  1. Great win. And to those fans that were screaming when Studsrud was running down the clock before the field goal, shut up and figure it out.

    We should have ran it down to 2-3 seconds to be critical.....so the game was over on the make. I think we had enough time on the play clock.

  2. We had about 40 player visits at the game yesterday. It looks like 5-6 were guys that already gave verbal commitments. I get the feeling our staff knows how to recruit. It helps when the head coach 100% believes in the program.

  3. Who the heck is going to replace Tillman next year, that kid is the heart and soul of our defense and is fantastic as a return man. Hopefully someone is ready to step up.

    Tillman has made some game winning plays this year no doubt, but today he was toasted for a TD and had a bad penalty. To your point I agree about the secondary still needing some serious help, especially ball skills on 3rd and long. Attention shut down corners, you can start 4 years at UND.........

  4. I saw Olivera and Bennett walking around. Both well built young dudes. Bennett is a tall LB.

    Olivera is thick, looks like he is ready to play. Aren't the Canadian kids a bit older coming into college??

  5. One play in particular that deserves some mention is William James forcing a fumble in the red zone. That was, to me, the play of the game. It set the tone for the d and was a huge points swing.

    Great play! Still confused by all the 3rd and long conversions though- we need more football awareness in those situations.

  6. Three of our verbals from the Twin Cities were just named to the All-Metro team by KARE11, the local NBC affiliate. They are:

    • Harry Momoh, LB from Hopkins
    • Carl Engwall, DE from Lakeville North
    • John Santiago, RB from St. Francis
    Defense: http://www.kare11.com/story/sports/high-school/2014/11/14/kare-all-metro-defense-kare-11-2014/18969943/

     

    Offense: http://www.kare11.com/story/sports/high-school/2014/11/14/all-metro-offense-2014-kare-11/18972507/

    I am impressed-

    Momoh reminds me of Wes Atkinson. Although a little short, explosive and fast off the edge.

  7. I figured a Weber blow-out was gonna happen last week, too...I just didn't post it because I would have been skewered by Shawn-O as a Bison homer again...

    Did you pick the Griz to win on a last second field goal......I did.

    What's your pick then against NAU?

  8. I always thought Coastal being ranked that high was a joke. EWU gets beat by a PAC 12 team by what, a point and gets beat by a ranked FCS team by 2 points, with their star QB out, but somehow Coastal Carolina, who have played nobody, is ranked higher. LMAO.

    Coastal should maybe be ranked around 15. Whatever Harvard is at, right around there.

     

    I think we all get it.  Just a ballpark but Coastal might be 5-6th best team if in the MVFC and 3rd-4th best team if in BSC.  What does it really matter to NDSU because they can easily outbid the current teams higher than them for home field, doesn't it work that way??  Anyway, your boys will be in the playoffs and we'll be full time recruiting in 2 weeks.  I suppose it sucks walking around day with 4 fingers up instead of the normal #1.........

  9. 23 - Weber

    16 - UND

     

    Another pistol, zone read offense, with the ability to pass.  We've been smoked the last 2 games facing something similar.  Weber's been close in quite a few games.  Weber has athletes in secondary, and won't respect any pass game, therefore will stack the box and we'll be stubborn running into it.  I don't know how we can score enough to win.  If we don't score on D or special teams, I'm going with a loss.  I hope to be dead wrong.......yours truly- Negative Nelly

  10. There's always a need to paint one side as the good guy in this stuff, and one party as the bad guy.

     

    When a program is in transition like this, I don't think there is necessarily a good or bad guy.

     

    Some parts just don't fit the new machine and it is time for both to move on.

     

    We can safely say there was a good and a bad.  The WR position group meetings are 'much more enjoyable' and 'have some positivity and energy'. -anonymous source

  11.  

     

     

     

    Looks to me like he wants to party, smoke pot, and act like an idiot.  Coaches have a name for guys like that, 'Soft'.

     

    If it's health or family related scratch my first comment and I'm sorry-  But look at the photo.

  12. So can we assume Bartles has a season ending injury too?

     

    Best info I have is a sprained shoulder, somewhere between a grade I and grade II on throwing shoulder.  If you google search it will tell you what the grades are. 

  13. Sounds like an In/Out of Network type of thing to me.  Or something along those lines.  They obviously did not mark up their stuff that much.

     

    In/Out of network wasn't on my mind with screaming infant.  It's all so FUBARed now with the games insurance companies play and OBumma Care. (I thought he said it would lower costs.........I guess that was a lie cause my coverage more than doubled)

  14. Absolutely. If I had to apply a simplistic way of thinking to the recruiting as a way to improve UND football, it would be to recruit locally (ND, MN, MB, WI, etc.) and get the kids to buy in and use all their years of eligibility at UND.

    That was Mussman's issue; just too much attrition. If Bubba can get all of his recruits to stick around and develop, it will create good depth and produce championship caliber teams. It worked for him at UMD.

    For example, if UND didn't lose all of the departures over the last couple years, UND might not be so bad (more depth at WR and CB). If all these true freshmen playing now stick around and play together as juniors and seniors, UND will be very competitive and perhaps good.

     

    Talent and depth will cure a lot of frustrations.  We have to go out and see what's their for FBS/JUCO guys more so the next 2-3 years or until.......we don't need to do that.  We'll see how connected Maurice is this off season, he's a good guy.  I think the success Tillman has had will help with FBS guys next year.  Plus, the guy from the Gophers, Jordan, he has 2 more years to develop and has been a plus for the program.  The positive with FBS guys is they know what to expect with a structured program.  With JUCOs, well they are in JC for a reason.....so it's between picking winners and 'losers'-  The staff worked a minor miracle given the time frame last year.  I hope we don't get smoked the rest of the year cause that could affect recruiting.

  15. its about supporting small business in ND.  What do you want it to be....id rather pay a few extra bucks and know that money stays in Grand Forks/ my hometown to continue to be spent in the local economy, not to corporate headquarters in Arkansas.

     

     

    Like the $180.00 they tried charging my wife and I at CVS in N. Fargo for our son who just ruptured his ear drum....or the $12.00 we ended up paying at the Moorhead Wal-mart.  I understand supporting small business but this experience seriously pissed me off.  Vote yes on #7!!
