I'll agree with you for the most part. I'm not read to say "easily" after the curb stomping we got from Montana, but our secondary should definitely be much better next season. What I really like is that our toughest opponents next year are at home, which is great.. Also I think this team learned a lot after losing to Idaho St and Weber St. This team should be ready to play a full four quarters, in every game next season. Just need to beat Stony Brook and then be ready for a big time FBS game. If they can pull that off, then this team will have some serious confidence.

First thought .... an sweet indian head moniker makes for a great sports logo

Correct, forgot about E. Wash. And while I agree, its totally fine, it is still a little irritating.Oh well, preseason standing don't really matter anyway, but it would be nice to see these players get a little more respect.

Wow, it sounds like the kid also had an offer from W. Illinois. Hard to believe he passed on a "playoff" team.

Anyone care to bet on how little respect UND gets in the preseason Big Sky polls next year? I'll bet that we are behind Portland State, Montana, Southern Utah, and Northern Arizona.

Meindel seemed to do well, when they let him handle a few kickoffs. Why not just have him take all of them?

I guess I haven't heard the specific story, but when I was at the NDSU/USD game (in my sioux shirt) I got plenty of sioux suck !@#$ jeers, but its all in good fun. Nothing wrong with a little ribbing. I think some people tend to get too sensitive, especially when their team loses. And yes it happens at UND too. I remember being in college around 10 years ago and seeing people yelling some pretty rude things to a guy wearing gopher gear, who was with his little girl (maybe around 4) ..... every fan base has some terrible fans.

Cloyd and Allen can be our Gronk and Hernandez ..... minus the felon ....... hopefully

Very interesting Can't say enough that I am just happy that UND Football is getting back to being competitive. I'm already so pumped to see what these guys do next season. I just hope there is more hype in Grand Forks to get the Stadium full. If the Alerus can get back to full AND the team puts together a strong season, then this program could be well on its way to being back to where is was. I think a big key to this is getting the fans to the game, then putting on a great show for them. Just really pumped for more UND Football.

Definitely glad that we play Stony Brook before Bowling Green. Should give our team a chance to get comfortable on the field before playing a much tougher opponent. Hopefully our guys just stay healthy.

mine was much better last night. Not good but better. Tonight it has either been glitchy or blurry. Makes ya really appreciate the job that UND does.

now not that I know much about the rugby kid, or how he is performing, but I really don't think bartels should be the backup. Really not impressed with the kid.

During a Christmas season that is about giving, UND just cares more... um, thats why we gave that game back to you guys ... um, right? No?

Agreed, he will only get better too. Next year he just needs to eliminate flexing his muscles after he lays a nice hit, and getting 15 yd penalties. I'm sure he got chewed out for that one when he did it, but we don't need guys showboating and getting personal fouls.

I'll be watching on TV from Mpls, but it is definitely getting discouraging to watch Jones team. I don't care how good UNI is, that kind of beat down is just unacceptable. Looks at SDSU and USD; both who have beat the goofs. Put our team out their, and I beat we get blown out. Not because we don't have the talent, it is more so the style of play. I watched the first part of the second half against waldord, and after seeing missed shot after missed shot after missed shot, I had to turn the channel. Hope the boys can compete on Friday though. Good win against Bradley, hopefully this team finds momentum.

Psh, those plates sure look like painted Styrofoam to me

It was SOOO loud, even on TV

Can't wait to hear just how loud they yell Sioux at the end of the anthem. One giant middle finger to the NCAA and that a$$ clown, Kelley.

gross

The only thing that would concern me at safety, is can the kid hit? He didn't look comfortable taking a hit at RB, which makes me wonder if he could deliver one. WR just seems to fit for a kid like that, but the coaches know way more than I do. I have to think he was able to play RB in high school purely because of his speed. When he hit a hole, he looked great, but when he need to shake of a hit, or bounce off of a guy he looked pretty rough. If he moves to defense, it would have to be to improve coverage, because I just don't see him being a big hitter like Reyes. Could be wrong though. I just hope the coaches find a good spot for him because he is too much of an athlete to not work on to the field. Kind of a shame that he couldn't have kept his redshirt, considering how limited of an impact he ended up having this year.

Doesn't surprise me. Question is, would Nike built a facility to contend with the Ralph? They definitely have the money over there.

Agreed, unless you are going to lump all sports in to the Big10 and not just hockey. If UND hockey ever moved to the Big10 we would lose all ability to call the shots. UND just would would not have the negotiating power to dictate anything and would have to bow down for the conference. Big10 hasn't worked out very good as a conference, so I would hope UND has zero intentions of moving. I feel like I remember hearing that NCHC didn't want Notre Dame because they wanted to dictate everything, move to the Big10 and you're going to get that mentality from 6 schools

I second that. Those updates were always great to read.

My bad, I tried checking for a 2016 thread before starting one, but I must have missed yours.

Sure hope so, because I think it would be a blast to go tailgate that one, regardless of where it is. Really disappointed I couldn't be in Fargo for the game this year. Made it up for the NDSU/USD game and had a blast tailgating. Hope to make it back for some good tailgating again next year.
