At least this year when we tell ourselves UND is trying not to show other teams any of the new wrinkles they are putting in the offense, we can believe it.

Gordon could easily end up as our feature RB this fall. I like the move.

Does the NCAA have an obligation to look into the situation at NDSU a little closer? And not just from the stand point of it's the right course of action, but from the stand point of this would be a required action on their part when there is credible evidence a school may be promoting cheating. I would assume their would be something like that actually written in the by-laws.

Regarding our new d-line coach... "Holinka spent three seasons (2015-17) at Winona State as Special Teams Coordinator and linebackers coach. He helped lead the Warriors to a 10-2 record in 2017 and an NCAA playoff berth with WSU ranked first in the NSIC in punt returns, kick returns and kick coverage. In 2016 Winona State ranked second nationally in punt return and sixth in blocked kicks. " Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

My guess would be Adderall. Far from caffeine, which is what every bison fan is trying to get us to believe. Until we here more, these are all just guesses though. Nobody really believes it was caffeine do they? Come on people.

Not sure what all the angst is about. The QB from Michigan looks good. Some things could use a little cleaning up, but he was very successful at a high level. Anyone who can go 13 for 13 in a big game and has his speed and elusiveness has a chance to be successful in FCS. My bet is he plays a lot of meaningful downs for us and more than holds his own.

That article doesn't make a case for a fair an honest media. The story was only written after it was blatently obvious that the Fargo media was in bed with NDSU football by not reporting anything earlier. That and it gave the Fargo media an opportunity to tell everyone nobody really did anything wrong... The kid took the equivalent of a 5 hour energy drink. Sure....

Last year's duo of Odom and Siegel was pretty good... maybe not quite at the level of this year's. Holm was also a great get. With over a week to go, I wonder if we are going to see any surprises?

I wouldn't give up on Graetz yet. Lots of things still in our favor. Lots of good health field degrees at UND like PT, OT, and advanced practice nursing degrees. Good potential for early playing time. For the first time in the D1 era I like our coaching staff better than NDSUs. NDSU may have something explaining to do to the NCAA if anything more comes out about the kid who tested positive for PEDs that were supposedly supplied by a coach. Maybe the kid sees thru why his PWO offer was bumped up to a full ride, given NDSU has a guy who will likely be starting the next 4 years. Whatever happens, good luck to the kid, and UND will end up Ok. We are in good hands with Danny running the show.

If he has any interest in academics at all, it's hard not to be impressed with UND. He may also have a shot at more playing time at UND.

Has John ever been thrown to 5 times in a UND football game? Funny that he catches 5 balls in limited action. OK, not funny. Sad really...wasted opportunities.

Is this the guy from highlands Ranch Colorado?

Prescription Adderall is commonly abused by college football players to improve their reaction time. Using it for that purpose is cheating and is why it's on the banned list. Why would we apologize if he used it without a prescription?

So, taking PEDs and playing in a semi final game isn't cheating as long as you pay the penalty when you get caught? If it wasn't cheating, there wouldn't be a penalty. By your reasoning, it isn't cheating if you don't get caught.

Great hire for them. He and his staff are clearly head and shoulders above all other FCS staffs.

6-5 next year will be equivalent to 8-3 this year.

I hope Landry interviews. I also hope chaves insists on someone who could potentially be elevated to head coach if needed.

Wonder if UND looked like they gave up because they were frustrated with the guy they voted to be captain not getting a shot in a game where it was clear Kett wasn't getting it done. Putting Zimmerman in could have really given the team a shot in the arm. Missed opportunity to change momentum in the game. Very narrow minded decision by Bubba.

2 for 18 on third down conversions. We did win the TOP battle though. Just curious, what would Ketteringham have to do to get benched? And why would Zimmerman consider staying with the program if the isn't a change in coaching staff?

Buying out Bubba's contract would cost about a half million, correct? I think the best option is Chavez hiring an o coordinator as a head coach in waiting.

If you had known SHSU and Montana weren't going to be good, you would probably have expected 8 or 9 wins right? That's why the season feels like disappointment.

I don't think player talent is the issue.

Exactly. Coaching calls like that explain why our offense is what it is. Consistently under prepared.

How does the defense jump off sides that many times in one series, let alone one game. . And how do you not figure out the rush needs to contain the QB? Kett's clock MGMT in the last drive was poor, and he was off the entire game. What would it take for Zimmerman to get a chance to play?

Thanks. I don't want to pay the extra TM fees.
