    Are there ways to get out there from NYC without renting a car?  Not familiar with that area at all

    Looks like you can take the train and get fairly close and then taxi.  We took the Long Island RR to Stony Brook which is about an hour farther away from NYC.  Went from Penn Station and had one train change along the way but was pretty easy.

    UND adds 12th and final game to the schedule. Long Island University home and home ..

    Was hoping for a bigger name but this will do. Long Island University did beat Eastern Michigan (FBS) last season and is an up and comer …

    Addition of home and home with Long Island University

    Would be a fun trip.  Went to Stony Brook a number of years ago for the game.  Was a good excuse to see NYC and have a weekend getaway on top of the game.

    Every year when a couple good UND players enter the portal,  we all often freak out, which is probably normal. But its never really been a huge landslide of important players leaving, even under Bubba. I could be wrong, but I think most if not every year.....in the end we came out as a net positive in the portal, or at least even. I'm sure it will eventually happen where we end up in a worse spot, but thinking more times than not it will be a net positive...especially under Schmidt, and now with all of the nice facilities. 

    Some guys over the years will probably jump to FBS, it'll happen. Just dont want really good players to go to another FCS team. 

    I'd like to see some more "Hey, we're coming back" posts like we got from the OL from guys like Jerry, Lance.........

    Couple of confirmed visits starting today:

     

    It is quite telling that we are having visits and not necessarily tying them to big hockey or basketball weekends.  If we can get kids to see our facilities and meet with the staff, I think we'll win a lot of recruiting battles.

    Two great young men to build around, including one from … dare I say it …. Detroit Lakes, MN…

    Cariveau's father and grandparents from EGF so the Eastsiders happily claim him too.

    Isaac Cariveau and Grant Noland both on FCS Freshman All-American team. 

    I learned at the HOF weekend that Grant Noland is grandson of Terry Noland who was D Coordinator at UND 1980-83 and then had a long successful career as HC at Central Missouri .  Their fb office complex is named for Terry.  Terry was well liked and charismatic at UND and very good coach.

  7. It’s hard for me to pretend that we can keep our players if FBS schools really want them. Minimum $3M for a middling program like MN to retain 3 players. Can’t believe this is sustainable in long run.

    It used to bother me because I felt that they were betraying their teammates, coaches, the support staff that helped them with logistics and academics and The Flagship, now I'm numb to it, which is probably a good thing. 

    Unfortunately I’m still in stage 1 and it still bothers me.

    Anyone can find Schmidt's post game comments on YouTube.

    As to losing the identity he meant the running game and how that redressed over the season. Sawyer also said that in the last few game they couldn't get 6 yards running on first downs.

     

    A lot of regression with the offense late in the year. Play calling, QB play, OL effectiveness.  It all contributed to the downturn.

    No one told our player to do that. His mistake was he was running toward the punter and jumped up to block the kick and landed on the blocker. That is also a penalty. It looked worse cuz blocker upended him. Still a penalty on us.
    You tend to assume every mistake by a player on special teams is a coaches fault. It isn’t. Just in case you want to blame Kostich for the fake punt, he doesn’t make that call, even if he thought it would work. 

     

    Per Herald article Schmidt says they coached this point a lot.  He falls on the sword but.........

    "We've talked about those things in fall camp," Schmidt said. "You can't leap the shield. You could run through the shield. You can't jump over it. As soon as I saw it it, it was like you can't do that. We've got to do a better job of coaching that. It's obviously not something we asked him to do. It was in the heat of the moment."

    I will say it for the 30th time.   Unds OL is nothing special.  I know everyone here thinks they are the cream of the crop but they’re not.  That was a lot of the issue this year.  They never really got any push.  Z is awesome but quite sure even Z couldn’t move the chains today. I do agree tho.  He was given no chances .  Just like the TEs that we supposedly have.  The offense is just an absolute mess in every way 

    You are correct, the OL was pretty good at times but not special. 

    This was most obvious against the big boy DLs we played late in the like the SUs.  We really didn't move them at all.

    It’s a QB/OC thing …

    I suspect there will be change/transition 

    the last 6 games hurt the soul 

    Need a qb coach with some chops.  Gotta be willing to spend some $$$ I'd guess.

    Hedberg was at UND 1996-1998 and left to take SCSU head job.  Too bad we didn't get him back when he left SIU.

    Kind of like when we roughed the punter in playoff game against Richmond.  When punt return team went on field they were told, whatever you do, don't run into the kicker.  Kid got caught in between and got penalty for hitting kicker and kept big drive alive for them.  

    Sometimes kids do stuff in heat of moment, trying to make a play.

    I mean I don’t disagree 

    I'd be on board with Josh Morton if AD change.  Experience at UND, then Mich St and now Augustana.  

    Dealt with him a few times when he was at UND.  I'm a nobody in the world of donors and UND athletics and he couldn't have been better to me.
