadn’t been losing games. The 4th down call was long past and we are moving the ball deep in their territory. Everything in the minds of players needs to be do their assignment and get the first down. No excuses.

There is so much more to the loss than the 4th down calls. Schuster wasn’t sharp. He made some good plays but wasn’t as sharp as usual. Terrible pass to Bison DB was huge. We were moving ball and likely would have come away with 3 if not 7. Players need to play. Can’t recall good players blaming coaches for anything and everything that goes wrong when I played but these are different times. Those who always blame coaches and whose solution is to fire everyone usually are folks I would never want to go to war with. We are early in the season, played hard yesterday in a game we could have and many of us think should have won. We regroup, heal up, fix our mistakes and move on. We win or lose win the guys we have. I like this staff, I like these kids and where we are headed. It was a great atmosphere, and a good game. There is plenty of room for improvement and plenty we have done to be optimistic about where the program is headed.

I don’t think so. Risk reward didn’t make sense. We were ahead. Defense was playing well. We had been able to move ball but hadn’t run well. They were in FG range with an excellent FG kicker when they got the ball back. If we get the 1st down all we get was another set of downs still deep in our own territory. 1 1/2 yds is tough up the middle. Giving them the ball on our 20 and the int when he could have run for 2yds had he run right away gave them three and cost us 3 or 7. Isaiah Smith is too explosive not to give him more touches. Receivers not running routes to first down distance hurt us a few times. That was a game we can’t afford mistakes like that. Defense played well. Limited them to 3 FG’s til last minute when they started quite a few times with decent field position. Most people don’t care but our punter had a great day. Offense wasn’t consistent enough. Oline didn’t “impose their will” but protected Schuster pretty well. Kids played hard. Can’t make those mistakes against good teams. This game could have gone either way.

To “clarify” your previous post, you did in fact claim no virus had been eradicated. I never compared vaccines. All you have done is show you should not be giving anyone advice regarding anything medical. You don’t know what you are talking about. It isn’t worth commenting on the rest of your goofy post.

This type of post makes it harder for many of us to do our jobs. One of our nurses who was in her 40’s and otherwise healthy bought into this baloney fueled by political rants that have nothing to do with this medical challenge we are facing. First of all you show ignorance of the subject when you claim “no respiratory virus in the history of humans has ever been eradicated so the body needs to learn to fight it at some point or another”. Even a basic science student with any review of viruses and immunology knows smallpox was eradicated through vaccinations by 1979. Today it exists only in laboratories if ever needed again for research. We are close to eliminating polio through vaccines. Polio cases exist in only a handful of countries. I’m not sure how many patients you take care of, but it shouldn’t be any if you spew this nonsense. In the last few days, 8 of the last 12 patients I tested were positive for COVID. 5 were sick with cough, fever, fatigue, body aches, sore throats and a couple with diarrhea. 2 of them had been sick for more than 10 days so didn’t qualify for monoclonal antibody infusion. The other 3 were infused, with good results. Non were vaccinated. Ages were 20, 38, 54, 67, 69. The 2 who waited too long still feel crappy but they are ok. 3 had been vaccinated and felt like they had a cold. One lost sense of taste and smell. 2 who tested negative were vaccinated one wasn’t. At Sanford today over 70 pts were in ICU or on ventilators. Only 3 were vaccinated. Although a small cohort and anecdotal, it is consistent with what physicians are seeing around the world. That is solid evidence supporting vaccination. The vaccines went through all 3 phases of testing. They were tested in thousands of subjects. Over a billion people have been vaccinated. It has been proven very effective. It markedly decreases your chance of getting infected but it’s possible you could still get infected. It almost eliminates the chance you will die from COVID or end up with a serious infection. It is still possible. The chance of blood clots from the J&J is about 7/1000000. The chance of myocarditis from the Pfizer or Moderna is about 2-5/1000000. We can treat the blood clots. The myocarditis usually resolves spontaneously within a couple of weeks. You don’t become immune by going to Packer games or hanging out in large crowds. You become immune by successfully fighting off an infection or by getting vaccinated. You odds of avoiding clots or myocarditis are better if you are vaccinated. PM me if you want a more detailed explanation of how the illness or vaccine stimulate our bodies to produce antibodies. Make a decision about getting vaccinated based on scientific facts and evidence. Make your decision based upon the recommendation from your physician. This isn’t the time to get into alternative treatments or non-physician doctors who aren’t trained to recognize, treat and prevent infectious disease. No one who knows me would mistake me for a left wing liberal. Refusing to be vaccinated is not the way to further one’s political beliefs or causes. The best way to do that, is to stay alive stay healthy and attend your party caucuses this fall. The recommendation for vaccination comes from both Trump and Biden. The research and testing was by medical and scientific researchers from all over the world. Because we don’t like the government mandates or we don’t like the media, or we don’t like the present administration is not a reason to refuse to take care of our health. To allow our dislike for Fauci, Biden, some of the Governors etc to keep us home and let our hockey team and the nation see us abandon our team in the national spotlight because of unfounded fears or politics is sad. We will no longer be able to claim we are the best college hockey fans in the world if our team can’t count on us to sacrifice the inconveniences of getting in the arena or worse yet refusing to get vaccinated.

Depends on whether or not gloves are worn.

You can’t get an STD from “self gratification “. You shouldn’t need to waste money on a test.

The weekend should be a sellout. Lots of alumni, players family’s, activities etc. to deal with. Tougher to focus as much time on recruits. Can also work in you favor if organized well.

Apparently a PWO. Wants to play QB. NDSU wanted him to play defense.

I don’t know, but probably scholarship kid. He is a very versatile athlete. Played QB, RB, DB and receiver. Not sure what position they project him but he is a very good get.

This kid is an outstanding HS FB player. Great recruit. He plays multiple positions, great kid, excellent student. His dad is head FB coach at Frazee, Mn. HS. His Dad was one of most coveted Hs recruits we lost to AC. RB out of Wisconsin. Blew knee early in career, was never the same.

We don’t have any 4.3 forty guys but we have a long list of outstanding athletes that have the ability to change the game.

Doesn’t work that way and shouldn’t.

I don’t think Bubba brings up the Ag School until the week we play them. This is a big game for our program. Utah State probably not Michigan but they are Utah State and it would be a big win.

Too many penalties, but overall a good start. Schuster continues to protect the ball. We didn’t give up a lot of big plays. Run defense was good. Nice mix of run pass. We didn’t blow them out but we dominated after halftime which is always good. Special teams were special. Touchbacks on all KO. No punt returns and most impressive stat was we averaged over 50 yds per punt. Clean up penalties and eliminate drops it would have been a dominant start to season. If we can stay healthy and get better each weak, we can be pretty good.
