Good news - I just e-mailed Matt Schill asking if there would be a football styled "Through These Doors" and he responded saying "The short answer is yes. We're still in planning stages, but there will likely be two new video series on the football team next fall in addition to the usual highlights, press conference, features, etc."
This makes me really happy!
hopefully it's alot like what Portland St had for their football team. it made a team with zero fan following look legit, just imagine what it would look like for us

The Bleacher Report has given it's 2012 Season Preview. UND is ranked #6
http://bleacherrepor...rankings/page/2
Slap in the face. We deserve to be nationally ranked going into the season and better than 6th in the big sky.

Exactly.
Taking classes like yoga and ping pong is not very stressful. A one year guy is not going to enroll in chemistry or anything hard if he knows he wont be getting a degree.

That kid looks faaast

Gotta agree but at the same time there simply was not a lot of running in the spring game. You could see the coaches wanted to evaluate the QB position and so just about every play was a pass it seemed.
I know Bradley had over 200 yards and 2 tds but I was still impressed with what Hansen was able to do on only 6 passes considering his protection was terrible for the most part. With all day to throw Bradley was still only 50% which isn't very good for a scrimmage, although he did have some dimes.
-
I was very happy to see our QB's and WR's play very well. Should be an exciting year offensively. One thing that definitely does need improvement is our secondary. Many receivers were wide open. If we can get the secondary issues fixed by next year, we should have a very good an entertaining team next fall!
remember with the db's dwayne brown is out from shoulder surgery and he was far and away the best freshman db which would have made a huge difference. The depth for one team in the real season should be fine, just not enough dbs with experience to field 2 teams for the spring game. O, and the recievers are outstanding.

I was excited going into the spring game yesterday and left ecstatic.
Braden Hanson had zero time for most of the game thanks to patchy OL but was still 5 of 6 with very nice catchable throws. Bradley has improved a bunch and has gotten stronger although you'd like to see higher completion percentage than 12 of 24 in a spring game. Hendrickson made some serious plays, he had some lazers and some nice deeper throws and showed his speed.
The receivers made our poor DBs look terrible. Townsend looks like his ankle is coming around which is great since last year you could tell he wasn't 100% explosive on his cuts and running ability. Hardin was Hardin. McGill looked quicker. Jackson didn't get much oportunity but did have that nice catch where he made 3 people miss and then ran over a safety for extra yards. At 240 what DB will want to cover and/or tackle him?
I would have liked to have seen more PJ Sparks, 1 carry was a bit of a slap to the face.
Im very pumped to see the D next year. With two big time LBs not playing the D still looked good for the most part. Holes in the secandary were more apparent with the units split between teams.
Next year I'm expecting a playoff run and contention for a Big Sky crown. And I'd love to meet up with NDSU in the playoffs I refresh their memories a bit of what we're all about.
-
Wow after reading the 2-part article about Joe Mollberg and his decision making process, I feel very very lucky that we were able to get him!
With that said, we need to get on those facilities to be above NDSU in more than just character and atmosphere.
-
Well people are not going to be happy with this....
FAIL. FACEPALM. EPIC FAIL. With all of the good new progressive things going on for the football team they go ahead and do this to us? This was their oportunity to make yet another statement about how this program is comitted to being a top teir program. The only way they could make this worse would be to either put a bison logo at the 50 or make it brown. A 4 million dollar investment and they let a blind man design it? I assume that is the only excuse. Maybe there is a interlocking ND logo in braille at the 50. This is a CMON MAN moment if there ever has been one. What a failure, new locker room, new all blacks, and a new 4 million dollar rug. They could've done better to say the least.

