    Check out our OL and DL in these clips, skill players too actually. Damn that was a good team.

     

    The OL push on the first play is amazing.

    Of course the chant has been going on for decades and I dont see it going away. Especially when you still have the pro sioux crowd.

    It's not going away but the above in bold has nothing to do with it.   pinning the continuation of the chant on the pro sioux crowd is disingenuous.

    kind of agree but my guess is 1/3 of the people attending games (not just UND but NDSU as weel, like my father) would not know how to view a program online. 

    like my sister said - there are a lot of flip phones in the Alerus too.

    Waste of ink maybe.  Paper is recyclable.  If it's truly costing the school that much money, raise the cost a buck or two.  

    Not sure how wifi is in the arena this year, but historically it's been very difficult to access internet while at the games.  Hopefully they improved it if we need to rely on it in order to access the game day program.

    just opened the digital program from Drake game.  would be tough to read at the game on a phone.  lots of old people that couldn't manage that at all.

    I don’t think we should have Maag Toivonen and Wanzek all out there at the same time. Need some speed out there.

    wondering your opinion on why McKinney doesn't seem to be able to fill the burner WR role.

    I know he is playing a lot of rb this year but has played wr also.

    One school believes in continued excellence......and the other believes in continued mediocrity.  The gap is just as big as it was in 2015.  Bubba needs to go if UND ever wants to be more than a 6-5 or 7-4 team.

    We are in a tough spot right now.  We got a late start with the DI transition,  When we finally transitioned we started off in a big hole and it's been tough to catch up.

    I'm don't believe in continued mediocrity but am also not convinced Bubba can't get it turned around.

    Most of the tickets being sold are being sold by Bison fans. Nothing wrong with that, but it does indicate that at least those Bison fans are not that enthusiastic about seeing the game. If every Bison ticket holder held on to his/her tickets there wouldn't be a secondary market.

    It would be hard for it to be any other way since most (or nearly all) of the tickets are owned by Bison fans.  I believe UND was allotted 500 tickets or so. It would be a heck of a story if it was UND fans selling Bison fan's season tickets.

    Why do UND fans cling to the hope that they are considered NDSU's rivals so desperately?

    Its very odd.

    and yet here you are on a UND fan board in the middle of a football discussion and have posted on it how many times?

    Drake 8545 announced.

    Half of our tailgating group was out of town. 

    Went to Blue Moose Friday night and maybe 20 people in there.  GF is empty on the holiday weekend.

    Phony - I don't believe a word this guy says.

    Exactly right.  When I saw the SDSU OC tell his kids it was his fault on the sidelines it looked like he believed it and was taking responsibility.

    After the game Fleck said similar things from the podium about him owning the things that they didn't do well.  He said "that's on me' 3 or 4 times but was just flinging bs.

    In the past he would say things like that and then follow up with the reasons why they happened and it always pointed back to the previous coaches.

    I received my tailgating tix but not my game tix.

    Crisis averted. Tailgate passes came in mail today. 

    Cant wait for Saturday

  12. One critical question regarding the 2019 season - has anyone received their tailgating passes yet?

    I got my game tix last week but haven't seen my tailgating passes.

    I was there too, it was horrible. With the odd scheduling I had been waiting about four years to drive up for that game. Happen to run into my next door neighbors from Dickinson growing up though at the tailgating that I hadn’t seen in over 30 years though so at least that was good

    I was there too and it was probably the worst game I have ever attended.   

    It was like a nightmare happening in slow motion.

    For elite hockey on West Coast, we have kids flying in on weekends!  Tier 1 elite this spring/summer my son had kids on his roster from:  California, Arizona, Texas, and Colorado.  Tryouts had kids from Nevada and Washington too.  It’s really crazy.   

     

     

    that's unreal

    No doubt a tougher schedule.  It’s so hard, and as a parent of an elite player, it’s crazy hard.  I haven’t seen him play, but if he’s ballpark his old man- whom I played against- he has a legit shot at NTDP, which might be what they are trying to prep for.

    I do have to say that I am not a fan of hs kids transferring for athletics.  That's what college is for.

    I don't have any experience with being the parent of an elite player but I do as a parent of a good player who was displaced by kids that transferred.   We had 5, 4 and 3 kids transfer to play basketball at my son's grade level during his freshman, sophomore and junior years.  12 new players that weren't there when the local kids were in 8th grade.  That doesn't even count the ones that came in the grades around him.  We had 40 kids playing travel basketball in his 8th grade class with two top playing at the top 'A' level.  By their senior year there was only one still playing and he was on the jv.

    Most of those kids didn't move into the district but claimed hardship or faked an address to get in.  I have heard of parents who have had 'marital problems' and the father moves into an apartment in the desired district.  After the child's sports season is done they miraculously reconciled and he moved back into the family home.

    That's an extreme example but if one or two come in it has a big impact on one or two local players and their families.
