I think so.

This Star Tribune column on the MN-SDSU game is pretty funny: link

I think we provided the blueprint for beating Cal Poly--force them to pass, and wear their defense down with the running game. Assuming they finish this game off, USD turned things around pretty well in the last two weeks.

Three years into Brewster's tenure, and IMO Minnesota isn't even a playoff caliber FCS team. Maturi should be taking some serious heat, too.

I would have pulled him. How badly would Southern Illinois beat Minnesota? I'd say by at least two scores.

And it was an unforced fumble. SDSU's missed chip shot field goal in the third quarter is huge right now.

13 SDSU 13 Minnesota 8:27 left in the 4th

13 Minnesota 10 SDSU MN with a defensive score. SDSU qb having a nightmare game. SDSU is pretty impressive on defense.

10 SDSU 6 Minnesota early 2nd quarter SDSU doesn't have a first down yet, and threw an int inside the MN 10, but has managed to score 10 points thanks to defense and special teams. If MN loses, I think Brewster has to be canned--opening the door for Dale Lennon?

Wayne Nelson confirms the Anya-Gafu commitment in today's Herald:

I'd prefer you just read between the lines.

UND's non-starters scored just one point tonight. To put it another way, all but one point was scored by players in either their fourth or fifth year in the program.

74 Green Bay 56 UND final

I'm aware that he apparently committed about a week ago, but it seems odd that he didn't mention the commitment in an article posted yesterday by one of his hometown newspapers. That's why I question how solid the commitment is. When all is said and done, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Northern Iowa (where his brother plays).

I'm not sure how solid of a commitment Turner is, as the following link from the Pioneer Press indicates NDSU may be the favorite but doesn't mention any commitment: http://www.twincities.com/ci_13776525?source=most_emailed I would expect UND to sign a number of offensive linemen as per usual--at least four.

With the news (at least to me) that Evers is actually getting a scholarship, I don't see that we have another one left for next year if everybody returns. I was under the impression that only Haring is a walk-on, and there are currently 11 other underclassmen, plus the four who signed yesterday. Or is that not correct?

Warmack signed with Bemidji State: link

Have you heard anything about whether Burck is still committed to UND?

So apparently Evers is getting a scholarship?

Just listened to the coaches' show, and according to Mussman three "major contributors" haven't practiced this week, and won't travel if they can't practice tomorrow.

We're the lowest-ranked Great West team, and also ranked lower than former NCC football schools Central Washington, UMD, Mankato and UNO. We're also not far ahead of Bemidji State.

I suppose the big difference between then and now was that Lennon could act as something of a safety net, stepping in if things started to spiral.

Does anybody know who was actually calling the defense during the first two years of the co-coordinator situation when Lennon was still here?

Here's what I don't quite understand--we have two defensive coordinators, and one of them also happens to have the title of assistant head coach (MM). So wouldn't it stand to reason that as between the co-coordinators, the one with the assistant head coach title should have more authority? It seems like the opposite has happened here, which seems even stranger considering the fact that the assistant head coach before MM got the title was Mussman himself.

I don't think I was complaining--I was making a factual statement. And I do give money. My comments may not always be 100% positive, but you'd be hard-pressed to find many fans/alums who care more about UND football than I do.
