the dates need to be corrected for the Wash, Sam Houston, Idaho St and N Colo games.  They are all listed as Sunday.

First game of the year usually is on Thursday, or seems like it has been the last several years.  I think that weekend is Labor Day weekend so a lot of people may not be around on the weekend.

Also on the undsports site: Thursday, Aug 30

No spring game: confirmed. 

Not a huge deal in the overall scheme of things. Most important factor is on-the-field success (aka wins). Until UND can beat NDSU, they will remain second fiddle in the region.  Has nothing to do with #1 team in country status, but rather #1 team in region. Just so happens that #1 team in region is also #1 in country. 

Was hoping 2017 was going to be the year. Of course, under such high expectations, UND choked big time instead. 

I know, it's not the end of the world, but I always liked the spring game to build excitement for the upcoming season, but I know what you are saying about playing second fiddle.   We can't even get the spring game televised and NDSU does.    A lot of it comes down to marketing

Last I heard is Midco is planning to broadcast the spring scrimmage

That's certainly a plus.

The spring game should be more of an event. It's a glorified practice right now.

Will Bubba take the necessary steps to clean up the culture of the team?  Or will he just wait another year or two for graduations....or at least for eligibilities to run out..... to take care of the problem?

It appeared that the player issues came mainly from kids that were recruited under Bubba's regime.  I'm assuming more of the same issues unless "we want quality kids" is acted upon instead of just being a nice little saying.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Why disregard the extra opportunity to excite fans in the Alerus Center? Trial run for new, exciting in-game production for the fall? 

Instead, entire opportunity is being overlooked. Poor marketing.

'What’s going on?  If you go to the Site that has the Roster,Coaches, Stats etc the Schedule is there and all dates are correct on Sat except opening game on Thursday. I tried to Copy or get the Link but it didn’t work

The games are sat.   But the Spring Football prospectus dates were Sunday for those 4 games.  Just an error.  I was wondering if anyone else noticed.

Defensive spring ball preview.

[ND1]

I am hearing there is a chance our game with  Sam Houston game gets moved to the FCS kick off game that ESPN televises.  In August . This would be big!! 

[shep]

WOW. Does ESPN know it's THIS North Dakota team and not THAT North Dakota team??

[geaux_sioux]

Loads of great info here. Lots of weight updates as well. Tank has put on over 30 lbs but still isn’t over 300..... he was around 265 to end last season....

Wow, I remember Tank looking thin last year but 265 is crazy!

[shep]

Tank now 299. I like that. 

Blair only 253 ("skinny tight end" )Jenkins 303. Bennett up to 250, Seguin 267. 

DB's: Blubaugh up to 193, Canady, 205, Shannon 195

Like Hayden Reynolds as LB. RSF

Each QB could start. Ketteringham with inside track. Boltman best athlete. 

Big year for Rudy to adapt and evolve. Certain that they will have SCREEN PASSES this year. Want to see Big 3 on the field together.

If Big 3 aren't on field many times together, this board will be calling for a few heads.
