    They do, however, have a big impact on who is recruited to kick.  No way our cupboard should be this bare.  And don't even mention our execution on returns.  

    I don't know if the special teams coach recruits the kickers or not.  Back in the day different assistants recruited based on geography.

    Who is our ST coach, cause he isn’t doing his job if our kickers are this horrible. Why isn’t he on the hot seat with Rudy.

    Special teams coaches have very limited impact on the ability of the kickers. 

    Rob Bollinger (among others) was the special teams coach when I played at UND.  He was a great coach and got us in the right positions but kicking is an individual skill.  Maybe things have changed but I rarely, if ever,  heard from him regarding kicking technique.

    A Bubba win:

    - a win
    - lots on the film to work on

    My knocks:

    - 3rd and 25 and a full blitz to give up 50 yards? 
    - 11 and 14 need to bring it in if it hits their hands
    - loss of focus on special teams (go up two scores, give up long return)

    My "improve it" list:

    - I like the reverse rollout action with 8; however, he needs a short and long receiver option
    - tackling, especially in/by the secondary
    - coverage by the DBs

    My "you're fine" list:

    - hey, 27, calm down and relax, let muscle memory do the work

    I think 27 will be fine.  In my experience - with those first few kicks in live action at college level seem to be in hyper speed.  Things will mentally slow down for him quickly.

    And yet Kostich has what could be the BEST TE in the state of MN committed......

    I love the small town kids, but a lot of our guys are not small town kids.  I have seen our TE coach in many situations and I disagree with your assessment.

    Word I got from parent of player who graduated last year is that the players love him. 

    My minimal experience with him has been positive too.

  5. It's probably less than half that have tents.  We don't use one unless rain is expected.  It can get pretty windy in GF so tents can be a problem on some days unless you have a good one.

    I got a telescoping flagpole on Amazon that holds two flags and it works pretty well.

    Their preview was just published August 3rd, so it may take time for their clicks to catch up (or they may just not have very active fans).

    Thanks.  Didn't realize how the rankings were compiled.

    The way the program budget was it didn’t matter that we weren’t eligible. Total joke. 

    how much better is our budget now?  I have no visibility to know one way or the other.

    I agree we need more coverage of local news. And if a GF radio station had the UW radio guy on I would expect that game to be a topic of conversation. But people are complaining that a radio show on a station named BISON1660 titled The Bison Insiders didn't talk about an upcoming UND game. If a GF station had an Iowa guy on I wouldn't expect them to talk about the NDSU game from a couple of years ago. Like it or not, that show will probably not talk about UND sports unless they are playing NDSU.

    There must be some interest in UND by NDSU fans or there wouldn't be any NDSU fans (nd1sufan for one) reading a UND fan board let alone having nearly 950 posts.  

    Nothing wrong with that but it makes it hard to make the case there there would be no interest from NDSU fans when a UW guy is on the radio in Fargo.

    Tom Miller ID'd Wolsky as a PWO on Twitter.  Haven't seen anything definitive on Langstaff, but I'm assuming he's a PWO too.

    Does anyone know how many of the 2019 commits are PWO vs. scholarship overall?
