    Ummmm...I think they should expect a lot of passing and that not much will change.  It's not like he is a true freshman and was running the scout team last week, like when Studs was thrown in there a few years ago.  He has been in their system almost two full years now since he redshirted and is the number 2 QB who would have gotten more reps than Z did when he came in during the second half.  Kid sounds like a stud, any sense of comfort of Gubrud being out is a false sense of security.  

    All of us in Eagle-land are anxious to see how he performs for an entire game as well. Two things I've heard and seen.

    1. he was the QB for the scout team in practices last season, players have said he is the best opposing QB they've seen all season.

    2. In our spring game called Red and White game, Eric was QB for the red team and they beat Gubrud and the white team.

    IMO he will make freshman mistakes but has the ability to run this offense.

    This is literally the last game for your team and if we don't win it is figuratively the end of our season for the Eagles.

    Welcome and hope to see you at the Hawk's Nest. I'm in section 215. If your in the visitor's section 217, we'll be close.

    Outside will be 18 degrees in the morning and 28 degrees at game time with 15 mph wind. 8" of wet snow last Saturday, that froze rock hard since.

    Inside will be 70 degrees, no sun. 

    This was supposed to be the game of the season for us, well we fell on hard times, still hope to make a game of it.

    I'm going deer hunting and will get back just in time for the game so will not make it to tailgating, but if your up to that, you'll find plenty of friendly fans to the south of the Hawk's Nest.

    We're looking forward to the trip and game. It has been a disappointing year for Eagle fans as well. Losing 4 key players, 3 to the NFL, has had a greater impact than most of us expected. That combined with mostly new coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball have made for a difficult transition. The new coaching staff have tried to get more balance between run/pass, thus lower scoring games than we are accustomed to.

    On top of all that our QB and a top linebacker are sitting this one out for disciplinary reasons. Beings it is your last game your players should be motivated to go out on a win. Perfect storm for the Hawks. (do you like that name?)

    To the point, I am concerned about this one.

    On another topic, does timing allow going to the hockey game and the football game? Are tickets available for both?

    Thanks

     

  3. Eagle fan here coming to your place this weekend. I am not accustomed to indoor football so looking for some guidance. How warm is it inside your place? Are coats necessary?jacket? short sleeves?

     

  4. I can't believe I'm going to type this, but there is nothing I'd like to see more than you guys beat EWU.  I want them on NDSU's side of the bracket playing in Fargo this year

    That was my fear, playing in Fargo, but Frisco is almost a home field advantage for them so if we have to beat them somewhere it may as well be in Fargo. The extra time off between the third playoff game and the championship game would be nice for Vernon Adams to get back into game shape. Kind of getting ahead of myself here because we have a lot of work to do. I was impressed with your campus and facilities when I was there last year. WOW Grand Forks is really growing. Hopefully I will see some green in our tailgate area so I can offer them a beer and bite to eat.

  5. I'm sure this has been hased over and over here so sorry to bring up an old subject. Why is it the Florida State Seminoles are allowed to use their nickname while the Sioux are ordered to change theirs?

    Hope to see you in Spkane

  6. Welcome to the board. Refer to us as the Sioux all you want. We would all prefer it that way.

    Even if the Eags are overrated, I don't expect your favorite squad will get much of fight on Saturday.

    Visitors section is 217.

    Thanks for the update My question was which side is home. I would like tosit on the same side as the Eagles.

    Thanks

  7. Hello Sioux fans, oops, can't use that name. :glare: North Dakota fans!!

    My question is about tickets. Going to purchase a couple for this game but I do not know what side is the home team on?

    We are avid Eastern fans coming to Grand Forks.

    I am concerned that we may be over rated. This could be a trap game that we get sucked into an easy win that turns into a tough loss.

    Go Eagles!!

  8. Sell, I think if he struggles early Muss will give Bartles a look.

    Buy or Sell: UND starts conference play 3-0 (wins over Valpo, Montana and South Dakota State).

    Buy or sell:

    Valparaiso and South Dakota State are not in your conference

  9. Back to my origianl question, now I'll be more specific.

    How many points will you average per game?

    How many points will your D give up per game?

    Home wins/losses?

    Away wind/losses?

    More pivitol game?

    How many does your stadium seat?

    Do you typically sell out?

  10. What kind of splash do you plan to make in the conference this year? I am a native of Aberdeen so have been watching the Dakota schools for a long time.

    How does your team look this year? I know, I know, every team thinks they are going to make a playoff run and take home the big trophy, but seriously, how is your team. Looking forward to seeing you guys on our red turf!
