Disterhaupt- eye of the tiger, it's an intangible he plays with. Nothing wrong with 3 starting outside backers to keep guys fresh.

He was very complimentary of the current UND staff. Emphasized the home field advantage in the playoffs as the goal. I try not to like the guy, yet he's pretty likable when you talk to him.

To answer this.....only if we get a bad case of the injury bug. Schmitty has him slated for OLB.

I think he is a 4.5 guy out of high school. He could easily be a 4.4 guy coming into camp or a year into the program. I liked his size and instincts at RB in Minnesota's highest level. I think your statement is a little bearish on the kid. I've heard he is a great kid and is working his @ss off......if you want to believe his high school coach.

If we lost 50% of our entire recruiting class that would be catastrophic. So I don't think 50% is a decent success rate. I think it's a hotbed too, and I'm sure the coaches are aware of, and more so now of 1) other football options the Canadian kids have 2) eligibility requirements going forward Canada to US

Maybe we need a new policy on Canadian kids. 2 out of 5-6 have bailed for one reason or another. Both Williams and Hanson could have been 3-4 year starters in my opinion.

Just brutal. Travis was a well liked and respected player, and his positive energy could be felt as a teammate and beyond the football field.

ohhhhhh, we have some hurt feelings, so sad.

Ditto - It's all about how big of an idiot a player can be after making a big shot for Sports Center now a days. Watched 5 minutes, it sucked.

Some guys want to play football and would give anything for an opportunity to play on game day, while others are satisfied to walk around campus with their jersey on and sleeves rolled-up.

Parks is a year removed from high school, and was under a pretty good program for a year, I'm not going to rush to judgment. According to U of M he ran a mid 4.4 handheld. It's not inconceivable he could shave another tenth the rest of his career. Concerning agility, a north/south runner could be a nice change. I'll take a north/south guy over a dancer in the hole. (Simmons)

A great find and get. I am declaring the D-line as solidified. What does the staff have up it's sleeve for a corner and RB? RB a little more critical than corner.

Coaches are excited about Baker (Park River golf event) Maurice has connections - Correct, things cooled on a RB from a power 5 conference. The Minnesota kid is still being evaluated, though. Coaches are working hard.

I missed what our connection is with the New Mexico kid, Baker??

Sorry about being captain obvious........I just saw the article.

Correct, 2 years. I know he's expected to be in the 2 deep for sure. I like the addition. Good athlete at 260 lbs, shows good awareness, takes good angles and never gives up on a play. Hearing crickets on the RB position right now......for the most part.

Or not.......

When Schmitty burps, then we have enough. We have 2 senior starters so maybe looking at some depth issues for next year, too.

Say that to my face and you will find out what I throw-

Dr. Mincer, Should I have said "was a critical MVC game in the Bison's season" Bison were 3-1 in conference play, SUI was 4-1 in conference play heading into the 2012 game. I guess that game didn't mean much. Done with this-

Wish list- RB, Corner, DE transfer from Big 10, Big or PAC 12 conference- I was never excited about a backup corner from W. Michigan.........we should be on the same level as the MAC, or soon will be.

Bummer.........afraid beer and football is better than just football I suppose.

Although the manager at BWW would personally be 'OK' with your suggestion it could be bad for business. However, in welcoming both fan bases the north BWW did add onto the west (1-2 years ago....) with an upstairs outside area and a 3-season type expansion below to accommodate overflows for such events.

Good stuff - I spoke with an NDSU guy about tailgating. He said a general tailgate lot is open to visitors at $5.00 per spot. But, it is open to SU fans, too, so expect to get in line the day before to get a spot. Given SU actually knows how to promote things like tailgating maybe there will be additional options for both sides come game day......for 'just another game'.

That was my initial thought, wowser on the Kelley green. I like it.
