  1. I hope the chestbump was for LB Mike Redmond from Minnetonka, 6-4 220 lbs 4.65. It's the type of size and speed we need at lb moving forward.

    I know his family and little bit and we were in the mix as of a few weeks ago. Hope it is him.
  2. I saw that earlier and was quite surprised by that. He knew he was a great athlete but didn't realize that he was that talented of a QB! So far it continues to appears that we are the only one who have offered a ride.

    I don't know if UNI has offered a ride but I do know they are hot after him.
  3. I know most of you are disappointed with the season, and I understand that...we certainly had the potential for a winning season. Hopefully things get turned around soon.

    I'd just like to thank all of you fans and students for cheering on my cousin during his last year of eligibility. He played backup for so long at North Carolina, so we were elated to see him get a starting job, and in a town that half our family is from. Hopefully UND builds a strong incoming class next year and makes the playoffs. I'll be watching UND football for many years to come!

    We loved watching him play. He is a great talent and we were lucky to have him.
  4. It's annoying to respond to people who can hardly read. I said I would've done something different on 4th down. The kick wouldn't have been a bad decision, but you can't blame a coach for having balls.

    Really? And where do you think that safety is? In the box. So, yea, lets run it when the defense is in a run heavy set with a safety blitz on tap. And you're right every coach tells the qb before the first game of the year not to take advantage of mismatches. Just forget I mentioned that, you clearly know that the chance of your kicker making a 51 yard FG for the win is wayyyyyyy higher than completing a pass to a WR who has 5 inches on a DB who is on an island.

    Don't see any reference in your post here to what you are talking about. I haven't read all of your posts on the subject.

    My point is still the same - poor decision to thow a deep low percentage pass on 3rd down and 1 and not try a safer play to get the 1st down in that situation. That should have been made clear to the qb at some point prior to running the play.

    Are those the only two options you have on 3rd down? A dive into the middle or a fly pattern down the sideline? How about a safe throw that gets you the first down and has a higher percentage of success. If the dive would have been so dumb on 3rd down, why was it so smart on 4th down in your opinion?

    I also believe that the numbers would tell you that Millers success rate on field goals of that length are higher than % completions on the pass we threw. I kicked in Greeley and you get an extra 10 yards or so due to the altitude. You don't have to hit it as hard so it is a much easier kick than a normal 50 yarder. I think he has done that a few times in the last 2 years.

  6. One problem I have with the complaints from everyone about 'the bomb on 3rd and 1' is that you have jameer Jackson against a much smaller db in press coverage with no safety over the top. You take that shot 100% of the time. Now the fourth down was a different story, the personel on the field was ridiculous. Put Marcus in and do a read option with another option being a pass to a te. Runner jer up the middle was a head scratcher.

    strongly disagree. You don't go for it 100% of the time at that point in the game. The % of success is too low. Your qb should be instructed of that before he takes the field before the first game of the year.
  7. It does control the demand. As I said, my group quit spending our money in ND.

    Hunters from the Twin Cities and other disant places don't care. They are only going once or twice anyway.

    I bet the restaurant, bar and hotel owners would rather see more business, especially later in the season.

  8. It is the people on the border who suffer. My father grew up in ND and hunted geese there for 20+ years. A number of years after moving to MN they changed the rules. The out of state fees and limited days eventually caused us to stop going there and we spend our hunting $$ eslswhere.

    It would be the equivalent if MN put similar fees and limited days for out of state fishing. MN is smart enough to realize that they would rather have the tourism dollars.

  9. Per Schlossman blog:

    Two UND players have been punished for receiving minors in possession/consumption of alcohol.

    Dan Senkbeil, who was cited for a minor and for failure to halt on Aug. 31, was suspended from all team activities for two weeks. He has not yet been cleared by coach Dave Hakstol to play in games. Senkbeil received his minor one week before turning 21.

    Michael Parks was cited for a minor and his punishment is being handled internally. Parks is 20.

    Both players were rookies last season.

    Senkbeil played in 30 games at forward, registering three assists. Parks played in all 42 games and registered 22 points.

  10. You guys are hilarious. If I didn't have Bison in my name there would be people speaking up and agreeing with me. So much for a two sided discussion.

    You guys would have readers of this board believe that these 10 guys pissed on the graves and memories of dead soldiers and now I am hearing from ScottM that they are no better than KKK members. You don't think you guys have taken it too far? If you say so.

    I hate to agree with you but this has been taken too far.

  11. The truth is that GT still has his undies in a bunch from when UND made the decision not to play SU in football because they were a non-counter towards the playoffs.

    I was told a few years ago by a prominent Fargo sportswriter that Chappy and GT stated that the game would never happen under their watch. Now that Chappy is gone GT may be more receptive but who cares. We will have a full FCS schedule after the first game of this year and I can't stand looking at their GB Packer unis anyway.

  12. The football guys who understand the impacts (no home football playoff games, ever) are some of the biggest, "Yes, retire it" folks out there.

    Count me in that group. I don't like having to retire the name but it is the only reasonable thing to do. We fought the good fight and the penalties aren't worth it anymore.
