Looks like we are still in the mix for a lot of decent players (indicated by warmer status).

It’s pretty cool to see guys with Utah in their top 5s, which also include the USCs and Bamas of the world. Now we just need to get one or two of those recruits to head our way to really…[Read more]

Do you think Oregon State will take Mike Reilly back?
I bet they shop around first, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen. Unless he burned bridges there or something when he left, I have no idea if that was the case though. 
Or, is Mike Reilly ready to call it quits for good? 

Thoughts on Mitch. 
What happened to him last night? Was it me, or were his kicks shorter than usual and less accurate? He also had that one bad shank (maybe it was deflected, I couldn’t tell). 
I hope he gets it still, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t get the Ray Guy this year. I feel like his average punt length (albeit just one…[Read more]

For those that missed it, or were at the game, Papadakis had some hilarious quotes. 
“Moss is knocking these guys over like bowling pins, and Colorado is even dressed like them.”
“They have so many Ray guy awards, mark helfrich tripped over them walking into the building. They’ve got em everywhere, using them as doorstops.”
“I love these Utah…[Read more]

I’m excited to see our helmets tonight with the U’s painted on them. 
My favorite ones this year were the white ones without the Utah stripe and oversized drum and feather. So fresh and so clean. 

Anyone seen him lately? 
Wasn’t he getting some run earlier this season? I remember people being excited for him out of fall camp. 
Is he hurt? Getting best out by others? Or am I just blind?

Let’s talk Ippolito. He came in as a linebacker and is now playing fullback. Does this mean:
1. That Whitt is fundamentally ok with defensive players moving to the offense where it makes sense? WHAT. 
2. While the previous 4 games were rough, that we finally have an OC that sees an opportunity and exploits it by playing to people’s…[Read more]

Depth is within our control, but wow, I can’t remember a game with this many injuries, can you? 

I stopped by CB real fast and found this: The question is why does everyone hate us?

If it’s tongue in cheek, I think we all feel that way sometimes. I know people don’t like playing us either. 
If it’s not, I think the reasons are:
An overconfident fanbase
A reputation for dirty…[Read more]

If you had to come up with a zoob name for UND, what would it be? 
For example, heard someone call Boise State the “tater zoobs” once. Pretty funny. 
Fargo zoobs? Oil zoobs? Wheat zoobs? Bird zoobs? 

Now that Dimick graduated, who do you all predict will be Dave Wannsteadt’s new favorite Ute? I thought it was hilarious last year how much they made fun of him for it in the pregame show. 

What Utah transfers do we need to keep an eye out for this year? 
Fogal at CSU
Lee at BYU
Isom? Cox?
I think Manning graduated last year. 

You know what the worst part about playing in Provo is? Hint: It’s not the drive. It’s their assymetrical Y logo at midfield. It’s an eyesore and distracting to the game. It’s seriously all I can focus on sometimes. 
Who caught that ball? Couldn’t tell, my eyes were peripherally distracted by their lopsided logo. 
Hopefully we’re in favorable…[Read more]

Let’s score some friggin points this year. 
Misdirection, red zone efficiency, quick passes, trick plays, funky formations. Let’s see it all. 
We are a long ways away from a surgical passing game, but let’s see what we can do. 
I’m so excited to see something new. I’m still cautiously optimistic and picking 8-4. 

Lots of talk about the new offense, and rightly so. At the end of the day though, will it be better, worse, the same or some combination? 
I think I fall somewhere between same to better. Same because it will be hard to install overnight, better because we have more athletes and options at quarterback. 

I cannot wait for football to start. Probably going watch the sugar bowl this weekend. I might even watch it a second time before football starts to hold me over. 
Does anyone else do this, or do my friends and I just have problems? 

Has anyone heard much about our kicking game? I think we have Hicken and a juco guy. 
They have big shoes to fill with Andy being finished. Will they be just as good, almost as good, or will we see more riverboat Kyle this year? 
In the warmups for the spring game, I thought I saw them hitting a few from distance, but that’s practice. 
Anyone…[Read more]
