Boy that was quick

This game reminds of the Wyoming game. We were expected to be competitive but not win and we all know how that went. Plus with that game we had the satisfaction of beating Craig Bohl.

I can't imagine any NFL team desperate enough to take Wentz. He's terrible on the field and toxic in the locker room. Not even the Jets will take him.

I didn't realize until yesterday that Waletzko was on IR again. Just can't catch a break.

That shouldn't be hard to overcome that line. We need a little luck and lot of hard playing football. We can do this.

I always thought in Nort Dakota the verse went "Valking in a Vinter Vonderland".

I'm glad to see the season start but I do sorta wish it was a more worthy opponent. This is going to be over by end of the first quarter. 56-3 UND

I'm going to say under because of the holiday weekend and we are playing an uninspiring opponent. Sorry but we're going to hang 50 on these guys. Now when Northern Arizona comes to town things will pick up.

Considering that Hoosman didn't see the field at UNI I'm not sure I want to take much comfort in that.

Remember, NDSU used to lose almost every year to SDSU during the season and then come out blazing during the playoffs and beat them. That was of course until last year. A loss during the regular season can be overcome.

Since Matt's never had much of a career with Dallas I fear it will be very easy for them to cut him and move on if it's going to require surgery.

If we win any of those major games and still only finish 7-4 that means we laid an egg against some school like Indiana State or Arizona State. We can't be getting upset against schools like that.

I agree. We have to do better than 7-4.

I can't wait for the season to start. I really feel this is our year. The schedule is in our favor and we have the horses.

But Wentz "earned" that ring standing on the sideline. It didn't even look like he was cheering for Philly when they won.

I'm sure the picture with the gear from his last three gigs is an attempt to show him as a team player and somehow friendly with all three. No one is going to buy it, he'll always be remembered as a bust and being poison in the locker room

I suggest we change the title of this thread to "Carson Wentz taking the unemployment office by storm". I doubt any team is signing him this late and trying to get him to learn their plays. He couldn't play when he had a whole year to figure it out.

I've always thought Matt Larsen is the biggest slime ball you could find. I heard him on the radio once at halftime, had to listen to the NDSU version of the game because no UND station where I was at the time. He just comes across as something worse than a used car dealer. I'm not surprised Patty calls him incompetent. I'm sure she had other names for him but was too much of lady to use them.

I feel bare minimum is a bye in the first round followed a win, or if we play the first round we get two wins. We have to start making progress and I'm really hopeful about this year, the stars seem to align. If not this year it may be a long time. We've got the team and the schedule in our favor.

7-4 would still get us into the playoffs. It would be nice to beat either NDSU or SDSU and I feel this year should be our chance.

Recruiting looks good. I've been critical in the past but things are looking up.

Moving to FBS requires an additional 22 scholarships going from 63 to 85

I don't get the problem we have with recruiting. It seems like nothing ever changes and now NDSU is pulling them in left and right. Big, sought after players too. I think my skin would crawl if I had to sit in the same room with Entz listening to him recruit any kid of mine and yet they they get the job done. The only good thing about NDSU getting all these top notch recruits is that in 2 or 3 years they'll all be in the portal. The fact still remains UND isn't doing it right on recruiting and I've complained about this for years. No, I don't have the answer.

Hockey has proven that throwing money at a program doesn't necessarily get you more championships.
