Mama Sue Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 18 minutes ago, Teeder11 said: Wait, wait … you truly believe you shitting on everything UND and pumping up everyone else on a college message board is a difference maker? You’re an anonymous poster stating the obvious 98 percent of the time. It’s like the blow hard on talk radio who’s got all the answers to society’s ills. Practical listeners with perspective know that, if Mr. Blow hard magically would be put in charge of the world, the tune would change as reality would set in and the realization of the task at hand would suddenly become evident. Success for Mr. Blow hard would be neither inevitable nor impossible. What would be inevitable, however, would be the respect he would gain for the grind, the challenges, and the process. I’ve felt like i’ve said this 116 times before but here goes —we all pretty much feel the same way as you, we just amplify our hopes and frustrations differently. For me, i praise in public and criticize in private to the people who are involved. But i’m not an asshole to them. You do you. But it’s never as bad or as good as we think. You and a couple other tough love warriors on here come off a bit thin skinned in the face of the no-nonsense, no-excuses personas you put out there. There are posters on here who I have the utmost respect for, such as Geaux Sioux, Ira, Shep and Sic, who many times will say thing that are very biting criticisms of UND, but they balance things out from time to time with other kinds of hot takes that make me want to come back for more and excited to be a UND fanatic! That makes things fun and interesting and more believable, as it doesn’t come off as a bit or a schtick. Again, things are never as bad or good as we think. Go Hawks! Go UND! I agree and respect the posters listed…. Thanks for your leadership and knowledge. Like 23 weeks until kick off? Go UND. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close, but it’s more accurate than the rumors and assumptions posted. You would probably get a chubby trying to find ways to create controversy and blame this on someone. Most readers are smart enough to figure out what I said and move on. Obviously not everyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not proposing my comments make a difference at all. Just providing my opinion as I see it. If folks on this message board want to be make a difference they need to donate large sums of cash to UND football. Bottom line with all this coach turnover and 0.500 football is inadequate funding. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly half of portal entrants do not find new "homes". There have to be a couple missed gems in that fraction. Portal helps the most in the fall/winter. By this summer, the portal will be dry. That’s my point. Those gems you speak of aren’t likely to be found by UND. UND S&C is going to actually have to do their job and develop what they’ve got to work with. The ol’ portal will come in handy again for UND come fall/winter 2023. Hopefully the transfer players they got on roster this spring from UNM, NIU, USD, etc will work out for UND this fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basketball threads have been unbearable.

Popular Post MadScout03 Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 I was at practice Friday morning. It was good to see some football again! Nice to see Skokna out there making plays. I’m hoping he can stay healthy. I’ve missed his shifty style. Isaiah Smith looked like he was shot out of a cannon at times. Couple nice breaks and the burners were on. I like the idea of Red Wilson at RB, but if Skokna is back and they can land the bowling ball of a RB transfer they had at practice, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him back at WR. The transfer recruit looked stacked. Was good to see Tom Dosch out there running around. He didn’t go unnoticed, and not in a bad or distracting way. I really like that addition to the staff. The DBs had a good day with some nice takeaways. A couple straight up picks and one that was ripped away from the WR. Devin Hembry had a nice day with at least one pick. Seemed to be in good position a number of times. Quincy looked the part, so far, at TE. I hope he gets worked into a number of different plays. His versatility could be huge if used the right way. Tommy had a zip and direction on the ball the other QBs simply didn’t. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mentioned how Colton Hackel looked. Moved well, threw some nice passes. Good to see that from the guy 5th on the depth chart. That’s all for now! 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
