Thanks, not sure why I thought it was last weekend.

I was hoping that GFH would have a couple of stories this week about spring practice but I didn't see anything?  Any locals (teeder) going to attend to provide some updates?

I drove up to GF to watch the scrimmage and get a free donut. The QB’s threw the ball well. Feeney got picked once but receiver might have knocked it down. Otherwise he had a good day. Kaminski missed on a slant pattern but through a TD on another. Romfo had more pressure from DLine but also threw the ball well.  They all threw the ball well in drills. Hentges (transfer from Mary) didn’t get through his reads as fast but also threw well. Our receivers looked good but we didn’t really try many deep throws. My biggest disappointment in the passing game was despite a new OC it doesn’t seem we realize the TE is an eligible receiver.  
Zeibart and Seidel were held out. Donovan Hunt is quick and accelerates quickly. We need to hang on to him and get him involved in the offense. 
Oline looks big. Couldn’t tell much cuz it was a scrimmage whistles blown early to protect QB’s. Grant Romfo was the workhouse RB during live running game reps. Most plays were inside runs. 
Defensive line kept running game bottled up for the most part. Secondary looks much better. Receivers weren’t running free. LB’s looked to be reacting quicker. 
FG guys decent distance but must be more consistent. Punting was nothing special. 
I’m sure there were some things I missed. Overall I wouldn’t be pessimistic but we have to get a lot better over the summer.

I’m a big fan of Hunt.

Hoping he gets more touches.

I asked the same question a couple months ago. 

I know Dale had an account on here back in the day that disappeared when he left.

Haha my comment was meant in jest. I hope to see him posting again soon, one of the more trusted posters, in my opinion.

No, about two weeks prior to the end of spring ball on the spring prospectus - they had a page for the depth chart which was empty and a note saying it will be updated on the week prior to final week of practice.  I looked late last week and apparently the update was to remove the page all together.

If UND Football was a movie it would be Ground Hog's Day, some ups and downs and nuances throughout but we are stuck, over and over again we enter another off season with underwhelming talent, development, and coaching.  On top of that when UND does develop a player that is recognized nationally the new normal is another school gives him $150,000 to transfer, edging out his next offer of $50,000 and pick of any truck on the lot.  College football is lawless and declining.  Big name Coaches are leaving.  Soon FCS will be a pure development league for FBS.  I understand the frustration with UND and with college football in general, hanging by a thread myself.

Agree with all of your statements. 

Regarding the portal - the G5 and less successful P5 schools are next in the pecking order and lose players up the chain too.  It will be interesting to see what it looks like in 5-10 years.  It is not sustainable the way things are now.  I read that Calipari from Kentucky has been promised $5M/year in NIL funds at Arkansas.

An article at the Athletic last week described the drive for the top 70 teams in one class with the next 60 in a lower level with the best of them able to move up like in Euro soccer relegation.

All players would be in a union and get paid. Not sure where all the money comes from but the SEC, Big 10 and other conferences refuse to join the talks. Mainly due to the monstrous TV contracts they have now.

But, all of them seem to recognize they can not keep up the money race and something has to give.

Great move. Much better than Saturday at 11am or Sunday competing with the NFL.

Clifton McDowell will stay in the FCS as the former Montana quarterback announced on Saturday he is transferring to McNeese State.
