Brooks is an intriguing candidate because the possible upside is tremendous. There is also that bust factor that scares people. We'll see if Faison is a risk taker i guess.

How good was Bill Parcells at football? Bear Bryant? Nick Saban never even played in the NFL and played at Kent St, not exactly a starter in multiple Rose Bowls. Remember Jim Tressel as a player? Yea, me neither. If you can coach you can coach, if you can play you can play.

Kristo grew out of a lot of bad habits. He ended up pretty fine.

The list obviously is meaningless at this point. Some of these applicants seem like they lost a bet and had to apply.

Sounds kinda like Bragleman but could be somebody else.

If any players want to leave the program the door should be wide open. I'll take a less talented player who is 100% bought in than a more talented player who is selfish. Let them go, it's their loss.

Will Lewis and Goard worked out pretty well as did an OL a few years back

Usually you try and recruit most positions so it's not like we're building a team from scratch here

Read that wrong...

I still can't help but think how much better the Betty would be with retractable bleachers going up to the roof on both ends. Once again a lack of vision....

I always like NDSUs rbs too. They get the job done every game.

Idk. We were expecting Comes and Demler to hang around and we all know how that worked out. NDSU learned their lesson with QBs. We need to as well.

I really think we need to find 3 juco DBs. 2 CBs for obvious reasons and 1 safety due to the Kuksa injury. We should also look to get a juco DT and DE. Not the juco types we've had recently that come in and make zero impact we need guys that can play now. We need to find more athletes in the secondary this year. They didn't find enough last year and I don't trust many of our secondary players. I wonder what Opara is doing these days? Roller as well? We need more hogs, bigger and meaner, we need some maulers up front. LB has some good players but we need to get some edge rushers that can terrorize opponents. A big RB is a must. Two QBs for sure. A playmaker at TE? Maybe we have one already and don't know it?

So.... Top recruiting needs this year?

One thing we can guarantee is that if NDSU only beat them like Montana did everyone on your end would say that NDSU was playing flat and didn't really care. Should the same be assumed about Montana? I don't think so since USD made plays in that game but it's a typical way for people to downgrade the impressiveness of a game (SDSU...)

USD is pretty good. They showed that against some solid teams. They couldn't get over the mental hurdle against NDSU and it snowballed on them. The question is how much better are they than what they showed against NDSU and were the games against UNI and YSU flukes?

For the first time in a long time I'm legitimately excited for a UND basketball team. I've been hopeful the last couple years but this year the team looks like a legit D1 team for the first time. I can't wait to see how they do out west and against Butler and SDSU.

So NDSU thought they were pretty damn good coming into this game. It's the typical NDSU schtick. What happened? This...

BTW this is our 3rd or 4th sport and their 2nd. Our ship has many flags, one of them is a state flag.

Start you tractors chant please

My dad told me a story a while back about this very thing that happened near Hatton back in the day. A young cocky farmer just sold some land and had a TON of cash on him. He bursts in the door of the bar and loudly boasts that he'll guarantee he's got more money on him than anyone in the bar. The guy kept on boasting about until an older farmer stepped up and told him to put his money where his mouth is. Young buck pulls out his cash and old timer proceeds to pull out thousand after thousand until young buck was firmly put in his place. Old timer didn't need to say much and went back to his table while young buck learned a valuable lesson.

I want to see a scrum or some intensity at least. This looks like just another game.

This lead doesn't feel very safe right now.

Braun is ballin tonight

In years past yea. Maybe if Pattyn is on the ice. We're not the most intimidating team this year.
