Seldom in our FCS era have I felt we had the best QB of the two teams on the field. This spring I have felt that several times. Accuracy and field presence are his strengths.

I would guess the playbook got a lot smaller once we were up by more than 3 scores.

Correct at the beginning of the game they played them both - perhaps NCAA restricts the playing of the school song, but go watch the highlights of SU VS EW - between the PA announcer screaming "That's another ...." (can't force myself to type it all), and the cannons going off that definitely did not sound like a neutral game site.

Read the thread please, at the time I listed them it had not been shared that the NCAA had restricted them. Pretty sure they did not restrict the playing of the school song, having a game day roster on the UND website or having player visuals on the big screen.

I realize that some of the things missing were due to Covid - but I question that everything on my list falls into that category.

No reason he or other starters should have been in the game with that big of a lead.

Okay I just finished a 15 hour day to make the drive to the game and return home - my choice. I just have to say that we are fortunate that Bubba and his staff are able to bring such quality players to UND when the UND Athletic Department makes it so obvious that there is hockey at #1 and everything else. To me if felt like we were lucky that UND found an intern to turn the lights on at the Alerus because that is about as much effort as they put into this game. Now I realize that some of the lack of atmosphere will be blamed on spring ball and Covid, but my gosh: No printed player roster - could they not have printed a thousand double sided sheets of paper with the player roster. Okay so they want us to go online to get it. Guess what the online roster was not updated for this game - the only one available was from over a month ago. No band - yes I know it's spring ball and probably tough to get a student band together - but they couldn't get a couple dozen students for a pep band? Never got to a hockey game - was there a pep band for those home games? School song - Maybe they played a recorded version before the game and I didn't notice, but they definitely did not play it when the team came out at halftime (might have played it at the end of the game I had already hit the road). No inflated helmet - I will give them the benefit of the doubt that this might be an NCAA thing for playoffs but it could also be laziness. No mascot - again I'm sure they will blame it on the spring season, but they spent $50,000 on a costume and they can't find someone to wear it for an NCAA playoff game? No player visuals for the team introduction: this is indefensible, during the pre-game player introductions they sat on a UND logo, no player pictures or names on the big screen - this just screams lazy to me. No senior recognition - I know there are several variables here, not sure who is coming back, usually done at the last regular season game, but come on - this will be the last time some of our seniors play on their home field - no one gave any thought to thanking them on the big screen? I realize players and their parents read here so I want them to know that there are many fans of the football team, but the athletic department really needs to step up their game for sports other than hockey - this is not something new, it has been pointed out for decades.

Didn't take us as long to get recognition in the MVFC as it did in the Big Sky.

I guess we will find out if top level DII players can get us to the top of the Summit. Hoping so.

Someone with a big parking lot needs to arrange for off site taligating!

So which of those is the major upgrade he is looking for?

No matter what I think this was better than your regular spring ball - at least they got some game experience instead of just O vs D.

So UND should be the AQ if SDSU beats NDSU.

Dang - rumor out there that the game might be a Covid casualty - does a 4-1 record qualify for post season?

So constantly going political is allowed for certain people but not others?

Good ones receive many offers - the ones that "accept our offer" are the ones who will in most cases end up signing their LOI.

I think we pretty much got a dumpster full of this over the past year - we know where you all stand.

If it shuts down there is some value in playing the games - better than the usual spring ball.

Hope the best for Sims, JUCOs come with baggage and issues. Fortunately replacing 6 points and 4 rebounds per game should not be difficult.

Do you think it was a typo and he meant "snubbed" on twitter by the coach? His heart was never in it at UND, as evidenced by his initial de-comittment. Some guys don't do well within a system that requires discipline and accountability when they are used to having everyone around them tell them how great they are.

Sorry my bad it was Nate. Looked at his stats and understand his motivation to look on.

Nate (edited) was riding the pine, a hustler and hard worker but appears DI might be a little high for him. He will thrive somewhere in DII. Having his scholarship will be valuable.

Geno got a pass from many in my mind.
