Stats and common sense are often mocked and ridiculed by some people on this forum. They are not worth arguing with.

There’s always a player or two that surprises in fall camp, who does everyone think that will be? I’m going to go with Nick Kupfer, although maybe some could argue that occurred last year. I think he could really transform more into a Noah Wanzek this year. Otherwise, I think we will see Sawyer Seidl make some flashy plays.

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. 

And Buckner gets a year with Baukol to develop. Should be telling.

Boltmann 2.0?

I think we could have some trick plays with him, but he will end up being a better overall receiver than Boltmann, IMO.

Tickets go on sale today for SDSU game. Wondering if anyone is going and what section to get tickets? Don't really know where the visitor section is?

Planning on attending both Boise and Brookings. Both in September so fun road-trips with good weather. Hope to see two major upsets from the Hawks…….

One seat, rows 10 to 15 at the 50 yard line keeps me happy. Have not been to a Jack Rabbit game in a while…

I'm going to go with McNeal and Teiken on defense and Ziebarth and Gunderson on offense.  I really like Kupfer too.

Nope, not my take at all, just gave a down vote because I don't like posters belittling current players, go ahead and spin that however you like.

So if a current player is not very good, we are supposed to pretend otherwise and keep our mouths shut? This isn't high school athletics, even if some of our followers treat it as such.

So your feelings are hurt because I (and others) might have mentioned a player and hurt their feelings? 
 

Man, talk about soft. Pretty sure 18+ year old men who are eligible to join the armed services can take a little criticism regarding the sport of football …

I am pretty sure the players aren't soft at all. Just the ducky and bunny crowd on SS.com.

It's a down vote, you've had more than most, one would think it wouldn't get you so butthurt!

Really excited to see what the DL can do with the addition of Griffen Jr. and Saltonstall. Hope the DL can make it easier on the LBs and DBs. I’m a lot more confident in the DBs than the LBs right now. Also, hopefully someone steps up at center and gets good snaps down out of the gun, and someone develops into a good receiving TE threat. Excited for the season!

Doesn’t hurt my feelings at all, just expressing how out in left field your reasoning was/is.

To be honest, I wear downvotes as a badge of honor. Telling inconvenient truths that some people won't like is a messy but necessary task. A task I am happy to take on.

I think we should be civil in evaluating players. Personally, I try not to attack. Call me out if I do.

Pointing out that a player is not very good is not "uncivil". It's just an observation.
