    We offered Parkers Prairie's Travis Younke (TE, 6'5", 230) today.  He has an offer from UNI but will get a bunch more.  Talented kid! 

    You offer, you get, then use them.

    the spring football prospectus listed dates for the bold games are all sunday and incorrect.

    'What’s going on?  If you go to the Site that has the Roster,Coaches, Stats etc the Schedule is there and all dates are correct on Sat except opening game on Thursday. I tried to Copy or get the Link but it didn’t work

  3. I’m planning on coming up for the 1st game in August. Want to see a game live and I don’t have a rabbit foot but still would like to see a win. Big or small a win is a win. Do hotel reservations have be made really early? Do all you regular bloggers sit together as it w/be nice to meet some of you face to face? Maybe you tailgate together, huh?

    The first rule of GOBC is we don't talk about GOBC which is why minutes are not kept. Everyone needs plausible deniability. Please tell me you are using your burner phone or posting from the library.;)

    What is GOBC?

    Can't agree more.  Makes no sense. The current TE's are very athletic and not used to there potential. All you hear about is the pro style offense we are using and the TE's are not involved for the most part in the pass offense. Nothing like you see at the next level.

    Also, I have watched games in the SEC and the NFL and TE’s are used often. A lot of talent going to waste.

    Pinke is intriguing to me at tight end.  Fiedler can't block, and Cloyd can't catch.  Small sample, yes, but looked like Pinke can do both.  The kid is put together for a freshman too.

     

    Apparently pancakes don’t count.  Maybe you need cataract surgery.

    Anyone who is concerned about their kid/buddy not getting a conference championship ring needs to reevaluate their own priorities and what they are emphasizing to that kid.  Seriously.

    Why then were they promised a ring? Was it all a joke? It’s not funny. I hear Basketball and Hockey got something. Rings, I don’t know. What are you emphasizing to your kids? Promises don’t have to be kept. Is that it? Cheap shot.

    You are correct. Biggest reason I would like Rudolph replaced.  I also think the QB situation and how it was handled is Bubba's biggest mistake as a head coach.  There was absolutely no reason for them to pull Studsrud's redshirt at the end of a year we weren't going to make the playoffs. Hanson could have finished the season handing the ball off and Studsrud would be a senior next year.  We all gave Keaton a pass for 3 years and much of this year because of the O line and receivers dropping passes.  We never gave either Mollberg  or Bartles a pass for the same problems.  Their  1st 2 yrs our o line was as bad or worse and we had no running game.  Their 1st yr they had talent at WR but those guys including Hardin had too many drops and the Fr Golladay and Jackson weren't always running the correct nor disciplined routes. Look at some of the old film and see what kind of protection those guys had.  Mollberg was developing his Soph year before he got hurt and both years you should have been able to see the potential.  Our staff did nothing to develop any of these three QB's.  What progress Studsrud made was more the result of his own initiative and hard work than coaching.  I know Mollberg and Bartles turned the ball over too much their Fr year but they also had no pass protection.  Keaton had more Int than TD's his senior year.  He also turned it over on a couple of fumbles.  Whose is to say how Mollberg would have played but he should have been given a chance. They didn't let him play even when Keaton was injured.  He got hurt when he was starting to play better and was told at the end of the season he was no longer in their plans.   Rudolph treated him like crap and he didn't deserve that. You don't do that to a kid who gets hurt playing for you.  The following August he was healthy and could have played.  For those who think it was because he wasn't healthy you don't know what you are talking about.  At the end of his Junior season one of the RB's told Mollberg Rudolph had commented he would never see the field Again as long as he was coaching here.  Mollberg said he would play any position they thought would help the team so he was moved to TE. They also hinted they would cut his scholarship.  I know some think my opinion is only because he was from DL.  Maybe you are right.  I also told UND Adam Thielen had the best hands of any HS receiver I had seen and I guess that must have been my DL bias too because UND didn't recruit him.  Incidentally, Mollberg set a DL BBB career scoring record his senior year breaking Adam Thielen's record.  He was Bohl and Vigen's top QB recruit his Sr year and they seem to know something about QB's. (Brock Johnson, Wentz and now Josh Allen).  How the hell Rudolph and Bubba didn't want to at least give him a fair shot at coming back from his injury will never make sense to me.  He was an excellent student, great athlete and great kid.  He had as good of an arm as I have seen at UND in the almost 50 yrs I have been involved with UND FB.   Had Mollberg been QB his last 2 years, he would have pissed off Rudolph because he would have changed some of the dumb ass play calling but I think we would have been better both years and made the playoffs 2 yrs ago and gone further in the playoff last year.  No way to know what would but if anyone doesn't think we need a QB  coach I disagree and I would bet all three of those QB's would agree.   I think Bubba did what he thought would be best for the team and what he was trying to establish offensively.  I disagreed with his decision but he is at practice and he is coaching.  He is the one held responsible for the decisions.  In that I supported him. They way Rudolph treated Mollberg was not acceptable and I will support his dismissal.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Mollberg have Spondiolitis?  If so, not fun, very painful, and robs one of energy.  I read the article about him. Felt so bad for him and the way he was treated.

    Frost is a TOP candidate for U of Florida. 

    What? I ain’t heard that McElwain was let go unless it happened today.  He is on the edge. SEC coaches win games or else. Maybe he would like a job in the tundra.

    The depth chart is from August, around the beginning of fall camp (hence the term pre-fall).  Some of the information isn't updated (most of it is height and weight, but looks like Fiedler didn't get his year updated either).  I'm guessing if you were to look at Fiedler on the roster last year he would be listed as 6'5" and 235 pounds.  Same with most everyone - the height and weight would have been from last years roster.  Does that make more sense?

    Well, I guess as I don't recall when the 2017 Roster came out. New Roster lists him at 255 and that is a 20 lb. spread which is a lot. Don't you think? But thanks for the response. Go Hawks!

    Playing maybe, but not starting and playing pretty much every down. Based on the pre-fall depth chart posted a few days ago, I don't think the redshirt freshman were planning on seeing a ton of snaps behind Stockwell and Bell other than some rotation. The silver lining is there are quite a few getting a taste now and are learning what it takes.

    Where did you get this Depth Chart? It is not accurate. Fiedler is a Jr at 250 lbs and he is a fraction of an inch under 6.6 from what I hear. Why then did they list him as 6.5 when he is closer to 6.6?

    I haven't had great luck with casting from the Pluto app on my phone to Chromecast.  Wondering if others have experienced the same?  How about those who use Roku?  And if it works well, are you casting to Roku from a device, or running the app directly on Roku?

    I was able to Cast last Saturday but it kept going off so I gave up and watched it on my a Tablet.  Will try again this Saturday. Said 6 o'clock but what a Time Zone?  Too early today for Pluto to show time. Prob Saturday morning. Go Hawks!

    Third down in that situation should never be a draw. Second down I can live with.

    What is  a draw in FB jargon? I was so disgusted I stopped watching the game w/ 8 minutes to go.

    Not nearly enough looks for the TE's. Fiedler and Cloyd could be big weapons if used right and ultimately help open the run game. Defense knows they don't throw to them. Today Fiedler was open at least 3 times and never got a look. Maybe due to pressure but seems they try and force the ball long instead of taking the 8-10 yard shots. 

    I noticed the same thing today. Doesn't even make sense to be open like that and not get a throw. The whole scene makes me sick. Need an OlC from out East next year. And not a "Higgins" either.
