unless i'm missing something but marcus is clearly the starter and will be unless the wheels completely fall off? marcus will start next week against poly for sure...there is no controversy.

makes a little nervous to see president kelly out in sacramento smiling in a pic wearing a green shirt that says north dakota spirit??? also bugs me that the word spirit is twice the size of north dakota? btw kelly button up the shirt and lose the aviators

once gene taylor gets a call from his alma mater we can finally get this game going again...pretty sure geno was always the last kid picked for sporting events growing up and has never gotten over it? btw who is taller geno or kolpack?

years ago the alerus spent a bunch of money to make the alerus seem like the home field for the university of north dakota?? they put a football helmet on the southwest entrance they put old school pics in the lobby they hung generic championship banners from the roof (blocking the video screen if you sit high enough?) they put large banners saying university of north dakota at the base of the east and west stands but when they had a chance to make the alerus seem like und's home field....they covered the HOME FIELD with six non-und identifying logo's??? there was a reason terrell owens ran to midfield as a 49er and stood on the Dallas Cowboys logo? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-nxdzgQH8U maybe when hardin catches a td against poly next saturday he will run to midfield and slam the fb down against the alerus logo to get the crowd fired up??

distance between conference schools doesn't mean much anymore for schools like und that charter to most sporting events...i'm assuming that nmsu would be the same in terms of having enough money to fly to whatever conference ends up taking them? ask most athletes would you rather fly a few hours west to missoula, mt (und) or bus 4-6 hours to fort wayne, in (ndac, sdsu, usd, omaha, uni)

my hangup with muss in that fresno game is that when they took possession of the ball down six with a few minutes left he should have told his players and coaches....4 downs, no punts, lets go win this damn game....

court looks great (good mix of black and green and white) but please tell me that that old bsc logo isn't staying there all year? plus it still doesn't look like they have the other bsc banners from the other member schools?

I wouldn't say that's Bohl's swagger helps the ndac win games against fbs schools in as much as they play teams that suck and usually suck bad ball state 2006 5-7 central michigan 2007 8-6 minnesota 2007 1-11 kansas 2010 3-9 minnesota 2011 3-9 colorado state 2012 (we will see how they finish plus about six starters shouldn't have even played in this game anyways)

anything from anyone about tv for this game yet?? hadju?

i'm still mad i didn't get to see the und texas tech game...now that sdsu is broadcasting this game in sd the powers that be at und should do everything they can to get this on tv in north dakota!!!!! come on hadju

i see in the fall 2012 alumni review that Wells Fargo just gave the spirit campaign between 25k-100K....i looked up alerus and they are in the 100k-500k. Can anyone look up see the exact amounts that each company gave the spirit campaign? Just wonderig how close the two donations are (Wells Fargo maybe gives 80k and Alerus 105K?)...just wondering

lets say und is down 6 with two minutes to go and they have 4th and 8 at sdsu's 47 yard line? does muss punt again?

not a big o-line guy but how is brandon anderson doing? if and when joe comes back who sits? dom bennett better get it going....he is too good to not be noticed once this year mackey stinks...time to try someone else younger and see what they can do kennedy week one hit of the game / goard week two hit of the game...did goard sit the rest of the game after that hit or was it just me....he and jablonski need to play more

talked to a couple of guys in town from langdon for the seitz and he said the attendance over there was pathetic on friday night...

talked to a concession employee of the alerus today and he made very clear to me from what alerus "management" has told him....there will never be anything between the two alerus logos.. ever.

ill make a deal with ya...every 4th and 1 we go for this year go ahead and bring sutton in and all the rest of the plays give it to the guys that can actually make a defender miss and then turn on the speed and take to the endzone???

also, mesereau had one tackle in the sd if i remember correctly...cloridon kennedy also had one tackle in limited time and it was a hit that mesereau has had about three years to do but hasn't but took cloridon about one quarter into his und career to pancake a kid.....

i see sparks giving miller a run for his money for the starting spot by the end of the year....i could flip it back on you...why do you have sutton rated so high? but my reason is speed!! miller, garman, shaubagay, and sparks are all faster than sutton and can take it to the house everytime they touch the ball...sutton runs vertically and very straight and that is why he gets hurt...he is an easy target to tee off on because of his running style

hopefully jer doesn't fall too far down the depth chart after his "not playing" but my depth chart after one game is miller sparks jer shaugabay sutton i hope marcus plays so well that there is a qb battle for the sac state game

marcus is gonna be just fine in both the portland game and san diego game...he's gonna make plays with both his arm and his legs in both games and keep in mind that his choices of receivers he is throwing to in these games are much improved (and bigger--jackson and townsend) from when he last played in Missoula....

speaking of nichols why don't our tight ends get more looks?

The best play of the night was when miller caught a short pass by the Big Sky logo and cut upfield to the Alerus logo and changed direction and crossed over to the other Alerus logo and broke a tackle and made it all the way to the Altru logo before being tackled.

i've been the races here in town dozens of times and i do follow nascar...it's not that i don't like racing its just in my opinion the only thing that really needs to be in the paper are results back in d-5 which would free up nelson to cover und athletics a little more now which isn't much....

make wayne the full time race guy and hire someone else to do a little more coverage of und athletics...racing draws that many people because they compete with absolutely nothing else in grand forks in the summer

i'm not too worried about luther college and northern kentucky....Fighting Norse and all the other norse mythology would make UND a lot of money....
