    I think you misunderstood what I was writing there...the lol is made in jest regarding the people who do the kindergarten redshirt and actually contemplate it at 4/5

    I understand that. Just commenting on it is all. Because it happens.

    i just looked it up. In MN kids have to be 5 by 9/1 which is when they’d start. I’m not for or against btw, I just noticed the trend the past ten years or so. I’d holdback with my kids, especially boys. What the east coasters are doing is wild though.

    The old kindergarten redshirt program lol.  Its why you have to look at actual birthday and who the competition is so closely....

    Yeah I’m aware of Canadas ages, fine unless your kid is a Dec birthdate. They’ll get lost like their hockey players do.

    I will say, if a MN kid is born in June or July, or even early August….they had the chance to enter K at 5. Its parents holding back, not teachers in almost all cases. When I grew up 9/1 was the start date for K. Now it seems it’s 6/1 to follow the MN hockey age cutoff :)

    Whats even more wild, look out east…I just saw a 2030 grad with a January birthdate at 15 natty camp. Nuts

    Some of the stuff posted here is so off the rails.

    I have a June 2011...when we started him in school, sports considerations weren't even a discussion or variable, much less hockey. We didn't know or care about our first born's sports acumen at 4 or 5 years old, or that he would even play sports at all.

    If those are variables on when to start your kid in scool, you're doing it wrong in my opinion. They'll either be good enough or not.

    Some people are crazy.

    Other offers?

    Why is that your initial response?

    Did the offer list satisfy you?

    We all good now?

    Stopping by to see if UND administration self-reported gifting a kid a pen set.   

    Best post I've seen on here in quite some time. Maybe forever.

    Jake Landry moving on. A disciple of the Jimmy Rogers School of Resume Building, he's taking a job as offensive analyst at Penn State, following Matt Campbell. After one year at Iowa State. After one year at the AC. After one minute at UND.

    Looks to me like 9 school changes in 15 years including the recent move to Penn State.

    I just didn't like the little dig at bubba considering he was with bubba for 5 years and at the end of his tenure his defense was horrible....ex...mcnichools state rushing up and down and up and down......

    and yes we will see..hope he wins a natty (soon) ....but we thought the same with bubba ten years ago and we got scammed.

    What did he say about bubba that offended you? What was the 'little dig'?

    Don’t limit expectations, although I agree with year #1 probably not leading to Natty.

    As for year #2… you better all have tickets for natty pre-ordered. Kalen DeBoer historically has done pretty well in year #2 using his program … what do we think will happen here with Schmidt? Boost up them expectations a bit, folks…

    Appreciate the positivity and comment. Glad you feel that way.

    Nobody has higher expectations for this head coach and the program than me right now.

    It will take some time however.

    You've really turned the corner though and I love it.

  8. I'd equate it to what the bunnies did with Gronowski his freshman year. 

    He probably wasn't ready then.

    But it paid off in spades in the long term.

  9. I'd start a young guy at QB.

    We aren't winning a national championship this year, let's be honest.

    Start a young guy and deal with the challenges of it this year. Get him experience and let him make mistakes so he's ready and hardened for 2026 and beyond.

    There will be growing pains but it will be worth it in the long term.
