when special teams normally cost you 2-3 games and 1 game is normally blown by questionable "coaching calls"...sounds about right til proven otherwise........

I don’t we are that bad as a team but we need to prove we can top team again before we get ranked higher. 
 

bulletin board material.

honestly our all MVFC picks in the second round is a slap too. We have some top talent in the league so we will have to show it this year.

Not sure where to put this but I don't have cable TV so is it possible to stream the football games this season?  I have ESPN+ but am not sure if they will carry any of UND's games.

Other than the Nebraska game I believe all will be on ESPN +   Nebraska game shows Big10 Network.  I'm sure it will be able to be streamed somewhere.

I'm sure ESPN+ will carry games like last year.  Midco streaming will probably carry games as well.

[Kab]

On UND football schedule if you hit the + button on the right it shows every game is on ESPN+ except Nebraska, on big 10 network

There it is!!  thanks everyone for point out where to find it.  I had looked at that section and still missed it.  I must be getting old...

It is about right for what happened last year.

Every team ahead of us beat us last year except for Northern Iowa who we didn't play.  And Northern Iowa.....is Northern Iowa, they are going to get the benefit of the doubt.  As much as I'm hoping we can be done being the underdog/spoiler.....that is the mindset we need to take this year...at least at the beginning of the year.  Looking for wins at a minumum this year against UNI, Missouri State, and USD as we have them at home.  Hopefully another upset in there somewhere. 

To your point though, I think we will finish better than 7th this year too so in that regard I think we are too low.  But we all have Kelly Green glasses, all of the other teams other than NDSU likely have expectations to finish higher than their ranking.

New 2022 UND football roster is out. 3 quick takeaways:

1) No DL Pierre or OL Fenton. Would've been nice depth in '22

2) Young NoDak Jack Ihry is back and switching sides of the ball.

3) Starting center Danny Carroll went from 265 to 285. Most important weight gain came thru

We are probably ranked appropriately given what we did last year but have much greater potential.  It's probably going to come down to coaching.  Bubba needs to up his game management greatly.  Given that last year was his 12th as head coach and probably the worst game decisions of the 12 I am hopeful but not counting on it.  He doesn't seem to have an introspective bone in his body.  4th downs aside we were bitten in the butt by special teams and general disorganization.  The other coaching factor is strength and conditioning.  I hope we are over the great "we need leaner linemen" experiment.  We have some talent but they need to be put in a position to win.  I am not close to the program but I really hope someone had some conversations with Bubba in the off season.  No reason why we can't make a serious run this season.

Initial Depth Chart thoughts. Offensive Line.

• Offensive Line.
  • Kilty is staying at Right Guard (He was listed as Left Tackle on Spring Ball depth chart)
  • One returning starter at the position they started last year
  • Three new starters
  • Very young O-Line
  • Christian / Lavell who "co-starters" throughout last Fall at Guard overtaken by transfer Bryant (Great sign)
  • Carroll Up to 285 which is a little light, but no worries
  • Lotysz not listed as injured

I'm excited. The two biggest things I was keeping my eye on was (1) Could Carroll get up to 285 (2) Could a Transfer start over a returner. What's exciting is this is kind of a foundation year. If they can improve from last year and be solid, next year this unit will be really good.

Good take.  I feel like we have been saying that at OL for years.   Could Oliphant take over the other guard spot and move Kilty out to tackle?  
 

My other thoughts:

Jaelen Johnson is an All Conference or better talent.  I think he along with Sammy Fort or my picks for who steps up their game on D this year.  
 

Even with the losses at CB our secondary has a chance to be really good this season.

I see Creighton Mitchell is out, not really surprising, but do we expect him back this year?

[The Sicatoka]

Here's hoping to see fourth quarters with an all Romfo backfield munching up time of possession.
