Just 5 games and might be the worst home schedule I can remember as season ticket holder. Disagree. NDSU and SDSU at home to end the season is excellent. Going to be a fun time bringing fb championships back to the northernmost (better) end of I29. 1 2 Quote

Valpo never excites me no matter where we play them. Same goes for other teams like Drake which tend to show up every few years. I don't care if it's an easy win. If we need to schedule crap teams to pad the record we aren't ready for the playoffs. 2 Quote

As we all know until UND can beat the SUs on a regular basis there is little room for error on the schedule every year. Last year's collapse is unexplainable, thinking the turn around could start right away this year. 2 Quote

F'n Hawks Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 A couple of good write ups from Kelly. As was expected, seems like the coaching staff will be targeting some more defensive players from the spring portal with DT and LB being the main focus. 1 Quote

The defense reads like the roster in Major League, Who are these......? The D rebuild I'm afraid could be a 2 year process. Hope to finish middle of the road next season and then be in top 3 in League the following season. Also, could be looking for a RB in the portal unless some of the WRs can provide for a Slash type option to take a few carries. We have Z, Seidl (who missed games with injury), then 2 Freshman. It's thin at RB. Quote

Transfer from San Diego State looks to be the part and I’m also a believer in Kaminsky as well. Return Romfo as well but don’t think he will win the job. Quote

forksandspoons Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The defense couldn’t get much worse than the past few years considering they were near the bottom of the league in most categories. Glad to hear they’re probably bringing in some new DTs. Win in the trenches! Secondary should be solid. Lotta questions elsewhere Quote

AJS Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Getting excited for Spring ball. In the transfer portal era, there's essentially two off-seasons. I place a tremendous amount of value on transfers that are on campus and participate with spring ball. The depth chart that follows, giving the coaching staff a good idea of where they are at. Losing key players after spring ball to the portal is a killer. So far, off-season #1 was the best we've seen (portal out vs in). If they can replicate this spring, I think they can make waves year 1. 2 Quote

Need to hold to a high standard from the start. I think a rapid turnaround should and will happen. Quote
90siouxfan Posted March 14 Posted March 14 How long will SS.com be down if Simon comes out of spring camp with the nod? So be it, as long as in game changes and reps for the others are utilized. But yeah, looking forward to the new dudes calling Omaha, Omaha. Quote
