I have no issue with the way the Summit has it set up. The top 2 seeds should have some sort of reward if you are not going to include all the teams.
My bad. Didn't realize the 2 seed also got a day off. Agree then that it is set up the way it should be.

Seems strange to me that the tournament would be set up with such a big disadvantage for the 2, 3, 6, and 7 seeds. Not getting a rest would definitely impact the result. Do most league tournaments do that?

Will we still be looking for a FBS dropdown or JuCo, or will our starting QB in 2020 be from our current roster/commits?
I'm betting on Schuster, but like having three legitimate options. Anyone heard if Zimmerman was going to try to get a 6th year?

The team doesn't make the playoffs if they don't burn Skokna's shirt.
Skokna had minimal to no impact in the UNC game. Take that game away and we get the post season with his redshirt intact

Any ideas on a good place in Fargo to watch the game?

By many magnitudes..... I mean they just got held to half their season average scoring by a non-playoff team...
Are you talking about NDSUs last game against SIU or their game against Missouri State?

Not having a conference ‘mate’ in the room may still leave UND as one of the first 4 out. Unless Chaves has some pull with either the Big Sky of MVFC rep, or hopefully both, I don’t expect that there will be much lobbying to include the Hawks.
In 2015 we didn't get any help from our conference. If UND was in the BSC this year we would be the 5th BSC team in, and that might actually be a tougher sell than letting us in as an independent.

Questioning play calling, game management, progress, recruiting etc I understand. We aren’t winning enough and program doesn’t seem to be improving fast enough for many. If you question commitment to the program you lose credibility with me. That certainly isn’t an issue with this staff. These guys are working their tails off. They care about each other, our players, the program and the University. There is no lack of effort or energy on the part of this staff.
Fair enough. I'll revise my comment to say better judgement about what's best for the program. Burning Skokna's redshirt to play in a couple of playoff games is one thing, but burning it to play against UNC or SUU is inexcusable, even if the kid was pushing for it. Some will say you can't predict the future, one play and his career could be over, etc, but that works both ways. It's a much safer bet that if we don't make the playoffs this year, 3 years from now we'll all wish he had redshirted. I'm tired of trading kid's best year for their worst year.

The player makes the decision. The player makes the decision. Everyone repeat after me. The player makes the decision.
If that's true in Skokna's case, we need to find a coaching staff with better judgement, leadership, and commitment toward what's best for the program. End of story.

I have never understood "saving red-shirts". You put the 11 best players you have healthy on the field for every game, unless the chance for post season is over. Nothing else makes any sense.
So you would play Skokna next weekend, and if we lost, you would be comfortable with the fact that that single game cost him an entire year of eligibility?

Who says the plan is to redshirt him? Perhaps the only reason he didn’t play from day 1 is he was still coming back from his HS knee injury?
At this point in the season, why wouldn't you redshirt him? Let's say he plays next week and we don't make the playoffs. Can anyone tell me playing him was a reasonable decision made with forethought?

Schuster's played in now 2 of 4 allowable games.
Skokna has played in 4. Gee was unavailable yesterday. That probably answers that; and, I'll predict Skokna won't dress the rest of the year.
My question on RBs is: Has anyone seen Austin Gordon?
Agree that Skokna was an option because Gee was out, but with McKinney back, Gordon available, and a suposed weak team on the schedule, it was pure coaching incompetence to play Skokna early in the game. The Schuster situation was no better. Others have said it - you wouldn't see this at other schools.

So what if we win that playoff game? Do just sit everyone?
So you're saying that because he would only be available for 1 playoff game at most, it made sense to play him yesterday in what was expected to be an easy win, instead of saving him for the playoff game. Brilliant.

For not redshirting a player???
For wasting an entire year of eligibility by putting a player in a game at the end of the season where we didn't need him to play. I'm tired of trading player's best year for their worst year, and in Skokna's case, this is absolutely senseless. Had he sat today, we could have had him for a playoff game without risking his redshirt. Really poor call to play him today.

To nitpick, NDSUs whole team eats plenty of cafeteria food. They do, however, have a nutritionist teaching their players what to eat and how to make it at home and they also provide them with plans for what their diet should look like to get the performance gains they need. We need that. Would it be so hard to have a professor who teaches nutrition to provide that for a little salary boost?
If you want UND players to look like NDSU players, get a team pharmacist, not a team nutritionist.

I like having the students sit behind the opposing team. Plus, they generate about 80%of the noise on third down. Take away some of their upper level seating. But leave it at that as far as I am concerned. There is no shortage of good seats at the alerus.

Happy to hear that. Considering Zim hasn't played a lot of games for us, he seems to be doing well. He might even take a pretty big step forward after last week.
If he eventually gets replace by kett, then use him to teach Blubaugh how to tackle.
-
SU is getting about 10 yards per carry every time they get to the edge. Other than that, the d line is looking better than I would have predicted.
I like Zim, hope to see more of him this year. Hope to not see Kostich after today...

Is Kyle Sloter the UNC QB that UND destroyed the last two times we played against him?

For 2020. We only have 10 games listed. I assume we have an opener at home that is not listed ?
We should be fine with just 10 games. In the MVFC 6 wins can get you into the playoffs, even if you aren't UNI. ;-)

New Seating Arrangment at Alerus Center
in Football
Posted
Not a fan of this move. If the same type of fans that sit on the Hawks sideline end up behind the visiting team, the Al is going to be a pretty friendly place for the road team.
