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.

How Prairie View look for speed in comparison to them/us?

Jury's still out on Geno, too.

Thanks for the info and insight! Sounds like both our teams are very very young. Good luck, Yotes

Love this quote about UND from the La. Tech coach. Wasn't long ago that this is what folks would have been saying about the team from Fargo, and not us. Word is getting around. "Tonight our team showed togetherness and the desire to compete for every point against a very talented team – a team with a very strong volleyball history," head coach Adriano de Souza noted. "Even trailing 2-0 in the match, we were still leading in kills. Missed serves, some hitting errors and missed opportunities in counter attack were what hurt us tonight. I like the steps our team is taking in order to consistently compete intelligently and harder for every point."

The new Williams kid, transfer from UCONN, is a treat to watch. If you can get out to the Betty this year, she is worth the price of admission, and the way she tandems with Jordan is lethal. The new setter from Finland is getting in sync with the others. Nieukirk and Ahrens are learning fast on their feet... both can kill with authority. Also, the game has really slowed down for Lydia Rutton, and she is far more dominant than she ever was last year. Lastly, pay attention to Williams (No. 0) when Pryor lets her jump serve, which was basically all match today. Her serve is almost impossible to handle. Two times she rattled off like 8-9 services in a row with 2-3 aces each time. Pryor tried this a couple years ago with the young Dominguez defensive specialist. Whereas, she was 50/50 to put it in the net, Williams will put it in the net now and again -- but she is far more consistent with a lot more heat behind it.
