He will. And we will lose by 12

Anyone else but Rebraca gonna show up?!!

Big series next weekend. We could really bury the Dogs with a sweep!!

And an 8 point lead in the conference. Thank you St Cloud!!

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.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4857480-UND-promotes-Brett-Holinka-to-defensive-coordinator#.XheU8ICHbVw.twitter "Holinka said UND will continue to run a 3-4 defense."

I think the Mariucci Classic will be the games at Target Field if they decide to do it. They typically do it around that weekend anyway. Why not have 4 fan bases all located in Minnesota purchase 3 game ticket passes January 2nd and 3rd. Makes too much sense not to do it.

Autobids to all FBS Conference Champions: SEC - LSU AAC - Memphis Big 10 - Ohio St. Mt. West - Boise St. ACC - Clemson Sunbelt - Appalachian St. Big 12 - Oklahoma Conf. USA - Florida Atlantic Pac 12 - Oregon MAC - Miami (OH) At large bids to the next 6 teams using the current ranking system Georgia Baylor Wisconsin Florida Penn St. Utah Seed the teams based on the current ranking system (avoiding conference head to head rematches) Highest seed hosts in first two rounds. Semifinals are Bowl games, and Championship game remains the same.

So hire someone that does know how to run it. Relinquish control of the defense fully to the new DC and let them run it. It's not like Bubba has no clue how a 4-3 defense sorks. They scheme against it virtually every game.

Bonus points to any alive the last time UND ran a 4-3 defense

Biggest argument for people against expanding the playoffs is "every game matters". Well, in this scenario, getting a top 4 seed is huge. Hosting a quarterfinal game and getting a bye when your opponent just played the week before is a huge advantage. As long as the TV revenue (which would be massive" is shared amongst the schools or conferences of teams participating, this would be a no brainer. Think hoer amped everyone gets about the NCAA basketball tournament. This would be no different. Of course, this makes too much sense, so it will never happen.

Only thing that is going to prevent it from happening is ejecting players from the game like they do in College. Even of Clowney would have been flagged for it, it is probably worth it if he has to leave the game in his mind. Eject these players from the game and they will think twice about doing it.

Imagine an FBS playoff that mirrors the NFL. Only with no Conferences (and no reseeding after the first round). Teams ranked 1-12 get in with the top 4 teams getting a bye. First and second round games are hosted by the higher seed. Semifinals and Championship still remain the same with 2 Bowl games and the Championship game. Imaging 11 FBS playoff games instead of just 3!!

Well, He nailed the OC hire!!

If there is going to be a college game at Target Field, UND will be playing. There is no other fan base that travels as well as UND fans. No chance UMD would fill even half the stadium, Look at the Regional in Fargo a couple years ago. Look at the Frozen Faceoff. Heck, look at their home games. Bulldog fans aren't coming out in droves and traveling to games now. A UMD/UAH game at Target Field would be a disaster for attendance.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/443827783164712/permalink/449977489216408/ Jan. 6, 2020 day ten update: Our big win of the day happened early this afternoon when Hunter was discharged from St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, Colo. and transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colo. Craig solely focuses on the rehabilitation of traumatic spinal and brain injury patients. There are about 88 beds in this facility and now begins “training camp” as Hunter said today. I asked any insight he wanted to share tonight and he said, “See ya’ in three months!” Then after some pause, he said, “You know that feeling before that really big game? You try to envision how to respond in certain situations? I am feeling it. Except it’s not a quarter or a half. It’s for three months. The start matters just as much as the finish. Start fast. Finish strong.”
