Another OL commit from Luke on Twitter - and boy do we need to hit on some OL. Probably can't block near as good as Jimmy K 2.0 (Ben Elefson) But if we get ahead 40 points (big If) we could throw him an OL eligible meaningless touch down pass, never know.

3 TDS as follows: TD vrs Sam H. St. made it 48-6 TD vrs Miss V St. made it 58-7 TD vrs Indiana St. made it 45-0 Get the mop out!! He is a local kid, from my dad's home town. I hope he has a break out season!! But thus far......pretty sparse production. Just jabbing a little. And sorry for getting off topic. My 2019 sources say the Riviere kid is the cream at TE. And the next target for UND is better than the Riviere kid. Probably not a secret as several MVFC are high on him.

I think we have all called out our TEs and lack of production many times over.

Where is the 'laugh' opton!!

"Thee" Ben Elefson that is, with 6 career receptions in mop up time. (freshman and Sophomore) Does he break out his Jr. and Sr. year?? If not what a flop considering the hype.

Being top dog only works when you are the top dog. A mediocre dog is a lonely dog at the next level.

That was a piss pour defensive game. 1st play of the game I think, we call a 3 deep coverage and our players can't cover a deep post....total horsecrap. And all season, we never seem to double the stud on the other team that we all know is getting the ball when it counts. But more often, with the ebb and flow of games, I recall our offense being pretty poor until it didn't really matter in the game, then stats were padded later in the game.

You have to stay eligible to be a star......shocking I know!!

So full blogs and reporting = 1st round bye in play-offs No blogs and reporting = destructive 3 W season Why is this even debatable!!

Not sure if just a visit or signed. I thought signed. Not sure why it is a secret at this point, unless RP cashed it in a few days early over the week of the 4th.

Might want to suite up the band for this game -

1. Everett Williams/Tyron Verde - Whomever steps up at inside gives us some run stopping pride back. 2. Lenny Nelson - Big and strong, not sure if corner or safety yet, but will add to what was an injured, then young and porous secondary last year. 3. Garrett Maag - Huge and athletic, runs better that our other 'bigs' at WR. Seems to 'live' for football type of guy. 4. Donny Ventrelli - 6'4" 250 lb DE/TE in High School, projected as a guard. If he can redshirt and put the size on, this guy could be all-conference and more. He's off the edge like a wild man, then split out at WR, most athletic guard I've seen. 5. CB CJ Siegel - Quick as lightning. We'll see how fast he is, and how well he can tackle are my concerns. I thinks he's a year out, but could be really good.

This game is a joke, should be 21-0 after our 1st three offensive drives. If it isn't, our season is in trouble.

I like hearing, better than how thrilled a kid is about academics, is being fully committed and junk yard dog crazy about competing and winning football games!! Hopefully these are the type of players we are getting.

Well, we can offer earlier playing time compared to SDSU and NDSU right now. The SU's are coming off a semi and another natty. Heads up against these 2 programs is going to be tough this year!! We need a lot of wins and some innovation on offense. The Jacks send a TE and WR to the NFL, know how to adjust to their talent, that is attractive. NDSU does every thing well, even though they are a little boring offensively, they get it done. If I were a receiver type, I would pick the Jacks over UND and NDSU. I don't know what to tell you.....I am a big UND guy!!

All those 'Eastern Michigan' type teams are a total joke. Have fun playing in the Toilet Bowl some day. Smart move to go to SU.

Bubba has his methods. If you look close that is not an arm on the shoulder. That is "The Claw" Baron Von Raschtke style, paralyzing commits so they can't go to other camps!!

Exactly. The only direction I have heard is UND tells these kids pick a reasonable amount of camps, but don't burn yourself out at every single one. When teams get near full, all teams, they have to at some point tell recruits to sh_t or get off the pot, I don't doubt that all teams occasionally have that talk near the end of the class or closer to signing date(s).

UND Hockey only....ba bye!! I had a UND Hockey only fan join us at tailgating last year. He had so much fun his wife called me a week back to get him season FB tickets!! We were undefeated in tailgating last season!!

Who cares?? The mom needed the kid to flip her.....what?? No one should be surprised at how shallow and superficial some are. On the flip side, a long time banker/insurance guy I know, from up north by Hoople, graduated from NDSU but now has season tickets at UND because of the "pompous a--holes" that fill the Fargo dome. (his words, not mine) But I suppose that story doesn't write as well. When Fargo N. elementary sends classes to NDSU to run around on the field with some football players my girls insist on full head-to-toe UND. They say the players are really nice to them and joke about it, not a big deal. That impresses me more than some 'fan flipper' that probably never went to a UND football game anyway.

No doubt!! Although it's only a part time gig for me.....there are a few interesting prospects coming up, could project to FCS level, but certainly no guarantees. (I don't stalk HS kids, a family member just happens to be one)

Every name I've sent their direction, sophomore on up, the staff 1) knows the kid 2) is following the kid 3) has the kid scheduled for a camp I don't know all the rules and regs so I won't say any names but it is Moorhead to the lakes area kids.

I respectfully disagree- I don't doubt we could be down 21 fairly quickly. But at some point it's Washington that will put in their 2nd and 3rd string guys at which point we should battle back and have some success and build some confidence for the rest of the season.

Could be.... What about the Weber St. home game, same weekend as UND vrs Minnesota in Vegas (hockey)??!! I can't remember if I bitched about that yet, but I am pissed about it.

A player can shave 2, maybe 3 10ths in college, which wouldn't make them too slow. I figured with 6 Natty's in 7 years you guys would be bringing in guys that size that are burners. Goes to show how much player development goes into SU's success.
