It's early in the season but at some point your impact and value to the team kind becomes irrelevant if you don't play.

If you leave the only guy in UND history with 100 G and 100 A off your 12 man forward group you should be banned from the Ralph forever and regulated to mowing Bronson Field to FIFA standards for the rest of your life (different thread joke).

I see what you're trying to do here. Gronowski hasn't been good this year but he's a national champion. Romfo was just really good in fall camp.

I think a split is best case scenario

Hrkac, Johnson, Patrick and Toews. Although I could be talked into Joyce over Toews.

This has gotten off on a tangent.....it is just my opinion on Ward as a player at UND. Not including a pro career after. Not a high draft pick with uber talent that could not stay healthy enough to make a true impact at UND when it mattered. I'm glad he'll be recognized with a final skate.

Bubba's team are historically bad on the road. First game outside of ND in 8 weeks. Don't even care about the spread....just want the money line.

Agree. If UND can run for 200+ they win. If not and have to try to throw for 200+ they got no shot.

Eyeball test. Stats dont tell the whole story. Tough as nails. 200 foot game. The fact you threw Chay Genoway into this conversation....now you just need to sit this one out.

Dixon Ward last shift Friday. Easily top 5 to wear a UND sweater.

I also heard Gronowski got a 7 figure offer to leave SDSU after last season. Not sure who he got his advice from but at his age to decline that money was well.....flatout stupid. He looked slightly better Saturday night than the QBs at the Alerus that afternoon. He needed to grab that bag after last season plain and simple.

Is it just me or has the overall QB play at the FCS level completely fallen off a cliff in the past few years? Credit to Miller as he made some great throws when needed but Gronowski was awful.....and he looked like Dan Marino compared to what I saw on both sides at the Alerus yesterday.

To your first point.....they don't. Not to the standard of a high end "FIFA certified" quality pitch ( soccer lingo) as some here are selling it. The fairways at Ray Richards are more playable and my neighbor mows his grass but still looks like an unattended vacant lot 90% of the time. To your 2nd point.....absolutely have no doubt that's a big part of it. Probably the biggest reason for the complaints.

Yes he did

Kind of like watching UND's

First time watching SDSU.....kind of underwhelmed

Wanting grass vs what players prefer to play on are two different things. It's not complicated. UND doesn't have the resources to properly maintain a quality grass field. The least desired field to play on in the Summit is at UND. Least desired in the NSIC is MSUM. Both....grass.

Dylan Sasha Mac needs to happen soon

How does UND continually recruit high end offense talent that can't produce consistently.

Mavs 1-0

With UND's inability to play well on the road and not being able to move the ball through the air consistently wouldn't say either of the next 2 games are automatic wins.

In this geographical area with the variable weather your statement is categorically false.

Bubba talking put Simom post game. Gotta at this point. All chips are in.

The passing game is just so bad.
