So no opinions of communities in North Dakota.......thanks Sheriff. I'm sure Glen is offering romantic canoe rides as we speak to recruits.

Maybe depends if it is his throwing shoulder or not. In theory, one could play with an injured shoulder, non throwing arm, would be gutsy.

That gives a different meaning to the word "Jack"- or should it be "Jacked".

Do people take shots at SDSU?

Maybe I missed it, what is Joe's injury?

That's a joke bro. I haven't heard a coach from UND say a bad word about any program......and I have prodded the last 20 years. Get lost.

Always a spot at Courtney's Comedy Club for Joe. I hope he gets his lockjaw checked out today after blowing the Bison that hard and long.

I have accepted the youth, inconsistency, average talent, lack of depth, and a coaching staff with little experience in the Big Sky and 1 late/partial year recruiting. Maybe 1 or 2 more wins this year and continue the rebuild. I am still optimistic about the next few years.

Vermillion is a dump, it has to be a tough place to recruit. I don't think the 12 people listening to his press conference are going to matter.

Bartels throws off his back foot a lot and uses a lot of arm, but he makes it work.

We might beat the record set by the French army for most drops in 2nd half.

UND - 30 SUU - 27 in overtime

About Sharp, or any other player, the answer is the same. The coaches will play the player that gives them the best chance to win, judged by them. So ability and performance are the criteria, mixed in with character. We have a punter that 'didn't tell the truth about his eligibility' yet talent wise is a better punter than the freshman. And, we have someone on the d-line with talent, but with some character issues, and his playing time has been affected. With Sharp, I don't know of any character issues, so I have to conclude the coaches are more confident in the other backs as far as ability and performance.

You do understand what 'Extremely Hypothetical' means in this case, correct? It's not like the topic is named 'Playoffs Here We Come!!'

That number might be a little skewed as Cal Poly put up 470 (going off memory) rushing yards or something crazy against SUU......and that's an unconventional running attack. But overall point taken, we should be able to muster at least 150/ground, 150/air, or it will be a disappointment.

I hope he is back in the mix, but we are still running behind a Barry Sanders type line......that hopefully evolves into an Emmit Smith type line the next few years.

I think for the most part if a defense wants to shut down our run game, they will, cause we don't have the horses to force it down anyone's throat. Like an old CEO told me, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't shove his head in it." That said, I think Rudolph has accepted this to a point and starting taking more yards via the pass. Opening up the passing game may open up the run game......we'll see. I'd like to think we could run or pass on Southern Utah cause they haven't stopped either.

About the game - Southern Utah, last 3 games has passing yards of 402, 434, and 528 in the most recent loss. UND only had 503 total yards in its last 2 games combined (Griz and Portland St.) to add some perspective. Point being, Southern Utah might not even bother with running the ball, I wouldn't if I were them. We really need our offense to chew up the clock and yards, and capitalize with TD's on drives. If we lay an egg offensively we'll be in trouble. Definitely an interesting matchup with their passing yards and if we are susceptible on defense, it's the passing defense. I think the whole secondary is due for some picks. note to Schmitty: watch #6 out of the backfield on wheel route, don't get caught in man-to-man with LB

We have 4 dog fights left on the schedule and an Eastern Washington game in which we're a 2-3 touchdown dog. Here's to biting and scratching the rest of the year-

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am pretty sure students want to drink cheap beer and not be hassled, and live life through a smart phone.

We need a uniform contract in a bad way. Kids want to look good, cool, whatever you want to call it.

That word starts with a d and ends with a bag.

Who are you arguing with.....if you are looking for a reaction about the same story every year here is one- total !@#!$! comment.

Point being 7-5 is a no go for playoffs, especially with bad loss to Missouri St. and struggles with Robert Morris.

I'm sure someone will do a big analysis but it appears to me the Big Sky is down a bit this year and Missouri Valley is solid. So I will say it, I think the Big Sky is second fiddle.
