I hope the Pluto feed is as good as it was for Drake, that was the best I have seen it.

Here’s the thing with Bubba, seems like the nicest guy ever, and he could go on to have a decent season, even eek into the playoffs. He seems to lack that killer instinct, and maybe it is unfair to put all of this on Bubba, but he is the head coach. I for one, was very disappointed to se us once again punt when we were already down and it was a short yardage situation. Should have taken a few chances to keep himself in the game though with that offensive showing, I can see why they closed practice this week. I wouldn’t want the media watching something that embarrassing either! seriosuly though, there are some great tools out there. Wanzek; Maag could be special; McKinney was under utilized. also didn’t care for some of friends calls, though some were pretty good. Why are we ever running Maag on a sweep play? Cam, sure! Griebel, sure! Half the other receivers? Nooooooo!!!

All irritating things aside, very impressed with Trey Lance, his skill, his athleticism, his ability to read a play and his execution. Would love to see us get someone even close to that. Nothing against the QBs on our roster, but the past few Bison QBs are just a different caliber.

Well that was fun

I meant more for the upcoming game

Anyone know why the 360 guys haven't put out a write up on the game yet?

Is it Saturday yet?

He only gets that vote because of who he plays for and who has played there before him. If he was on any other team, nobody would know his name, even with a nice first game this year. But when you have an FCS team produce to nfl QBs you are going to get a little extra attention. make no mistake, I don’t say this as a slight to lance, as he will be a very good player, but a heisman candidate? I don’t know about that.

A moose on the field must be an omen, like when Benny the Jet busted the guts out of a baseball. Right?

I don't remember, but I was at that game. It was pretty funny how sad everyone around me was.

There are a few things we can be certain of coming out of this weekend's game. -A UND win puts us in the ranking. -A NDSU loss will drop them from #1 -Either outcome and UNI will continue to climb the polls.

Its not that players need to be history majors on this one, but there should be some awareness of what is considered a big game among fans and the community. Yes, I understand this is not the rivalry it was 15-20 years ago, but still ... -Proximity matters -NDSU has been elite; UND wants to get there -NDSU (especially fans) find UND football inferior; Players should want to prove this wrong as much as fans do. -Younger fans may not care as much about this match up, but there are plenty of older fans on both sides that care about this game. -NDSU player to get up for this game as much, if not more than other; knowing that if they lose there will be some outrage among fans. -Starting this year, we will play you guys every year Lets talk hockey, UND and the Gophers didn't play for several years, and yeah the rivalry felt a little different, but we still wanted to beat them and badly, and that is going to be non-conf going forward. Everything about this game between NDSU and UND is building and rebuilding a once great rivalry. I am not saying a UND win will happen, but a UND win would be the ultimate way to ignite this rivalry into what it was.

You can check Pluto TV. They may replay it at some point.

I like how Zimm played, but are we sure Kett is done? The helmet on the knee looked painful, but I didn’t see his knee buckle or anything.

Agreed, hope it can continue. I understand having to knock some rust off. Just want an offense that we can trust and that will take a little while. D is looking good.

Nice TD!

Nice pick!

And there goes the QB ... f%$@

Every day we would hear about a circus catch or downfield play. Why isn’t that thrown into the game mix? Are they holding back? Do they not trust those plays? I agree it would be nice to see something deep to mix it up, but the play calling has been better than Rudy, at least I think so. But we need to go finish some drives.

I hope the feed is better than in the past

Not disagreeing with you, just glad it got done and quickly.

I'm not prepared to say Kett will steal the show, but remember this is more like the offense he was running at Sac St (or so I have heard), plus he does have plenty of tools to use. I think we could be pleasantly surprise with Kett, and will hopefully see more of a flash of what we thought we would get when he transferred.

I was hoping to see Griebel do more returning. quick, shifty, and not going to get as many reps because we are deep at receiver.

Looks like it is all up there now. Nice to see that Chaves looks at his twitter and follows through.

Less than a week away from the first game of the season and the roster does not even appear to be updated on the Athletics website. There are still names, that we have heard are no longer on the team, and not updated pictures. Seems like this is an issue annually. Doesn't make it seem like these guys take the program as seriously as they should. Frustrating to see on a regular basis.
