Michael Fredrick This week's Key and Peele entry

Matthew Middleton, WR Coach Magic Johnson

Because of the demand, they opened up extra tickets to the students. However I don't recall if they gave the extra to them for "free" or charged $5 once they went past their inital alottment, which is something have done in the past. I'm thinking it was the former with the understanding that going forward, after the first game, it would be the latter but I don't recall the details off the top of my head.

Basically replaces the Crown College game that is on the schedule every year. They actually play in the same conference.

Guessing the Northland College is the D-III one out of Ashland, WI. Looks like they are already going to be in the area play Bemidji on 11/18. I guess they managed two D-1 homes games OOC this year, which is one better than last year.

Week 3 Depth Chart changes: Offense Dan Bell listed as #2 at LG instead of Grant Aplin (Bell is the backup at both guard spots) Grant Aplin listed as #1 RG, replacing injured Demon Taylor Only 2 WR spots listed instead of 3 this week. Toivonen listed as #2 WRZ instead of #1 WRB, which was removed from 2-deep Defense Nick Schmitz added as #3 at NG Jake Rastas moves to #1 SILB for injured Donnell Rodgers. Sophomore Corby Richman out of Oriska, ND listed as #2 Special Teams Meindel moves up to #2 PK, Dussold removed Dussold added as #2 Holder, Miendel moves down to #3 Donnell Rodgers and Demon Taylor added to the injury report, no other additions or subtractions.

Thanks for the clarification on SDSU, I hadn't heard either way on that. I'm pretty surprised they were willing to pay that much for UND to come down there. I don't believe their offer in past years was even close to that when they were offering a buy game instead of a home/home. What's even more surprising is their attendance last season wasn't a whole lot better than UND's (less than 200 more/game), though historidcally gap is usually a bit larger. Maybe they will find a way to use some of the money to get a few home games. I know it's been mentioned before, but working with NDSU to bring teams in to play two games should definitely be looked at. Might be easier once both are in the Summit and schedules line up a little better. I get where you're coming from with SDSU. With this possibly being more of a rebuilding year for UND, they may have been more willing to pay to bring them in than they would have last year and UND took what will end up being a fairly profitable trip against a team they think they can still knock off.

Make it 3....

Per WDAZ, UND traveling to take on national runner-up Gonzaga on December 16.

There was a pretty good turnout at the meet earlier this year but that's not that point. The finishing touches should be put on Phase 1, it would significantly add to how impressive the building already is. There's a world class track in there that a lot of teams in the midwest would love to run on, which will only help T&F recruiting along with improving the building overall. Cross country course next month. Nothing else I'm aware of.

You aren't wrong. Rudolph calls a good game and the defense pitches a shutout so I guess the next guy down the list is the ST coordinator.

Considering the bleachers were supposed to be part of Phase 1 and will actually allow for quality meets to be held there along with cleaning up a lot of the storage issues they are having, I disagree. Phase 2 requires a significant capital push along with re-approval from the SBoHE. Finishing Phase 1 does not.

Week 1 was against Utah..... While I'm not saying that there aren't things that need to be cleaned up, which is the case for every unit of the team, if you think Kostich is a weak link in the staff, you are way off.

This is correct, where did the idea we paid them come from? UND will be paying MVSU to show up next year. Needed a home game as the team is getting big bucks to go to Washington and traveling to SHSU, who will be returning the favor in a few years. Four home games would not be acceptable.

I actually think he'll get a 6th year if he wants it, I don't believe think they distinguish between types of injuries just that the lost seasons are out of the players control. He's now lost 2 season to injury in 5, which would be the baseline for a 6th year. Really tough break for a kid that is a helluva player.

I enjoyed the demeanor of the handful of high-up NDSU athletic department folks who were standing in the SE corner of the BESC. They did not appear to be enjoying themselves. I do want to point out that Matt Larsen wasn't in that group, he was behind the north bench. Saw him in the ticket line, he looked to be impressed with the turnout. Seems like a very nice guy.

I actually agree with you on something.

Just tweaked it, still in and didn't miss a beat.

They were turning people away from getting in line 10+ minutes before the game started.

Pretty impressive that UND managed to averaged 4.6 and 5.2 YPC the last two year with everyone, including the fans, knowing every single play call that was coming.

Not sure there is one out there but reach out to Lance Moser in the UND athletic department. He has been our contact for tailgating. 701-777-6953 / lance.moser@athletics.und.edu

2-Deep changes from last week: Offense Tobin listed as starter at LG over Aplin (previously it was Aplin or Tobin) Coyne moves to starting FB, Finke as #2 with Norberg's injury Defense Wilson moves from #3 to co-#2 with Cieslak at LDE Rastas replaces Geier as #2 SILB Evan Holm shunk from 6'3", 190lbs to 5'11", 180lbs Injury report remains the same outside the addition of Norberg

I couldn't put my finger on it. This was it.

That's a better explanation than being that clueless on some of the things he's written. Wait a year on the locker room? Yeah, seems like a brilliant idea with a Title IX complaint filed. And not sure why the pictures matter, the public doesn't see them. He really glossed over the new display being put up in the main concourse while he was accusing them of whitewashing WIH from the arena. Guessing he didn't bother contacting anyone from the REA or athletic department that could have set him straight or answered his asinine assumptions. He's got a future in click bait journalism ahead of him.

Not as familiar with that as it is rarely done at the FCS level. From what I understand, a kid either takes his first semester of freshman year off or only goes part time on their own dime. They aren't allowed to have anything to do with the team at that time. They then enroll full time once the 2nd semester begins and you still get your 5 to play 4 from initial full-time enrollment. However from what I do know about it, I wouldn't be surprised if your feeling is correct and I know there have been some controversies regarding it recently as there have been some cases where a kid has grey-shirted and then the scholarship they were promised wasn't available when the time came for them to enroll.
