    I like black on black with green accents, but I'm also a fan of green and black top/pant combination in some form. Then again, I'm a fan of darker jersey colors. 

     

    With that said, I really, really wish there was some sort of webcast for the spring event. Being out of town, I'd love to get a taste of what the team looks like this spring but alas, guess it's not meant to be.

    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.

    Give the staff some credit, after losing two guys the caliber of John and Brady, I still feel pretty excited about the RB's we have going into this year.  And definitely excited to see what they can do with a more experienced OL, and real offense. Gordon was really good when he got his chances early on, he'll definitely be a nice change of pace to JJ.  I think the different RB's will compliment each other well this year and we have some different styles to mix things up. 

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

    Not quite, Clemson took responsibly and acknowledged the substance, NDSU called their player a liar and passed on the blame. 

    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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    Makes no difference. The people who said they would never do it have been proven demonstratively wrong. Which isnt something new.:lol:

    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....

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

    Maybe Graetz likes aviation! :wink:

    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.

    Everyone here prepared to apologize if it comes out that its prescription adderral?

    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?

    See that’s the problem here that you seem not to be understanding. Nobody cheated, he broke the rules and was appropriately punished per the NCAA. It’s being reported, just not as immediate as UND fans would like.

    It would be cheating if an ineligible player had played following a positive test.

    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.

    The only Muss connection I will accept would be Landry. 

     

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

    NAU probably looked better because of who they were playing. Tough to say, but UND looked like they gave up. 

    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.

    This playoff bubble has a whole different feel than it did in 2015. I really thought in 2015 we had a chance to make some noise in the playoffs, this time the only thing I'm thinking is that we aren't very good. This team has been in every game they lost except FBS Washington and if you asked me to pick a win total before the season started I would have said 6 with a slight possibility of 7 but yet this season feels like a disappointment...

    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.

     how long is it going to be before UND gets to be a great football team again time to dump these lousy ass coaches and recruit players that can compete and start to win some games this has gone on long enough

     

    I don't think player talent is the issue.

  17. 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?
