One thing to realize about the 1500 students you will get, most of them will be those that are actually interested in the game and willing to make the noise. You'll get those seated down by the sidelines willing to heckle, willing to make noise, and willing to put doubt into the opposing team. Those 1500 will be the loudest of the students, and hopefully they will motivate the season ticket holders and other general admission to make noise as well. Last week I was truly disappointed in the large number of absences present in the season ticket holder sections on the UND sidelines. Please criticize them before criticizing the large number of students that showed up to support the team against an inferior opponent last week. mg2009, I'm not saying you're criticizing, that is more of a general statement to other posters that have been negative/critical towards the student section in the past. I agree with just about everything you say in your post except I'm predicting a UND win.

Yeah, I was hoping it would go through the season like "Through These Doors." Pretty disappointing that it's not.

UND lost quite a bit from last year, it'll take a little bit of time to find the people that feel comfortable stepping into those sizable shoes but I think within a few weeks they'll get their feet under them and get back to playing closer to last years level.

His deep pass to Hardin down opponent sideline was the play after breaking the leg I think. A bit underthrown, but still a good throw for chucking it over a broken fibula and not knowing exactly what was wrong at the time.

My guess would be that it would be similar to what they have on Memorial right now.

Wasn't there talk of putting in another parking garage on the lot immediately across from Memorial? If I'm not mistaken, they were going to put that parking garage in, then convert the rest of that lot into the soccer field/track. Likely then they'd just have the overflow parking at REA and bus over similar to how they bus overflow parking to the REA now.

Awesome article though and a well-thought out coat of arms.

Go to the Toasted Frog downtown. I actually prefer it so Sanders. Fun environment, creative menu, excellent food.

I've gotta I'm equally, if not more, excited for the volleyball season as I am for football. I've always been a football first guy, but have fallen in love with the volleyball team through the transition!

Three years ago UND was in the middle of the transition to FCS, playing a perennial power in their own home yard, were winning at one point, and only lost by 10. What does all of this mean for the game this year? Absolutely squat. Both teams are different and we'll find out in a couple months. Thank all that is holy that forum trash talking doesn't dictate what happens on the field

I predict more wins...if we can hit free throws!

A persistent troll this one. If not a troll, then, well I'm just speechless.

Which usually involves you putting down something that other people like. Ask the majority of current football players which they would prefer, the baggy jerseys of the 70's or the current tight jerseys and almost every single one of them will tell you the current model, especially anyone that has to run with the ball. Which should UND take into account when designing the new jerseys, the opinion of someone who will never play another snap, or the current and potential players in their program?

Gotta agree but at the same time there simply was not a lot of running in the spring game. You could see the coaches wanted to evaluate the QB position and so just about every play was a pass it seemed.

To me the white line was the weaker or more inexperienced one. It could have been pass rush but I think it was more OL fault. There were flashes of some good pass protection, but not enough to see what all the offense could do, at least not like what the green team accomplished.

To me the offensive lines were the difference in this game. Bradley was given time to throw and he didn't disappoint. You can see the difference a year can make. Aside from a few errant throws (the one interception and likely should have been another), I think he was the best QB today. Problem with Hansen is that you never really got to see him sit in a pocket and make a throw, the green defense was on him all day. Some pretty exciting plays and plenty of reasons to be excited for next season. Hardin is a stud, Townsend had the catch of the day, and Jackson is definitely a load to bring down. I like the confidence in McGill as well. Our receiving corps is definitely going to be a strength.

I'm withholding my vote until I actually can see them in action. I work while the practices are going on and was out of town for the last scrimmage, so all I have is other's hearsay. You'd think though, that Braden would be the guy for this year.

I think lacrosse has a better shot than wrestling right now of being the sport instead of baseball.

You have inside information on this or just feel like being opinionated?

I think we need to throw far more than last year (total understatement) but we also had an impressive ground game, even as teams stacked the box against us. We can't just forget the successes we had there.

Was it just me or did anyone notice our third line out there pretty often with Minnesota's top line? I know that Mario's first goal was against the top line, can't remember if his second was or not. Just seemed that everytime I saw Mario, Gleason, and Pattyn out there I also saw the UM topline. Great win, great comeback, great story. This team has come so far since the beginning of the year it's hard to believe. Hakstol has done an outstanding job and his job security definitely should not be in question after this.

Amazing game, what a great comeback and a strong finish.

Need to get back to attacking the rim. It's what got us back in the game, that and solid defense.

Going to need some big minutes by Allard here

This is really hard to listen to right now. I know it's our radio guy but the officiating sounds somewhat suspect. But seriously what are our guys doing? They can't do anything on offense and the defense sounds horrible. How can you go 8 minutes without scoring? Seriously?!
