Did I read somewhere that Will Ratelle was on the UND strength and conditioning staff?

Don't worry. As long as there's still tape out there from the Rudy years no one is ever going to be believe it.

Looks like midco sn + will be streaming the game.

Choate did a solid job at MSU. Wonder if Given can be as successful? It's worth mentioning that bubba has faired pretty well against montana state. Now if we could just compete well against idaho state...

Any idea if the games will be on midco sn +?

so, midco sn plus would be your answer, at least for getting midco out west, correct? Or am I missing something?

Throw to their tight ends?

I wonder if there was any talk in the the P5 about breaking away from the NCAA and forming an association that would make it more reasonable to play this fall? A scaled down testing protocol, looser social distancing and contact tracing guidelines,and an association that would take on more liability risk would have gone a long way toward saving the season.

I think Cole Reyes made a similar statement his freshman year. That didn't turn out too badly.

I see boltmann with more yards than Maag. Maag had a rough finish to the season last year... Hope that isn't going to linger.

Buy or Sell:. We run the ball well. Let's say average 175 yards on the ground this season.

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.

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?

I'm betting on Schuster, but like having three legitimate options. Anyone heard if Zimmerman was going to try to get a 6th year?

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?

Are you talking about NDSUs last game against SIU or their game against Missouri State?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.
