  1. Agreed. In 2013 we beat Valparaiso 69-10 ... we may not achieve that score against Drake as they are a better team, but we are a better team than we were in 2013 as well. Regardless the score should be closer to the score from the Valparaiso game, than it was against Drake a few years ago. These kinds of games should be won handily, and whether or not the game is close should not even be a discussion at this point. They need to get out there an take care of business.
  2. It would be great to see Deion jump a route for a pick six this week. I'd love to see the kid get a shot. OR if he gets cut, maybe the Vikes could give him a shot
  3. These are impressive. Strong start to the year!
  4. If I read correctly earlier, this is baby #3. Guy is veteran now; join the 3 club Danny. I'm sure him and his wife were on the same page on this one, and he was probably right back to the little one after practice. I'm all for enjoying your time with the kiddos, especially when they are new, but the reality is, even in the hospital, you can't hold them 100% of the time, they are getting tested a lot, feeding, or sleeping. Its a lot of sitting on a crappy couch/chair and watching bad tv, with a few very memorable moments mixed in. As other's have said, I'm sure Danny is fine, and really .... his family business is none of ours, right? haha
  5. You NEED to fix this man! Chuck the pigskin!!!!
  6. I think they do take UND seriously, but its not like NDSU is a bad school either (as much as we may joke about it on here). I know a lot of very successful people from NDSU. So you can still go get a really good education and play for a perennial powerhouse; I can't argue with their decision. it has been said, to even the playing field UND just needs to win and compete more. Bison have 7 FCS championships; UND has 1 FCS playoff appears; The math isn't all that difficult on this one. UND needs to compete against NDSU and get a win, that will help. But more importantly, UND needs to compete against their whole field of competition, have a winning season and not lose in the first round of the playoffs. NDSU will continue to out recruit UND, as they out recruit most schools until this happens.
  7. I'm really disappointed that Teeder has made the decision to put his job before is football reporting duties. It August! .... I need some reading material to hold me over until Drake!
  8. At the risk of looking too far forward, I do wonder who will be ready to take over at QB next season. I only bring this up because, I would like to see this team dominate some games, and give the backup QBs some more experience. Grover or Schuster? Who will the staff consider more ready to take over next season. Do either get some snaps over Zim? Obviously, you don't want to burn Schuster's redshirt, but he probably wouldn't see more than 4 games anyway. Next year will be a demanding schedule as well, with an FBS game, and joining The Valley. So whoever is going to be "the guy"; it would be nice to have that person get some game time experience this season, if the opportunity it there. Thoughts?
  9. Busch Latte or Miller High Life ..... but if its a late game, Bourbon!
  10. Agreed, it’s also a part of building for the future. If you are in a position to put the game out of reach and let your depth players get some reps, that needs to happen. That is valuable experience for guys that may be your starters in a year or two.
  11. What are our chances of flipping the Old Dominion QB from Canada?
  12. I like the idea that was floated about moving Hergel to DT, if he is capable.
  13. I think Grady might still be contemplating a come back
  14. I do miss the ND logo
  15. I don't know about you all, but I'm getting the itch for some UND football, especially with recruiting picking up for 2020. Before we get there, we have the 2019 season coming up. We say it every year, and I get tired of the same old thing, but is this a year UND can turn a corner and start winning with some consistency? UND has a crazy tough schedule, but if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. The team needs to look at their schedule as less of a challenge and more of an opportunity. There is definitely some talent on the roster, and hopefully there is now a coordinator in place that knows how to use it. Does that mean it will all work out? No, but it definitely makes the season a little more intriguing that if Rudy was still calling his patented 3 and out plays. I figured I'd go back and take a look at some of our new recruits that will be (hopefully already are) on campus. We had some solid names that I forgot about, so who do we see getting their shirt pulled, or at least making the most out of their allotted playing time (without losing their redshirt) Tommy Schuster-Probably not; Ketteringham, Grover, Zimmerman ... and thats my QB order personally) Luke Skokna-This could be a possibility as we lost London, but we still have JJ, Mckinney, Gordon, Sherva so Skokna would need to really show something to burn eligibility, but if the talent it there ..... Elijah Beach - Big kid Chandon Pierre - 3 star kid with several offers, how does he stack up as a freshman. Jay Domingue - Hope the kid sees the field plenty and shows off his FBS experience. Caleb Nelson -3 star kid with several offers, how does he stack up as a freshman. Samuel-Salih Fort - Another big CB recruit, how does he stack up as a freshman. Finally, WHO KICKS??? Thoughts?!?!? Lets get some football chat going!
  16. I was never against women's hockey; the more opportunities the better, right? But if is is not financially sustainable, then the school needs to make some decisions. I had several friends on the women's hockey team when I was in college, and I don't know who all filed this lawsuit, though I have an idea. This is just going out kicking and screaming here. UND is no more obligated to offer women's hockey as it would be with any other program, so long as they comply with Title 9, which I think has been demonstrated multiple times. Just as people preech for people to let go of the Sioux name ... this issue is dead, barring a donor coming in to support it.
  17. Does anyone know what actually happened with London?
  18. What?
  19. This could be addition by subtraction here. Nothing against Hoff, but he never performed to a high level or consistently at UND, there has been plenty of talk about how that recruiting class was a miss in several areas. This one doesn’t bother me at all. that being said, best of luck to the guy!
  20. This may be one of the best trolling posts yet. Keep up the good work! Lol

  22. Are you talking about the first year when they went to the national championship game? The next three years they went to the Frozen Four? Or somewhere in the following 7 years where they made the tourney and a few more Frozen Fours? I know that was a complex questions .... terms like Championship Game, Frozen Four, the tourney are somewhat out of our vocabulary here. I am joking of course. By yeah, I'm getting really sick of the whole Berry experiment. 2016 was fun, sure. But the past few years have been terrible, and not just bad results, but bad hockey. I have found myself incredibly bored watching most games. Berry is too afraid to be the bad guy. Hak figured out how to get the most out of his players, and it wasn't by being their best friend.
  23. UND working on a potential home and home with the Gophers, and a trip Tuscaloosa!
  24. We don't always agree on stuff, but I agree. Kett started great last season and declined as the year went on, but some of that is circumstantial. O Line and Offensive scheme. Not saying he shouldn't shoulder some of the blame, but I say, new slate this year, and whoever is performing should be the guy, If that is Kett, then cool; If it is Grover, then good. I am hoping that whoever it is has more success with the new scheme.
  25. This resonates so much with me. I used to actually get bummed out when the boys would lose. After the past two seasons it just doesn't impact me as much. Maybe that is getting older, maybe that is from watching boring hockey most nights. Unfortunately, it also harder to get into the games when watching them. Poor state for the program, and hopefully they can turn it around and start making runs on a regular basis again.
