I didn't have a dog in the fight and am worn out from watching those games.

I kicked in Greeley and figured I got 10-15 yards more distance with the elevation. Hopefully he can get touchbacks.

There are many parts to this in my opinion: poor teams for too long. games meant nothing regarding league and post season play. lack of rivalries with teams in the Big Sky essentially no opposing fans in the stands due to travel distance The first two take time to recover from.

He shouldn't have trouble kicking deep into the endzone at Greeley. The ball really flies there.

Agreed. First and goal from 2 us line and we should have pounded our big back 4 times. Instead we go bootleg and get our qb hurt. We tried bootleg again late in game and they were ready for it then too

Forecast now says 10% chance of rain Saturday with high of 43. Should be great tailgating weather. We will be right next to your spot again. Will stop under the tent if it is raining.

$50 per spot for a season pass. I have 3 and it's money well spent. I have more than $150 worth of fun at every game.

I think we need to do something soon with our fb assistant's salaries if we want to keep them long term.

Hey- my season tickets are in 209. When there are big plays or situations near the end of the game I follow the play down the walkway.

We had a couple of chances to really put the game away with late first downs and had holding penalties both times. Without those two penalties we run 2-3 minutes more off the clock at a minimum. The game would have ended quietly if we could have avoided them.

Yep. The funniest part is that they referenced the UND game

If you want to have some fun go and read the UM game thread at gopherpucklive. Start when they were ahead early. "Wowwy, wow wow wow. Where has this team been? This team has skills never displayed before. I almost can't believe the difference. and watch it do down hill from there. "Pride on ice my arse." "That being said, I blame myself for tonight. I blame myself for being optimistic. I blame myself for having a bit of swagger coming into tonight but most of all, i blame BSU for pissing away a 2 goal lead to UND to make this the worst effen night of the young hockey season." Fun stuff

I turned it on and saw the last 20 seconds. Another NCHC win.

Any word on the status of Reyes and Rich for this weekend?

Thanks for the perspective. I didn't see Studsrud play in HS so I have nothing to compare him to.

I didn't notice him but he wasn't on my radar. Sorry.

Boltmann was very good tonight and threw the ball well. To my untrained eye he seemed to have a pretty quick release. Had some zip on the out routes and shorter passes and also decent touch on longer passes over the top, especially for a hs player. His receivers dropped two long passes that would have made his stats better and one would have gone for a TD. Edina mostly ran out of the shotgun and a lot of read option. Boltmann ran the ball very well and took it up the middle for about a 45 yard TD similar to what we have seen Studsrud do. Their entire offense revolved around what he could do. Minnetonka blitzed him a lot and was often too much for their O-line to handle. He hung in there well and continued to make plays. I was impressed.

I'm heading to Edina tonight and will see 2017 QB commit Brock Boltmann play. Will post my "expert" thoughts tonight or tomorrow.

The first paragraph makes the most sense to me. Obviously he can't share all that he knows immediately.

Lou loses a lot of credibility with me in general for being a main spokesman for UM having only MN players and he played for UM but came from Canada himself.

Well ..... Lou has grandsons playing for both UM and RPI so I guess he might be seeing things through red and maroon colored glasses

Everyone should be afraid for the UND season. Lou Nanne was on KFAN today and said he wasn't impressed with UND after seeing them in person. Said D and goaltending weren't strong. Of course he says the goofs will be good. But I know he has no bias.

I am confused by this argument/complaint. There would be a lot more interest and attendance if we were playing our regional rivals rather than schools like Sac St, SUU, Cal Poly, etc. There are some nice names to bring in but I would bet we would draw better in January basketball games vs. SDSU, USD and NDSU rather than Montana, Montana State and Idaho State.

I have to believe that Kennedy has a plan, probably involving the Summit League. It is hard to imagine that he isn't working something in the background.

The only other avenue to saving $$ that I see is to lessen the travel costs. Summit anyone? Also there is talk that the Big Sky would consider us for a football only membership. That would reduce travel costs for their other sports.
