Not going to be for all.  We have new green helmets as well with white facemasks that the players have been wearing during practice. 

I think the helmets are the same just changed facemasks.

I like the silver helmets better with current colors instead of retro colors

No matter the outfits put the player’s name on the back.

I think we already have proven we belong in the mvfc. 

I guess we have proven we are one of the top teams in the MVFC but we still have a ways to go to gain respect from the rest of the FCS and their voters. No reason so many Big Sky teams should be ranked above UND and SEMO…… SEMO??? Are you kidding me?

I agree.   We have to do better than 7-4.

What if we finish 7-4 and one of the wins is over Boise, NDSU or SDSU. AND this team is good enough to make a run in the playoffs? Might take that scenario too if we actually make a run in the playoffs.

I/we would all love to win at Frisco. That said, I want to have fun supporting a good team.

I think almost under any scenario a 7-4 record will be somewhat of a disappointing regular season, IMO. I could see us beating NDSU but then tripping up against USD. Would be huge to get the NDSU monkey off our back, but that would still feel pretty unexciting, losing to USD towards end of season and killing momentum and building confidence in our program, both internally to our fan base and to the rest of the FCS. 

If we made a deep playoff run after that, that would change things. But it would have to be making it into the semi-finals and/or beating one for the top 5-6 seeds or something. We need to take the next step this year!

Frisco is the ultimate goal. Most of us just want to take some positive steps forward this year.

If we win any of those major games and still only finish 7-4 that means we laid an egg against some school like Indiana State or Arizona State.   We can't be getting upset against schools like that.

Do they ever sell old helmets?

[Dustin]

Whatever the regular season record is, I need 2 playoff wins to feel we’ve really taken a step. 

[sioux24/7]

So what do we think, will Quincy have more rushing TDs or receptions this year? Quincy had 6 rushing TDs last year and besides Zavalney (20), no tight end had more than 4 catches.

First we claimed "Flag Ship U" now the 701.  The 701 is brilliant on the helmets if indeed that's what we'll have this year.  It can't be duplicated or trashed in state!  And at the same time, it lays claim to ownership of the state FB athletic teams.  quite the hee, hee................

That green shell looks a million times better when accompanied by a white face mask as opposed to black.  

The 701 on the bumper?  Chef’s kiss.

They played for Langdon. They are from Calvin.  

If you are going to split hairs, Hannah is probably the closest place they got near the farm.

Roster lists them from Calvin. (Probably the only two college FB players ever from Calvin.) That’s where my Dad grew up. Been there many times over the years. Romfo was a Calvin name years ago. Not splitting hairs, just thought it was pretty cool and felt someone should speak up for Calvin.

Raise a glass for Calvin!!

Grew up a bit east of there, sounds like not much left of any of those small towns.
