Is there a poll that is more respected than the others? How does the selection process work?

Working for the playoffs. 4th q just started. We need a statement win. 30+ point win.

New left guard.

Our Oline was as bad as I've ever seen those first 2 games. I just hear some things at the games that make me bite my lip.

I thought he left the Idaho State at Halftime with a healthy lead. He then missed the next 2 games due to that injury.

Hello, I think the concerns of this being a trap game and the worries over past performances against poor teams are not warranted. Bubba is great and deserves all the credit he is given but I think Studsrud is being overlooked. His presence is as important as anybody. He is 12-3 in his last 15 games. His 3 losses are to NDSU, Bowling Green, and Stony Brook. (somebody please confirm my numbers) As long as he is our QB I have no concerns against lesser teams. The defense it top notch and the OLine appears to be on the upswing. I'm expecting a long winning streak and I plan to enjoy it.

Do we have a decent 2nd string QB on the team right now?

The criticism is fine. Your apparent enjoyment of the football struggles bothers me.

The QB play is no worse than the O-line play as well as the WR play in my opinion. I don't think I'm a great football mind so please don't take me the wrong way. Of the 2 other Big Sky QBs we have seen, who would we rather want to have?

Nobody said we won because of him. I have seen Studsrud play better than a Big 10 QB, doesn't make sense to compare like that. It appears to me he's the best we have right now. I trust Bubba.

Honest question: Do we win this game with a different QB? I don't think we do. Other than the interception I would say Studsrud did very well.

I have never been called a "pie in the sky" guy but I don't understand all the negativity. I was at the game: The host team was very cordial. No problems at all. I heard some tickets being had for between $85 and $100 in the parking lot before the game. I could sense the puckering in the 1st quarter and it was a lot of fun. The defense played well. Yes, 34 points but the lack of UND offensive plays and short fields for NDSU should be factored in. I know NDSU throttled it down in the 4th quarter but I was not disappointed with our defense. QB, Studsrud did as well or better than any other alternative would have done today. Nobody would expect the UND O line to control the NDSU D line in ideal conditions. The noise was a huge factor in the offenses inability to move the ball. That factor made a tough task next to impossible. The UND scoring drive happened when the Fargo Dome was not making the noise it had earlier and Keaton was able to work from the shotgun and communicate with his team. After that drive the crowd went back to making noise. In my opinion, if this game is played at a neutral site nobody would be embarrassed right now. The 2nd half of the Drake game was much worse.

Did this chart come from somebody within the football administration or is it Miller's best guess? Anybody know for sure? I wouldn't be surprised if some on the 2 deep don't even make the trip to Wyo.

He is 6' and half an inch. I bet my hands on it.

Has anybody else heard that Iverson might be out for the beginning of the season?

My take on the O-line. Meehan at RT. Anderson at LG. Stockwell at LT If he is healed from his hernia by the start of the season. If not then Cox at LT. Everything else is up for grabs. This O-line will not resemble last years. Unfortunately there are some health issues that will effect some would be impact players. Knauf is the real deal, a lot of respect.

I assumed he was out of high school.

Without giving details what did GF Hockey to be suspended? As a relatively new poster to this forum I should know what's off limits.

My kid is but I'd rather have you talk to the strength people. Not to be an ass but 1 of the 3 you listed is clearly the weakest on the team. It seems that some of the posters on this site have some inside knowledge. Is that true or is everybody just doing their best guess? I always have respected Geaux Siouxs input.

Cox isn't setting the bar for the o-line, neither is Francis as somebody mentioned earlier. I think Francis is still on the mend from his knee surgery anyway. On another note, now that we know what happened with Phillip Nelson has anybody changed their mind on how he would fit in at UND? I can see a lot good people doing exactly what he did.

Ferguson definately left to become a cop.

Thought he got homesick and wanted to go home and become a police officer. He is a good kid.

I think Bubba and staff are trying to preserve 4 full seasons for Francis. IMO there will be 3 Freshman that see the field next year. The future looks good.

Sioux Falls is better than St Cloud.

Did Walker play in Mo.? Is he expected to play this weekend?
