Yeah, I saw the email above, right after I posted that. Very disappointing, I guess I'll throw for Roughriders. Really don't care at this point .... anything but SunDogs. Still going to be Fighting Sioux for me.

Whether you did or did not like the idea of UND/North Dakota/No Nickname as an option; the way the committee the president handled that piece of the process was pathetic. Should have either been scratched at the beginning, or left to the final vote not flipped back an forth as it was through the process. Pretty pathetic.

Is there a link to this information?

I was just going to ask about that. What is the deal with the Hartness kids?

Miller just posted the depth chart. I don't see Smith listed anywhere except the pronunciation guide. It will be interesting to see what happens there.

Anything on Iwarri Smith yet? Though he would be getting the redshirt pulled, but I haven't seen his name pop up yet.

Basing my comments completely off of what I have read, as I haven't seen any of these guys recently. Studsrud - recruited by this staff, and finished the season strong last season. Sounds like he is the most mobile guy, which could help buy some time for receivers. Mollberg - I think this would have been a much tougher decision (assuming Studsrud is the starter) if Mollberg hadn't been injured. I'm sure as he continues feeling more comfortable on that leg, he will get his chance. Especially if Studrud struggles at all Bartles - Seems like this guy just can't find any consistency. Big strong kid and throws a nice deep ball, but never seems to really control the game or seperate from his competition. I have read several times through fall camp that a receiver made a nice deep catch, which usually seem to come from Bartles. Need this guy to find more of the 5-15 yard plays, and keep the chains moving. Not sure if he just has trouble finding receiver, but this guy needs to have some more consistency. Again, these comments are based mostly on what I have read, and from what I have seen in the past. Frankly, I could care less who starts, just want to see them get the job done, and get more of a passing game than last season. Any word on how Heidlebaugh (spelling?) has done this fall? Would be nice to have him groomed for this team in a few years. Sounds like a really big kid.

Bahahahaha

to get back on track .... Anyone know much about this new QB WYO has? They all seem pretty high on him, and I think we have seen first hand what a solid transfer QB can accomplish in the right situation, from what Braeden Hanson did here.

Pure speculation based on what has been said about these guys. And immaturity in this sense isn't necessarily a bad thing against them. I though about going to Moorhead St to wrestle in college. Decided I had enough of that part of my life, and wanted a different college experience. No shame is deciding that college sports isn't a route they wanted to take.

Yeah, I'm not going to say that we couldn't get blown out. To be fair, some of them are looking at our getting dominated by SJSU last fall, in which we did get throttled by a pretty poor Spartans team (who did beat Wyoming). BUT it was also the first game under a new coach, along with a significant number of freshman. My best guess, is that both teams have improved, and I just don't see this being a blowout either way. This is also a WYO team that beat MT 17-12, while we only lost to MT 18-15. Direct comparisons don't always tell the tale, but the bottom line is, that there is nothing that WYO has done to indicate that they are dominant enough to flatten anyone. I think this game will come down to matchups. From what I read, it sounds like they are really strong on the run, which should play into our strength on D. Even if they do want to "chuck the pigskin", I still think we are pretty solid on D. Key for UND will be to get a lead early and control the clock.

Haha well go tell them that.

That's a shame. Although I would be willing to bet that when they get some workers in their to clean the place up, it will be the most people in that arena since the last time UND was there. But seriously, hope they get it cleaned up soon.

Pretty funny stuff on the Wyonation blogs. Most, not all, believe that UND will absolutely get steamrolled. I agree that Wyoming is definitely the favorite, but by no mean should the prediction be a 30pt WYO win. Do I expect UND to go in an win this game, based on where they were last year. Not necessarily. I would like to see us go in and be competitive and give ourselves a chance to win. Just surprised me how good WYO fans expect to be, and how terrible they expect UND to be. Almost as if they are playing a D3 school. Aside from the actual game, there is chatter about how UND stole the interlocking ND from Notre Dame. Also really funny to see a few of the Bison fans that go onto the Wyoming/UND thread, just to bash UND. Almost like because Bohl is coaching there, they are all buddies. Bison fans apparently know the ins and outs of UNDs roster and their strength and weaknesses from last season. Though I would have figured most of these same posters would also admit they wouldn't watch a UND game because it would be a waste of their time. It amazes me, the lengths and some (not all) Bison fans will go just to rag on UND (a school that these some poster claim they don't have a rivalry with anymore)

This is kind of the impression I got of them, based on different stories from people on the message boards who knew them. Sounds like they were good high school athletes but never the most committed. Probably want more to enjoy college and friends and good times than to play football. Understandable, but too bad. I know they were not scholarship athletes, but it sounded like they could have been pretty good if they had put the work in.

I think you meant to ask if he is drinking STILL

Anyone know how this last team has been? Any chance we just match up well with these teams, or have there been some big surprises with our players. I was under this impression this wouldn't not be a very strong year, and that next season we were supposed to be a little deeper and a little more talented. Then again, while I like to follow UND, basketball is a sport I just don't know much about. Any chance we can make a splash this year, or were we supposed to win all of these European games?

Would Jost be comparable to our expectations for Boeser? Higher? Lesser? Big time scorer?

Great News!

At this point who do we see having their redshirts pulled? I assume Oliveira and Smith for sure. Who else?

Does anyone know how this Italy Dream Team compares to who they beat yesterday?

thanks for the updates. Hopefully the RB injuries are not too bad, and they will hopefully be back soon. Great to hear the D is looking strong.

disgusting

Good news, and thanks for all the updates. Always look forward to reading more about this team. Can't wait for the season to start.

How do the new CBs look so far?
