Hawkster

Ugly win but still a win. I'll take it.

We'd better not give up two safeties.

34-31 Hawks.

I've never understood that saying. Virtually every farmer I know, whether they went to NDSU, somewhere else, or nowhere, owns their farm or at least part of it. Now I don't rub elbows with a ton of farmers and I'm sure some UND guys own farmland but I'm pretty sure it's not a case of all land is owned by UND grads and the land is worked by indentured servants.

Unfortunately we have to do the same thing.

When was the last time UND won a game on the road? I'm too lazy to look it up.

Remember, UNI lost to Utah Tech. I expect to win bigly.

The game wasn't as close as the score would indicate. Wentz simply isn't getting it done, McCarthy at least rallied the team back from the dead in the season opener against Chicago. Wentz seemed like he was banged up after those sacks. No surprise, he's been hurt more than healthy over the years. Wentz just isn't the answer.

Wentz being Wentz today. Sacks and interceptions abound.

That's for sure. USD was hot garbage today and those that said they were overrated were right. We should have no trouble winning if we play a good solid game. I would expect us by 10 to 14 points. I am however more worried about playing NDSU. Cole Payton has a good arm and better legs. He looked like the real deal unfortunately.

UNI lost yesterday to Utah Tech. We roll those guys on Saturday by 17.

Yep

Maybe special teams should take a lesson from them.

Not impressive against a worthless team. Apparently we didn't take them seriously and Valpo did. Be interesting to see what changes the second half.

If we don't win this game with something like 59 to 3 I'd be surprised, maybe even disappointed.

So, how many INT's and fumbles does Wentz have before he's injured again? With no O Line to save him this game is going be, let's say, interesting.

I'm sure Chaves had far more to do with the OOC schedule than Bubba and the Montana games were lined up a long time ago

That was the point I was trying to make in my post yesterday. Playing teams like Valpo, Drake, Butler, etc don't do anything for the team except get a W. We get Murray State too but they are conference

I was gone this weekend but did manage to watch the game. This was beyond bad. I can't believe UND didn't win this thing by a comfortable margin. I'm not blaming the players but boy the coaches, makes me wonder if Bubba isn't somewhere on the staff. On to Valpo. I really think these easy games like Valpo and Portland State make things worse. We go and blow them out and it makes it look like this team can do anything and then good teams come along and expose the weakness. It may not be a popular thought but it's true. I'd like to see a little more challenging teams in the non con part of the schedule. We'll win by 40+ next week and then on to conference games. Montana=Coulda/Shoulda/Woulda.

So you heard that back in your playing days?

Do any of the D1 Dakota schools have the names on back? I've never really paid any attention to it.

Years ago I had someone tell me it's the name on the front of the jersey that's important. That's the rationale behind no player names. Not saying I agree or disagree, just throwing that out. Discuss.

41-38 Hawks. Bubba beat them last year and the team is better. No reason this game isn't a W.

Klieman and DeBoer will both be looking for new jobs by the end of the year.