I wish we could count on that for a regular season game..........................
percentage of a sellout would be a possibility though. 8731/25203= 34.6% of a sellout .346X12283 = 4249. That is doable on a nice day with how the hype machine has been rolling this spring for the football program. 8731 is an impossibility they would need to open up both sides for that to even be possible. How bout we shoot for more people than NDSU for starters.

just sailing through the horse latitudes right now. things will pick up when seth jones makes his choice
-
I don't really care who wins, I just hope there are no injuries as we need these people in less than 5 months.
Thank you Buzz Killington

Who is everyones pick for the winning team and who is expected to make an impact?

I'm a fan of the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. I do not want UND athletics to exist under a different nickname. If the two choices are a Sioux team under sanctions or no team at all, I'll take the Sioux team under sanctions as my "lesser of two evils" choice. Anybody who wants the nickname gone (for whatever reason) has no business putting a Sioux logo in their avatar.
Those aren't the two choices. They are: keep a nickname lose teams (football at least) and water down hockey, or retire the name and allow the athletic department prosper. There are no other options.
-
Here's a question. If there is no NCAA and we're in something new and different would other schools still have a problem with Fighting Sioux? It kinda feels like it to be honest.
-
If you pick to retire the name UND will be off of sanctions, will be able to host football playoff games and scheduling will become easier. If you vote to keep the name. No matter how good our football team does we will NEVER see them host a playoff game, scheduling will be tougher (South Dakota State has threatened to cancel the 2013 game), and we will continue to lose recruits to teams that can host a playoff game like NDSU, SDSU, and USD. For the good of the school and the athletic department...retire the name. For those who ONLY believe in a nickname instead of the athlete...vote for the name. Just remember Grand Forks Central has had their name retired against their will (GF School Board) and its been Redskin-less since 1991. GFC has won titles in hockey, football, and basketball since. UND can survive without the Fighting Sioux name and logo.
i graduated a Knight and didn't think twice about wanting to have been a redskin. Fighting Sioux may be a better nickname than redskins. Redskins may be the dumbest nickname of all time by the way. The only red skin I've ever seen is sun burned white people in the beginning of summer. Anyway, although Fighting Sioux may be a more legit nickname compaired to redskins it still needs to go for the sake of the school itself. As a former athlete at UND I graduated a Fighting Sioux and grew up one but I have no delusions about how badly we can't afford to keep the nickname and logo. It's just time to move on, regardless of if some of us want it or understand why.

I love the idea of a having a AAA Midget team in town and I can't wait to see them play. I think high school hockey in North Dakota has really fallen off and this season's North Dakota High School Hockey tourney was some of the worst High School hockey I have seen in a long time. I don't know if it's because the ND teams are losing the best talent in the state to the Jr Ranks or not?
Central lost a bunch of talent to juniors. Red River didn't lose anything that I can remember. I'm not sure about other schools other than DL with Thompson and Minot with that one kid.
And every sport has been down in the state the past couple years. Especially hockey and football in Grand Forks.

Not gonna lie. It's alot easier to lead youngsters than vets. They often listen better because they havent been there before and look up to the older guys.

Jameer Jackson absolutly obliterated some DB's trying to bring him down. Broke a good 6 tackles on two consecutive plays for first downs. He has a good 60 lbs on those CB's. They kept going lower and lower on him the more he ran them over. Nobody wants to hit him.
Braden Hansen looked very sharp. Bradley was ok. The recievers and QBs didn't quite click for the most part.
The running backs had nowhere to go due to the defense dominating the young linemen.
The defense was flying around and made it a very long day for the offense, holding them to only one touchdown.
The kickers were good today. No Miller kicking again. Naastad was 3-4 and Gutierez was 2-3 on kicks.

Porter anyone?

Are there any kids from the GF schools that could be prospects? Any underclassmen even?
-
Hansen has it all but wrapped up. Hendrickson is making a good push for the number two spot, although I don't know if the coaches would be willing to demote Bradley to number three. Hansen will separate himself from the pack in the spring game.

Don't forget that second semester the McMillan boys would be a great option together on a line with their history.

I can guarantee they'll have at least one loss on their schedule. Revenge is a dish best served cold on some new turf.
