UND Fan

The fact that their coach does not believe in slowing things down at all even with a healthy lead is the main reason for the spread. I wouldn't think it would be that bad against a team with a different philosophy.

I agree - thanks for the positive comment!

There have been some score predictions on the other threads but let's see what people think. TT 66 UND 7 I certainly hope that it is much closer than that!

I don't think that the UND/Tech game will be listed due to the wide spread. I doesn't look like the SU/ISU game will be listed either - I thought that would be.

Great news on the Montana home-and-home! Can someone summarize who is on our 2010 schedule thus far?

Excellent - home and home, I hope? Do you know?

Are you back in Iraq - or was it Afghanistan? How long have you been back there? Wherever you are, thanks for your service!

As I mentioned a few months ago, I really enjoy you guys taking the time to update the countdown. I would guess that it is becoming a pain in the butt but your efforts are appreciated!

You are speaking as if you have a great deal of inside knowledge - what/who is your source for your information?

I fully agree with the last three comments! I think people must think this is a replacement for the Brien logo.

A very good schedule for only our second year in DI - there shouldn't be too much complaining about it this year!

When does fall camp start?

This chidlish banter is getting awfully damn old!

Who is Jeremy Blount?

I realize UND students usually turn out pretty well for FB games but one way to help fill the Alerus is to convince more students to attend. Any ideas as to how that could be done?

The announcement of earlier this week that Russell and Paradine are joining the VB team this fall was welcome news. I see that we have a commitment from Andover's Nikki Husfeldt, a 5'11" setter. She appears to be pretty good - she plays for the top (I think) MN Select 17 y/o team.

I agree with you - there appears to be a lot of talent and good depth on defense. They are young but should be good. Hopefully, they will stay healthy!

The 2009 roster has been posted. No real surprises as far as no-shows! The size of our starting offensive line is very concerning to me: 272, 276, 270, 279 and 290 (average 277). It has been many, many years since our starting group was that small. I would guess that the average DI OL is 300+.

Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is NDSU's spring roster. UND historically does not post the spring roster on its website - I wish they did! Teams do not post their fall rosters this early as there are often players that do not return to school in the fall. It will normally be posted about the time camp opens. At that time, the coaches pretty much know for sure who is returning.

I understand that we should all be prepared for some bad news regarding Murray!

I guess I don't understand how you feel that withholding contributions to the Athletic Department is a way to protest the Administration's and faculty's liberal viewpoints (by the way, I agree with that assessment). Having a weak Athletic Dept at a university only helps the majority of the faculty/leadership who feel there is already too much emphasis and too much $ spent on athletics. Our teams, coaches and athletes have nothing to do with the folks that you are so disappointed in. There are just trying to do their best to win games and represent UND in a positive manner. With very few exception, they do the latter very well! I fully agree that these are tough times - if someone has to cut back on their contributions, I fully understand that. Family must come first!

If you are going to abandon UND, its young athletes and it athletic program, why don't you abandon us now and get off this board. Withholding your support only hurts the students and program!

**************************************************************** I just found some info. Not nearly as many as normal. What happened to Bismarck, etc.? I am also surprised that these aren't being promoted on the fightingsioux.com website. They were promoted there in the past, weren't they?
