May need to wait about 15 years for 'the hudl generation' to fully restore out economy to new heights first.

Exactly. I wish I had hudl at my disposal. The underlying granola eating sociological theme that you touched on though is the impact on kids who wouldn't have had the monetary means to get their tape out there when they were good enough to play and also get an education and contribute to the real world afterward. I say we file for the hudl creators Nobel Peace Prize consideration for the perhaps unintentional impact on the lives of those who would previously not be granted the opportunity to utilize their athletic ability as a vehicle to obtain an otherwise rare academic opportunity. Dare I say in the field of economics?

Something that should also be pointed out. The creator of hudl deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Exactly. More D1 athletes on the field. More importantly they're doing what it takes off the field.

Hopefully the meat of the conversation will be about what major he'll go into when he comes here

Remember that DE from last year that nobody had heard of and only had D2 interest. Then boom NIU swoops in and all of a sudden he's a 2 star recruit that everyone wants.

We don't know what the coaches big board looks like though. We don't know how many spots at each position they need. Maybe they'll end up not having enough room for a really good player who really wants to come here. To me that's a good thing. It should be like that every year. It means we're going in the right direction.

That dude is a damn good athlete. His int in his highlight tape was unreal. Get him signed.

I'd say Bubba is hitting a home run right now. Not with recruiting but with getting people that had lost hope in Mussman to believe in the program again.

He does explode of the ball.

Anyone think Dranka would make a nice OLB blitzing machine? Maybe a little small for DE.

So by another it was meant as a recruit?

How many has he taken?

I'm in your camp on this one. There are plenty of players and the new staff if very legit.

Has midco picked up this game through root?

Strange. They have been doing better at putting it in the back of the net lately but I still don't think of this team as overly potent. Hopefully things continue to click.

One thing I did notice with Loney is that when he went down one of his skates got caught on top of ones of Ausmus' skates and he wasn't able to get control of himself before he went into the boards. He obviously then proceeded to act like he broke every bone in his body.

What are the players impressions of Bubba and staff thus far?

Anyone know why Pattyn was so pissed after the goal?

I'll drink to that. Gfhockey already did. In bubba we trust.

I'm really hoping this class is a lot like last years class. Big emphasis on toughness and work ethic. Most of all, guys that bleed green and will do anything it takes to win.

There's a lot of guys waiting for a chance

Wouldn't they be 2013s?

This is a very below average UND if we're honest with ourselves. As a FR Brock Nelson was on the 4th line. He would have been first line on this team as a FR guaranteed. That said Michigan beat that team with a less than stellar roster.

This post pretty much sums up all I've ever heard about their class. Work ethic, character, family. That's a winning combo and those young guys have it.
