To be fair I'm not sure that is an accurate comparison. I'm sure they get more wored up over Indiana St. and Missouri St. than they would against Sacramento St. or Idaho St. I also think they would get more pumped up for UNI or SDSU over MT or EWU. This last years MT game was a bit of an exception with the ESPN exposure.

Maybe we should consider moving Studrud to Center, and Aplin to QB too?!?!?!

Hopefully moving Iwarri from RB to WR can pay the same dividends as moving Santiago from WR to RB.... thats not asking for too much, is it?

They definitely need to do something on 3rd downs. I was at a Bison game last year, and I couldn't even tell what they were all saying, but they get the whole darn place into it. UND needs to just get a little more creative, and do something with the video boards and the music to get people into it.

Are you sure you're not an engineer?

^AND THIS

^This hahaha

I love the band too, heck I was in the band back in the day ... for football, hockey and basketball. Hockey seems to find a balance with the band, the other sports can too. In addition to football, what is the game day atmosphere like for basketball? It has been a long time since I have been up to GF for a game. Seems like they could turn those lights out too, and put a spotlight on the players during the intros; or do they currently do that?

This is huge! I know this isn't a guarantee that he will be back, but it certainly appears to be heading in the right direction. Having Grady here next fall would be a huge relief for our O-line .... and probably for Santiago too.

Unbelievable, didn't this kid have an off the field issue a few years ago too? Gets another chance, and does well, then still screws it up. I don't want to judge too much, since we don't know what happened, but this seems a bit ridiculous.

haha, and boom goes the dynamite!

Yeah, pretty sure that is Reyes. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Nevermann is a beast, but I just saw a clip on twitter of a Penn State Freshman RB cleaning 390 .... ridiculous.

Like how Brock Boeser is gonna hang another 3-4 goals this weekend against Western?

Unless you are talking about preseason conference picks?

Agreed, this team has the potential to make the finals ... heck they could even win it. They also have the capability to be #1 or #2 next year. However, in no way is our potential ranking next year dependent on how we finish in the Big Sky Tourney this year. We could win out and make the NCAA tourney, then have a bad year next year OR we could lose out in the first round of the Big Sky Tourney this year and then come back strong to dominate next season. One is not dependent on the other. Either way, we will return significant talent next year.

Seriously guys ... everyone needs to relax. I started this, purely joking, about who was going to be the coach next year....since obviously Chuck Fletcher is going to hand the job to Bubs with an offer he can't turn down. Then we can further mock the gopher fans about how great UND is and what a joke The Don is.

Agreed, hopefully he turns out to be solid. As much as I would like to talk up his height, we could also say that about baskketball .... Got a nice 7' by the name of Shanks who has been less than impressive this year But seriously, if he has the physical piece, then I hope he has the decision making skills too.

No thanks! Friday/Saturday series are perfect. Thats how it always was growing up (even when I was a gopher fan), and I would personally not want to see it any other way.

I would like to know when (if it does happen) we can expect to hear something concrete on Grady. Rumors that he is all about coming back to school, and the coaches are willing to work with him are great; but when do we hear that he IS back and IS eligible? Is that an early summer kind of thing? Or is that something that would come out right before fall camp? I assume it depends on what he would need to do in school this summer, and how much he could complete in school, but I'm really anxious to at least hear a rough timeline.

Agreed, I would have preferred to see Joe get a chance too, but I've never been a big Bartels fan. As far as I'm concerned, Bartels should (and probably will be) 3rd on the depth chart when the season starts. He showed in his limited action last season that he is just not capable enough. At that point, get the next guy in to get some experience. Hopefully Studs stays health the back QB question in a non-factor.

^This!

Stupid Fabbro!

Hahaha, Yes. He said he wan't nothing to do with the NHL after the recent article about goofer hockey. There are too many NHL scouts that are big meanies.

Haha, I actually almost wrote it that way too. It would also be a wonderful bit to torture the Gopher faithful with. Not only is their coach not as great as many like to believe but UND is now sending 2 head coaches to the pros and one to MN! That being said, I'd rather see him win it all and bring multiple titles back. Hopefully Berry sticks around for quite a while.
