Oxbow6 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I've been told that Mathieu has already contacted NDSU about playing there this season. I really don't know if Bohl will want him, though. Yes he's an elite player, but Bohl HATES players with off-field issues and he's not a big fan of FBS transfer players. Then again, think of the publicity the school would get if he went there. I wish UND was more established in FCS. That would be a sweet pick up Over the past 2+ years I have gotten to know Bohl alittle bit. He is a quality guy and has a focus/mindset for running that FB program the right way...which he seem to be doing. He is a big believer of accountablitiy and team above all else. He isn't a Rocky Hager type!! If the above info is even somewhat factual, I don't see the "Badger" wearing the green and gold in any scenerio with Bohl as head coach. Plus a kid like that isn't going to leave Bourbon St. for Broadway in Fargo!!! Quote
bincitysioux Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 You would give up the chance at grabbing a player for one year that would give UND a shot at winning the Big Sky and possibly a national championship just because he has proven history of using illegal drugs? Fixed your post. And to answer your question, yes. 1 Quote
GeauxSioux Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Defense definitely had the upper hand in todays scrimmage. From UND Football... Offense scored one TD (Braden Hanson 15-yd pass to Jameer Jackson) and added two FGs ... Defense kept the O off the board on 9 of 12 drives. Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Fixed your post. And to answer your question, yes. I take it you wouldn't want him playing for your favorite NFL team either? Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I take it you wouldn't want him playing for your favorite NFL team either? The NFL has pretty strict drug testing procedures. This kid wouldn't last long if he kept smoking weed. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 sooooo.... anyone watch the scrimmage? you know, something that actually pertains to an early look at the 2012 season 2 Quote

jodcon Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I take it you wouldn't want him playing for your favorite NFL team either? Sacrificing character for talent works out about 1 of every 10 times, there's a reason these "great talents" haven't been signed by the teams their talent suggests they should, they are smart enough to know that there is a 90% chance that they will either fall back into their old ways or come up with some new lawbreaking activity. And there's a good chance they will either drag down other teammates with them or worse yet do something that will bring the University under scrutiny. And it doesn't get better in the NFL (Pacman Jones, Albert Haynesworth, TO, Moss, etc...). Staying away from these kind of guys is always the right move, for every guy like Frattin who saw the light when they got cut loose there are 10 who will never "get it" and change. That is all, back to football. Quote
homer Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 On the highlights from the scrimmage today it looked like there was pretty good crown in attendance. Anyone who posts here in attendance to give us a recap? Sounds like three Juco guys looked good today in Kennedy, Goard and Welch. Quote
Wilbur Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 So wherever he goes, the kid from LSU probably plays through the end of the year, and then preps himself for the NFL draft by leaving the school at semester time. Doesn't go to class, becomes a celebrity on campus for all the wrong reasons, and gets followed by ESPN the entire year for his accomplishments because he should dominate a lower level. He's a great talent, would make any team better, but I'm more concerned with the integrity of UND football at this point in time than wins and losses. The honey badger is no Matt Frattin....guaranteed. Quote
spookie Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Homer or Wilbur, How is Jer Garman doing so far this fall? I haven't seen or heard anything about him. Perhaps I missed something. One of Muss's most sought after recruits since he has been head coach. Just wondering. A Jer fan as you probably guessed. Thanks for any info you might have. Spookie Quote

Spookie I haven't heard a ton about him this spring, and I'm probably not the best one to ask. IMHO the coaches made a HUGE mistake not redshirting Jer last season. He was underutilized, and didn't see as much of the field as he should of for playing as a true Freshman. They have him listed as a running back, but with the stable of guys at running back UND has you would think he'd be used in the slot kind of like how they used Weston Dressler, or how NDSU uses Ryan Smith. I thought for sure he would see more time on specialty teams in the return game, but that really didn't happen either. Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Jer Garman has been taking reps with Jake Miller, Sutton, P.J. Sparks, etc., but his carries are mostly 2-3 yards and a cloud of dust. He has a difficult time breaking through the middle or getting around the ends. Where he's been most effective in practice has been, as was said, in a slot receiver role. He's also been putting in a ton of time on special teams as a punt return guy, if I recall correctly. I said a few days ago that he looks like he bulked up a bit compared with last year, and he has not lost any speed. Quote

Spookie He needs to get faster and especially get better vision and anticipation as a runner. He's still young. Remember Miller came into last season as a backup and didn't have a spectacular freshman season. Give Jer some time. Quote
spookie Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 geaux_sioux, Wilbur, Teeder11, Thanks guys for the input. since you are more intuned to what is going on up there. I would appreciate any future updates that you might have regarding Jer. I do agree he could have been used more effectively last year. I think there was too much hypeby both coaches and media. The kid has a lot of talent and upside that hasn't been seen or used. I do know the coaches said he an oustanding spring, and would be hard to keep off the field this fall. He did bulk up. We will see how it all plays out. Go Sioux! Thanks again. Spookie Quote

dakotadan Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 On the 8th the athletic department tweeted "Big Day at the @UNDTix Office for @UNDFootball Season Ticket sales and it's only 2:30" Has anyone heard where we are sitting with those? Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Go Sioux! Thanks again. Spookie Well Spookie said Go Sioux! Can't get mad if anyone, including the Fargodome this december for the basketball game get a Sioux Suck **** chant going. You can blame him for this. Quote
