Griz too high? Tough to do an accurate poll till midseason though cause who really knows how good anyone is.

Perfect example of how rankings work. Bungum was dropped to a 2 star after giving UND a verbal.

Unfortunately the interlocking nd was not uniquely ours even though we had it first by a wide margin. That didn't meet the guidelines for the rebranding.

Rankings..... Literally don't mean !@#$. I stopped even looking at stars and all that once I found out how they work. It's all bs.

Depends on how matte. Too much and yea it's just grey. Oregon did a nice one once.

The green jersey says North Dakota on it and is green so that's good enough for me. I'd love a matte silver helmet to go with it. Now that would look great and make it more of a throw back but a modern twist.

The pants are identical.

Grey is a school color on the same level as white and black and was used in the 70s by the football team with great success.

Nope, $50 for a bunch of sour grapes instead.

Nice thing about Kruse is he looks fairly lean already and is at 290. He won't have to waste time trying to get lean before building up muscle.

That's ideal for a rookie. Not sure what the fuss is about.

He's a damn animal. Watch his hudl film.

I think Coe is going to turn some heads. His tape was the real deal. I think we'll be ok on the line.

Some people like a challenge. I'm more worried about what our team is doing than trying to find chinks in their armor.

Their big recruit from Minot is coming back. Maybe we should keep our rocks in our hands until we move out of the glass house.

Bout time.

It seems like a majority of Yote fans think they're gonna come up here and handle us, mostly because they MVFC and we're Big Sky. Can't blame them for using our NDSU and Drake games as measuring sticks but NDSU played flat against them and was out for blood against us and our offense was a complete mess against Drake. We each also played Davis with similar results even though they were on the road.

From Yote 53 on AGS "I am sure there will be some growing pains but as a whole I am more confident in this entire coaching staff than the previous one. I think that will be a net gain for the Coyotes. I think Chris Streveler coming in at QB will bring a dynamic element to the offense that gives them some big play ability. You need that in this conference as it is very difficult to pound out 3-4 yards at a time all the way down the field against Valley defenses. Assuming Streveler earns the starting nod, that gives USD a solid backup in Ryan Saeger and Austin Simmons as a #3 guy was actually a player many thought would fight for the #1 spot before Streveler transferred in. Who knows? Maybe after fall camp this is all flipped on its head but I am confident we have depth at QB right now.The offensive line should be one year older and one year better. Nick Jensen is really developing into a good tackle so hopefully he keeps developing on that trajectory. We've loaded up with more running backs. We've suffered way too many injuries at that position over the last few years. Hopefully somebody can step up and be a productive ironman ball carrier. Part of the reason for going through so many is that they had been pressed into service very young and took a pounding because of it. Now the RB position is maturing and are hopefully grown enough to handle the riggers of the conference schedule. I think we are thin at WR, though I don't anticipate us chucking the ball all over the field anyway, so if we're going to be thin somewhere that's the place for it.Defensively I think we'll be fine at the DB and LB positions. D Line worries me as A) Losing Andrew Van Ginkel to transfer really hurts because he was such an impact player, and B) I think we are thin at that position. Frankly, the defensive line could be our Achilles heal this year.As for record, I am thinking 2-1 in non conference with wins over Weber State at home and UND up in Grand Forks with a loss coming @ New Mexico. In conference, 4-4 would be great, but realistically 3-5 is probably a fair assessment. I actually think the team is better than 3-5 in conference but we miss the gimme Mo State win and our home games are UNI, ISUred, WIU, and NDSU. Road games YSU, ISUblue, SIU, and SDSU. Flip those home/road games and I like our chances better to finish above 4-4 in conference. I'm thinking this is going to be a 5-6 or 6-5 kind of season. I would be happy with 6-5 with a first year head coach. If it's 3-8 and we're getting blasted I will be pissed, though I do not expect that to happen."

That's my preference as well.

No they did not. They can't use recruits names until they sign the letter of intent. Fortunately this blame does not go to UND this time.

Only when I run out of toilet paper.

I call bs on that 4.31 after watching that film. Unless of course he was jogging the whole time.

According to Tom Miller Burgum is supposedly going to be OLB in college. That makes sense to me, more so than safety.
