UNDColorado Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Mussman seems to not abuse twitter so when he speaks using that medium it must be something important and the suspense is killing me (that and being bored in the office on a Monday). I am hoping for the IPF announcement but not holding my breath either. Quote
Kindred10 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 What is Coach Mussman's Twitter Name that this tweet came from? I only found @UNDMuss, and it is a private account so he has to accept my request... Has he posted anything since? Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Its not the practice facility. That wont be finished for 3-5 years. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Someone close to the situation who knows someting's best guess Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 There is some speculation in the comments section of the most recent blog entry at SFI that Mussman's tweet may be related to a locker room/meeting room renovation at Memorial Stadium. Quote
Risky Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 If it is the remodeling of the locker rooms at Memorial Stadium it must mean that the Indoor practice facility is way on the back burner. The reason I say that is I thought new offices and locker rooms were going to be in the new practice facility. Am I wrong on that? I am sure they wouldn't put money into Memorial Stadium if the big project was close to happening. Quote

Memorial in the mean time needs a face lift and is getting it. Quote

iramurphy Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Not sure what the announcement will be. Kelly promised some of the FB recruits we would be breaking ground on the practice facility this year. Altru is supposedly finalizing some sort of donation but I don't know what it is for. That is long past due and in my opinion anything less than $10,000,000 isn't enough. They apparently raised enough fuss to convince Kelly and Wynne to decline the $10,000,000 Sanford donation which would have gotten phase started. Quote
homer Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Spring prospectus/roster: https://www.nmnathle...DB_OEM_ID=13500 I'm excited spring ball is here. After looking at the roster and depth chart a couple thoughts: - this year its important to get a couple of the 2's to step up on the d-line. we lose some good seniors there and its an important position. - the o-line is set for the next few years. The coaches have done a great job building depth there and its no wonder we only brought in 1. Looking at that depth chart and it seems there are about 8 or 9 with starting experience. - safety will be a question mark this year. Wide open competition. - I'm really liking our skill guys on offense. A lot of talent and a lot of youth. - No listing for Belmore's replacement. Luke is listed as the WR coach which I'm sure has WR's and TE's. Quote
jdub27 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Spring prospectus/roster: https://www.nmnathle...DB_OEM_ID=13500 After a quick glance through, the names that seem to be missing that were on last year roster are Javen Butler (DB), Payton DeCoteau (RB), Derrick Dulaney (LB) and Ekenna Anya-Gafu (DL). All four were either Freshman or Red-Shirt Freshman last year. I believe that is was known a while ago one or two of these players were not going to be back, not sure if anyone has any more info than that. Quote
UND Fan Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I would guess DeCoteau realized he wouldn't a great deal of playing time. I hadn't heard anything about Dulaney and, as you noted, we knew Butler and Anya-Gafu weren't going to be with the team. Some newcomers that I wasn't aware of: Jordan Christianson, a punter from Hurst, TX Jay Daggett, a WR from Naples, FL William James, a DB from Sweden (interesting!) Bobby Gutierrez, a PK from Gainesville, TX (he is listed as a freshman but he apparently was at Northland CC) Pat Brown, a WR from North Pole, Alaska (also interesting!) T.J. Draeger, WR from Fargo North Marcus Laverdure, DL from Belcourt Some of these guys are listed as redshirt freshmen so I don't know if they just showed up on campus between semesters are if they were with the team last fall but not on the roster. Some notable changes in size (wt) from last year's fall roster: WR Ivery +13 to 169 (added weight/strength some help) RB Garman + 7 to 177 (same as above) TE Nichols +20 to 245 (he is now TE size - I expect him to have a good year) DL Jay Nelson -13 to 245 (hopefully, a better playing weight for him) LB Bennett +16 to 234 OL Hellman +42 to 302 (the Red River product must have been busy pumping weight and eating) OL Meehan +16 to 306 OL Gillson +27 to 342 DL Henson +12 to 298 OL Windfeldt -14 to 296 OL Hoplin +20 to 265 (another RR product gaining some serious size) OL Deneui +11 to 304 WR Jackson +23 to 233 (he should be tough to bring down) WR Young +13 to 198 DL Cummings +29 to 283 TE Adler +22 to 237 DL Woodsmill +19 to 234 DL Brenneman +12 to 266 Quote

Luke is listed as the WR coach which I'm sure has WR's and TE's. It's interesting to me that out of the DB positions, a RFR is listed as a backup to three of the four positions. Additionally, I see Dwayne Brown is not going to compete in Spring due to injuries. My understanding is that he was close to having his RS pulled last year, so I wonder if he'll at least backup (or maybe even start over) Mackey when the year gets going. Looking at the depth chart, it looks like we do have some pretty good talent, with the main question marks being QB and DB. If we can get solid play in both of these positions, UND may make some noise this year. I have heard from a former UND QB that Hansen sounds like the real deal, so maybe the QB position will be a strength this year. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Its the start of the Memorial Stadium upgrade. We just need the 25,000 seats!!! and 15,000 people who never go to the games to start going regularly.... Quote

He played 2 years at Northland, but his last season was 2010-2011 season so not sure why he wouldn't have walked on in the fall. I really wasn't to impressed with him, we often had to go for 2 pt conversions and only kicked 2 or 3 field goals all inside of 30 yards because he wasn't very consistent. I would say maybe he would be a kickoff guy only because he had a decent leg, but then again during one of the games later in the season we had to have someone else attempt an onside kick late in the game because he said he was too cold.

MoSiouxFan Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 It's exciting to see what we have returning/coming up at the skill positions, potentially including the quarterback position. But what really excites me is the experience and depth that we have returning in the offensive line, which should enable the players at the skill positions to effectively do their thing. We could potentially have a fairly high-scoring, if not explosive, offense this season, which, in turn, could keep our defense off the field much more than last season. Quote
jdub27 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Jay Daggett, a WR from Naples, FL --> I would guess a relative of graduated WR Drew Daggett (cousin most likely) Pat Brown, a WR from North Pole, Alaska Article about walking on (ran a 4.5 40 in his tryout) High School Highlights Quote
