NDSU has made a lot of right decisions on coaching over the years. Hard to hate on most of them with the exception of Entz. Absolutely could not stand that guy! The rest seem likeable enough, but Entz always came across like an arrogant jerk.

Glad to see hockey back on TV for the year! UND played well and without going into X's and O's, they definitely passed the eye test for me. Plenty to work on and clean up for sure, but with the number of new players, the number of young players, a new coach, and a variety of other changes .... I liked what I saw. This could certainly change and I'm far from ready to crown us, or anyone, champs ... but over the years there have been plenty of teams that have talent but still don't pass the eye test. I was impressed with what I saw on Saturday (granted it was against Manitoba), but there already seems to be some good chemistry on this team and it is soooo early. Plenty of time to build more and grow as a group.

One of the best articles I have read! Great stuff!

Practice jerseys should still have a Sioux logo on them. Just my opinion.

Isn't Fleck 6-0 in bowl games? Granted most of them are garbage bowl games.

..... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!! oh, actually that's about it.

Couldn't agree more. I suppose it just comes down to what the kid is looking for. Maybe location plays a factor. MN is a lot closer for family than ND is. Also agree on Fleck. I'm not the biggest fan. Not that he has done horrible, but apart from 1 year, he hasn't done a lot either. Comes across as too much of a cheap car salesman, but to each their own.

A road win is required here, but I'd like to see them go in and absolutely piss pound UNI. Leave no doubt and keep climbing the polls. After two close losses, we can't squeak by here. I think this needs to be a bit of a show of dominance to set the tone for Valley play and for road games going forward.

How's our injury report this week? Are we getting some people back? I thought I hear that all TEs should be back for UNI. Has Hromadka been hurt? Or are they just not playing him to retain redshirt eligibility? I just haven't heard his name called or read anything.

Can't blame the kid: Big10 Football Bigger stage More money to go around I would think Closer to home Ya never know how it will work out, but I certainly get it. Best of luck to him. Now, onward and upward!

Forget Reschny and Verhoeff ... this may be the single most important addition.

I would like to see a variety of kickers used in this game. Between the missed XP last week, other missed kicks and not kicking a FG at the end of the first half last game, there has to be some major concerns there. I think it was Kelly, who said, this WILL cost UND at some point this year .... well, it didn't take long. There were a ton of opportunities to win in MT, but kicking was a big one. This is a game where there will be ample opportunities to get different guys on the field, even if it is just in an XP situation. At this point, there is no reason not to. I want more JTJ late in the game. We saw his running ability against Portland St, but we also saw his hesitation to throw the ball, or limited ability to go through his progressions and find a receiver quickly. Get him some more meaningful reps! I want to see the defense pitch a shutout ... yep, I said it! Score a ton of points! Stay Healthy! Get in the right frame of mind as we head into the conference schedule! The two losses suck, but they shouldn't hurt UND in the long run, so long as they do what they need moving forward. We do need to be at least one of the SU teams at home, I'll be greedy and ask for both. If this team cleans up a few things, it could certainly happen, but they need to clean some stuff up.

They are just saying the Grizz are 2.5 point favorites over UND

Sounding like the Grizz top receiver (Wortham) is out this weekend.

Its a great sound bite for a movie speech and to tell young selfish players .... but having names on the back is just plain convenient! From little kids up to adults.
