Ill make no predictions on this season or have a feel for things in general until I see how this next game goes. That said, playoffs or bust.

It's blowing my mind that this isn't in purple.

Lower ceiling and metal walls make a huge difference. The noise gets bounced down onto the field.

You actually don't?

They're a run first and second team. Make no mistake about it. They just wanted to polish up the passing game to keep teams off balance.

I've been looking for highlights where did you find them?

Anyone know why this is still a thread?

Can't understate how big of an advantage that is. Hopefully he's improved his motion and lands in our laps.

Last time we played SDSU and got our asses kicked on a miserable day a player told me they had the meanest most physical offensive line they've ever played against. I expect them to open holes from time to time no matter how good the d plays. It's just up to the LBs and safeties to make the plays when that happens.

Never said it mattered. Just answered a question about size. 3-4 defenses have bigger players. Size doesn't matter nearly as much as being good at football, agility, flexibility, speed, body composition, toughness, and awareness. It does help though.

Our DBs are small for the most part. LBs are good sized/big. DL has some big boys. OL is big but pretty lean. RBs are small. QBs are big. WRs are small and big. Our kickers are big too, Zeb is built like an LB. it might be the unis and a few really small guys here and there. As a team we're actually bigger than NDSU.

He could be the real deal. Plus we have an in with his dad bring a former player I believe.

I recorded the game and watched it again. The defense hardly ever blitzed and played pretty conservative overall. I assume Kotelnicki being the smart dude he is was not willing to show his best cards for sdsu to have on film when he knew full well they didn't need it to win.

And the year before their defense sucked. Alot can improve in a year if a couple guys step up.

Timing. Had we moved up at the same time they wouldn't have had the pick of the litter with recruits along with NDSU. We were behind the 8 ball up until this last class with recruiting against them and ndsu. Now that we are starting to look more like a D1 program the cream of the crop recruits from common areas shared by the dakota schools will be dispersed between the 4 schools instead of those two taking them all. Basically we screwed the pooch on timing and its set us back at least 5 years and we're just now getting out of that.

He's 240 for a reason. He lifts extra. That's why he broke the wr squat record as a rs fr.

I'm not worried. He's not hurt. He'll be one of the best wrs in the league this year. Just wait a little longer and watch him play.

I've never been so excited for UND to play a terrible team. I'm about ready to run through a brick wall for this season to start already.

Balance is the key to keeping a good defense off balance. We need to be able to run and pass against them to keep them honest. They're too good to be one dimensional against. But I do agree that our big advantage over them will be our WR, the likes of which they don't see in their run oriented conference.

What was Wayne Nelson's prediction?

Their RB is 5'6" 180. I wonder what our DL will do to him when they get their hands on him.

Drake had a good team by their standards that year and our offense was awful that year. Valpo is the lowest of the low in that league and our offense will have favorable matchups all over the field. If we want 50 by half we'llhave 50 by half. Their offense doesn't have the athletes to trouble our d.

Offenseive MVPs Shaugabay and Golladay Leading rusher Shaugabay Leading passer Bartels Leading receiver Golladay Breakout star? Shaugabay Defensive MVPs Edwards and Rattelle Leading tackler Rattelle Leading Sacker Cummings Breakout star? Butler

You mean we don't get them every year? Playing Manitoba should give us a pipeline to the best bed of hockey talent in the world shouldn't it? How come we haven't landed one since Toews? All I see on the roster are Canadian leftovers.

Answer the question. We're talking cream of the crop here.
