Murderers row huh

Hopefully. One problem is the acoustics echo; great for crowd noise, not so much for music.

One thing with Adidas that you can guarantee is that the unis will fit like a glove. As for plain unis, a nice clean look is never a bad thing.

I can't wait to see what Bubba and co put together with a full year to recruit. They did pretty outstanding given the circumstances with their first class.

This is how I feel. To play devils advocate though; perhaps a watered down schedule aided inaugural playoff appearance would provide the necessary momentum to get the players we need to beat the big boys.

I think the NDSU mold is the way to go. People often forget that they had significant contributions from JUCOs when they got good and used some to fill holes as they recruited HS kids to those holes. They understood that even if they wanted to build their team out of all non juco non transfers that they couldn't do that from the start by forcing kids who aren't ready into the starting lineup like we did with players like Mackey and many others. They had a lot of good CB transfers that sured up their d. From there they built depth for the future behind the transfers. It's obviously worked. Bottom line, fill a hole with the best option regardless of where they come from, just don't rely on transfers every year.

I'm thinking, based on not a whole lot, this could maybe happen. Offense: LT: Devin Barton - AJ Stockwell LG: Brandon Anderson - Sean Meehan C: Colton Boas - Jace Hellman RG: Brandon Miller - Dan Bell RT: Brendan Slaight - AJ Stockwell TE: Zach Adler - Tucker Norby RB: Cedric Simmons - Patrick Sharp FB: Dustin Iverson - Dwayne Pecosky WR: RJ McGill - Aeron Carr - Ramon Bridges WR: Tyrhe Ivery -Miguel Cerriteno - Casey Young QB: Joe Mollberg/Ryan Bartles (toss up) K: Reid Taubenheim Defense: DE: Spencer Cummings - Alec Carrothers NG: Shea Walker - Marcus Cheatom DE: Jordan Hinojosa - Kyle Woodsmall OLB: Dayo Idowu - Adam Shaugabay ILB: Dylan Bakker - Kyle Norberg ILB: Will Ratelle - Ben Peters OLB: Javen Butler - Brian Labatt CB: Alex Tillman - Charles Flowers S: Baylee Carr - Chris Hannible S: Cole Reyes - Devin Coyle CB: Dominique Blackmon - Chris Brown P: Connor Bolduc - Mitch Meindel (I wasn't impressed with Meindels kicks, very loose and inconsistent.)

How did our recruits do in the Shrine game? Anyone go to the game?

Well that's nicer than the Ralph was. We'll see after the renovations are done.

I see 5 or 6 wins on the schedule. Obviously no game is a lock but I still see 5-6 solid chances at a win. The beauty of football is that we could win a lot more if things go our way or we could tank like last year.

I'm sure they'd make it work. Is Adidas manufactured in China like Nike?

I've found Adidas shoes to be the most durable, they also make the lightest shoe fwiw. Their techfit compression gear is also second to none.

SFI mentioned they've heard rumors of an all sports Adidas deal. This would be huge. It's another step in the direction of legitimacy. Also Adidias makes the best shoes and unis in the business. This is also huge for the football budget. Now the money they would spend on a new green jersey can be spent on other things like strength training equipment and other behind the scenes things that make a difference. All around this is long overdue.

That's correct. I got a greasy paw on that bad boy.

If he didn't pass out waddling onto the field.

I'm not sure why people care so much about Taylor moving up in his profession. It's obviously a good choice on his part and it opens up the possibility of a football game. I get that alot of people are really butthurt about Taylor not scheduling us in football and all but I think it's time to move on.

This is one of the great things about smart phones. Everyone has one and can receive a message about an amber alert.

How has Frattin not fit for a team so far? I thought for sure his game would match the way LA plays perfectly.

I couldn't care less which one starts. As I said before, there are so many other things that need to be straitened out before those guys would have a chance to blossom. Run d and o will go a long way in development of a young qb. Without protection anyone will end up like Derrick Carr.

I'm not worried about QB until the oline is fixed. No qb can function without a quality line.

Our football attendance sucks. We have nothing to say on the matter. Maybe in two years we can measure attendance dicks legitimately.... I can only hope.

Doesn't matter. Support is support. We had better attendance before we were D1 anyway.

We can't throw stones on this topic. What was the attendance for the first ever playoff game in the Alerus?

Judging by his film he could be the type of kid we've been missing at TE. I feel like after adding some muscle he's gonna be a beast. It also doesn't hurt that the new offense will actually use TEs with regularity.

I saw that Brock Shaide was at the one day camp. I assume he's Monty's son. If he's half as mean and tough as his dad he'd be a welcome addition to the program. For those that don't know, his dad was a big reason for the early 90's culture change at UND, he was one bad ass muther !@#!$.
