homer

That's not really a bold prediction for many reasons

Congrats to Schmidty. Hopefully we can fill the remaining staff quickly, evaluate the needs for next season and finish recruiting strong before getting into spring.

No thanks

Yeah, so what does that have to do with us losing to UNC? I'm not going to be running to the UNC board talking about how much better we are than them.

Is like to see a quote where anyone said this.

unlikely

amazing what happens when we make the extra pass. Two posessions in a row

This

He was fun to watch. Wish him well in his recovery if its true he is having surgery.

Is he tweeting about the 1st, 2nd or final time he left the team? Just curious.

I'm hoping our defense improves statistically just because our offensive philosophy will change and we don't finish the year -20 in turnovers. We did nothing offensively last year to help out our defense. In reading the SIU board it appears they made some changes to their 3-4 over the years as well so I am guessing it will be a little different. Also, if the tackling and effort don't improve next year, we will still be in trouble.

I'll bet they finish middle of the Big Sky next year. I look at the list and see the lost of two players due to transfer that could hurt next season. Nice first post.

Rudolph's offenses were solid at St. Cloud. They always had a consistent running game that set up and effective passing attack. Could have been something that Bubba made note of over the years. He did mention in his press conference that he always kept a list of coaches he coached with or against over the years that he would like to get on his staff if given the opportunity.

Question- I assume Bubba will have final say on the position coaches but does a O or D cordinator generally hire the guys he wants to work work with for those spots or does the head coach put the guys he wants in those spots? I assume tomorrow we will see the names for the cordinators, wondering when we will have a full staff.

^^^^^^^^^^This. Its an area that he coached in for a majority of his career. I'd imagine Schmidt will be coming to UND to be DC, that is a position he could have had at SIU. Does that make UND a destination or an opportunity to get closer to your home area?

Closing date for assistant positions is today. I am guessing we will start to see announcements tomorrow. So far most are pretty confident Schmidt is coming with Bubba to be DC. I'd assume the OC will be someone with head coach experience who will also carry the assistant head coach tag. Thoughts? How about other position coaches? Hopefully these fill up quickly and the coaches give themselves a month to start recruting.

I agree with this. Too much selfish play going on. No defense. Disappointing.

I took UND-1's comment from another and pasted it here. I have heard the same thing from someone pretty near their program. Highly unlikely it affects the outcome of the game on Saturday but there could be some pretty good back and forth between the former and future regimes from my understanding.

You mean let them dribble through the back court and foul a guy who is driving the lane defense? Not even sure why we are running it right now.

Huff is having a terrible game today

Got it down to 10

I say it every week. This team misses Brekke so bad.

If Huff dishes on that fast break its an easy two

We are going to have a chance to cut this to <10 before half.

22-0 run for UNC
