I guess we just disagree on where the special teams coach makes a difference. I was place kicker for UND for 3 years. The special teams coach had zero impact on whether or not I made a fg/pat other than choosing the holder and snapper - which was critical. Recruiting didn't factor in either as I was a walk on and beat out 3 different recruited kickers win and keep the job. Where they do affect the game is with designing and teaching schemes for protecting for kicks and punts, kick and punt coverage, kick and punt returns and punt block. Today we had game changing plays with a kick return and punt block. We also covered kicks and punts well so the special teams coach had a great day.

Same page them. Kicking game is a little shaky but hoping for the best.

Difference is I’d be hoping he’d make it.

And punt block

Center snapped early?

Kostich gonna Kostich.

I thought I saw him in on one play but wasn't sure

I was at the game too. Nice to have a ‘boring’ win. Definitely took care of business

Nothing to complain about this week so limited posts on here.

42-3. Skokna

Thanks to SIOUX29 for the tix. We will put them to good use.

Sure did. Lots of tix available. I was hoping someone with season tix would be looking to unload them cheap or for free. I always give mine away when I can't use them. I'll delete this post soon but wanted to reply to you first. A couple in our party can't make it now so I'll only need to pick up one at tailgating. Usually pretty easy to do.

Looking for 2 or 3 tix to homecoming fb game.

for sure. Read that Correa told Gray that the Toronto runners couldn't hear directions from 3rd base coach cuz of crowd noise so figured they could pick someone off. Great play by both of them.

Was at the game today. Great atmosphere but pretty stressful for an old guy. Lots of fun.

I guess that's kind of what I was saying. Pied Piper might be the wrong description but Roger was a very dynamic and outgoing coach and the right type of personality for a turnaround for sure. I would say that Bubba is closer to Dale's personality. I base this on my experience with all three of them over the years. I played with Dale and have a fair amount of exposure to all three of them, seeing them at practices, games and interacting with the public at football alumni and other events.

This is 100% true. We don't/won't win very many recruiting battles for the big knockers that would make a difference. I am not sure how we get there either. It's chicken and egg. You don't get a lot of those guys unless you're a consistent winner going deep into the playoffs and you and you go deep in playoffs without those top end players. Better facilities will help but maybe we need a pied piper type coach to get us over the hump. I'm a Bubba backer but he's not that kind of coach.

I didn't realize you were referencing UND. Wasn't aware we pulled it off. That's great

It worked well but said it wasn't perfect. It was probably on the old short AstroTurf so would have been easier to get a good bounce.

For sure were famous for the FumbleRooskie. I just looked it up and they ran the backward bounce pass/double pass against OK in 1982 to help them win. Called it the Bounceroosky.

Distant memory but I think Nebraska or someone ran that play in the '70's. They made sure to meet with the officials ahead of the game to explain what they were going to do so it wouldn't get blown dead inadvertently. Looks like this change in 2005, but previously in HS football you could make 2 forward passes in the same play if the first was caught behind the line of scrimmage. I remember Eden Prairie ran it and had same conversation with referees prior to the game.

If McFeely doesn't think it is a monster game for SU he is hallucinating.

How does including a pic of his sister and referencing her fit into the narrative besides her politics? Not your post but relevant to SooToo's comment.
