Connor O'Brien finished? ( Concussions).

That sucks for him, not how you want your career to end. I hope he can stick around and still be a part of the team. Wish him nothing, but the best.

I'm going to miss #26 roaming the middle.  Great kid and leader, but after multiple concussions he decided (and rightfully so) his long-term health and well-being is so much more important.  I know he's disappointed he can't go his last year, but he still plans on helping out the team.

That's in part why Oscar and Jake got moved to the middle.  What once was the strength of the D now needs experience

My hope is solid D Line play helps these guys out.

That is good to hear.  He is a great addition to the team purely from a leadership standpoint, besides the fact he was a starter.

Lots of time, I felt he was the best LB on the team last year. Solid guy on every play.

As an LB I suspect it was not the cheap shot or at least not JUST the cheap shot but a lot belts to the head.

I will always remember Connor O'Brien for his goalline stand vs Montana State last season on the 2 point conversion to tie the game.  He essentially won the game with that tackle.

A "Digger-like"play vs ndsu in 2003.

EDITED.

I remember him dropping a billion would-be interceptions . . . but then snagging an impossible one.  Wishing him nothing but the best.

Zimmerman = Spicoli?

i was half expecting him to call the playbook gnarly.

So is it coach Rudy, or is it Bubba = Mr. Hand? 

[UND-FB-FAN]

I hope Zimmerman doesn't have to see the field in 2017, but if he does, it will be key that he is ready to go. 

Like usual, many factors at play in his hopeful success if he does play in 2017 (God forbid). If the offensive line can improve, and with UND's stable of runners (Santiago, Oliveira, Johannesson, Gordon), UND could maybe grind-out a win with Zimmerman not having to air the ball out much.

Linebackers . . . anyone been to any practices?  I'm curious as to how that unit it coming together.  Seems to be a lot of changes and new faces.

Spring practice without Teeder's reports.....is not the same.  Doesn't even seem like spring practice is happening right now.....has been so little chat about it.

Honestly with March Madness and hockey regionals, spring football was low on my list.   Years past you've had hockey regionals but spring practice was the 2nd story line.  That's all there has been to cover and read about.  Maybe get 5 stories in a row in the paper cause that was all that was going on.

Sorry gang.... unless the practices are on Saturdays or Sundays, I'm out of the picture this time of the year. I wish I could be out there, too!

Has anybody heard anything on how the OL is looking?

I'm making the long drive up from Iowa for the Spring game!  Thinking of bringing my golf clubs...any good courses for a bad golfer there?

The Lincoln 9 hole course is reasonably priced, other than trees not many problems.  For more of a challenge,  the kings walk links course.  Fescue roughs are probably not bad yet,  like they'll be when everything is green
