Where do the parents sit at the Alerus? Do the parents have a tailgate spot or five? Where?

I don't know. I see them tailgating east of most tailgaters.

Some North Dakota snowbirds in the Phoenix area are heading in different directions to a FB game on Saturday.
UND vs NAU Lumberjacks (Big Sky) in Flagstaff at 1:00
NDSU vs Arizona Wildcats (Pac-12) in Tucson at 8:00

Last season, the Wildcats, which closed as a 27-point favorite against NAU, lost 21-19 to their FCS in-state foe on Saturday night (9-18-21) at Arizona Stadium.

Can snowbirds be snowbirds this early?

Last week they tailgates next to the champions club tent.  Not sure if every game.

I was thinking someone might question snowbirds, and did just about change it. Then taught this was such a minor part of this post that I left it.

The real message in the post is both UND and NDSU are playing in Arizona on Saturday.

UND game at 1 until 4.
Four hours by car is 8.
Eight is kickoff in Tucson. 
Brilliant!

They have been in the same spot since at least Hunter Pinke’s freshman year.  Right behind Champions Club.

Alright 2-2.  Could easily be 0-4.  Glass half full....

Missouri State.  They got beat up by the Jacks....we win.

@Youngstown....ohhh boy I'll say we squeeze one out.....win

Jacks.....loss

Abilene......win

@Indiana State.....Must win

South Dakota....win

@Bizen......loss

Win at home and maybe surprise the Jacks like we did a few years ago?  

Seems like 7-4 is a possibility, but we will have to improve light years on defense to make anything better a reality.

He wants to nod his head up and down "yes".....but he can't.

This team will struggle to win 5 games.  I thought the defense would be jelling and getting better by now . It’s not.  The offense struggled most of the game for a myriad of reasons. 
 

Looking more and more like our 2 wins were against bad teams.  Need to come out firing vs Mo State and get a win or the game in Youngstown will get that much tougher.

Funny thing is next year about this time we will be saying the same things

with the portal some players will believe they need to transfer and we lose a couple good players 

bubba or whoever needs to use the portal and get the ship righted 

[UND Football Fan]

Unless the young linemen grow up fast we will struggle for playoffs. I was hopeful after Nebraska, know I’m unsure. My guess the quicker passes we saw earlier this year was due to that inexperience.

Defense I thought we improved on run fits, still could improve. Secondary needs to play quicker or we need mor me help over top. The long 3rd down reception today, to me exposed how slow are secondary is. The X/Y quicks gashed us also. Mo State may try to emulate that stuff next week. 

Hopefully we can build around our strengths, force some turnovers and get the crowd fired up next week.

I admit it…my hopes are up again!  Great win today!

Need to be no worse than 5-3 by Halloween.

Going 6-2 would be amazing, but can't be worse than 5-3.

Is anyone else tracking Tommy’s incredible surge through the all-time UND record books?

It’s all been just D1 records he’s been setting right? Not saying it’s not impressive.

When you get a moment check out his placement in all time stats (not just DI), and then extrapolate from there. Fun to imagine what’s to come.

I guess I don’t know what the DII records are, but I would assume with a season and a half left, he would be sniffing all-time school records.  Someone have access to the all-time stats?

Go to Fighting Hawks.com and go to Football and find the 2022 Media guide. Scroll down the PDF to the records section. That will give you where he was at at the beginning of the 2022 season in some categories. Then just add on this years stats. 

EDIT: For other categories, you can go to his roster full bio and look at his updated career stats to compare to all time leaders.
