Problem with helmets is they cost more than a uniform. I'm not sure the price the football team would pay per helmet but the normal price for a new Riddle helmet is around 260 per helmet. Multiply that by at least 85 and its a good 22+ grand vs 10 for a set of jerseys.

This is a very interesting topic and I think if we take an initiative we can easily make it happen. For it to work we would need to get the ball rolling soon since it takes a while for Nike to manufacture the uniforms and get them to UND in time for the season. I think this would be a great way to show the players how much we support them and would give the coaches something to show new recruits and current players how the fans have literally bought in to the program. If I were a current player and the fans collected money for my team to be able to wear new home uniforms it would give me a great sense of extra pride every time I pulled that green jersey over my shoulders before a game. Let's try and make this happen, it's a great opportunity.

If we have 50 people on here to give 20 bucks that equals 1000 bucks. If those 50 people find 10 people each to give 20 bucks the total is now 10000 bucks. And if those people that the 50 found can ask one person each to give 20 bucks then you have yourself 20000 bucks and new home green pant and jerseys. Or you can skip step 3 and just get green jerseys. In theory this doesn't sound hard and people would be able to send checks in the mail to a po box in grand forks.

The only way it would work is if people on here ask people they know to donate and then those people asked people they know and then maybe there'd be enough money to make an impact.

About 20000 give or take

What's really throwing me off is that he's claiming a 'full ride' ..... This feels more awkward the longer it's going without anything official... Hope it works out somehow. Maybe he can be a Crockett type for us?

Mussman said they lost 4 players from last year. That could mean him plus jablonski plus Kennedy plus Oliver.

To me his tweet to kotelnicki to call him was a bit of a red flag....

Am I the only one who has a strange feeling about this? Very strange indeed. I'd love to have him if he can handle school though that's for sure.

I thought you had big rig money comin in? Only 20?

Outdoor game at memorial anyone? Great sight lines. Build a temp away sideline seating and get the ice right up next to the home stands. Boom

Lets get 20 bucks from 1000 people and make a big check

I personally think all green would look like crap. Maybe it won't but I prefer green and black combo

I'm not so sure about that. The old logo was an afterthought on the football unis and I don't expect that to change. It's all about the interlocking nd for the football team.

If it gives the players a competitive advantage vs the older green ones I'm for it. Once they get new greens I'm sure the blacks will be turned into more of an alternate than they were last year and most likely next year. It takes two years because they're expensive as hell. If you don't have a deal with Nike then new uniforms cost quite a bit.

Sooo how does everyone feel about this class? There was a couple of guys I wish we had landed or had academically cleared like Skibinsky Opara Redmond Favors and Thurmond. Overall I love the size that was brought in. I like the idea of moving a smalled DE to LB more than a slow S to LB. This should make us more stout on the edges in the future. I bet one DL and one OL as well as a safety get shirts pulled next fall. Some nice project guys in this class as well like Williams and Riddle. Overall it seems that all of the signees are legit D1 Big Sky caliber players that have the good athletically to take us where we need to go. 2-3 years from now is when we'll obviously know how this class pans out, but right now they look well balanced and talented. Also of note, there seem to be alot of very smart kids in this class with some serious GPAs.

damn it.......... he would have been a perfect LB for the Big Sky......

forgot about him, also perhaps PWO like Bjurk from Red River?

Adams Bell Miller and Stockwell. That is some serious and much needed beef up front. 4 big time recruits right there.

http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/189938451.html interesting read. Also check out the pic on the side and look at the size of Stockwell.... HUGE frame.

Maybe we can pull a robbery

It would be nice if we did. I have no inside info as far as recruiting goes.

We get Redmond and a cb as well as another dl that we haven't heard of yet. Three very nice surprises.

As is Wisconsin which is why we've been focused there as well.

I hope the POS doesn't succeed since I hate the rangers then is traded to a team like the Hawks or Flames and succeeds there.
