Some sort of volunteer student committee actually wouldn't be a terrible idea. At least you could guage how to get more students there, and get them hooked on some winning football. I think they should really tap into the greek community. Thats a lot of kids right there, and if you can make it appealing to a solid base of them, more will follow.

Don't know Jay Hill, but I already don't like him because of this. I'm sure after UND beats Weber this weekend, Rand will have something to say about how Weber was playing injures, or UND should have had more penalties, or the little old lady in section 201 was too loud.

For the win!

Could not agree with you more. I'm not a fan of the new name or logo, but it does seem to work ok for football. Still not as good as the classic ND, but not terrible either. I also think if they put the logo on both sides of the helmet they should flip it so its facing forward on both sides. I don't really mind the letters, but I'm sure improvements, adjustments and alternatives will come out over the next few years.

So pumped for Saturday! Big time game, and time for UND to take care of business. These are the kinds of situations this program has been waiting to be in. A lot of the stat categories are pretty comparable between these teams. I think UND needs to focus on three things: Establishing the run - Weber St. does not have a great run D, but Idaho St wasn't supposed to either, and they did a pretty nice job, especially in the first half. I have to imagine last weekend, woke up the offensive line a but. Hopefully Stockwell is feeling better, as it was really nice camera work to get him puking on the field. Also, need to be getting all of these RBs plenty of carries. Gordon has, more than, earned his time on the field. Time of Possession - This goes hand in hand with running the ball. The key being we need to sustain drives. I believe it was the first of second drive of the 2nd half against Idaho St, when the (somewhat obnoxious) announcers, made a pretty big deal about UND having a roughly 8 minute drive. That kind of time will be crucial in giving our D a rest. Especially against another passing team, who "could" sustain some drives themselves. Turnover Battle - Pretty clean game last weekend, I don't think either of Keaton's INT's this year have been poor throws, but have been deflected by the receivers. Not worried about him, also the RBs have done a better job of holding onto the ball. I was really surprised we didn't get any takeaways against Idaho St. given their turnover issues, but credit to them, they played a pretty clean game. I expect Weber's passing game and the addition a Reyes back into the lineup to create a few more turnovers this weekend. Would really like to hear Deion's name called after such a hot start early in the season. If Weber is going to mimic Idaho St's 3 step drops and quick passes, I'd like to see our corners jump a few routes .... especially with Reyes in to cover on the back end. 38 -24 UND!!!

I didn't make it up, its from a meme or a t shirt or something. Regardless, Chuck Norris is pretty bad@$$

ugh, I was really hoping to forget that game, but it keeps coming up. I believe Gerbe had a hat trick by the second period and 4 goals in the game. Terrible game in the terrible stretch of years that BC had our number.

I was always a fan of Hak, but I'm not sure I can disrespect Chuck Norris like that.

haha, ok. Just hope the boys can keep winning. All of a sudden Weber is a tough game on the schedule, and NAU (who everyone though would be really tough at the beginning of the season) is starting to look the part after a slow start. Should be an exciting finish, but especially after such a rocky start for UND, it is fun to see the team living up to the preseason hype.

Yeah, Brian has given UND quite a bit of media this year. Recruits are sounding pretty awesome. Exciting things for UND Football.

UND up to #12 in the FCS Coaches Poll

So now Wagner should be pretty much ready to beat Bama

Stony could make a similar argument. Its not always as simple as I beat you so I should be ranked higher. Otherwise SDSU would be up ahead of NDSU.

you're right, this does sound familiar. completely forgot. Wish they would pick up Saturday's too. oh well, at least we get one game on TV.

Stats bumps us to #17 Neither Weber or USD get into the top 25 Stony Brook at #22 MT at #16 Poly at #14 EWU at #3 Somehow Montana St. has more votes than Northern Arizona. Figure that one out.

Any chance, Fox College Sports, Fox Sports North or Fox Sport North Plus picks up this series? A No.1 vs No.2 series, I would think that would be worth of TV.

I know there are some West Fargo bars. Spitfire Bar and Grill is owned by a UND guy and the games are on there. Great food too.

Poor Finley! Been years since he left and he still take it on the chin ... in the clip and on this board. haha

Brian looks like a pre-schooler when his helmet would fall off and he played the part to. I think that kids was just terrified he might take a fist to the face. Rest of the team would be brawlin and he would just lock up with a guy and skate backwards. Finley, was just too slow. I remember him getting torched against Denver. Not that you can expect a guy that big be very fast. For as big as he was, I think it was presumed he would have been a little more of an enforcer. He just like to grab guys by the should pads and try to shake them to the ground. Kind of funny in retrospect, but i suppose if he had ever thrown a punch he may have killed someone.

NCHC just tweeted back to me that the Roku app is still on track for early Nov (11/4 and 11/5) Probably not an issue for many, as those games against the gophers will be on TV, but should be good to go for the DU series. Hopefully without too many hiccups.

Really nice article on HERO. Brian has been giving UND quite a bit of exposure this season which is great to see. Stating the coaching staff is putting together easily one of the top FCS recruiting classes in the nation. Those are pretty hefty compliments of what Bubba and crew are doing. Also liked what Ott and Seguin had to say. I think we've all heard how good Ott can be, but Seguin looks like he could be a total beast! http://herosports.com/news/north-dakota-recruiting-adds-next-stars-fcs-college-football

Got it, I wasn't on the threads much this weekend. Thought a lot of this was from 1 comment I had on Peski. Oh well. On to Duluth!!! Maybe a repeat of last season!

I'm not ready to go all North Dakota State Agricultural Community College on the bit yet. Its not a matter of who needs whom, but how important are rivalries, and what do fans like. Do we NEED them on the schedule, no, but it does make for a fun game for fan who have loved the rivalry for years; on both sides of the fan base. It'll definitely be a money maker. Mariucci will be sold out ... with plenty of Green in the stands. Its the same reason Bubba agreed to go to Fargo twice to play the Bison. I guess, I'm not bothered by the fact that we go there first, as they come right back up next season, and I'm really pumped for the Vegas game. I wouldn't say the Bison NEED us, they have done just fine; but the rivalry games certainly add another element to the season. Gopher are their own worst enemy. They have plenty of talent, but don't have a coach that can put it together anymore. Lucia has a great record over the year, but I think they need to pull a Wisconsin and clean house. Wisconsin needed to move on from Eaves 4 or 5 years ago.

Nobody has been calling out freshman repeatedly ... there hasn't even been time for that. Stating what you see in a game isn't calling someone out as a whipping boy. A player makes a mistake, A fan notices it .... this is a flippin message board, we're here to talk about the team and the games. Calling out some turnovers or mistakes is a far cry from starting a Fire Hak, Boo Berry, or similar thread against a specific player. I don't recall reading anywhere that were were only supposed to post compliments and warm fuzzies on here. You're taking a few simple statements and turning it into people completely bashing freshman. What wrong with discussing the ups AND DOWNS that we saw over the weekend? When someone starts a "Bench Peski" thread or something to that effect, especially after a few games, I'll totally agree with you, but we haven't seen anything even remotely close to that on here.
