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.

The SDSU game will have great attendance. If Montana doesn't suck next year that game will be close to a sellout with how entertaining last years game was. The opener always has good numbes and with a new fr qb starting the fans are going to want to see the face of the program for the 4 years and see what all the hype was about. If we win those first three then attendance for Montana St should be huge. Not saying we will win that game but we'll have a better chance than last year and if we do the ball will be officially rolling and we will go to Idaho and whoop Idaho St. But that's the ideal start.... Attendance would be fixed though

Shoulda worked harder than the soph goalie. I hate when people think just because they've been somewhere that they deserve things like playing time on a highschool team for a senior. If the soph was better than the senior didn't work hard enough to be better end of story.

Or fire Bunning fast track?

RJ is a 4th year senior. Mussman sounded pretty excited about Robertson which in coach speak terms means he thinks he's gonna step right in and be a big factor.

The Ralph is not good for basketball. Having the court in one end would be better but not as good as an upgraded Betty. Maybe in 25 years the basketball team will be a different animal and sell out the Ralph. The alerus is god awful for basketball. Worst place I've ever played in. Nothing good about it. Get a scoreboard in the Betty somehow and eventually upgrade the seating and that place could be as formidable to opponents as a packed Huslop once was. They need to win some games first though and get more butts in seats before the seating would need to be addressed.

That's why they pay creative architects to design a score board that has tilted screens to be easily viewed by most everyone and has little screens underneath for players coaches and people in the first few rows to view like the staples center in LA

Luckily ICON architects are some of the best in the biz when it comes to video boards. Call em up and get it done.......... along with the IPF...

Offering things like free food is pathetic and devalues the product on the court. If you send the message to students that the basketball team is so bad that you're willing to give them free stuff just to attend the game then you are only making the perception worse. Offer a good entertaining competitive product on the court and fans will be interested on their own. You can't buy love... attendance.

I'm talking permanent seating that retracts the first 10 or so rows like the rest of the seating is there. You could still have concessions underneath.

Dean Blais?

How about some legit seating at each end? The Betty looks like a joke right now with only legit seating at the side and not the ends. TIme to step it up and invest in basketball and football.
