That's not fair. You don't know what's going on in the locker room He is probably trying to figure out what his team needs to hear right now to play better moving forward. I'm guessing they've already been down the 'we suck' road. you've been on enough teams to realize you can only go to that well so many times. Maybe he figures it's time to try another approach and work to convince his team that they can get over the hump.

I watched through the youtube link. bounced between pretty good and blurry good most of the time.

any hope you can set this up again tonight? Even with it being painful to watch last night - I appreciated it.

Pt #1 - conjecture or do you know it was dictated to Bubba? I don't know for sure but knowing Bubba a little I think he made the decision on his own. He gave Rudolf an extra year to right things but I believe that was a mistake.

I'm not sure he was forced to do anything. He made a choice. There's no wonder we aren't hiring high end experienced coaches for these positions with a $40k salary. Need to up our salary pool if we want to attract more experienced coaches. That is on the administration - not Bubba.

It was important to Bubba for us to play them and we had zero leverage.

I was wondering the same thing. I hope so.

talked to one of the offensive staff this summer and they really like Boltman. I hope he gets a shot

I didn't hear that UND wanted Mertens on defense but wouldn't know for sure. I was told by someone close to him that he told Dale that the deciding factor for him was full ride vs. half scholarship

Early signing day is a week from today. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about that.

Their recruiting success over us started back when we were DII and we haven't been able to overcome it During DII - we offered half rides to 72 players where they were able to offer full rides. Mertens told UND the deciding factor was the full ride at SU and Lennon wasn't willing to match that when the rest of the team was on half ride at max When we went DI NDSU was through their transition and we lost some kids because they didn't want to play in a limbo situation for us - Veldman said he picked them because he needed to have something to play for Since then they have been a juggernaut and are getting pretty much everyone they want. I don't know how we break through that

130 points with 3:30 left

I know that the Bohl and SU split was not friendly and he is still bitter at the school.

Same here

Can substitute 'high end recruits' for 'all-conference performers' too. Need to figure out how to win enough to be more attractive to the kids we are recruiting. That's why 3-8 two years ago killed us.

I’m re-upping my 4 season tix.

good example was the toss play we ran. By the end of the season other teams would crash the cb when they saw the pitch, we couldn't get the fb out there to chip him and the play went nowhere. Happened numerous times in the NAU game. The one time we did get a piece of the cb we had a good gain. I don't care if you have to change alignment or put the fb in motion to get him out there earlier - something needed to change. Even if they knew what was coming it would have had a better chance of being successful if we had players in the right position.

Coaches in all sports are reluctant to do this because it could hurt future recruiting.

my point was that if we had used Izzy, McKinney and Santiago (slot) for the speed guys plus Wanzek and Maag we would have been pretty good at wr this year.

Wanzek catches everything and is a stud and Maag might be too. Have a couple of speed guys in Adeoti and McKinney but need to figure out how to get them the ball in space. Santiago in the slot would have changed the complexion too. More of a usage thing in my eyes vs talent level. ran into McKinney's dad in Flagstaff and he told me Cam runs a 4.34. Not sure how accurate that is if true it should be fast enough.

not arguing with that. I just noticed that the punter sped up his delivery. It was obvious at NAU

the snap still seemed to be getting back a little slow at the end of the year but the punter definitely sped up his delivery in the last couple of games.
