And I'm not so grouchy watching games.

Yep exactly, and I still have hope we can win 2 more games this year actually.  Also I'm hoping that if we get a couple of guys back, we can somehow pull off a surprise against EWU......that would really irk them if we beat them this year.

What was the final score?

Heidelbaugh is a classic example of the DIs screwing a kid over for marketing.  

He led Rugby to a state basketball title against a heavily favored Four Winds team.  Shot the ball from all over the floor.  Could have had s solid DII career with a scholarship.

UND needs to convince donors and legislators that ND kids can still play here, so the convince Heidelbaugh to toss his basketball career for a walk on shot.  He's there only for window dressing.  It's bull, and we all know it.

Some of it is on him, or whomever convinced him what UND was selling wad legit.  But UND doesn't go get two more options at QB if they are committed.  They wrecked a kids career.

Bold statement that he would be second string QB to prove ND kids can hack it when one just went #2 overall in the draft.

If you're a relative of his, sounds like it, I would suggest he sucks it up and switches positions because he's a great athlete and can contribute elsewhere. He just can't throw. Esley Thorton from Bismark did this with great success at NDSU. Too bad they ruined his career by bringing in other QBs.

I like to use three unarguable statements when refuting points on message boards.

1) Brad Heidelbaugh is no Carson Wentz, and we all knew that.

2)  Success at 1A Rugby is not success at 3A Century, and we all knew that.

3)  ND kids were drafted before Wentz, and that didn't stop schools from making promises it had no intention of keeping, and we all know that.

And not kin here, either.  Just an observer that loves watching good kids get the shaft when Faith Dooley is the most successful ND athlete playing at UND.

Tell me again how this opportunity is getting the shaft? All I see are excuses from your last two posts. He should move to TE or LB and contribute. Or quit, since his career is ruined apparently.

And I don't see how he got shafted. He's getting a FAR greater shot than his skill set deserves. Nothing negative about that.

He is not a college QB, I think that is evident in his two games this season.  Lets get him to a different position and see if he can be a college football player.

Like Jake Hanson, QB from Grafton. Athletes from ND (and elsewhere) should be brought in to play football not just a position.

Are the coaches making him stay here?  He choose the scholarship and can walk away from it at anytime.  They gave him an opportunity he obviously wanted

kelly and reindeu were a little salty on the postgame abut lack of depth  at qb....

Poor guy. One of the unfortunate schmucks who make up the <1% of the population that are on a D1 football roster.

Good. As they and we should be. Good for them to call it like it is.

I can think of worse things than being on a D1 football team.

Montana exposed our coaches.

As did SD, Montana State, and UC Davis, on both sides of the ball.  The defense has a little bit of an excuse, but the offense not so much.  I am worried what our offense will look like in the hands of someone who doesn't know the difference between heidlebaugh and Zimmerman when we don't have 3 stud RBs

Except Miller said on Twitter just today that the #2 and 3 best QBs on the roster are ineligible until next year (RS and transfer.)

But regarding depth currently eligible, I agree that it's bad. I'm sure that's why they brought in Z. You should know what you have in Brad before this point. He may have earned backup position in Fall camp, but this is real life now.

Just read through the spring ball and fall ball practices posts.  Most everyone that attended a practice and or practices mentioned Zimmerman was the obvious choice for backup....a clear #2. We all noticed that but not the coaches!?!? Wtf!! Complete incompetent leadership on the offensive side.  

And your quote about the rbs....I feel the same, John and Brady have one year left. Their jun yr is wasted.  I feel for Santiago and Brady as they give it their all every play.  Someone on egriz mentioned they thought Santiago had a deflated look in his eyes.  John needs to be put out in the slot and a JJ/ Brady combo at rb. He was recruited and practiced as a wr!    I believe everyone on here has mentioned the Santiago out wide thing.....but Rudy is content on doing the things that haven't worked and keeps sending the 175 lb straight up the middle when the box is stacked.  It's like when he looks at John,  he sees a 6'2" 220 lb.  Montana stacked 9 in the box!!....He sends him up the middle!?!?! 

The offense has been a mess for 3 and half years.  Rudy needs to go !

I haven mentioned this numerous times ....the D was always able to bail out the O in years past ...they are unable to do that this year.. now  Rudys "work" is amplified.

We actually do have a decent 2nd string QB, they just chose not to play him in the first half which is mind boggling. Z should have been getting the reps this week in practice and started.  I feel like they did address the QB situation this past off season by bringing in two transfers and getting Boltmann.  Next year we will have three quality QB's on the roster.   If they would have just started Z today they wouldn't have egg on their face and look incompetent like they do right now for having started Hiedlebaugh.  But they did....so fair game to question them and call them on it.
