UND-1

Wow! He is a hell of a swimmer.

Big time under the radar place to get UND & Fighting Hawks gear = Grand Forks Walmart. One row jam packed with football shirts I have never seen anywhere else, for example. Most of them were under $10, too.

Yes. Now is the time where HS's are beginning their seasons. There might be a few here and there but it will slow down until September/October.

So you are mad that Port found proof of how it really went down instead of letting DB throw people under the bus and issue a fake apology. Got it.

They stream all their home games. And they are free.

We struggled against that cupcake twice now. Last year wasn't a struggle until they got up 21-0 and started looking ahead to NDSU. But the second half was awful.

Shaide could be a school start walk-on, possibly. Denny wanted to transfer to a juco. Not sure where, though.

Not really. Gave a good effort and all under the circumstances but his punting was not nearly adequate enough for FCS level football.

Today. He is not coming to camp, for the 80th time.

That's where I think you are wrong. JJ drove this thing to the end, no doubt whatsoever. Larsen just OK'd it.

Basically, Jeremy Jorgenson turned out to be a huge dumbass, like everyone knows he is. But Larsen had to take the heat for JJ's asinine decision.

He is not coming to camp. Let it go and focus on the OL we got.

Sounds like a wager.

Doesn't mean he is never playing again.

I don't know but these new jerseys rule.

Heard it was made up predominantly of downtown business owners. Word is they think its an outstanding idea to have library downtown.

Seems about right to me. They should be in the 3-5 area, IMO.

That is true and undeniable. I probably shouldn't have called out Faison for the BG game being it was scheduled so far out. I didn't like playing a game like that and my point earlier about NDSU being able to somehow, someway schedule ideal teams is the point.

To sum it up, I do think UND can win the game. Don't like the matchup vs. their offense because of our shortcomings at corner but I do think their offense will be down this year a bit due to the losses and coaching change. Will take time to gel. Like I said before, UND's offense needs to win the game through ball control and a demoralizing running attack.

Sam Houston is slowing it down more under Keeler. Simple spread. Who said Bubba wasn't supposed to actually win the games on the schedule? Meh. Regarding NDSU's FBS scheduling philosophy, which made their program, GT and CB came out after a few years and flat out stated they try and schedule games where they matchup well and are winnable. Minnesota Ball State, Central Michigan, Wyoming, Iowa State, Minnesota, Colorado State, Kansas, Kansas State. Most all of those teams were normal/slower paced teams with average offenses. Midwest type of teams. Very similar to Wyoming last year.

I should have stated Bowling Green type of "offenses". My apologies. We will reconvene after the game and see how it went. I know what our offense can do to them.

Listen people, did I say to not schedule SPREAD teams? No. I said hyper speed, spread you out, and go as fast as possible type of teams. And it's the truth as much as you want to be hero's and act like UND is supposed to play anybody and everybody. Once again, Spread is an offense. The speed and the way they run it is another. Weber runs the spread but did not have the horses or speed that say, Montana did.

Test your weaknesses vs. an FBS team? OK. That is not how it works. You try and schedule to win the game (or get paid a boatload of money), not test your weaknesses. The point is UND is not built to hang with Bowling Green type of teams offenses and that is flat-out undeniable.

Spread is the offense. The speed and intent of the offense is another. If I am UND I try to avoid any program that wants or wanted to play at a hyper-speed, like BG does. That style of play and success led to their current AD wanting to keep that style and he hired accordingly. Maybe it was a bit much to ask Faison to project but it is possible to narrow it down and try to find ideal type of program. Gene Taylor made a career out of it.
