So ground breaking may 1st? Kind of a big deal. Actually a huge deal. Monumentous.

Game changer. I wonder how long it'll take for the other phases to get funded?

Good looking player. Great size and surprising suddenness.

Bisonville seems about to explode thanks to a cryptic tweet by lakes. They must have finally been invited to the B1G.

The only thing better than having a good idea is acting on it and making it happen. I really think we can get this 10 grand together.

im talking with the alumni association and am trying to set something up through them to really get the ball rolling. Once we have something legit with them more people will jump aboard and I expect to get near the 10k. I'm confident that we will get a significant chunk just from us alone and then throw in the people that we know and we should get close.

Just think how pumped the players and coaches will be when they hear that fans randomly funded a set of needed new jeaseys for them.

Fact

I doubt that'd be too costly. Would they do it if the funds were provided though? Some schools just don't do.

As I said before the cost of jerseys for a team is about 10 grand.

I think this will be an epic battle. Luckily both are good kids and things shouldn't get ugly. Just a good healthy competition that makes everyone better.

I didn't think they had the death penalty on Mass.

You must have confused him with Eidesness who was completely average on a good day. Dell was just not flashy in any way which is why I'm sure he looked average to some people. Always in good position with good angles and lots of saves with his chest and leg pads. He didn't flop around like Eidesness and slide uncontrollably from side to side and make the occasional miraculous save. Dell was very good in 2011 and pretty good in 2012. He took a step back in 2012 which is why he didn't play in as many games.

He'll contribute on special teams next year. Probably a year away from being in the rb rotation. That is unless he made huge gains this winter and is around 200 lbs or more.

We need as many votes as possible so when I get a call back from the alumni association I can give them a fair representation of what we're working with. So if you would donate anything please vote in the poll.

I'm sure it was written ' we the big ten football conference (cough cough) ( university of Minnesota) ( cough cough) will discontinue scheduling lower division opponents ( so Minnesota stops embarrassing the entire conference further cough cough)

I'm sure since there wasn't a boycott by the entire FBS that any attempted lawsuit would be shot down since there are still plenty of options

Is this one of those 'because I said so' arguments?

Come on Debbie we don't need to !@#$ on good ideas for no reason now do we?

It's the worst one ever because everyone loses money

Jake Miler over Sutton also. Peters and Rattelle over Otto. Anderson over Herschner. Hardin over whomever it was when he was a freshman. RJ McGill over Dressler. Jameer Jackson over Heimler and Townsend. Are all decent examples.

I'd dispute that Bradley was better. He could throw a better spiral and looked decent in controlled practice settings where the d line couldn't murder him. Then came game day and he was the worst QB I've ever seen at UND and was too frail to survive in the pocket and too slow to move out of it. Goska was much better than him and was an actual leader.

Sparks could probably beat Sutton in a race if he ran backwards. The only similarity is power. Mitch was big and strong but not explosive when he broke tackles he just ran into people instead of blowing them up. I think Sparks has more of the explosive pop when meeting a defender. The end result will be he will break more tackles plus he has better vision and speed. He has good measurables but the best thing he has to offer is his work ethic which is second to none. He will bring a major chip on his shoulder into spring ball and I expect him to flip the depth chart on its head and get major reps at least next season.

Regardless of the attendance the UNC game is going to be a blood bath. 4th and 1 with 12 men on the field for the defense will be fresh in their minds and UNC will get pounded.

He's not a feature back though. It worked against a soft schedule but last year it was really clear that he's a specialist and more of a third down back besides the fact that he struggles to pick up the blitz. That's why Sparks needs to start ASAP and Jer and Jake can compliment him with their open field abilities. Those two between the tackles is bad news unless you can get them to the second level untouched.
