Historically related to topic: Archie Fool Bear (67), Cannon Ball, ND passed away Thursday September 7. If you know, you know.

Broken record here but it still comes down to OL and DL. Both of those teams looked rock solid and big, not saying we can't "any given Sunday" them and we are moving in the right direction.

I have to think the removal of the inflated helmet and no more tunnel camera was a call made by someone with the team or administration. I can live without the big helmet but the tunnel walk really gets the crowd (and I would think the team) going.

Correct I was there.

There were several Norwegian names offered, but a consulting company from the East Coast could not see the connection. Berserkers was my favorite.

Not a bad review but nothing in there proves they were actually onsite vs just finding info on the Internet and rewriting it.

Not sure of your point - of course it happens, are you hoping this happens again

It happens - your point?

This fan has this perspective We beat NA on their home field The Drake QB was running for his life all game, the only reason we didn't get a sack is he was never in the pocket and threw the ball away. Drake was supposed to be a walk - mission accomplished. We had 10 different players catch a pass, we had a 100 yard rusher. We had three running backs rip off long runs. We had 31 players see the field. Comparative scores are useless, different day, different game. Special teams won us at least one game last year, if not more. Three aspects to every game - offense, defense, special teams - win two of them and you most likely win the game. I see us winning offense and special teams at least. We win by at least two scores. Go Hawks!

What they were recruiting was depth, it's a tough position and ankles, shoulders are gonna take a beating.

Agreed, Z brings a strong pedigree and has been waiting his turn. It's okay for fans to be excited IMO.

Check his background he was top tier running back in Minnesota. He's only a sophomore and has lots of upside. Our backfield is looking good for the future.

Gotta think it might be a staffing issue? Who does the in house production team report to - the Alerus, UND? The team stats on the big screen is a huge miss.

Some on here love to drag up trick plays that didn't work (even if it happened more than five years ago) and forget the ones that did. Yes, they are complicated plays where everything needs to go right and it is quite possible that play does not work against a higher level opponent but it makes them think about it and spend some time on the possibility. Love the call, the game should be fun for the players too.

We had four possessions and scored on two of them.

SU bus on the way to Minneapolis blew a tire.

Game logistics always makes you go huh. No game stats on the scoreboard, sound person plays music full blast while the referee is talking, broken water faucets. It's the little things that make the game atmosphere. Kinda bush league.

The wheels are officially coming off the bison football team bus. Actual video on I-94. 11255.3gp

Missing entirely - highly unlikely, It would be nice to at least see them on the road earlier in the playoffs.

Oops, I will correct.

As a tailgater it's pretty easy to notice visiting fans. SU was noticeable (plus many were noticeable by the chips on their shoulders, SDSU and USD were a blip).

Every school has empty seats even the one to the south, SDSU might be the exception this year.

Based on previous years it's not this coaching teams style to pull starters early - not like we've had too many blow-outs, I seem to remember Bo getting hurt a couple years ago during mop-up time.

(Edited) 10-2 or 9-3. Bigger, more mature O and D lines and Touchdown Tommy in his final year.

This is huge - he brought a lot of experience in recruiting and player relationships to the team - gotta say it reflects well on the administration to give a person another chance, but the situation hasn't changed at UND since he left (in that the head coach is younger than him and thus there really isn't an opportunity to move up at UND).
