Parkers Pros

He is the perfect size for OLB if he stays there size wise and can run.

They are good. They clogged the middle and obviously watched the Omaha games a few times cause that 3rd period gave me Omaha flashbacks. No open ice, clogging up the middle, beat us to every puck, played our game back at us and we can’t / didn’t handle it well.

Feel like we are too soft. Nobody on offense showed up but Johannes, Gabe’s, 1.5 periods, Blake, wish we had Johannes another year. Kunz a little at the end. Nothing from Anyone else. We are not hungry enough. In general, I thought most of our d-men played ok. Person unfortunately will be hating himself for his skate own goal but thought that was his best game of the year. Our young D held up pretty well considering. We need to find somebody who can win a face off. Is Berry on the hot seat?

Too bad if true but can’t really blame him..

I am worried about her. She was not making a very good impression at the Summit game from a spectator perspective. She really needs to figure her world out fast cause this kind of dramatic fall can be detrimental to a program for years..

I think BJ is a great talent. But he got worked hard by Fidler. I think another year of development would be great for him...

Is Tyree done? Anyone know his eligibility status? Just don’t remember. Lose Tsotne, Brady, Tyree? Cupboard not bare if you get BJ back. With Treysen, Amar, Eli….

Feels like they have more to play for and they do.

Anyone heard any news?? Crickets coming out of Football?

Any updates on Spring Ball?

So, are there any stories or interviews about Duncan anywhere??

100% correct. Nose Tackle is the tip of the spear. The more offensive lineman the 3 down lineman occupy, the more plays the linebackers make!

This might date me but I remember well when Matt Frattin was a younger player like DJ and I see some parallels between their trajectories. Obviously this was prior to Frattin getting kicked off the team. Frattin was creating a ton of opportunities for himself, he was faster to the puck than most and the more his confidence grew the more opportunities there were. He just couldn’t put the puck in the net consistently. He missed more open nets, and hit more posts than anyone. In our little Monday morning quarterback, discussion group back then, we talked about how close he was and if he could just start hitting some of those corners and slowed the game down one more millisecond and started potting some of those misses, oh boy what would he become. I’m very excited about DJ. Because I think he could be better. He has intangibles that could make him very special. Maybe not today, but fingers crossed.

As fun an atmosphere as we’ve had in a while! The energy was high in the building. Seemed like the players felt it too. Fun game!

What happened?

Worked for me...

Stuff to do cause there isn't much to do in Brookings besides SDSU stuff and Nicks burgers, maybe hunting and fishing. Families being able to fly into somewhere easily so they can see their kids and no direct flights into Brookings, this is a huge deal for families. SF is over 200,000 people. Brookings about 20,000. Both SDSU and USD use SF as a recruiting tool...

Meant Sioux Falls is less than an hr away from Brookings and they are a metro compared to GF...

SDSU is the playbook for FCS teams where football isn’t king. SDSU is, until the last 10 years or so, been a basketball centric university like UND is hockey. They did all the right moves. Left D2 when SU left. Secured funds from donors and fund raised for probably the nicest overall facilities in the Missouri Valley. They slowly and methodically got better, and better, continuing to add resources in strength and conditioning, nutrition, better position coaches. We didn’t move. Our facilities are getting better to be sure and like where they are going, but we are 10-15 years behind. Geographically they are in a better place for families to come and watch their kids. Recruiting wise it’s close enough to a big town for kids to get on board with wanting to go to Brookings. You got a really want to want to play in Grand Forks. For us to win the way everyone wants us to win, we have to hands-down have the best of everything. And I don’t think the university, nor even the people on this board are willing to pony up and invest to do what it would take IMO. I think UND football will always have one hand behind its back unless the university and fan base/donors truly commit. And I think that’s why Danny left. He might be the only one truly playing chess.

You can tell by the tone of Bubbas response to the news he is pi$$&d about it. No thanking Danny or wishing him well. Why am I feeling like this isn’t necessarily the worst thing I mean our offense wasn’t exactly lighting it up for much of the season. And I couldn’t tell if that was the quarterback or the OC. But we didn’t push the ball downfield. If we make a good hire, this could be alright for us, again, if we get the right guy.

We look better. If we carry this through we have a shot here.

Good Grief..

Could someone post the score? By the comments it’s too few to too many but just curious.

No silver linings here, with exception to the fact that at least he didn’t dump us for another FCS program…

All the guys on the Blake line were flat tonight. They were great last night. They were horrible tonight. Blake on the ice there at the end as well.
