I love the call. hate the result.. On to the Potato Bowl.

We are better than our record. Our DBs look to be on the right track.

The grass is ALWAYS greener ..... for a lot of our Siouxsports friends. They mean well.

I'm wearing mine at work today and getting a lot of positive comments. I purchased two long sleeved shirts (black with with green and white logo, the other green with white and black lettering.) I also got two caps (a white one and a green one)... all at the UND bookstore.

Deion Harris. Yes, a pick 6 against a rattled QB.

It's game day!!!!!

Details, details.... No, really, thanks for the good info!

I think she has family connections to the local family that owns Whalen's Moving here in Grand Forks.

Tell him to tone it down a bit. We don't want to see the Badgers or any of the rest of the Big 10 come pay "a visit."

It was pretty packed! Lots of green and white!

UND SWEEPS!!!! Takes set 3. 25-18.

UND takes set 2. 25-12.

UND takes set 1. 25-17. Against UNO.

Not sure...his 40-time was in the 4.6s on his recruiting film, but I don't trust recruiting times all that much. What I know is what I have seen in person and he definitely is able to create separation with his legs, his upper body strength and his ability to go up high to get balls. He passes the eye test on the practice field but it's yet to be seen if that translates into ability on Saturdays. This is what the UND coaches said about what drew them to Cloyd at a recruiting camp at Iowa State: Kostich said in a different scenario or recruiting class Cloyd might receive FBS attention. Instead, he was lost in the shuffle at an Iowa State recruitment camp where Fighting Hawks assistant coaches Kostich, Joel Schwenzfeier and Carl Reinholz were eyeing the prospect and were impressed with his 40-yard dash time.

No worries at all. I do think he has all the potential to give JK's stats a run for its money if he dedicates himself to UND FB and Bubba's mindset. Sky's the limit. So not exactly "preposterous" but the onus is on Alex to turn potential greatness into reality.

I would say my comment is based on potential. He's got all the tools, just needs to learn the system. Plus he'll only get bigger and faster.

That's right.... Mercer went down right in front of me with the bum hammy the day it happened. I forgot about that. He was walking on it gingerly but ok afterward, but those things probably feel worse the next day after the adrenaline settles down. I haven't seen him for several days so I was unsure what is status was.

Thanks! I wasn't counting Meeks and Paulson for some reason ... but Comstock was news to me.

QB Prater, 6-2, 205 (Griz); LB Corby Richman (Oriska, N.D.), 6-0, 230; WR Zak Hernandez, 6-0, 195 (Grafton); and San Diego-area prep DE Colton Hessenflow, 6-4, 230, are your school-start additions. Did I miss anyone? Hernandez played spring ball and maybe Richman, if I recall correctly. As for the two deep, after watching much of fall camp, some surprises are Alex Reed getting the nod over Mercer (maybe Mercer needs more time to get acclimated to the offense) I thought Mercer had a better camp. Also, I thought Chris Carter might make the two-deep over Holm. Though CC has had is struggles in the past, I still thought he had a better camp over the rookie. If Cloyd, indeed keeps his RS this year, all I can say is look out Big Sky and maybe all of FCS for the next four seasons.

Yes, it started out as a club team and competed that way for a number of years before being elevated to varsity level.

That's some indepth analysis right there. The only thing missing from key losses was Jawon Arrington.

I just purchased an Xbox 1 for the family and was pleasantly surprised by the ESPN3 capability and all the other "free" tv options. Sounds like PS will soon be coming out with a next gen platform so maybe there will be something that provides ESPN3 and other similar free-to-watch apps.

Intriguing development out of UND Football. (I'm assuming a lot in the next paragraph) Looks like UND will be getting an important insurance policy for next year to keep Boatman's RS intact if Studs can't go for whatever reason. Former Hawaii Rainbows and Montana Griz QB Eric Prater (Lake Havisu City, Ariz., 6-2, #205) should be a school start addition to the Fighting Hawks roster. Prater, a former Special OPS Army Ranger, will have to sit this year out under NCAA transfer rules, but could be ready to back up Studs next season and maybe take the reigns fulltine in 2018, if his play merits it. He should have two more years of eligibility One more interesting side note. Prater was supposed to be the starter against UND last year until he got hurt in practice in the week leading up to the game. This paved the way for Simmons to take the field in lieu of Gustafson.

Sorry, it's taken so long. I am trying to get the new house organized after the move and time got away from me. Thoughts from the last 3 days. 1. The guys are just itching for a game. Their focus hasn't been quite there on the practice field. I think many plsyers have moved on to Stoney Brook. 2. The other day, the special teams were practicing some new wrinkles in the punt game that should make our opponents a bit unsettled. That's all I will say in open forum. 3. Speaking of the punt game .... Dussold looks to be taking the inside track on the starting job. We shall see. 4. Taj Rich is giving it his all everyday, but it just might be the young ILB Donnell Rodgers who eventually gets the keys to the car to play alongside Obrien and Bakker. 5. Clearing Seibel to play earlier than expected is just a formality at this point. # 23 continues to put his MCL and ACL through the gauntlet, pounding hard on the turf and practicing with the rest of his mates. Today, he bolted out on a full sprint on a fly route and had to kick it into another gear to catch up to an overthrown ball from Bartles... Not only did he catch up to it, but he lunged out to snag it. He looks very close to ready. 6. D. Harris has had a very good week doing Harris things with multiple PBUs AND INTs during skelly and team scrimmages. 7. We've heard a lot about how good Toivonnen and Wanzek have looked this fall camp, but I will add another to that list: Easton Erbes out of Breckinridge, Minn. He won't have his shirt pulled but he looks good for a walk on. 8. Pretty certain Holm will have his red shirt pulled, primarily out of necessity. 9. Another area where UND has an embarrassment of riches is at Tight end. You know what your going to get from Steady Eddy Matthewson, but then there's also true freshmen Cloyd and Pinke who are both massive for as young as they are. They just need to get their blocking assignments down. Jacob Francis is another good one and good blocker. Mollberg is looking more like a TE everyday, plus he's so versatile out there if Bubba ever wants to get tricky. Fiedler better do all he can to stay healthy in order to stay in the two-deep hunt. 10. I know I am repeating this but Clive is a black hole for footballs. He just sucks them in. He's just so damn slight. Although he is up 10 Pounds from last year. 11. OL Demon Taylor has been taking it easy this week with an unspecified minor injury. That's given Aplin a lot of opportunity at RG. 12. NFL Scouts are srtarting to shoe up at Memorial Stadium, mostly just doing their due diligence or just-in-case role since their are really no seniors on this squad that are on anyone's NFL radar. The Miami Dolphins visited on Thursday. --END--

I think their fine. To each their own. Hopefully we can end this civil war. Go North Dakota!
