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.

I am banking on them being too naïve to get hurt.

One thing that is kind of specific to running backs is either they have great instincts with the ball in their hand, or they don't. So what I am trying to say is a guy can have great instincts from day 1......nothing to develop but the mental side of being assignment sharp and heck, the QB can help with this pre snap.

Either one of these things happens: (all in my humble opinion) 1) we get another capable FBS running back this summer or 2) Jade Lawrence becomes an option at RB (the UM transfer at OLB may have afforded us this option) We may just end up with a lot of youth at RB, but youth doesn't mean they can't be productive. Don't sleep on Santiago, too, he's a player.

Reality - Who is denying UND is most known for hockey?

I think pride is different than having a complex about success on the field or even in business or your personal life. Point is, you can have pride without being an arrogant prick.

I didn't see it as bitter, just would be nice to have a broader approach to top programs across the board at UND. I am not blaming hockey......... From conversations I've had, private funding has to be 100% available on all phases of the indoor facility before construction starts. (public funds???) The only problem I have with hockey is fans with a superiority complex.

Nevermann wasn't going to help this year and my opinion is he lacked the ability to be anything more than a tough banger. Sharp didn't show the level of play needed to earn a spot, and I'm guessing the same with Blass. So we have Arrington, not sure on Norberg at RB/LB, but Olivera and Smith will get a real shot at playing time. All this shake-up would make sense with the announcement of a new RB coming to the program......we'll see.
