Bubba has said even most recently as the fundraiser they had a few weeks ago at Hope Church that he has had conversations in the last 3 years that he always saw Hunter as a captain of this team. And he motivated Hunter to not only be a leader off the field but be a leader on the field as well. Hunter won't be playing on the field for UND football next year. But, Bubba has already told him that he is still a part of this team. He will still have a locker. No one is wearing number 36 next year, that's his number. Hunter is a part of the 2020 UND football team. Since he can't contribute on the field, I can see no better role for him than being one of the captains for this team this year. I would not be surprised one bit if it were to happen.

As much as I want it to be Vaughn, I want him to have year in the college system watching and learning from practices and games. the Valley is a beast and I think it would be beneficial to learn the system for a year before being tossed to the wolves that is the MVFC. As far as everyone else mentioned, if they prove they can play after 4 games, let them play!

Online auction for Hunter this Saturday only. Some great items to bid on. https://www.32auctions.com/PinkeStrong

Get the logo (or modified logo with just the white hawk) on both sides of the helmet.

Seattle Kraken??!! https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/hockey/nhl-seattle-doesnt-rule-out-kraken-for-team-name-after-report-suggests-it-has-already-been-chosen/

New uniforms? Hadn't hear that.

I guess the UND Code of Conduct would clarify what is deemed a "threat" in regards to UND students and UND employees. Sure, a UND student athlete calling out another head coach of another program certainly doesn't look good and probably shouldn't be done, but clarification needs to be made if what Weatherby did (if tru) falls under the definition of a threat and if disciplinary action needs to be taken.

Any internet feeds available for this game?

"Every aspect of the new name, mascot and colors were chosen by the Eveleth, Gilbert and Virginia communities through a community-wide vote hosted by the school districts." “The best part is, this is what the public voted to do,” The right way to choose a new name and especially a logo.

A community-wide prayer and fundraising event for Hunter Pinke was held tonight at Hope Church in Grand Forks. Put on in partnership with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) which Hunter is heavily involved in. Whether you are a person of faith or not, this is a great testament to people of all backgrounds coming together in support of a inspiring young man. Message from Hunter and Bubba at the 41 minute mark. I encourage all to watch. #PinkeStrong https://fbwat.ch/1qnaU7xcK1LuKa2v

The no goal sucked, but so did giving up 2 goals on the first two shots. Don’t put yourself in a position where you need a late goal to win. Come out tomorrow with some urgency.

So I realize camp is a long ways away, but who does everyone think is the frontrunner for the QB1 job this coming season? Schuster seems to be in the lead for the position. I don't see Grover moving ahead. I like how Freund uses Boltman. I think they need to have him pass the ball more so that opposing defenses don't just play the run because that is what he does the majority of the time he is in there. Gonna have a redshirt freshman in Schuster and 2 true freshman quarterbacks on the roster next year. With the redshirt rules now, I hope we can see Quincy Vaughn get in there. (hopefully after we are up big in the second half )

NDSU is never going to move up to FBS in its current state. Only "move up" is if the P5 schools split off and the G5 and select FCS schools create a new devision of football. The reason NDSU won't go FBS....$$$$$$$$$$. Going FBs costs A LOT of money. NDSU can't afford it. Traveling to MWC or MAC schools costs money. NDSU can't afford it. Can we all just stop the "NDSU to FBS" talk? It is NEVER going to happen.

UND 2020 Football schedule with 2019 overall record (*2019 playoff team). Valparaiso 1-11 @Kansas St 8-5 @Youngstown St 6-6 South Dakota St.* 8-5 Missouri St. 1-10 W. Illinois 1-11 @Portland St. 5-7 South Dakota 5-7 @Illinois St * 10-5 @NDSU * 16-0 S. Illinois 7-5 This year we play 5 teams that had a winning record in 2019. (K St, SDSU, Illinois St, NDSU, and S. Illinois.) The other 6 games are definitely winnable. Especially considering 3 of those teams only had 1 win last season and they are all at home (Valpo, MO St., and W. Illinois). Even though we play some MVFC bottom dwellers from last year, our SOS in the Valley will still be pretty good ?(In regards to playoff selection). 7 wins will probably be the number of wins this team needs to get to in order to make the playoffs. Win the 6 games we are supposed to and find a way to at least win 1 of the other 5 games.

Is that Hendricks the typical holder? Seems like JMU would have noticed that. Pretty sneaky move if he got in there undetected!! Definitely the play of the game and one hell of a play call.

Guys. North Dakota State didn’t win the Championship today.....

https://www.facebook.com/groups/443827783164712/permalink/452456855635138/ We all go through tough times in our lives. But what Hunter is going through, hopefully none of us have to ever experience. The positive attitude Hunter has shown through all of this is simply amazing. He has every right to be sad, mad, and frustrated. But that's just not in his DNA. He continues to inspire me and thousands of others with his attitude of never giving up and working hard. I don't know what the future hold for Hunter. But one thing I am almost certain of is that Hunter will use this experience for the greater good. He will be a light to those who fell like they are in darkness. He will encourage others with his attitude, work ethic, and his big smile all the time no matter what.
