I had the same problem with files from the internet. I was trying to load pics for the look a like thread and couldn't.

It's not on the internet. It's from my laptop.

This forum isn't allowing me to post any pictures. It doesn't matter if it's from my hard drive or from the internet. It tells me "There was a problem processing the uploaded file. You can only upload a total of 0MB." The file I'm trying to upload is only 211KB.

If we can fix our CBs eyes then we will have some INTs. They're in position to make the plays unlike their predecessors who got burned bad every game. Hopefully they worked on it all week.

I think the only way you can draw any conclusion it to look at other schools' injury situations and then compare it

When/If Fighting Hawks win since that is what is rigged to happen...

Doesn't matter if school is a fit for him or not. You finish the season like a man and then leave so you don't screw your team over. Quitters quit.

Anybody think they should try and move Smith to safety? I'm not sure he has the creativity to play RB, or the ability to protect himself. He's too linear with his runs. Maybe he could be a really good safety. He looked damn good on defense in HS. He's got the size and the speed and the hands.

is it time to change the GFC-RR district boundary line?

I don't remember. Next time I'm in the Fargo Scheels I'll remember to check.

He's the coach at UND. Different situation completely. Can't compare the two.

Pulling the shirt on Santiago... how has that worked? Olivera? Grady? Last season with Greeley? Dranka? We haven't pulled many redshirts at all if you look at it. And most of the guys have made major contributions their fr year. Smith has struggled a bit, as has Greer, but you can't predict success with 100% accuracy. Injuries forced all of these shirts to be pulled. Bubba isn't the type to pull a shirt unless he has to either by injuries or a kid being too good to redshirt.

They've had a Nike deal forever. Also doesn't hurt that Missoula is a football town. Even Fargo doesn't have those types of options on jerseys.

I think these two look like they could contribute nicely at CB. Hamp Cheevers, 5'10”, 160, 4.5, Trenton (Trenton), FL (2 Star - 247 & Scout) Has offer from Liberty Mark Collins Jr., 5'11“, 180, 4.5, Stilwell (Blue Valley West), KS (2 Star - Scout) Has offers from UNI, SIU, SDSU & USD

How are you deeply disappointed? They haven't lost a fifth game yet. They can still make the playoffs.

If I made a list of people to punch in the face he'd probably be on it. -

Nobody hates Ron His Horse Is Thunder for what he added to this situation, just what he took from it. So he had a decent suggestion, big deal. Maybe he's a great guy and the only hangup was his distain for our former nickname. -
To begin the season every fan had a ton of questions. It seemed we had nothing at RB. We all saw the potential of having a dominant defense. We hoped the WR would be improved from the previous year. We felt the coaches had added a ton of speed to the team. We had major questions with the OL. We also were uneasy with the QB situation due to lack of experience and sample size. Then we smoked Wyoming. Everyone saw a bunch of FR step up on defense and offense and it looked like we would terrorize teams. And, all of a sudden, we had some small running back with serious wiggle and top end speed. The QB was also not killing us with bad INTs for once. Then we moved on to Drake and we were rolling them. It wasn't a game and everyone was ready for NDSU. Then the second half happened and the team let their foot off the gas. We all shrugged it off as an anomaly. And why not, we were 2-0 and nobody expected that. We went into the NDSU game with confidence.... and got stomped. Again it was an anomaly. They were just better. Tip of the cap, on to the Big Sky with newfound confidence and expectations. Fast forward two weeks and we're sitting at 4-1. On cloud nine, but with some glaring injuries to key players on defense. There had been some kinks in the armor exposed but not to the extent that would raise too much concern. Then Idaho St happens. We're dominating them at half despite 3 TOs in the first half that kept them in the game. Then they tugged and tugged on the thread of the sweater and it came undone. The team unraveled before our eyes at home in a game that, had we won, would have seemingly guaranteed a playoff birth. We all told ourselves that our team would be pissed and hop right back on the horse. But the defense was still in shambles. Yet, again we find our team in a commanding 4th quarter lead. Time to grind it out...... once again we piss the game away and the defense is exposed further..... against a team that wasn't supposed to be able to pass at all. Now the new expectations aren't fitting with the results. Cognitive dissonance sets in. Are we not the team we thought we were? Apparently not and the next game showed that in a big way. With our crippled defense and backup QB, who as we all know has a totally different skill set than the guy that was winning games in ugly fashion, fly in to Missoula with their sights set on salvaging the once promising season. They don't.... in fact they have their worst game yet against a team that was finally capable of leaving us totally exposed. And here we sit 4-4 and feeling like we're 1-7. Feeling cheated. Feeling the burn of being so close to finally earning the respect we have desired for eight long years and having it ripped from our grasp. Looking back, there is no way anyone would have predicted how this season has gone. We flew way beyond any preseason expectations early on only to fly too close to the sun and come crashing back down to earth in spectacular fashion. So I feel it's time to be a little more realistic with our team and their situation. We had a nice looking set of starters at the beginning of the season. We all knew we were razor thin at some very important positions. Unfortunately that's exactly where the injury bug struck. The players continue to fight though, and they deserve our support. They have busted their asses to bring this program back to prominence and were damn close to doing it way ahead of schedule. Their is a sliver of hope remaining in this season but the odds are not in our favor. I think we all, myself especially, have become too negative to our team at this point and need to look harder for the bright spots instead of focusing only on what's going wrong. Regardless of the outcome we should support our players and be grateful for what they have already accomplished this season. At the very least, they have established that UND football is coming. The rest of the country better be ready, because we're not going anywhere. Now let's enjoy the ride.

For the record I was joking about pulling his shirt. The nice thing about him is that with his size and athleticism he could move to TE or WR and be a good player if qb doesn't work out.

Maybe Brad can lead us down the stretch.
