Which would in essence be no different than being just North Dakota.

No, that would be the nickname fiasco that is doing that. Seriously, the media is always going to give more coverage to something that more people are interested in. Football has been getting a lot of coverage, but not in a positive light, with the dismissal and defection. They probably would be getting more positive coverage had they hung in with the Bison, rather than getting steamrolled.

Yeah, they have used green and white for so long, so why would it be hard to use certain adjectives to differentiate? I think once you state either UND or Red River in an article, people can follow thereafter, and if they can't differentiate by that or the names of some of the athletes, they probably don't care anyway.

Yeah, just like some thought Sioux was a derogatory term for snake in the grass, the term Nodak is used as a derisive term. So if that name came to fruition, would the NCAA take my offense to the name as seriously as they did for the vocal minority?

Could he still play with the Kelowna Rockets, the WHL team that drafted him?

Don't know if they rotate DB's as much as they do linebackers, but it seems like the defense always plays a lot of backups anyway. The term "starter" is only a label, and can change in a minute if you play well when you are in. It's all about performance, as it should be.

To me NoDaks is just as generic as Hawks on top of being redundant.

It shows he scored a goal in the 2 preseason games he played. If you are looking at game stats, he may have sat out a game.

Where do people think that Schlossman will have UND ranked in his preseason listing? Minnesota? I think he will have the Sioux 4th and Minnesota 8th. Think he will have Denver or Duluth as # 1.

Yeah, since Mussman wasn't big into keeping in-state talent, and remembering Iverson trying to recruit other guys to come here, I was thinking he was part of the new regime that was bringing hope to the program. Definitely need to get the discipline back into the program, both on the field and off the field.

Wasn't Iverson one of Bubba's recruits?

But don't you see the irony, that NDSU rubes were whining that people might target Wentz's injury, and they had the questionable hits.

I believe Stumpf trying to twist Studrud's head was pretty blatant, again with no penalty.

Was hoping they could have made it close if they could have had some ball possession and the defense didn't have to be out there the whole game. It was evident early that wasn't going to happen. Knowing that the offensive line didn't give us any time, holes or push, it frustrates me that the coaches thought another athlete could find a hole where there wasn't any. Why pull the redshirt off of Iwarri Smith in that circumstance and trade a season where he should be learning and bulking up for one that will give him the best chance to succeed? Our offensive line needs to get better, and not so sure we have the horses there to let any running backs succeed, much less a bunch of true freshmen.

True definition of a fair weather fan. Heard you jumped off the bandwagon after the Hrkac circus lost to U.S. international, then had to jump back on!

Funny, after all the talk about UND going after Wentz's injury, we see Stumpf trying to rip Studsrud's head off, then take another shot beyond that.

Does Reed look really slow for a kick returner or what?

How can you not even have some quick hit slants where receivers have body position to get a few first downs? Given two seconds, a high school tandem could achieve that. Why is that not at least attempted when they can't do anything else?

It appears that we just have a bunch of fat guys on our offensive line, as you would think when you know what you are going to do, you should have a few plays go your way. On defense, I thought I was watching the Mussman era, playing 10 yards off of receivers with no aggressiveness to try for turnovers. Way too much respect for the Bison. I would much rather get beat being aggressive, so let's at least see if we can win the second half and be competitive when we play to win.

Who would be high on the wish list for UND beyond Fabbro? I would assume Brandon Biro, Eeli Tolvanen, and Shane Bowers. Any others that should be high on our wish list?

Wasn't he up for the "Fighting Hawk" award as well? I know he turned down the "Sundog" award!

Also wondering if Simonson is one that he might be talking about, as he wasn't always in the lineup last year.

I wonder who Schlossman was talking about when he said, "Some of the guys people assume will be out, have looked pretty good".
