Parkers Pros

We got exposed in the secondary because we were young there, but that's not the only thing. No Harris and don't underestimate the loss of Reyes and the LB's. Cole was the quarterback back there on defense. Not having him back there severely hurt us because of his ability. We were severely undersized in the front seven and we were unable to get sustained pressure on opposing QB's which is why those young Corners got picked on. Tamas Stewart was oft injured and new to the defense. Healthy front seven getting offenses in third and long situations will make those corners look better.

We currently have three decent QB's on the roster. We do need to sign one but we got two last year alone. Reports on Boltman are solid. No panic yet. Losing the kid to SDSU sucks but we are fairly deep there at DLine. We got more length and speed at corner and safety. We got better at o-line and Linebacker and added more depth at WR. And let's hope we don't need many of these kids next year. Cause we have a lot coming back next year. Solid class.

While waiting for football to start today, I threw on the 1st Sioux football game against Utah I had recorded the end of August just to watch awhile to see the difference between the team at the beginning of the year and the one at the end. It was striking. There was a swagger with that team. They were confident. Physical. Made splash plays.

I think our most important position is O-line. JUCO drop down or two to solidify the line would be huge or a great off season is really important. We have three backs that all provide a different dimension to give a defense fits. If we can control the clock by keeping the other teams offense off the field and let the QB settle in and pick apart a defense that's stacking the box to stop those three guys, we could be tough to beat. Injuries aside, I think we have a dangerous team!

Fat fingers. Inside and out I think that we will have a tough team next year. Always liked Studs but he just didn't elevate his game this year. Lots of weapons on offense. I like the upside of the QB's next year, still loaded at RB, TE, WR, but the o-line is the biggest question mark. The young defenders got a lot of experience this year and if we can stay healthy, have a chance to be dangerous

Inside

Anyone else getting a bad feed on the NCHC feed? Really choppy and cuts in and out, blurry.

This game is won in the trenches. We have a lot of skill and speed on offense. But the O-line is a question mark. We need to win some recruiting wars regarding the o-line. They need to keep going after long tall corners. And continue to add competition up the middle at LB. I like where the d-line is. Recruiting war wise, we are at best the 3rd dog at the bowl. NDSU and SDSU are beating us. We need to win some battles.

Any news on recruits that may be visiting?

What happened with Collins?

Score update?

I'm no expert on lineman so I defer to your expertise. The rumblings I heard was he was solid and wasn't playing motivated football and the benching was a wake up call. Seems now there is no waking up what was ailing that kid. Too bad.

The offense should be alright. Two more years with this crop of RB/WR. If Cloyd continues to develop plus the guy from Montana next year is as good as advertised we could be set at TE. It's the O/Line that is where UND has to improve. We could use an FCS drop down or two. I don't see Taylor coming back. When healthy he was arguably our best lineman. We have three Junior QB's. Plus it sounds like our freshman QB looks pretty impressive so we should be good.

Very entertaining game. Look this year may not be what we wanted but for a ton of the game, there were anywhere from 7 to 10 players on defense that were sophomores or younger. And they were balling out. This game actually reinvigorated me. Not for this year, but for the future.

Can we watch the game online?

I did not have a program but noticed a #93 at fullback today in the second half.. Who was that? Ray Hass is a beast. Was nice to see Izzy get some touches. Concerning about the MLB position. Good win today.

I think trying to make things better is good. I think helping out the programs we love is good. I think enhancing player safety as a program priority will only help us. But the program needs more to be elite. Walk around memorial stadium and especially in the corners where they hope fans and recruits don't notice, look at the shape of the infrastructure. The shape of the track, the equipment. I still don't know if the HPC is done yet. If it's not, that needs to be funded as well. Keep on this topic. It needs to remain relevant.

Anyone know anything about the new recruit out of Co? Projected position? Back ground?

Everyone is so quick to elevate Zimmerman. We don't know what we have in the other 2 yet. Heidlebaugh is an athletic beast that may just need some real live fire time to get the confidence he needs. He could play in a lot of different positions but they are keeping him at QB. Staff must see something. Will be an interesting Spring game. I hope any of those 3 young guys seizes the #2 spot and is ready to roll.

Today really really sucks! We lost a senior captain in football, 3 entire sports, and Jost in a day, today is not so fun!!

Any new updates on the football team?

You trying to "gas light" us??

Any ideas how close the staff is to rounding out this year's class? Should we expect any surprises?

Boeser appears to be at about 50% right right now. I think he's beat up? Not skating well and not generating much. Shot doesn't look right. Hope he can heal up and soon!

Didn't hurt to get some of the AFB talent as well. Not as much of that right now!
