Kid picked the wong team

Lets go steal him with Monty gone! mwahahaha

Unless your name is Okpoko and you'd rather hang in Cali than GF.

Like someone else said, I’m hoping this helps in landing Arizona. I know I read he had a good visit at Wisconsin a while back but hopefully that Penticton line continues to work for us.

Maybe we just start sending Red Pepper to high talent kids and see who shows up in GF? GoFundMe?

Not sure if this is a 2018 or 2019 kid, but it sounds like Bubba was looking at Deing Kug from Dakota College Bottineau. No clue on his talent, but he looks like one big boy. 6' 6" 350lb Tackle

its like rubbing salt in the wound! .... though it would have been better if they hadn't bounced back and won it all the following year.

He definitely has some tools around him to continue improving his game. The priority here should be getting another Schmaltz to make Monty cry.

I've stayed off of this thread and didn't know until yesterday that there was actually a vote ready to take place. So here is my opinion on getting a mascot: If you think mascots are dumb, then ignore them at the game. I hope this creates potential for a secondary logo for marketing purposes. The US Postal Service logo has grown on me. I still like my Sioux gear, but I also like my hawk gear. As long as I can find both, I will purchase both. Mascots are not for everyone, but kids love them. At the UND/Duluth game at the X, my 3 year old though the skating Bulldog was awesome. Like I said, kids like mascots. A mascot will in no way hurt the athletics department or the team. Not saying it will do wonders or help, but what is the harm? Overall, this seems like a pretty petty thing for anyone to be too critical about. No I don't want a terrible goofy mascot, but take what you get, and if the feedback is horrible, then maybe it will change in a few years.

When is Rizzo going to commit? Thought he would have done it by now.

Sounds like Schmaltz had a conversation with Duluth and Denver as well. I'm surprised Monty was willing to talk to anyone with the last name Schmaltz, but maybe he just doesn't want to get burned by another one in the Frozen Four. Anyone know how talented this kid is compared to the other Schmaltz boys?

I’d have to guess UFA. Regardless, I hope he gets a shot and finds a way to stay healthy! When healthy this kid just has it. Cmon Vikes, take a shot at the kid.

Absolutely! One bad error does not define Riegers career at UND. Overall, I thought the kid showed a ton of potential and grit.

Yeah, no doubt, what the hell is St Peter doing putting his job before his alma mater? Seriously man, you think it is all on him? And even if it is, he got a ticket that will sell. Lots of Sioux fans in the cities, but compare that to bison fans, especially for football, it’s not even close. Guy has a job to do, and he isn’t going to play favorites if that impacts his bottom line. and of course NDSU football has overtaken UND, along with every other fcs program in the last decade. Have you been watching?

Didn’t know that. I know Rick is a UND guy though.

You sure he isn't a little of both? I know his brother is a Sioux fan.

My guess is he will be swinging a towel on the sideline, but still be a great character/locker room guy.

Yeah, didn't mean it as an accusation so much as a question. Grady had issues...twice. Even with Haas leaving this year (though I don't know the reasons). I think there have been a few others as well. Not sure if the coaches aren't spotting something they should be, or if this is just normal attrition in college.

Exactly! Even in college I loved how the beer was cheap at the Ralph. Maybe not, "Down UNDER - 1.50 pitcher night" cheap, but still ....

Yep, Missouri I believe. There was quite a bit of hype around this kid. Seems like some of these high talent guys have other issues are priorities. Are this just unfortunate misses or does our coaching staff seem to overlook some potential red flags that some other schools might be seeing.

I meant an individual on our own staff

I wonder about an individual on the staff.

Lmao, 1st time in 16 years we aren’t in the tourney and two years removed from a championship. I’ll give Berry his due time. That being said, IF it doesn’t work out in the next few years, then try getting Sandy, but I have to think if you bring in Sandy as head coach, you likely lose Jackson. Guy has certainly been waiting for his chance and his contributions to the program can’t be overlooked.

What could have been...
