Sorry guys. I will be road tripping to Orlando and back, July 27-Aug. 10. At least no one will blame my reports on being oppo research for other teams, like last year. I think other FCS programs have better things to worry about than injury reports from some armchair blogger in Grand Forks. All that said, maybe I will try to catch some late camp sessions. Hoping there isn't a full contingent of stationary bikers on the sidelines by then.

My picks were meant to be strictly the new incoming frosh. I would have had a slightly different outlook had I included the transfers.

You bet! I put them in my TOP 5 only for immediate impact purposes, with the departure of Taubs and Holmen. What do you know about specialists, anyway?? ( ;

1. Bruner 2. Maag 3. Siegel 4. P/K Peterson 5. L/S Hinders

That’ll show ‘em! “Cold dead hands,” and “Get off my lawn” and all that other stuff, right? Grrrrrr. Now you got me all mad, too!

I'm actually not critical of the women's game in that way. I certainly don't have the exact same expectations for style of play when I go to MBB compared to WBB. They are equally pleasing to me in their own ways, especially if UND is winning. Where I depart from WIH is when I see the sense of entitlement that seems to exude people associated with the former UND program that it was somehow different and that it should have been handled differently than other cut programs: wrestling, baseball, M&W S&D, and the privatizing of MG (to include the recent broaching of a possible endowment plan). Their (many WIH supporters) vitriol is nauseating even for someone like me who attended almost all of their homes games and cheered them on win or lose. "hell hath no fury ..."

Someone other than me said it best.... it feels so good to be recruited. Some just need to revive that feeling again.

Beats me.

Depends on how much UND gets for the land sales. Negotiations have involved the family, to some extent, but mostly the group that's been privately keeping MG afloat the past 2 seasons.

This may need a different thread: http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2018/06/ray-richards-legacy-endures/

I'm ok with TB leaving if his heart's somewhere else. He was talented in spurts but was sometimes erratic with the ball and mistake prone. He came off the bench to spell Geno for a few minutes each game. He may have developed into a more reliable talent for UND had he stuck it out but we'll never know. Best of luck to him and his future!

SDSU Jacks for one. But, yeah, maybe we can get the Herald boys on it. Is Aaron Anderson looking at coaching?

Fair points, for sure. I ran into Chaves the other day and he was saying how when EWU came into the Alerus Center last year without Gubrud and a couple other star players, their coach simply adjusted the game plan to more of a game manager mode with the assumption that they were going to have to eke out a win. The score was 21-14 EWU. I was feeling better about UND after that game until I heard that. Ouch.

Yeah, just think how bad it would have been had we not had our best QB in there, and best inside backers and best secondary guys. er... wait. I know, I know excuses (actually agree with you on the excuses are useless part...doesn't make it suck any less, tho. )

We'd all need to have your diligence, acumen and interpretive talents to get the job done, tho.

Actually, I think LkvlleUNDFan did a nice job of helping many on this board understand that there are things beyond the coaching staff's control when it comes to players' decisions. His/her post, I think, actually will help many move on from Grady and quit bringing him up, which gets us closer to what most of us want anyway.

Argggh... that schtuff just boils my blood. Can't fix stupid or laziness, I guess.

They will still refer to us as "North Dakota State" or the "Bison" but I get your greater point.

It will be "North Dakota" at center court at the Betty, as has been mentioned on here by others already. But that was a side issue, and not the main issue of the most recent meeting. Of greater concern were the contractual arrangements (that JDub27 has done a nice job elaborating on) between UND and REA. The outcome on those discussions will be harder to discern and sort out by those of us scoring at home.

^^^^^^^ I nominate for post of the week. Too funny.

Agreed. Need to build depth and stay healthy. Football is the most watched college sport in the country. It would be huge for UND to get back to our strong tradition of success on the grid iron.

"They" aren't complaining. Some fans of UND are arguing for more love for a program whose growth potential is enormous. "They" admire the tradition of success of MH and aspire to emulate it, per Bubba's own words.

Touché. That was boneheaded on my part. Sorry about that.
