SIOUXFAN97 Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 i volunteered at the red pepper at the ralph and they (red peps) aren't allowing customer to control the white sauce......they used to keep it at the counter and you could add as much as you want but now you have to ask "heavy on the white sauce...or light on the white sauce".....chaos!!

CMSioux Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 Prior to the start of the season 6-3 is right where most would have seen this team. FCS game does not count against us and our two losses are "quality losses" in the eyes of the committee. Even if we split, based on Montana hosting a first round last year, UND should be hosting first round. Quote

The blowout win @ Cal Poly (final game of the season) they were firing on all cylinders. Another reason UND should beat USD: Western Illinois and Bob Nielson (USD current head coach) took UND’s playoff spot that season, and it was not justified in the slightest. Quote

AJS Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 Might seem premature, but a week from now, we'll have a good idea who will be walking for Senior day and who will be potentially using their Covid bonus year. The first of many dominos that really impact the following years team. I always look at it as balance of classes are important and you cannot leverage a future class / development by bringing everyone back. Turnover is good / healthy, but you can't have too much. It really is delicate. My hope is that for every bonus Senior that returns, you have a current RS Junior who is more of a depth guy that moves on (hopefully with a degree). Senior for a Senior. Here's who I'm hoping comes back. Beach Belquist Fort* Hembry McNaboe Navratil Schuster* Vaughn I believe Fort could get a medical RS for last year and return if he'd like. Schuster is going to be a really tough decision for the Coaching staff. The question being, who gives you the best chance to win next year (Schuster / Feeney)? I don't think Feeney returns if Schuster comes back. You also have to ask yourself is Kaminski ready to take over as a sophomore. Quote

Expand Predictable? 6-5 or 7-4? Is next Saturday the first playoff game vs ISU? A true play-in game? Quote
