Any word on which QB looked better?

August 14th Depth chart changes: OL Jeremy Jenkins has been moved to guard. Freshman Matt Waletzko has been working with the #2 offense at RT. We feel Waletzko will play this year and would not be surprised if OG Kyle Hergel also plays as a freshman. https://undfootball360.com/und-football-happenings/

Fair enough, maybe I'm just too anxious for football, and can't get enough content.

Maybe Warren Taylor can watch some youtube videos on Running Back, and fill in there next year.

Apparently our coaches can’t win. Not enough blue chippas, not enough grinders ... I just want hockey players.

Would be nice to keep that redshirt if possible though. agreed on iwarri smith though. Kid had the speed, but the build of a we. RB would not have worked well at this level.

Can someone put this in perspective for me. Obviously a few years away from this kid's NHL draft but what round would he be projected in. Actually, what rounds are all of the players in that class projected at. Sounds like a loaded class.

ESPN3 might be, but ESPN+ will be a separate online subscription with a monthly charge.

I saw that as well, hope it actually happens.

Might be that extra motivation I needed to just ditch cable altogether.

Wow, I thought I was optimistic about the season. The only disagreement I have is that we will be the favorite at Sam Houston. An away game against a top 5 team, definitely not the favorite, but certainly winnable. I've said it before, NDSU basically handed over the blueprint on how to beat Same Houston. We have the talent to do so, as long as we utilize it. Should be a fun game for sure.

Read something on Bisonville that the MVFC (not sure about Summit) is moving away from ESPN3 and towards ESPN+. http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?39372-Espn/page1 Other links: http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?204524-ESPN https://redbirdfan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=784 I haven't dug into this much, but my understanding is: ESPN3 - Internet viewing, where access is often included with your cable package. I know that is how mine works. I have cable, which includes online access to ESPN3. ESPN+ - Internet viewing, completely separate from your cable package, for any additional $4.95/month. In Short, you are paying more, for what you already had. Not sure if this will take effect immediately or not, but it is something to be aware of as UND moves towards the MVFC.

Long battle to go, but sounds like Ketteringham is playing pretty well out there today.

Great to hear that a guy has put in that type of work and built that type of rapport with his teammates. As long as whomever is playing the best, and shows the most potential is starting, I don't care. I tend to lean Ketteringham, but that isn't based on much except for what I have read. I will say this, if it is Ketteringham, I think Zimmerman will show how a true captain should be. Even if he isn't starting, he can be a huge voice and leadership for the team. I've seen that before; Captain doesn't mean you are the best player, but that you can demonstrate some of the best leadership. Getting pretty pumped to see how this all plays out. 8/30 can't come soon enough!

I wouldn’t mind seeing it at OLB if he is fast enough. Not enough size at that position IMO.

Mason Bennet is up to 262. I like the sound of that. Would really like to see him take that next step.

So, big picture this makes everyone look like noting for arguing about the difference between 192 and 198. Not exactly Harvard vs Yale here.

Are we really going to resort to slamming NDSU’s education ? I don’t think it is really necessary to go there. Just makes our fan board sound like the jealous ex girlfriend. I work with several NDSU grads, they are fine people, intelligent, and good workers. Let’s stick to football

Agree with you to a point. I’m not a fan of flips,but you take em when you get em and you hate it when you lose em. As for hockey, much different process. Some of these kids start committing at like 13 or 14 before they know where they actually want to be for college and before the schools even know where their development will be at. It’s dumb. I think the majority of the people commenting are more tongue in cheek about NDSU stealing a kid with no other D1 offers when many (not all) Bison fans were chastising UNDs recruiting the kid in the first place. i do think it was tacky how the kid did it. Pretty simple to, rather than delete you prior commitment, simply thank UND for the opportunity, but announce you have weighed you options and are changing you commitment. No obligation to do this, but it is a character thing. im sure the kid has some talent, or NDSU wouldn’t have offered him, and I’m sure he will do well in that program. Onto the next recruit.

Double reverse with Toivonen. #burners

True, but the MVFC was strong (not that the BSC was not), but they had people lobbying for them. That being said, I don't think that any 6-5 team (I don't care who they are, or what conference they are in) has any business in the playoffs. As UND will be independent, we won't really have anyone in the committee room pulling for us if we are on the bubble. Best thing is to "Leave No Doubt" and get 8 wins. However, a "Quality Loss" to Washington will look better than a "Quality Loss" to Bowling Green. Granted we should've/could've won the Bowling Green game. Gotta put up a decent showing against Washington (meaning better than was Montana did last year; 63-7).

Doesn't surprise me, since he has the most (only) game time action with the team. I still expect to see Ketteringham be the guy, but it is nice to know we finally have some depth.

Not disagreeing with all of your points, but I think you can throw out the first season for the most part. None of his recruits, just starting to install his schemes, etc. I don't think you can throw out last season, but it was sort of an anomaly in terms of injuries. That being said, it also exposed the lack of depth that Bubba had built. I do agree that this season is huge in terms of the trajectory of UND Football under Bubba. Repeat of last season, and you need to start looking at your options. Though I expect to see a vast improvement, and some surprises this year. I always like Studs, but I think we will see much more complete play at the QB position this season. The size and talent is there at TE (use 'em). We have both size and speed in a nice WR core. RB, 'nuff said. D Line will be solid. LB core will look far better than the depleted group from last season. Corners should be fine, especially with added depth. My biggest concerns: O-Line (which could be a surprise), Safety, O-Coordinator (So many tools to work with here, use 'em)

FOOTBALL!!!

Came in at 185 in 2016. Kid could have a monster final two years.
