Star Tribune has two great editorials about the $$$ flowing around college football ( mostly football but other sports too). “When tradition, greed collide, injuries follow” and “Obscene pay for coaches is out of control.” Like I said, maybe we should go back to the Memorial Stadium. u of m should love this.....their campus is in a major town and no big msu (sorry mankato st) to compete for donor dollars....problem is fleck is a fraud and minny town is falling apart Quote

GoHawks Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 21 hours ago, AJS said: By my count, between returners and transfers, there are 7 Safety's. Two questions, what's the confidence level that there are two legitimate starters in that group? Second being, are there two others you feel good about filling out the 2-Deep with? Transfers: Martens (So), Martin (Jr) Last Years Depth: Ball (SR), Davis (JR) Last Years Youth: Sutton (So), Pfeffer (So), Erkman (R-FR) Feel ok about the transfers especially if they can get here for spring ball. Have zero confidence in last years depth from what I saw from them. Don't know much about the youth except good things about Erkman. Quote

Miller's article says that Martens is enrolling for the spring semester today. Excited about his potential. Quote

Well that is exactly what we don't need!! Quote

Why would someone wait until Spring to transfer outside of getting buried on the depth chart? I would also say, for "a lot of players" not being a fan of Schwenzfeier, only losing three defensively players to the portal, isn't too bad. You have few, but certainly interesting posts. I'm guessing any future posts will follow the same lines as the first few. 1 Quote
UND1983 Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Based on the the players I saw out there I wouldn't be too upset about losing them. Maybe a couple Quote

Maybe a couple There would be a few. Those same players were able to get a lot of teams to 3rd down a lot of times. Just couldn’t finish a series. Some of that is execution and some is coaching experience. i’m ok letting spring ball play out and everyone make a decision that is best for them. That may include coaches bringing in different players. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Some of you folks wouldn’t be upset if UND won 7 games every season for the rest of eternity, because it’s “better than where we were”, so there’s that … 1 1 Quote

I’m afraid you’re actually the one with the auditory hallucinations given how often you bring up voices in heads on here … It’s okay, I can sympathize; trying to constantly justify the current direction of UND football/athletics would be very debilitating.

How many FG or Punts blocked by opponents vs how many FG or punts blocked by UND. Statistics can be a bitch if you don't research the results. Just maybe just the most negative person on the forum. 1 Quote

Still FG kicking ain’t anywhere close to where it should be. Quote
