Need $$ for football and the only significant $$ is that which is gifted. Filling the Alerus from 10,500 to 12,800 for 5 games looks great on paper, but that is only a small help financially. If the Football program has enough ticket revenue to pay for the use of the Alerus, they are happy. We have resorted to playing big money games, like Utah/Washington, but those funds are swallowed up by the rest of the season's travel budget. The only other answer is private funds, gifted to football, by the mass to keep this thing afloat until a big event happens. Will we have a big financial event??, I think it is possible if not likely, but it won't happen for a while. (Schmitty will be in his 15th year as head coach, give or take)

Upvote, Downvote, Love just doesn't fit sometimes. We need a laugh/funny option!!

If I were in charge, and I probably should be, I'd count each Canadian commit at half of face value. Since you can't count on a half commit, another Canadian commit at O-line would of made 1 full commit. That's the rule, going forward.

Joe Prothoroe, Cal Poly, #5. Thanks!! I needed a good laugh today. Don't worry, after his 78 full back dives in the 1st 2 and a half games, he'll be injured again and then talked about how great of player he was. "He's sure dynamic plunging ahead for 3.7 yards a pop, 30 carries, 111 yards per game". What a joke.

4-5 guys, say over 4 years in the NFL draft?? That's about one half of one percent of draftees, negligible. I think most Canadian kids understand if they have NFL aspirations, you get into the NCAA.

Serious question. Isn't Canadian College football a total joke?? I have never seen a game on, ever. I don't watch the NFL draft that close, any Canadian College players taken?

After Norberg went down at fullback, the talent level at that position dropped dramatically. If we have someone like Norberg, let's use a full back set. If we don't, move DeVore there as an H-back, JJ as an offensive threat, go without a FB, or use a FB sparingly as a battering ram (if we have one tough enough). I am not anti fullback, I am anti average level fullback. When Norberg smashed the Richmond LB that was an awesome and effective play, sends a message. But without that type of player, gotta move on from traditional full back sets. (paging Rudy)

So much good stuff in your post!! I expect this, this year: Best players, in Space, with Ball in Hand.

Ick, but you are probably on to something, should be an option in the future. Woody Hayes, refusing to gas up car in Michigan, classic!!

22 Will Ratelle's. No punter needed, go for 2 every time.

I commend the Jacks for the vision of 19,000 plus sell-outs. As mentioned, Sioux Falls, Population 178,500 and growing is an hour away and Watertown is pretty dinky but is also part of the fan base. I like the Jacks program. I think they can keep growing their base, and I look forward to the drive. SDSU is innovative on offense and play as hard as anyone. As a player, you didn't want to be an opponent on Hobo Days. Still a lot of work to do in GF in selling out the Alerus.

I went to IHOP this morning, in his honor.

Maybe someone should have taken the advice of NFL scouts.......apply for a medical hardship and prove you can stay healthy 1 year in college.

Rain is a good thang.

The eye test. Big, moved well.

I got 3 - Offense - Cam Mckinney - He is the only guy close to running with Santiago. Defense - Zeke Ott - Is this a 'next level' type athlete, could be?? & Lenny Nelson - Looked legit at the spring game. We need to win 1 on 1 battles as I suspect we'll be forcing teams to throw in 2018.

Whoa!! Good for him, he's a good guy!!

I've been imagining there is beer, with girls in bikinis!!!

So he has a history of punching lockers and breaking hand/wrist........

We need several 'real deals' in the secondary or we are toast this year. Our Corners have a shot at being pretty good with a healthy Harris, Holm, Blubaugh, Carter has played quite a bit, and it'd be a good thing if Nelson jumped all of them to solidify Corner. However, with the safety position, I don't see a scenario in which our peak performance will be anything more than average.

Keep in mind a QB doesn't need a strong arm nor a good offensive line to execute an effective screen game. Keaton had some intangibles to do some things in my opinion other than a traditional drop back passer. That's the part I put on the program, gotta play with what you have. 2018, definitely looking at a QB to take control of the O........but expectations are middle of the road, that way I can easily jump either way without pulling a hammy.

Not having Gordon as RB is just stupid. Put me in that boat.

We don't want to advertise the new wrinkles and the __________ series they are putting in. Just guessing -

"Stiegelmeier said he hadn't eaten all day, was at home doing taxes and had some wine before he went out without thinking about how much he had to drink." He'd better budget about $10,000 more in personal expenses next year!!!

Really good listen! Refreshing to hear good football minds with Craig and Kelly. Diamond back field, would love that. Kelly had me rolling with the Stonebrook flashback when what seemed like 2- 1st downs and 80 total yards, and won on the Tillman pick 6.
