NDSU got lucky a guy caught a screen pass a yard past the line of scrimmage which negated a TD for Davis.
Davis looks good. Got some athletes.
why is that a penalty and is that reviewable? (reading hawkins lips he didn't it was)

I 100% agree with this. It happens in many cities similar to the size of Grand Forks and Minot. You see it in the residential real estate as well. One company owns the majority of the land, builds the majority of the homes, and sells the majority of the homes, so they essentially control the market and drive the price up as much as they can to keep homes selling. Crary...
IMO the Grand Forks economy seems to be in an even worse hurt bag than Minot, which is saying something. Every time I come to town stores seem to be more and more empty with not really anything new going on for shoppers or visitors. I'm sure I will get squawked at again for stating the obvious about Grand Forks, but their economy is 100% for certain in a downward spiral. Even the majority of the Canadians seem to be bypassing GF for Fargo now. That's a bad sign when they're willing to go over 140 more miles just to shop. Yes Canadian traffic is also down a little bit due to the exchange rate, but there's more of an issue of them bypassing GF from what I've seen. I'm sure the folks from TRF, Bemidji, Grafton, Devils Lake, Park River and so on are doing the same thing.
No one should be surprised that Bed Bath and Beyond is closing. It's just another large store with an empty parking lot the majority of the time. Next on the chopping block is Furniture row, Kohl's, Hobby Lobby, Micheal's, Old Navy, Gordman's, Best Buy, the entire mall, and probably some others. Yes retail in general is struggling this day and age, but why does Grand Forks seem to be having so much more of a problem? What is the city trying to do about it? Or are they continuing to deflect the issue all together? What does mayor Brown have to say about it?
We don't even need to talk about Altru, because everyone knows they're not winning any awards and probably losing customers daily to Sanford in Fargo.
If you ask me, I think the Columbia Mall will no longer be around in under 2 years, and the remainder of those businesses I mentioned will be closed within the next 5 years. Will the flagship stores of WM, Menards, Lowe's, Target and Scheels be enough to keep bringing people into town? Or is Grand Forks eventually just going to kneel to Fargo for all shopping and entertainment? I've also noticed more HWY 2 folks coming to Minot to fly, and judging by the data, it looks like a lot of them are choosing to drive to Fargo to fly out as well. Just another kick in the shorts for Grand Forks. I don't get what the issue is there.
How are the GF folks not more upset about this obvious issue? It almost seems as if most don't even acknowledge it , so maybe that's the underlying reason behind it all.
A few things I've noticed that actually seem to be doing well in GF (on the weekends anyway) are Menards, Target, Great Clips, Scheels and ALL of the restaurants on 32nd other than Arby's. I've also noticed that AMC somehow revived themselves because they've looked pretty steady or busy the last few weekends I've seen, whereas 2 years ago it looked like they were hanging on by a thread. Did they remodel?
amc got more aggressive with their pricing...including a plan where i think you can see umlimited movies or at least a bunch if you buy a pass.

Haga makes upward of 100k, which I still cant comprehend. GF has a city administrator and mayor, still not sure why Pete makes over 100k.
bernstrom needs a a raise tho

just keep voting for mayor brown and it will all be okay?

I was under the impression that if you break the law there are consequences
‘I believe minors would be treated that way too
too much emphasis put on drinking at tailgating
i talked to a couple students at the game that could hardly walk no,less drive, they were 21
its not worth looking the other way just to get students at the game
lower the drinking age to 18 and we're good. 18 for everything...voting, booze, guns, military service, (call me weird but i don't think people should be allowed to drive til their 18...)

looking at the Jets new/old jersey's...that look would look nice for the football team with just the word "hawks" on their helmets...get rid of the grey and add black back in (like when dressler and chappel played)...glossy helmets instead of matte too!

There was a significant police presence this week. Has it always been like that? I guess I never realized 6 or more cops were there before.
the more minor's they pass out weigel can use that for his next run for higher office.

wanna have more students ACTUALLY go into the game? remove the 50/50 chance that they get a minor from the Gestapo if they have even had one sip outside tailgating?
they aint taking the risk...

The Bison want to maintain regional dominance. Big fish in small pond. I'm not sure they want to join a Power 5 conference.
success in the fcs has no correlation to a moveup to FBS...either you move up and be an indy like Liberty (SiouxVolley correctly predicted btw) or you get a conference invite...NDAC aint doing the first or getting the second anytime soon regardless of how many D1-AA titles they win.
the summit/bsc/mvfc move up is theeeeee only way to FBS for all scholls in this region.

If they punt right there UND would’ve had a big fat L tonight
wonder just what yard on fourth down was the safety gonna be called by bubba? the five? the ten? the twenty??

HOW on earth are we seeing the exact same kicking and punting issues that hurt this team so badly a year ago?! How does that go unfixed?
Punting average under 35 yards. Gross. And if you just looked at stats you at least wonder if hangtime is at least good to make up for that? Nope.
One, maybe 2 touch backs in 3 games? Probably averaging the 7-8 yard line? Gross
Already have a missed XP only the 3rd game in. And it most certainly played a factor in decisions being made late in the game.
what are the odds that if we had to actually punt with our punters feet on the endline that he gets that off and that it is more than 35 yards down the field. luckily the safety was the correct and easy call

The wife and I were so bummed as we drove toward the Alerus and saw waves of students walking north back toward campus about an hour before kickoff. Obviously they had been there for the tailgate, but took off as people started filing n for the game.
yep...the tailgating might be too much for some...the people LEAVING ten minutes before the game has even started is crazy. there are tons of people walking back to campus half drunk.

It most certainly was. No doubt about the fact that the D was stout and they sealed this win. And it also wasn't lost by a third string QB that was playing high school football a year ago!
agreed.

Schuster's whole performance was eye-popping if you ask me, given it was his first college action and the situation he was put in.
assuming he knew he was second string going into the game which meant he knew he needed to be ready...he completed about 50 percent of his passes and led them on two scoring drives in almost three and a half quarters.
this game was won by the defense.

I also think that punting is becoming a huge liability. If you are punting from the 25 there is no reason they should be fair catching at other 40. You should be going at least 45 yards in the air. That actually flipped the field in Sam's favor a couple times today, whereas their punter was booming it. I remember when our special teams were about as good as it could get. Awesome kicker, strong punter etc. Can't believe we don't recruit these better. Need to spend some scholarship money and not hope that the walkon will be good enough.
pretty simple fix...fire kostitch. problem solved.

That is another problem.........
He fair caught at least two punts today that were returnable. Not sure if he is being told to do that, but if Greibel is supposedly one of the few speedsters on this team, he needs to run with a few of them from time to time........
agreed...seems like a few were returnable.

Not even close actually. Houston Baptist is an FCS program from the Southland conference (same league as Sam Houston).
However they are rather new, and not all that good. It's not a great look for USD or the Missouri Valley FB Conference..........
hbu had won 2 games in the last two years...their program is only about five years old..and they almost scored 60 points...and the game was at vermillion.

bb is our best bet at qb if we keep these rpo plays in the playbook...other than the first throw of the second half to wanzek none of the passes tommy made were eye-popping. brock would have had 150 yards rushing in this game and would have made the defense key on those rpo's.

Or it says a lot about Schuster's abilities.
or about a guy that has been "coached" by the und staff for a couple of years now versus a kid straight out of high school football?

I'm guessing the freshman looks better in practice. I thought Schuster did pretty damn good in a tough spot.......
that's saying a lot of about's grover's abilities as a qb....can he punt?
