    Whose the und personality on staff

    Jody Norstedt was but he resigned before layoffs were announced. Taylor Budge was retained, so may be a increased role for her, probably not PXP but shows they are not canning everyone and believe she has a important role with UND athletics. Alex Heinert also appears to have been retained. While he has his CBS Sports assignments as well that is not every weekend. 

     

    Would not be surprised for basketball and volleyball to see Ryan Cunningham come back to doing PxP. He did some previously for those sports as a freelancer for the games that were broadcast on Bally/Fox Sports North.

    So are they gunna use our radio guys for in-house play by play

     

    seems small time to me and d2-d3 budget 

    They mentioned keeping up contractual obligations with UND/USD/SDSU, and I know UND especially hockey has been huge for them so I would see them keeping that as is with a dedicated PXP. I believe they kept a USD and SDSU personality on staff. For other events its better to freelance and not pay fulltime benefits. For lower viewed events as well you might see the radio crew or a school appointed staff. Even the old Fight Sioux Sports Network had dedicated PXP. 

  3. Think that more than likely they will continue to offer the ability to broadcast or stream the coverage but leave it up to the schools to hire and pay for their PXP personnel?

  4. The number of wide open receivers in that red zone series and Tommy doesn't toss to any. Red became open, but had 2 options of the left side of the field that didn't require rolling out and he could've thrown while set.

    I honestly may just flat out not even watch a single play of UND football next week even though I will be home and have nothing going on next weekend. 

    Attendance for next week taking a hit majorly if any body on edge was watching today.

    It all starts up front. Get pressure and force him to throw before they're open. But you do you man. 

    There have been multiple plays where they were open as soon as the play started. Weekly somehow we leave guys uncovered.

    How are their wide receivers that wide open?

    Been the case for UND defenses since Bubba been here. The earlier years we atleast had a strong DL that got to the QB early and often not giving time for these wide open guys to be open long enough.

    Should have challenged the spot 

    Tommy also let up, didn't slide but gave up on trying to fight for the extra 2 yards. If going to take the hit take the extra yards instead of slowing up as he isn't going to juke them.

  9. I am not a coach for a reason, but I almost rather try to go for the 4th and 2, instead of short yardage punt that only nets 15 yards, and then immediately lose those yards on the next play anyway.

    I wonder too how old and bad this turf might be. 

    From wikipedia: On April 26, 2017, Northern Iowa University Athletics announced that it would be adding AstroTurf to the field of the UNI-Dome. The total cost of the new turf will be approximately $900,000 and will be paid for from previously allocated internal revenue from the university. The AstroTurf installation was completed prior to the 2017 season.[7]

  11. One thing that is crazy though is that you could hear a UND chant before that last snap, but this place should be alot louder on every play that NDSU runs in the 4th, would think there would be mroe energy as people get exceited as the game counts down. But also we are up by 32 pts, so everyone is aware what appears to be sealed.
