Any news on how Weah's spring semester went and/or if he will likely be eligible? Not sure if it helped or hurt having things go all online mid semester.

Skokna and Mitchell seem to be somewhat similar backs as McKinney, as in they are all smaller and pretty quick. I think Cam might be the fastest of them though, but having Skokna and Mitchell certainly dampens the impact of McKinney leaving. That said, I don't know why Danny didn't use him on the sweep last year. I'm not sure if he even got the ball once on a sweep, he probably did I just don't remember, but it was few and far between. That was one of the few things Rudy did right....was give it to Cam on the sweep. It seemed like easy money, I don't know why Danny didn't use him like that, truly mind baffling. I think McKinney had the talent to get the ball more than he did (certainly not the 20-25 times a game), I'm not too surprised by him looking to go somewhere he gets the ball more. They way things were going for him, he probably saw himself getting 5 our less touches each game going forward and wanted to be more involved. Good luck to him.

https://herosports.com/fcs/football-2020-team-wins-2010s-bzbz It's a new decade, would like to see us in the top 10 here for the 2020's, top 20 minimum.

Watched the first half of his hudl tape.....looks like he has some nasty in him.....and thoroughly enjoys getting the opposing defenders on their back, love it.

No Thanks, I mean it probably wouldn't be as bad or hard on the eyes as EWU's red field, but let's just stick to green. I don't like the blue, red or whatever color fields there may be.....just harder to watch games on those fields. Maybe you get used to it, I mean maybe EWU's fans are so used to it that it doesn't seem ugly or annoying now when they watch and now they like it. But I'm still a no thanks on any other color than green!

I like the North Dakota in one end zone, Fighting Hawks in the other, and the logo in green. I like the green letters in the end zone out lined in white like he as it.

Perfect timing with starting in a new conference this season too. Let's hope there will be games played this fall!

Wentz is still a capable NFL QB, he led them to playoffs last year. He was on a roll the year they went to the SB and likely would have finished that season out with a SB just like Foles did. It is unfortunate he has gotten hurt though. I think thinking he isn't a capable NFL QB is maybe just too much hatred with NDSU and looking at glass half empty. I don't think the Eagles would have let Foles go if they didn't think Wentz had it in him. I just wish he hadn't gone to the Eagles, as a Cowboys fan.....it's harder to root for him. I certainly don't root against him, just the Eagles in general since I hate the Eagles. If he continues to be injury prone though, then you are right and he may not be around for too much longer as a franchise QB anyway.

We will never take the next step until our OL improves and becomes much better and more consistent. We could change our offense every year trying to figure things out but until we get a good OL we won’t go much further than we have. We scored six points against Nicholls State in the playoffs, six.

Ever since we started talking about new uniforms and/or another helmet color a couple of years ago....I've always thought white should be our next helmet color, would look sharp!

I agree with you, I'd much have him stay on the roster this year. He did get thrown in as a true frosh before he was ready, has made a lot of improvement since then. Sometimes I think he loses focus a little bit however. From going from a starter to a backup your senior year, that wouldn't be fun for any player. I hope he stays, but I can kind of see why he might want to leave. Grass often looks greener on the other side. I think he should finish out his college career as a Fighting Hawk though. Fortunately we do have some nice young talent and depth now at this position.

I live in Gilbert....maybe I can go talk to the Taylor kid

So does Wanzek have any type of realistic shot at the NFL? He has made tons of great highlight catches at UND and will be a WR we will all remember. Does he have the speed to make it at the next level? We complained about our WR's not being able to get separation, wouldn't he be covered like a wet blanket in the NFL? Perfect route running and help offset lack of top end speed, but is it realistic for him? Would love it if he did especially since he is a ND native.

Would be great to finally get a tall WR with top end speed again.

It's certainly going to look a lot better on TV as well.....not having tons of empty seats on the 50 yard line like before. Great move all the way around. We have a more exciting offense, we are now playing the other Dakota schools and other teams people are more familiar with. This should definitely help our attendance going forward. Still have to have the W's though to make it all work.

We will be starting either a redshirt freshman or true freshman this year, I’m ok with an easy first game. Heck NDSU has scheduled cream puffs games in week 1 before so it’s not like we are the only ones. It will still be considered a DI win. Hopefully the second string QB gets to to play the whole 4th quarter to get some reps. SDSU and USD will be packed house and good games. SIU with the controversy about them missing playoffs and us getting in, and that it could be a swing game will make it a good game. Bubba formerly coaching there too, maybe this game ends up stirring a bit of a rivalry depending on how it plays out. Much too soon to spend a lot of time thinking about the entire season being cancelled.

It's all good...I was just having a little fun, the boards have been so quiet lately. I certainly don't don't follow all proper grammar rules when posting on here either. Definitely meant more in fun, than trying to be grammar police.

Two questions..... 1. Who is Regularity 2. Why are they in touch with him?

Certainly not the year we want spring ball to be cut short, when we have three freshman battling for the starting spot. However, thankfully we are able to start spring ball earlier than we were before due to the indoor practice facility so the true freshman did at least get some reps. It will be interesting to see what they do, I'm sure some teams hadn't even started practice yet. Will they maybe be able to have early summer practices, or just add more practices on to fall practice so that all schools get the same amount of practice days?

Glad you are here to join us tonight.

Think I'll go do something and check back at halftime and see if we've hit 10 points yet. A high school team could have scored this many points so far.

This is like watching a Rudy offense in football

Why are our starters still in with a minute to go and a 16 point lead

Nice push to put this game out of reach!

That is exactly what I was thinking!
