I haven't verified it yet. But hearing that NDAC fall 2023 enrollment is down overall by 2.4% to 11,952....with new freshman down 11.9% from last year.

If the media doesn't ask about it and report on the official numbers first, then I would expect the news to come out more publicly at the Chamber's Wake up to UND event on Tuesday.

Sorry all! Been out of the loop for a few days. UND's Census Day enrollment came in at 14,172 -- 296 students more than Census Day 2022, about 2.13 percent higher. Inside the numbers, UND also saw increases in new freshman, new transfers, new grad students, as well as total undergrad and total grad.

Remain the same if we win (because Boise will be considered sh!te at that point). Drop to 20-25 if we lose close. Drop out of all polls if we lose by 3 scores or more. I predict a win. 24-16 Hawks! Edit: Oh, and NDAC will drop some in the coaches' poll if the Hawks lose because the FCS water boys who actually fill out the polls are clueless.

Nice analyses! From what I understand, KK was playing injured last year. Even more so than this year.

who cares!? Just win!

Early scouting of NAU, I see: They Used 3 young QBs against Arizona . Millner #2 appears to be their primary signal caller and is more dual threat Flores #7 will also run on occasion. SMU drop down RB TJ McDaniel # 1 will be a handful, both as traditional running back and a receiver out of the backfield WR Owen #6 is back for more. Speedy with good hands Used much the same way we use Caden Dennis and Red. #17 freshman DB surprisingly good for such a lanky slight dude. All over the field. Good tackler and will be looking to wedge through to block kicks. Huge NT #90 is quick on the feet for his size. When not bull rushing the middle, he likes to stunt around left side. Defense has a propensity for stupid penalties of the 15 yard variety. 28-20 UND. With a tip of the hat to a loud and proud Potato Bowl crowd.

Reynolds?

Better sharpen those gardening shears. That’s a whole lotta hedging.

I love this and mosly agree. The problem, however, with our fan base, and the pollsters for that matter, is that once WE beat these teams, their stature is diminished in everyone’s eyes. Simply because it was us. The big win eventually becomes just a win. I see the same dynamic playing out in recruiting. Once another team gets someone, that player suddenly becomes a pre-season all american in the eyes of our fan base. When we win a recruiting battle and get a scholarship player, we immediately question what other offers they had, did the other programs back off and pull their offers, are they bringing a lingering injury with them, are they an academic or behavioral hard case, or whether theiy’re even worthy of a DI program. Sometimes we are our own worst critics With friends like us… who needs AC fans?

True. That’s the problem, though, with strong knee jerk reactions. Got to let things play out sometimes and allow for in-game adjustments. Although the sudden resurrections of all the cliff jumpers during game threads is, at least, entertaining.

Nothing. I was giving you a compliment. You’ve had much crappier takes.

This wasn’t even one of your crappier takes.

Lance Rucker looked the part out there as a true freshman.

Tommy Two step!!

Actually up 2.59% Every student counts. UND is +350 student headcount compared to first day last fall. Headcount traditionally grows from first day to Census Day.

Idaho would give AC a bit of a run this year, me thinks.

I'd kinda enjoy watching those two clowns going at it on here. Sadly they never do. Two principled idiots at each other's throats. Pass the popcorn!

This is totally a bit.

But that’s all in your head. It’s not consistently true They all have demonstrated superiority in all those things on occasion. You can’t base how anyone will play against a D1 defense — non scholly or otherwise — on a HUDL tape where your facing a defense of state All Stars or Insta highlights from fall camp that are hand selected to be used for highlight reels. The sample size is just too small. He’s going to be good some day. But his time is not now. In the immortal words of UND-FB-Fan, if his time was now. … I would be concerned.

You should probably go mop the play area before the noon drive-thru rush.

Jerry's not ready yet.

They'll use the 4 strategically unless major injuries occur. He'll be even better after a year of winter weights and spring ball. He also has a cannon for an arm, if ever needed in a pinch or some trick-eration.

That’s what I said. But he’s that good now.

Maybe still getting comfy with the routes/playbook. Maybe a minor injury. Lots of things could be at play here.
