Everyone knows the difficulties this team has faced this year. No need for me to recount them here. That's why I picked Weber to win this game. Not because Weber is a good team. They are not a good team. They were winless coming into GF. 0-9. Zero wins.
This is not about Weber, or the next two likely losses vs NAU and UNC.
This is about the absolute disaster this season has become for UND.
Were you sitting in section 215 today?

I actually like the play calling this season. Just don't have the talent to execute it most of the time right now, especially now with the ridiculous number of injuries.
The one thing that is missing that I don't understand is a screen pass. When you have limited talent at WR, proper execution of screen passes can mask a lot of problems.........
I would have loved to see screen in the 4th quarter when Weber was sending about 8 guys every play.
-
Looking forward to seeing the team back at home. It's been a while.

Geez.... I hope no ndsu graduates were injured
Needed some spending money before getting on the plane to Iowa.

I can assure you we wont cancel the Midco contract....to big of a buy out plus I heard the money is already spoken for
so hockey wont be on FSN for 2 years......UNLESS this FSN deal pissed of Midco and they want to end ties with UND
The additional coverage will only drive up the price for the next contract. Midco is not the only one knocking on UNDs door.

UND- 16
Weber- 14

If those comments are true you have to wonder what the mood of the locker room (players) is about the whole situation.
If you tell a coach you are leaving after the season, why would he keep you around? If I was another player, this would let me know that the coaching staff is again making decisions based on what is best for the team. It would have been easy to keep around one of the best offensive players knowing he was leaving but whats the point. Also, if he is leaving, why keep him around the locker room?

I don't think we have experienced this before. Knowing our staff, they will/are going to bring in kids that fit what they are looking for and want the program to be.
The culture if the program will change. This staff is set on doing things like uniform deals, meeting with area coaches, and encouraging staying together in grand forks during the summer. Coaching salaries do not affect that effort.
Things like the IPF and improved facilities will help the players who want to commit themselves. The coaches will expect the same effort and commitment from the players that they are putting forth and that is a huge upgrade from the past.

All I can say is "wow" and "not real shocking".
-
This is outstanding coverage for basketball and in the areas we want it for fan/recruiting exposure.
When is the contract with Midco up and is FSN laying groundwork for something when that contract expires?
-
I believe a lot of those problems recently had to do with concussions. If that's true, then that would be a legitimate reason to quit if he didn't want to deal with that. In either case, we're getting pretty thin if Young is also gone.
Wish him all the best. Serious deal if concussion related.

If a twitter account is accurate, Dev Ferguson is one of them. Our other guess is Casey Young. Young was in a logjam at WR and never beat out anybody ahead of him. We have no idea why Ferguson would quit but to each his own. He is a talented player but had trouble staying on the field. - See more at: http://siouxfb.areavoices.com/2014/10/31/week-9-preview-6-eastern-washington-eagles/#comments
I liked both guys. Hopefully it is a rumor, it would be nice if they could stick it out for 3 more weeks and than evaluate the situation after the season is over. For Dev, the first year is a whirlwind plus he's been dealing with some injuries. Let things settle down and evaluate.

Pretty simplistic thinking but the government and insurance companires don't have a hold on grocery stores and hardware stores like they do on prescrition drug coverages and what pharmacies are able to charge, bill and collect.
So will these small town pharmacies survive evening the measure fails?
-
Obamacare/ACA and this measure passing is a death sentence for locally owned rural pharmacies IMO. Good luck to the 85 year old grandma living on a cattle ranch outside of Bowman who has to race into Dickinson in mid January to refill her meds at Walmart because that's her only option...but wait the meds are now "cheaper" in Dickinson.
Is that 85 year old making that trip in July? If people in rural towns want to keep their pharmacies open, continue to support them. No different than their grocery stores, hardware stores, etc.

It's just a Internet feed like every school puts out and anyone can watch by signing up at the schools web-site. The BSC does do it better by having one location for all it's members & fans.
You left out that it is free, and they also have an app that streams in good quality. So, really it is not like what every school does.
-
Let me put it this way...I know that a locally owned pharmacy in Fargo has lost money for the first time ever last year due to changes in healtcare, i.e. ACA, and if measure 7 passes I have no doubt this state will see a number of small rural town pharmacies go under.
If they are already losing money, how long will they stay open regardless of the outcome of this measure?
-
its about supporting small business in ND. What do you want it to be....id rather pay a few extra bucks and know that money stays in Grand Forks/ my hometown to continue to be spent in the local economy, not to corporate headquarters in Arkansas.
You'd still have that option if it passes. No one would be forcing you to buy you prescriptions at a large, out of state owned pharmacy.

The more I think about Studsrud's shirt being lifted, the less of a problem I have with it. A month/four games of taking every offensive snap, plus all the reps with the number one offense in practice, is probably as much or more experience than any of the other true freshmen who have played all year, simply because the rest are mostly just rotating in every third series or so. If Studsrud is "wasting" a year, couldn't you make the same argument for nearly every other true freshman who has seen the field this year?
The way I look at it we enter spring ball with 2 players with starting experience at the position and there is a chance we enter fall camp with 3 guys. Its time for one of them to pull away and I feel gives the team the best chance to be successful next season.
Now time to fix the o-line.

A lot of rumors floating around Fargo on this. I understand keeping things tight lipped for the investigation but I don't think the Fargo Police Dept has a clue on this. I really can't believe this is the only coverage given to this in the last couple weeks.
-
If guess Studsrud and if they pulled his redshirt, it should be. He needs reps now.
-
I'm fine with pulling the redshirt. I would guess they had a conversation with Studsrud and he was fine with it.
With no consistent running game all year long we put him in a tough spot. Lots to ask of a true freshman, playing without the top two WRs to be effective yesterday.
Disappointing outcome yesterday. Finishing 2-1 down the stretch is a realistic goal.
-
Mess on top on the Big Sky standings. 6 teams with one loss.
Cal Poly is playing good football right now. Beat MSU last night. But I know, they lost at SDSU earlier in the year.

Now Ratelle is hurt. !@#$.

EWU had two really good rbs.
UND VS WSU GDT

A ton of dropped balls yesterday put us in tough down and distances. Our WR had a hard time getting off the line yesterday. It didn't matter if it was first or third down. I didn't think the play calling was bad yesterday. I also think Rudolph is a good coach.
