I was a kicker at UND. They do need to get out at halftime and get some reps in but no reason can't co-exist with the band. I wasn't paying close attention but I did see the punters kicking across the field toward the visitors bench to avoid the band. Kickers could just hit some shorter stuff until the band clears. Omaha had bleachers behind end zones when I played. It was before teams put up nets behind the goal posts. During pregame warmups I hit a college girl right in the face. I felt awful about it.

Wondering what happened to the garbage in the student lot last game. Usually when we drive out we go around that area because of all the cans, water bottles and other garbage on the ground. Last Saturday it was pretty clean. Guessing a crew came in cleaned up during the game or else the students miraculously found the garbage cans.

our corner in 209 was pretty full but directly across from us next to the band was completely empty

In front of us. 3 different played pushed it away

Read the article I linked. Is very interesting. They tried hard to get the snow off. Shovels and fire hoses. Center section depressed a little so fire hose water collected there and made it worse so had to stop.

They did not shoot holes in the roof to cause it to collapse. Three panels had collapsed due to heavy snow and wind. They eventually shot holes with a shotgun slug in two additional panels to prevent uncontrolled collapse and protect workers who would be on the roof - per AI overview. interesting read here. some of it from perspective of the maintenance guys working that night that tried to keep it from coming down. https://www.vikings.com/news/longform/metrodome-roof-collapse-2010-aftermath I was in the dome when it almost came down during a Twins game in April 1986. Thunderstorm with 80 mph winds tore a hole over RF. The wind gust pushed RF side of roof in and the opposite side bulged out. Water came pouring in and sensors on the bulging side went off thinking that the roof was over-inflated, dropping the air pressure making it even worse. The roof began to deflate and sag and the lights and speaker panels started swaying wildly. It was crazy and very scary. We were in LF bleachers near he field. People in that section went to to top and stopped to watch once they were safely under the overhang from the upper deck, blocking the exits. We couldn't get out and were stuck there until they got it under control. Some people jumped onto the field and ran into the dugouts. They played after a delay but we got the hell out of there. I can still hear Bob Casey on the PA. - Don't worry fans, even if the roof comes down it can't touch the seats so you are safe. A minute later - EVACUATE THE UPPER DECK! EVACUATE THE UPPER DECK!

Been to 2 of them but not Idaho St. Yuck and yuck. Liked that the UNI Dome had Teflon translucent section in center of roof. I know they did work on the roof recently to add a Teflon covering but wondering if it always had a section that allowed some light in. Anybody know? I think something like that would be a nice improvement to the Alerus when the time comes.

Heard today from OL parent that there’s a chance that Caleb Olson could be back this year.

Bubba said Sulik grew 2” between time he signed and when he got to campus.

Our play sequence when 2nd and 1 on 6 was bad. Took 2 penalties on YSU for us to score. only thing dumber was their play calling when 2nd and 1 on 5 late in game.

Agree but not in his control

True freshman corner and they’re picking on him. How about some safety help.

They catch a long pass and we drop it. The difference this half

Not sure it’s even a rule anymore. Never called

On UNDFootball 360 Schmidt said their QB has a knack for working way to sideline and stepping out of bounds without taking many hits. Hopefully we can counteract that and put some licks on him when he runs.
