Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Will Bowenkamp play? Will anyone show up for this game? Attendence sucked at the Ferris State game, was good last week for homecoming. I will be there! Quote
SiouxFan48 Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I heard from a player that Bowenkamp will be playing....but who knows.........hopefully he is cause it would be a good game to work out the rust Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 I have also heard that he will be playing, but not to what degree. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I have also heard that he will be playing, but not to what degree. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What do you guys mean?? He's played in every game....holder....duh... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 What do you guys mean?? He's played in every game....holder....duh... Isn't that like being in a rock band and playing the cowbell? Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 You are right, the holder is a very important job, sorry John. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 In all seriousness, I do wish Bowenkamp would be kept busier in that role. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 If he gets back into the swing of things as QB, I think he will be busier as a holder. Quote
RD17 Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Lennon said tonight on the radio that Manke will be starting on Saturday because Belmore is banged up a little bit (but available if necessary). He also said that Bowenkamp took some reps in practice this week and might possibly play, so that is definitely encouraging. My gut feeling is that they will keep Bowenkamp under wraps this week and hopefully have him ready to go at Omaha next week. Quote

I'd hope he get some reps before being thrust into a big game with UNO. Quote
RD17 Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Are you thinking that he'd start against Omaha? I'd hope he get some reps before being thrust into a big game with UNO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't have any inside information, I'm just purely speculating. I would be completely comfortable with Bowenkamp starting at UNO, even if he went into the game cold. He has a tremendous grasp of the offense and would by far give UND the best chance to win down there. Nothing against Belmore or Manke, it's just that Bowenkamp has been in almost every conceivable situation before and at this point in his career, I don't think it will take much to shake off the rust.

Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 21, 2004 Author Posted October 21, 2004 If Bowenkamp is healthy, put him in for "mop up time" as they call it if the sioux have a big lead, give him a few plays and get the rust off. Quote
RD17 Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 After thinking more about it, I actually think it's better for UND if Bowenkamp doesn't play at all this week because UNO won't have any idea about which QB they need to prepare for. The UNO coaches have to be aware of the nature of Bowenkamp's injury, so if he does play some QB against Mankato, it would signal that he would almost certainly be starting the following week. It's tough to gameplan on defense when you don't know which of the three quarterback's weaknesses you need to exploit. Quote
SiouxFan4Life Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 I think Reed is starting...And wont be looking back. What better game to build your confidence than mankato...And get ready to hit the road. Bowenkamp should just rest and get ready for the playoffs..And we evaluate from there. But Manke...Manke this is what you have been waiting for... Quote
Nucleus Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 It's about time Manke gets a legitimate chance to run a game from start to finish. All he has done up to this point in his UND career is the equlivalent of "mop up" work that a relief pitcher would do in baseball. If you wanna know what I think about Manke, refer to the Bowenkamp thread on here and go down and read what I have to say. If anyone has any comments or questions on that, post it and we can hopefully have a nice debate or agreeance. (Hopefully no Bison fans would get in on it, because it would be nice to have an intelligence conversation, rather than talk with a rock) Quote
