Hambone

I knew he was on campus recently so thought we might get a flip out of it. Kid could be a difference maker for us....... Excited about this one.

I've been paying some attention while putting up the Christmas lights. Pretty surprising day. Lamar is beating UNI 13-6 late in first half as well.

I'm really going to miss these seniors, especially John and Brady. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

What a terrible drive.

Zavalney just committed. Guessing PWO but not sure.

Yep. Typically has been. And, as you noted, the Bison fans that vote typically don't hold UND down because it's UND. They're fairly free of bias. I think what sinks UND (and Idaho St) are the east coast voters, as some of these polls just don't make any sense to me at all. Anyway, here is the thread discussing this weeks polls. A lot of defending UND and Idaho State in this one. Definitely a good read. http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?215312-AGS-Poll-Results-WEEK-7-POLL-2018-SEASON

UND will be around 17 in my poll this week I think. Will be putting it together tomorrow morning so will be interesting to see how everything shakes out.........

I know we get the ball first to start the second half, but does anyone else feel like the score is going to be about 34-21 at the end of the third?

so why am I watching some random Midco MAG program instead of the game??? Give me some game dammit!

Sounds like Zavalney is one of today's visitors. A lot of the kids on campus today seem to be 2020 kids.

Yep. Not good.

I actually think the new mascot looks great! One of my buddies was there and had a few pictures of his son with the mascot, and I showed it to my son and he was so excited to get to a game so he could see the mascot.......having the kids be excited about it makes it a lot better for me!

coaches and media polls usually are late morning/early afternoon on Monday. AGS comes out right around noon Central on Mondays.

Unfortunately as it relates to polls, slot voting is how most people do it and the entire resume isn't completely looked at. I vote in the AGS poll, and I've got the Hawks in mine. I'm guessing that UND will show up in the AGS poll, but may not in the others. In either case - polls don't matter and the team shouldn't get caught up in them. They should just continue to play their game and win.....the rest will take care of itself.

I contacted someone on AGS to see if he could help and it looks like he posted something on katfans. hopefully it helps.......

I'm typically not one to go over to other fan message boards, but surprised no other UND fans have chimed in over there (although I see lakes and TAB have hit the thread in expected fashion).......

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. I really like the direction the OL is going, which was one of my biggest concerns going into this year. My other biggest concern, the defensive backfield, is still a bit of a question mark. I think we can pull together a full game and dominate in the trenches, and if we can get a balanced offensive attack and limit mistakes in the defensive backfield, we should have a great shot to win this one. I think my main concern with this game is special teams, and I think that if our FG kicking stays as is it could cost us a game, and this might be the one. I haven't seen how anything in practice is, but if Leach is capable and he's just not confident, he needs to find that fast.

In the UNDFootball360 "What's Happening" section of their website, they have this: "August 20th We have heard UND will name their starting QB by tomorrow, August 21st, which falls in line with the timeline we were given by Coach Rudolph. The Hawks begin normal school-time practices tomorrow. "

Looks like Westberg has flipped to the Bison.

So, we seem to have a glut of DEs in this class. Due to Beach's size, is there any chance he ends up at NG? Seems like he could be a wrecking ball at DE though.......

Listen to this guy - he knows of what he speaks.......

Coley has committed.

Iowa offer is a PWO. Also has PWO from the Gophers.

I know this has been discussed, but it will be interesting to see how this affects UND this season since it has now officially been adopted. https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/di-football-offer-more-participation-opportunities

I can understand the frustration of a fan seeing Geno leave, but I think it's best to just wish him well and hope he is successful in his next venture. I would have loved seeing him play his last year for UND, but it isn't in the cards and we need to move on and cheer for the rest of the team that is here. Good luck Geno!
