True. If it hadn't been a run-a-way, I think we would have a lot more to talk about on here. Carry on!

Bunch a queer eyes for the straight guy on here! Talking fashion instead of Xs and Os, what gives? Maybe with some stiffer competition we'll have substantive things to complain about other than threads and shoes.

I really like the new nickname, but then again, I really liked the Fighting Sioux name, as well ...because.... well, it was UND — the school I love and cherish. End of story for me.

Agree. But the criticizer should also have thick enough skin to take it when they’re criticism is blatantly knee jerk and uninformed, and others point that out. Not pointing at you, so don’t get excited. Just in general. Oh and sometimes it’s just fun to be a fan of a team, and, I know God forbid, borderline on delusional and develop a hankering for the Kool aid, rather than be forced to be an unsympathetic objective observer of a team. Might as well just be a bizon fan in Fighting ng Hawks clothing then. For me, I say, screw that! I like a little delusional hope and passion through thick and thin mixed with my realistic hot takes. Otherwise college sports becomes just a business and not a passion. Might as well be an analyst rather than a Hawks fan. I love being the latter.

Sun Country, United and Delta.

Totally get that. I was as frustrated as most, but it was a phase, obviously... sometimes I wish we'd pump the breaks when we have a situation like that. That's just my wish... people can feel free to say what they want, within reason. For instance, I said early on, based on what I saw at practices, our kicking situation was going to be a rough adventure moving forward. And that has held true. I am not all about sugar coating things, but sometimes these young players just go into a temporary funk. I was just surprised that so many painted with such a broad brush when TT went into his (despite the fact that he was pretty darn good before that).

No worries at all. Everyone has a right to an opinion. I just have a hard time with how quickly some fans jump on these guys in an attempt to be the first to post some hot take or another. I was perplexed at the criticism of TT even when he was struggling because I have seen him in practice and game days do so well. A big agile multisport athlete is never a bad thing to have. The same goes for Aplin. The kid is a beast, he's durable and quietly gets the job done on the line. He's always looked agressive, mean and good to me, even at practice, yet some want to throw him under the bus for some reason or another. Is it because he was a walk-on? Don't get it.

Nice to have some depth for a change. Izzy and Toivonen presumed questionable at best. Time for Maag to take another step. McKinney on sweeps and screens If he can play, put Santiago out wide and get him in space. Stanley only a few games left ... make them count! Greibel introduce yourself to the Big Sky and show us why you were recruited so hard by us and others. (FWIW, I think Mikey is faster than some are giving him credit for. Just hasn't shown it yet. And yes, I have seen him in practice but mostly with a big old cast on his arm, so he was never at full speed) Let's go, Hawks, beat Weber!

Izzy not so good? Gotta get Greibel going for Weber.

It’ll be online tonight. Get with the times!

Ain't that the truth.

I thought he looked OK. That first one where Akem caught it off the top of his helmet was damn flukey. Seigel was with him stride for stride. Albeit limited action, I've certainly seen young freshmen look much worse than he did, and have even seen senior CBs in the past look much worse (e.g. escorting opposing WRs into the end zone). Still the sample size is much too small for me at this point.

I'd like to think our hockey players are classier people than your post above gives them credit for. Go hockey! Go football! Go, All of UND!

Better ask him to take off the oven mits he usually wore when I watched him a bit in fall camp. Maybe he's improved since then but the emphasis on sweeps tells me probably not.

From Story in UND Today: This will help! http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2018/10/family-affair/ Okerlund said it didn’t stop there. Many of the same folks have gobbled up as many as 1,200 football tickets for UND’s game against the University of Montana Grizzlies, set for 1 p.m., Saturday, at the Alerus Center. “Some families have purchased up to 10 tickets for that game,” said Okerlund, assistant director of student involvement and parent programs at UND. The rush on football tickets for Family Weekend didn’t go unnoticed by UND head football coach Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert, who sent Okerlund a handwritten card, thanking her for her role in the surge and exclaiming how great the game will be with all the support from the family members.

During the Cal Poly- Griz broadcast, the color guy said Bobby Hauck inherited a team in the spring that had more wide receivers than Offensive Linemen. Whoa!

My 5 and 6 year old gave Hawk high fives and hugs in the Concourse area. My kids were pretty excited about that.

I’m starting to see FH everywhere around Forks. Sometimes I see a mix of FS and FH on folks — brand confusion be damned, I love the old combined with the new! Best of both worlds. Go UND!

Two things: First, the Sam Houston running back was down on that goal line run, right? Finally got to see a reverse angle on it in this clip. His abdomen at least bounced off the turf before he was in. Secondly, that botched punt was so close to being disastrous. Again, nice to see a reverse angle on it finally -- you could see that his knee was down and hand on the ball with contact from the defender. Good call by stripes.

^^^^^^He/She's right, you know

Thought they'd sand do something that was actually clever like photoshopping some "Texas Hook'em Horns" on ol' Mike. Guess I gave them too much credit.

Shep, hopefully, we can secretly have a Rah Rah session over our offense in Secton 215 on Saturday.

Craig Haley of STATS FCS has us at #22: 1 NDSU 2 JMU 3 SDSU 4 Kennesaw 5 NC A&T 6 EWU 7 Wofford 8 Maine 9 McNeese 10 Nova 11 Elon 12 Jacksonville St 13.

With a ranking comes a target on the back. Two edged sword. This year could be fun!

Coach said they were ticked off from last home game and took it out on Steve McNair U.
