2023 Football Season

I agree that Tommy needs to improve on accuracy with the long ball. I still think part of the problem is if our guy only has a step on him he tends to overshoot the WR to avoid a potential pick.  Need to let the WR make a play on some of those deep balls or get a pass interference.

Awesome, Thanks.  What is significant about the bolded days?

I believe bolded are on grass per UNDFB360

UND discussion starts at 11:25, around 14:50. when asked about Weber getting to host over UND, Patty says that there has never been a time when the higher bidding team didn't host. The host suggests that SU's Larsen did nothing to stop Weber from hosting, just to hurt UND, Patty says "Sometimes you shouldn't confuse conspiracy theories with incompetence".  

I've always thought Matt Larsen is the biggest slime ball you could find.  I heard him on the radio once at halftime, had to listen to the NDSU version of the game because no UND station where I was at the time.   He just comes across as something worse than a used car dealer.   I'm not surprised Patty calls him incompetent.  I'm sure she had other names for him but was too much of lady to use them.

They should have a visitor section.  That where I plan to sit.

Was planning on going to Boise but decided against. Will go to brookings though.

111 is greyed out which it said means unavailable. But that might because it is the Visitors section and have to be bought through UND or something?

I would be very surprised if UND makes it a game against Boise St. Not anything against UND. I just see Boise State play Wyoming alot and Boise State looks like a group of giants comparably. Boise State is the real thing when it comes to football.

This comment says way more about UND being sh*t than it says anything about Boise State. How do you think NDSU or SDSU would fare? Yeah, this comment just sh*ts on UND, even if you don’t realize it; and with the “Not anything against UND” crap. Boise State isn’t a juggernaut by any means, but they are a solid non-Power 5 program, which should also be UND football’s goal. 

Based on how 2021 vs Utah State went, I get the concerns, though.

Gotta finish. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades … and apparently also thermonuclear war. 
 

Also that 2021 4th qtr vs Utah State was atrocious - unwatchable. 4th qtr vs Nebraska also bad. Again, gotta finish, need to be better conditioned and be mentally tougher. Falls on S&C and head coach, IMO.

I like our 2-deep but.....We really need upgrades or someone to step up at Safety and OLB.  We are really thin there.  Maybe Fort, Buckner or Sutton will really surprise.  At OLB, Navratil makes plays but the rest....?  Ag school going down at the Al this year.

I'm feeling ok about the Safety position. Healthy Fort who was a starter, but hurt all year, plus Buckner with a year under his belt and a simplified system. Davis / Sutton with a year more of experience. KK with a lot of experience. You can feel confident they'll be much better than last year. There's no reason to believe they wouldn't be. OLB is really the one positional group that scares me. Need some surprises.

KK and Ball are too slow at reading/reacting and game speed.  KK is a good special teams player. I forgot about Davis.  We seem pretty loaded at corner, maybe someone else can play safety too?

Kk is an absolute liability. All the experience (and leadership, blah, blah) in the world wont make him any faster, if anything, just slower. Putting him on the field simply because he’s been around forever worries me … I hope the coaches can find someone to replace him or we’ll continue to see big plays down the field with #24 trailing in pursuit.

kinda like on the bball side......sather has had 4 years to find a baller better than brady danielson yet he might still get some meaningful minutes this year (self described knockdown shooter per his insta)........bubba has had 4 or more years to find someone better than kk in the secondary and if kk plays meaningful minutes this year watch out.....

beat me to it.

So @Nacho thinks the players from last year’s secondary are apparently top notch. Stats and common sense suggests otherwise.
