    Any chance this BYU/Coastal catapults the winning team into serious playoff contention? Obviously Coastal won't get in, but still a New Years 6 game up for grabs. As much as I hate the Bison, it's tough not to think they would've been a top 20 team in the nation this year if they played a schedule similar to both these schools.

     

    Who could have guessed that Coastal Carolina vs BYU would have serious national playoff implications?

    I agree fully with this, which is why I've stated multiple times R's should be fine with a short-term loss in the WH to gain even more seats in the House in 2022 mid-terms and have an excellent shot to take the WH back in 2024 (assuming they don't absolutely drop the ball on a candidate like both parties have the last two elections). It gives them a change to reset and put forth a quality candidate that can unite their base and bring in more independents. The D's have their far-left wing screaming at Biden already which is going to cause internal issues and turn off independents.

    That being said, I think this shows even further that there was not the massive voter fraud that is being claimed. If you're going to smart and bold enough to cheat in one race, why not bolster your ranks in the Senate and House as well and make it worth your while.

    Yep.  While there are always irregularities, I don't think that there is anything out there that will make a difference.  The fringe groups on the D side are going to drive Biden nuts I think, so we'll see what happens.  

    As it relates to the short term loss, I like a good chunk of what Trump has done, but his constant outlandish claims really is a turn off.  I think he actually would have been more effective as president if he had done the exact same thing as it relates to policy, but shut up everywhere else.  But as long as the Senate stays red I'm fine with Trump losing, although I fear he'll run again in 2024.  

    Although, if the Senate stays red and the House turns red in 2022, I'd prefer a red president and one of the chambers turning back blue in 2024.  I just prefer not all branches the same - although I'd love if that meant that they actually had to work together.  I'm no fan of one side just being able to ram everything and anything through......

    On the women's side, Olson committed to Brew in July of last year.  I do not know if that offer was still out there or if she decided to play elsewhere.  Her sister recently transferred from SMU to NDSU.  Lane was a PWO so that may be why she wasn't announced.  I expected VanderWal to be announced.  Not sure what is happening there.

    I also don't know about Grant on the guy's side but we may have decided to keep that scholarship open. 

     

    Olson ended up joining her sister and signing with NDSU as well.

    I would add many public health officials to that list.  Apparently they don't care about mental health, especially childrens'.

    I think that's one of my biggest issues with this whole thing - people talk about following the experts, but the only experts they want to talk about are epidemiologists and they completely ignore mental health experts and economists.

    Looking at the spreadsheet the NDDOH puts out there was 5 deaths attributed to COVID yesterday.  I wonder where the discrepancy comes from.  All the other numbers match up with what you posted.

    Could it be one is date of death and the other is date the death is announced?  I know that sometimes there's XX that is announced as deaths that day, but it can have deaths from weeks/months back included.

    With early signing day only around a month away, is anyone concerned by how quiet it has been? Clearly an abnormal year in terms of recruiting and playing, but kids still need to make plans for after they graduate. Why are we not hearing more here? Should we expect more surprises than usual on signing day? Is this supposed to be a smaller class, given what we have coming back?

    I wonder if we will see Damien Owens sign early. He was pretty clear in his commitment that if a bigger offer came, he was still open to hearing it.

    Really hope they are going hard after after both Ethan George and Mike Leatherdale.

     

    Thoughts anyone?

    Leatherdale committed to Iowa Western yesterday.

  7. I think Caleb Nero is going to be one for sure.  I can see the other one being a toss up, but I'd go with Mitchell Sueker, a transfer from a D2 school.  He was the Freshman of the Year for his conference, and he's got some size that UND is severely lacking.  I think he makes a bigger impact than the Freshmen this year.  

  8. I'm very, very hopeful that 2024 will bring us some better candidates, on both sides.  I don't think Biden will run again (I also personally think he doesn't make it but a couple years), but in either case you'd think Harris would be at the top of the list.  I don't care for her, and I think she'd be a terrible president, but I'm not sure who else the Democrats can trot out other than a rehash of this years.

    On the Republican side, I think you've got Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Tom Cotton, possibly DeSantis that you'd be looking at the most.  Maybe Rick Scott, Marco Rubio.  I'm guessing Noem would get a hard look at VP depending on how the next 3 years go.

    Personally would prefer there be no Trumps involved.  I'm guessing Don Jr will kick the tires though, but Ivanka could be a wildcard for lesser office to try to work her way up.

    Thoughts on both sides looking ahead to 2024?

    Yeah I saw some of those, but I'm looking for a Youth L.  Additionally, I'd like something that is more based on the current uniforms and was hoping folks had seen things in a store or something that maybe isn't available online.  I don't mind it being #1, although through this search there are so many variation you can find of the team down south it makes me wish we could do the same.

    Green jersey with black pants is a great look.

    While I prefer Green/Green I also think the black pants look good with green tops.  Doesn't hurt that this combo was what I was used to during my time at UND in the late 90s / early 00s.  How long was that the main home combo?

    Mark me down as a huge fan of these. Full disclosure, I couldn't have hated the Grey jerseys anymore, so not seeing those was all I needed. I would prefer Green over Black slightly, but overall think they are sharp.

    Agreed on the grey - especially considering we always mixed them in with green tops/grey bottoms or grey tops/white bottoms and what not.  All grey was fine, but mixing them anywhere else was bad.

    Also much prefer the all green look to black......

    Don't forget about the Smith kid from BSM. 

    I’m very curious to see what he brings to the table.  Didn’t have much of a senior year so it’s hard to say but I thing he’s a big boy.

    If SUU, NAU do head to the WAC that certainly would tighten up the footprint of the Big Sky.  Imagine if Poly and UC Davis took their football to the WAC as well...

    I would think that Sac State, NAU and the Cali affiliate football schools would be prime for the WAC along with NAU.  What about Portland State, sitting up there with Seattle (who is somewhat of a WAC outlier)?
