To add insult to injury. At the ISU home game, I was watching from the north end looking down at the DB nudging Santiago before the ball arrived from Bartles. Clearly a PI but to no avail. It would have given us four more shots to win the game. Refs miss calls. Should not have put it their hands. Coulda, woulda, shoulda... I know... but to be one quarter away from a playoff berth is just maddening. Oh well, fuel for next year.

Also, co-freshmen of year goes to John "So long" Santiago! Amazing that Will Rattelle had more solo tackles (63) than the Big Sky Defensive Player of the year Cowser of SUU had total tackles (62). Area 51, you will be greatly missed!

I know that. Still a transition anda bit of unknown.

and/or USD.

Taubs was just coming off offseason leg surgery. He'll regain his strength by next year. Point is Kicker and punter is an asset not a liability moving forward.

Thanks! I can only go by what our Wiki says.... I thought it was more up to date.

Is Dakota Miller our prized recruiting target at QB? He's a bit smallish in stature but rated 3 star presumably for a reason. His Hudl show he can run and throw, and might be a good fit in Bubba's scheme. He could red shirt and play backup in 2017 and be ready to go for '18. EDIT: I see he has an offer from NAU, too. Miller might not want to back up Cooksus for as long as he'll be around in Flagstaff.

I'm pretty sure Stoney Brook game is in New York, not Alerus Center.

Crandall was fouled on that drive but, hey, gotta finish.... FGCU has for the most part.

This tournament if for the birds -- Hawks, Eagles, Falcons and Penguins!??

very nice post! I would add the Irishman from Ilinois: O'brien -- to the bright spots for the line backing corps.

wiki just had USD.

USD legend Joe Glenn announces his retirement following a drubbing at Illinois State. We play USD first home game next year. Hope this makes TE Cloyd's verbal more solid in that he might not want to de-commit for a program that will be in transition.

Uhhggh oops!

My guess at the starting line up at Stoney Brook next year: Offense: Stockwell, Miller, Aplin, Cox, Grady, Fiedler, Seibel or Georges, Stanley Studsrud Coyne Santiago Defense: Greely, Cielsak, Dranka Labat, Rich, O'Brien, Disterhaupt T. Carter, Reyes, Arnell, T. Harris

It will be nice to be able to focus on fewer position groups this offseason when it comes to recruiting HS, JUCO ands FBS drop downs. SECONDARY, SECONDARY, SECONDARY! -- and hope to get a healthy Arnell back with maybe a medical red shirt, if possible.

Please no offseason defections!

That game might look a lot like we remember the Alerus being in the good old days. A late first game at home (third game overall), traditional rival....might even be Potato Bowl weekend -- Alerus should be rocking! No excuses. Just have to take care of Stoney Brook in Week 1 and be respectable against FBS Bowling Green in Week 2. And the table will be set!

Thank goodness! What'd our bigs end up with?

UND covered, baby! World beaters!!!!

You get my point. Some fans are just more hopeful than others. Nothing wrong with that. To each their own.

Or just a UND fan like most of us are.

Typical scenario....eastern team thinks we can't ball with them because were from the sticks. We hit them in the mouth. They adjust and make a come back. Seen it time and time again. Story of our life.

Well, Shanks has been exposed as soft this half. Watch in the second half for them to bring it inside a lot.
