Spring practice without Teeder's reports.....is not the same. Doesn't even seem like spring practice is happening right now.....has been so little chat about it.

So is it coach Rudy, or is it Bubba = Mr. Hand?

Those are some good non conference games scheduled so far. Obiously we'll all look forward to the FBS games, but playing Sam Houston back to back years will be interesting as well. The only year we don't have an FBS game we play you know who, so an exciting non conference game that year too. Looks good!

Yep!

If we didn't come back and beat Weber and make it to the dance, would this thread still be called Fire Jones? Wouldn't surprise me if it was, and many would say he stinks and we need to get rid of him. But a great comeback by the team in the conference championship game and within minutes he is one of the best FCS coaches and we need to keep him. Gotta love fan bases sometimes. I wonder if a Fire Berry thread will be started if he doesn't get us another Natty this year.

Dickinson had a 7 footer this year, err well close to it not sure if Meidinger is a true 7 feet or not. The other school got him though.....

Maybe Moody can be that guy.....

After getting down big for a while in first half....looked like it might be a blowout. Great comeback in the second half to make it interesting for a while in the second half and fun to watch! If that charge was called instead of a block......might have kept it close a lot longer. Great effort team!

16 straight free throws......damn that has to be closing in on some kind of NCAA tourney record I would think.

If the free throw percentages were reversed.....we'd be within 10 points.

I know they've missed a couple.....but feels like they haven't missed any all night.

That blocking foul that was a charge.....what a turning point.......Ugh.

Also playing with two true freshman at WR last year due to the top two WR's out for most of the season, granted Wanzek actually turned out to make him look good sometimes too with great catches. On top of that an OL that was shaky to start the year. Also in my opinion it's not that fair to even count the stats from his first year when looking for averages, he was a true freshman coming off the scout team at the end of the year. The NAU game he brought us back with his arm and gutted it out playing hurt. He's still not the best on those swing throws out of the back field and generally locks on his primary receiver right away. Like everyone else I think the main thing is he just needs to improve his consistency and I sure hope he improves that completion percentage this year. Only throwing 2-3 INT's the last two years is also a huge check on the plus side with him, on top of his running and scrambling ability.

He sure looks good......and FAST!

Cool it does look good. I think white pants, grey top, white helmet would look good. Heck I'd settle for a 6th grade photo shop of that combo if you're up for it!

If I could pick from all of those things......I'd pick white helmet.

Opposite for me, I'm dreading the switch as far as coverage when we move to the MVFC. I have CenturyLink and they currently have zero packages available that have ESPN3, I won't be able to watch squat unless I change providers. I'm going to miss having the watchbigsky.com option. I'll have to figure something out when the time comes.

It will be nice not to have to cringe and gasp every time Studs gets hit this year......assuming that Zimmerman can be a legit #2. Also being able to call 7-8 running plays a game will help keep teams honest and help the running game overall.

That play is a guaranteed 25 yard pick up at least once a game.....it's like clock work.

I was thinking the same thing, but was just telling myself......no news in the off season.....is probably good news!

Quite a long list, great job by our coaches to make sure we didn't have any!

Cliff Clavin moment haha

Has their been a mantra coined at all for the team this year....like last years "Leave No Doubt"?

I agree, I think we have very good pieces in all the other places........and if our line can take a step forward next year that will likely be the most important factor on our season and how consistent we are throughout the year. Took a step back last year on the OL, particularly at the beginning of the season with 4 new starters. I'm hoping this fall is the year our OL comes out of the gate strong so we don't have to struggle so much the first 2-3 games of the year.

Yeah no doubt! When the local sports people in CO in the know say these guys have are that good and have been over looked that says something. Great recruiting class this year all the way around! And gotta love the local press there talking pretty highly about UND, hopefully we can continue to pull some great recruits out of that area.
