No because we offer a bunch of kids. If anything we lose out on lower end kids and pick up more higher end kids.

I didn't know we were swinging for the fences on every offer. Last years class worked out quite nicely even though we swung real big on some prospects.

Gotta swing for the fences a time or two. Can't hit a home run if you don't. I have a ton of faith in our coaches and their recruiting philosophy.

Speedway for shity beer night. 1$ cans of grain belt is awesome. Also nice small bar with great service and an awesome happy hour. The Loft is ok when it's packed but it's so big that if there aren't enough people it feels empty. Decent specials though.

Ok I get it. It's not ok to have mediocre expectations for our teams performances and coaches decisions but it is for our facilities. Makes sense. It's not like our coaches are paid to make their decisions that we criticize every year.

And is the teams second best return specialist after Williams.

Anyone else think the goalie looked alot like Tate Maris with his sweet pads?

Once again preseason picks are about as worthless as the answer from miss Utah in the miss America pageant.

As you complain about the legal right of others to complain.

3 rbs? Now that is a joke.

Why aren't there three spots on the first team? Aren't there usually three spots?

To crack the top 6 he would have to have a monster off season. His brother needs to get bigger faster stronger and meaner this summer too. I'm not sure I'd want either in my top two lines the way Mark played last year after Christmas. He needs to step up.

He's defiantly deserving. I'd rather have him on the first team after the season when it actually means something.

Somebody needs to step up and be the man. Talent is once again not an issue. Somebody needs to be a Porter type leader. I know his teams didn't win a championship but they were always right there.

Pretty prolific 5th round for the GF/EGF area

Poolman to the Jets. #127 overall. Good for him. Another local kid drafter. I also wonder how far Johnson will fall.

Keep building. The defense is what needs to be built up this year. Reestablish the run game along with the defense and the stage will be set for a surprise playoff birth. We were in a lot of game and even the ewu and msu games before we let them get away from us. We can hang with anyone in the big sky.

Would it be the last year for those guys?

And did I mention they have grain belt on tap? JL Beers doesn't even have grain belt on tap.

Are you suggesting that a new version of the same steel wool AstroTurf surface would have been acceptable? Notice how the Fargo dome had enough tact to put a big ugly bison logo at the 50? The alerus just doesn't get it on some things.

I wonder what the deal is with the sidelines. I know that the box or whatever it's called that holds the turf is only so wide but having uncovered concrete is an eyesore and potentially dangerous to players with cleats. Hardin almost whiped out after a td last year on that crap.

Not all of the lights were on so it would make the grass look unsaturated. I love the endzone. A+ on that. I also like that they learned their lesson and didn't paint green on a green field in the bigsky and alerus logos like last year. A+ on that. For the love of God alerus center, people know what the building is, there is no need for those gaudy oversized ostentatious logos at the 50 yard line. UND is the main tenant and the only reason you got the damn turf let alone the building in the first place. The only good part about that logo is that it's painted on and can be moved and rescaled if they ever pull their heads out of their asses and put a nice huge ND at the 50. F+ on that.

He's going to be an outstanding center. His athleticism will give the coaches a lot of flexibility in the run game

Mix Alchemy and Dead Guy

Hopefully they get some real brisket this time. Good thing Speedway still kicks ass and has grain belt on tap. Also !@#!$ beer night is unbeatable.
