Listening right now. The way they’re talking really makes it seem like Boltmann will likely be able to stick at WR and probably not make the return back to QB. I’m excited to see him play. 

360 guys said something about him doing both since UND needs to make sure he can run the offense just in case of major injuries

Great podcast.  I agree with Alex that 7 wins is an achievable goal for this season.  Would love for it to be more than 7, especially if one is against you know who.  Excited to see it on the field.

Yeah I believe he is still going to take reps at QB but the way Tom talked it just made it seem he could really make an impact at WR and may stick.

He looked pretty good in the spring thing. I assume he’ll only get faster over the summer.

If the offense was the huge problem most of us felt it was last fall, 7 wins is on the low side.  Lots of potential upside.

7-4 should get UND into the playoffs.

Benchmark for UND football should ALWAYS be playoffs or bust, in my opinion.

7-4 would 99% get us into the playoffs with the schedule we have in 2019.   The 1% is if all the top teams we are scheduled to play crap the bed all year unexpectedly.  Heck if we beat NAU at the end of the year last year it sounds like the committee was going to put us in at 7-4, and our schedule wasn't that tough last year. 

And yes absolutely every year we should be expecting to make the playoffs going forward.

Today is a good day. Season tickets went on sale this morning and I pulled the trigger on two seats in section 215. I will make it up there for Sam Houston and Montana Sate for sure. Can't wait!

Just renewed myself

section 215

will miss two of the first three games

That boy strong

 

[Sioux94]

We face two of the top  FCS 10 QB's to watch in the first half of our season.  That string of four games after Drake is tough.  Wait....I'll call it brutal, since we will be moving to the MVFC I want to use their proper terminology for discussing their strength of schedules.

I like this. The combination of him, JJ, Weah and hopefully London could be pretty good! Hopefully the more balanced offense will be an asset to the running game because if executed properly, defenses will no longer be able to stack the box.

Dom Izzo tweeted about it. Surprised I haven't seen anything from Miller or UNDFOOTBALL360 yet. Academics. Future with the team in unknown.

I had heard when he was being recruited that there were too many red flags with him academically and NDSU wasn't interested because of it.

[SiouxFan100]

If it’s not one thing it’s another 

there is an article in the forum about this

[UND Fan]

GRAND FORKS - University of North Dakota freshman running back Otis Weah is off of the football team and his return to the roster is unknown.

The former Moorhead Spud has been ruled academically ineligible according to two sources with direct knowledge of the situation. Weah's status at the university is in doubt because of his academic standing.

Weah had a tremendous spring for the Fighting Hawks and was being looked at as a potential feature back for UND for this upcoming season.. He played in four games in 2018, carrying the ball five times for 28 yards and scoring one touchdown. The four games was the maximum for a player to play in to maintain a redshirt and have four years of eligibility.

An opportunity for another player to come in and contribute

I have no idea if it is true. Just wondering if anyone with inside info knew? It seems odd that Izzo would break this story and since it has been several hours Ihought Tom Miller or the 360 guys would have confirmed by now. I don't think Izzo would have gone public with it if it wasn't true, but you never know.
