Well in @SWSiouxMN absence figured I would start this. Don’t have any commentary to add about the opponent, just that this should be a blowout. This game counts for us but is an exhibition for them. Now what I do want to talk about is how the NCAA needs to fix this scheduling or the mid-majors need to come together to help each other out. We have 3 non-D1 games on the schedule and that’s not including the exhibition game. This isn’t just a UND problem either. NDSU has 3, SDSU has 3 and USD has 3. So seems pretty standard, I just don’t think it should be. They’ve added the Big Sky/Summit challenge so that helps with 1 game. Pair up with the MAC or something for another game or 2. I don’t know exactly how to fix it but I personally don’t want to go to the Betty 3+ times to watch some D2 or NAIA program.

2. Drake and WIU. That guy STUNK

I hated that I argued he deserved the freshman of the year over Zeke.

Watching USD-DePaul right now and I just want to say Paul Bruns has regressed since being here. Now maybe he just wasn’t that good and had the volume stats because of how bad that team was that he was on. His brother looks better than him right now.

I’ve been a Tommy backer most of his career and I still think the guy is a good FCS QB (at least at home) but for this boards sanity, my sanity, everyone’s sanity, I really hope he doesn’t use his Covid year. It’s time for new blood and I wish Tommy the best, he will be in our record books for a long time.

Can you elaborate on what he said?

He’s going to the NFL

I want someone that wants to elevate their career. I’m not saying a 2 year stay and gone for some low level FBS coordinator but if our coach gets poached to be an FBS head coach, that likely means things were going well.

Our defense is playing opportunistic, that’s great but USD is still moving the ball. Gotta keep attacking.

Hunter

I just don’t think you’re going to get a good logo out of this nickname. It’s a bad nickname but I’m just going to embrace it.

It was embarrassing seeing nothing on the helmets. Looked like we were a startup team.

How’s Teiken been this year? Feel like the only DL we talk about is McNaboe and he’s not going to play. Need someone there to step up.

I’m looking for Pedigo to be a man possessed.

Wait why can’t they offer him? He’s a junior right so can’t they offer now? Him and Pearce Parks twitter is loaded with NDSU and SDSU stuff. Really disappointing.

Berg

I always find it funny looking back at these and seeing the refs with the white pants and hats. They look so silly to me but never noticed in the moment obviously.

Think we see Red Wilson this weekend? If we don’t, I am guessing we have seen the last of him in a UND uniform.

We do have one for sure scholarship for this class right? Danielson and T are both for sure gone but I think it’s assumed that Bothun is a 4 of 5 scholarship guy so he’ll take one. Would assume we end up with more than just one but hopefully not too many! Would have enjoyed signing someone today to follow along their senior year.

Yeah I’m guessing with the off the court issues he may no longer be as much of a priority.

Agreed. Don’t burn the tape though, learn from it. We beat Elon by 4 last year and if I remember correctly it felt like we should have won by more. KenPom has us as 7 point favorites. Get a double digit home win and some of the hope for the year will be restored.

I did! Thankfully was able to split it with multiple people.
