    I am holding out hope that the kickoffs are better at 4,800 feet. Taubs was kicking touchbacks at ISU which is a couple hundred feet lower in elevation. I will watch him in warm ups to see how he long he is kicking.

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

  2. 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.

    There is a kid named Brady. Another named John. Heard they're both pretty decent. Both better options than your banged up #1 QB regardless what you have been running for 2 years.

     

    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

    We have a tent. All who are ready to get in Al and get loud are welcome at our tailgate

    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.

    I've been saying this for awhile. And the people that bring trailers, campers, and custom rigs are the most valuable for the tailgate atmosphere, but costs $60 for four spots on gameday....that same amount of spots at NDSU on gameday.....$20. 

    I haven't tailgated this year.

    $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'd like to see Sections 209 and 210 become General Admission. (end of both sides)  If you want a reserved seat/better seat, buy season tickets or pay ticket window price.  But if you want to bring your kids and their friends, load up the car and pay $5 a head for first come/first serve seating.  

    Hey- my season tickets are in 209. :huh: 

    When there are big plays or situations near the end of the game I follow the play down the walkway.

  7. 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.

    I also went to the Edina game last night (sorry I missed you Siouxperman8!).  I was excited to watch Boltmann.

     

    - There was a question on this board previously about his height.  He's listed at 6'1" but it's hard to tell - the stands are pretty far from the field.  I would not be surprised if he's under 6 feet.

     

    - I spent most of the game comparing him to Keaton since I watched him in high school, too.  In short Boltmann is a superior passer vs. Keaton in high school.  Better accuracy, better decision making.  He plays like a coaches son (which of course he is).  I rate them as equal in arm strength at the same points in their careers.  Boltmann did throw a beautiful deep ball that should have been caught... a gorgeous rainbow that was put in a place where only the receiver could catch it.  Overall Keaton is the superior athlete at the same points in their career.  Keaton was a fantastic running quarterback in high school; lightning quick reflexes and excellent speed... better than most RBs he played with and against.  Boltmann is a good but not great runner... he does enough to evade the rush but is not a consistent threat for huge yardage when he takes off running like Keaton used to.  Overall I really like him and he'll fit well into the UND system.  He has potential to be a multiple year starter.

     

    - I couldn't get a good read on Rickert.  I certainly had my eye on him but because Boltmann spreads the ball around to much it was hard for Rickert to stand out.

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

    Great to hear.  Did you happen to notice his teammate rickert?  If so, how did he look?  Would love to get a package deal 

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

    Here's my best guess. This is going on the assumption that Kennedy has numbers on different scenarios that could either (1) Save money (2) Add Revenue to get to the $1.4 Million (captain obvious, I know). The only thing that would make sense to me, is something happened the week In-between when the Coaches / Athletes gave their speeches and yesterday, that led him to believe that the savings would be there. This is all pretty obvious stuff, but whatever it was (league affiliation, ect) he must have a much better feeling on it as of today, then he did two weeks ago. I just can't imagine there being anything else, other than that. You wouldn't march coaches / athletes for the fun of it, if you knew that wasn't an option.

    It's either that (hoping) or the guy has absolutely no spine and when push come to shove he folds.

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

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

    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.

    FWIW in the post game presser Toivenen hinted that Stanley's injury was not serious. 

    I really hope not.  He seems like a good kid and is a very good football player.  I met him this week in a class I was talking to and he was extremely polite and seemed very bright.
