I was expecting to hear of more commitments in the last week or two. Is this slow period normal?
-
I'm still disappointed that Rob Bollinger isn't sitting in the AD seat right now.

We had a similar experience about 20 years ago when my daughter told me Mr Inniger (Bart) was her kindergarten gym teacher. She went to school wearing Sioux stuff from head to toe the.next day. It started a good natured rivalry between them.

Nice job all the way around on the winning FG yesterday. Who snaps and who holds on FGs?
-
Yup. Studsrud was made aware of the game clock by Garmin and a couple others. He wasn't going to really run it way down I don't think. It only gave them enough time for a kickoff return but I'm sure next time he'll milk it down to 3 or so seconds.
I was just completely befuddled though with the people in the stands screaming bloody murder because he wasn't snapping the ball as if we needed a TD.
You shouldn't be completely surprised by fools in the stands. You don't have to know anything about football to by a ticket and that is proven over and over again.

my question was why didn't we run it down to 3-4 seconds before the kick so no kickoff. Maybe with a more experienced qb the coaches would have more comfortable running it down farther.Great win. And to those fans that were screaming when Studsrud was running down the clock before the field goal, shut up and figure it out.

Mine is working fine

I know Dev was injured but don't know how long he would be out. It might have factored in if he said he was leaving at end of season and couldn't play now anyway.
-
I spoke with one of our top players on the defense this week and he had nothing but good things to say about Hanson. He was confident in Studsrud but felt bad for Jake and that wasn't going to get a shot. I definitely got the impression that Jake is an important part of the team.

UND didn't screw up the coin toss. They chose to take the wind after losing the toss. That is not "screwing it up". If the Texas thing never happened this wouldn't even be brought up.
UND chose to take the wind in the second half instead of the ball. Why? Because they were down 21-3 with an average offense and knew they needed to catch up NOW or be down too far to even get close. How did it work out? They scored two TD's in the 3rd/start of 4th and made it 21-17, which is exactly what they hoped for. They at least now had a shot.
Bubba didn't know how his defense would play in the fourth quarter but he knew damn well that they better try and catch up now instead of later into the wind.
His decision to take the wind in the 3rd quarter worked about as well as it possibly could have.
I think we actually won the toss at the start of the game and took the wind so SUU took the ball.
SUU got their choice in 2nd half and took the ball again so we chose to take the wind for 3rd qtr. We wouldn't get the choice both at start and at half.

I think Ratelle is back playing

who is punting today?

gotta field the punt and save 20 yards

I have a few friends that played for NDSU, but who UND wanted bad. One was recruited under Lennon and the other 2 under Muss.
What Joe Glen said closely resembled what they told me about their visits with UND. They said more time was spent trying to convince them why NDSU and SDSU sucked rather than time spent discussing the program at UND.
I talked with a few parents of UND players a couple of years ago and they said similar things about NDSU. They told me that the SU coaches talked crap about UND during recruiting and the things they told their kids were not true. They also said their kids spent a fair amount of time when new recruits came to visit trying to straighten out the lies they had been told by SU coaches.
I guess it all depends on whose ox is being gored.

Watching the match on FSN+ in Twin Cities. Great HD picture

Any relation to Mark Chmura of the packers?
He is Mark Chmura's son. Another son Dylan plays for Michigan State.

SDSU's new Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Facility (the "SJac"). The pictures were taken last Saturday, October 11, 2014. The Daktronics video boards have to be installed along with the usual signage (Exit signs etc.) but she's ready to go. We'll host a couple of college meets and two high schools meets this year. I ran track back in the day and always thought the short guys had an advantage on 200 meter tracks because those of us with long legs had to fight to stay on the corners. A 300-meter track is not an advantage to a long-legged runner but it eliminates the advantage the stubby guys have on 200 meter tracks.

Bartles did a good job and I expected he would. He is a good QB. For some of you, there is nothing that Mollberg can do that will satisfy you. He played well against both Montana and against Portland. He threw a pick 6 against Montana State but played a decent game. Some of these wide open receivers people talk about are not always the entire story. Bartles missed a wide open reciever in the end zone but was getting pressured. Some games he will make that play and some days he won't. He did make a good throw on the TD but wasn't perfect. It isn't going to be.
Leading 2 scoring drives in second half was good, but not a miracle nor unexpected. Remember if Tillman doesn't score we likely don't win. That wouldn't have been Bartle's fault but it would have been Mollberg's fault had he been the QB. . Hd Mollberg been the QB at end of first half and not let the play clock run down before the snap he would have been crucified by some of you. If you guys think musical QB's is anyway to go you are nuts. It didn't work last year. Bartles was the starter last year and too many of you forget he lost the job cuz he wasn't playing well. Joe then lost the job cuz he wasn't playing well. Joe earned the job this fall cuz he was playing well in the spring game and in pre-season. I know a couple of you think practice doesn't matter but it does. Mollberg has survived a rocky start with receivers who were dropping the ball and running poor routes, and an Oline that has struggled. He has also made his own mistakes. What I believe is the mistake too many of you are making is you forget this is a team game and although the QB's are maybe the most important position on the offensive side of the ball but only one position. Joe is starting to look like the QB the coaches and many of us believe he is capable of. Bubba and his staff see the same thing. Bigger upside but still work in progress. If Bartles becomes the QB you can't throw him under the bus either as he adjusts and matures. I don't think we aren't seeing what you see, we just have a different opinion and dont' get pissed if the coaching staff seems to agree with our opinion
I was really disappointed with the end of the first half when we were on our own 9 and snapped the ball twice with the clock running and left about 12-14 seconds on the play clock both times. That gave PSU 20-25 seconds extra which is just what they needed to get another FG before half. That needs to be recognized by the coaches, QB, center or anybody that can speak up and keep that from happening at the time. Poorly done by all.
-
Bartels did a nice job but wasn't perfect either. Joe was 7/8 and has had two pretty good games in a row and has been steadily improving. I would stick with Joe.

You guys should be redirecting your anger towards a certain punter/kicker who became ineligible over the summer and completely F'ed over the entire team. He would have been kicking the field goal and more than likely made it. BTW, the hold was bad and the timing was completely off.
Blaming a true freshman who was not prepared by the staff to be the kicker until week 3 of fall camp (due to above-mentioned player) is pretty low, IMO. The kid has done fairly well considering he shouldn't be kicking in the first place. Oh, and the true freshman holder is the walk-on punter who also should not be playing due to above mentioned player.
I don't know about you guys but I sucked my first year at my current work.
The game is really fast for those players right now. It will slow down and get easier with more experience. That is a tough place to put a couple of freshman in this early in their careers. Hope for the best but it is understandable.
-
Looked awfully close to a push off by WR on that long pass play to set up GW field goal. Surely thought a Pass Interference was coming.
i was sitting in that corner and thought the same thing.
-
Something to build on. That hasn't been true for a couple of years. Headed in the right direction but it will take time.

lets goUND ball. 80 yards to go with 3 minutes left. Then onside kick. Then a FG.
