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.

Thanks for the insight. Will need to play well to win Saturday

Seems like we've always had trouble containing good running quarterbacks. Hoping the change of D alignment will help with this. If we spy him - hoping we have someone as fast as he is or it does no good.

Seeing that MN will have an NIL fund of $15M for football this year - an average of $150k+ per player to spread around. Some will get more and most less but that is a big number to try to compete with and would appeal to most kids.

My 3 teacher kids always hang the UND schedule posters in their classrooms. I brought these for them but they passed cuz didn’t want their students having an excuse to use phones in class.

If you follow the link and look at Offense and Defense you will see that all the big names are included. Just didn't make the top of ST rankings.

Here’s another defense of Kostich. Per Hero sports and PFF, UND with top rated ST in FCS.

Kickers are a strange breed - I know as I was one. It can come back pretty fast for him and he has been better the last few games. A little recency bias here because his stats last year were actually pretty good. From the MVFC web page UND was 14/19 on fg. Tied for 3rd in % at 73.7% UND was 44/45 on XPT. 97.8%

You’ve heard it loud and clear but choose to pretend not to understand. Last time for me - it’s the ad nauseam part that’s really old.

I think obvious to everyone who pays attention on here. You won’t give the kid a break and take shots at him every chance you get. Wondering if more than fb involved.

It's been reported that UM men's basketball had about $1.2M last year. $500k went to Dawson Garcia and the rest was spread around the roster. Also has been said that is why they couldn't compete - $1.2M is not enough which is crazy. I think Nico Medved was promised $5M for this year in NIL - not including the house settlement money. With the house settlement they have $20.5M extra from the school to spread among the sports. I don't think it is technically NIL but gets to the players similarly. Just under 75% of that to football, just under 25% to men's bb and a little to Volleyball, men's hockey and maybe women's bb.

Excellent.

And also - did he or someone in his family hurt you somehow?

FG was partially blocked I think. could have been a myriad of things that caused it. Did you watch the game? I was there and it was pretty obvious what they were trying to do. Ran Simon on a pass play in the left flat on first down for a short gain. Nothing to see there, he was just another WR. The next play they ran him on toss-reverse flea flicker type play hoping to catch UNI off guard for a pass. UNI sniffed it out and nobody to throw to so he ate it. Collectively we all love Schmitty and trust his judgement, at least most do compared to people on a message board. He couldn't have spoken more highly of Kostich in an interview a few weeks ago. Was on UNDFootball 360 podcast I think. Schmitty said he was special teams coordinator the last few years and knows what all goes into it and Kostich is one of the best. All the coaches he hired have some ST experience and they all work together to make ST successful They went to a coaches conference with all the big boys from P4 this summer where special teams tactics and strategies were presented and discussed. He was impressed with Kostich who stood right in there with the all of them and was as knowledgeable as anyone there.
