    Coach Entz is just impressive... enjoyable to listen to. We're so fortunate.

    "Dang!" That was a fantastic interview with coach Entz. Interesting that he expressed concern for recruiting the "Rudy's" that make the scout teams viable.

    Listening to the interview really gives you the impression he knows what he is doing and the program is in good hands.

    You can call the ticket office or TM office and tell them if you want a refund or have it go to your pledge.

    We called and asked if it was still on. Headed to Fargo. A guy almost rear ended us on 46 and sailed (like airborne) into a slew. So we turned around to make sure he wasn’t dead and got stuck. Got pulled out and drove to Fargo. Then of course they cancelled. Now we are home. Roads and visibility were great coming home.

    Let me guess, he was either driving a helmet car, or doing his taxes? Or, both.
    Hey Barkeep, another round of the green stuff for me and my buddies!

    I love how Entz mentioned several times that the class looks great on paper. Lots of work to do.

    Coach E talked about the large class and the need to backfill due to the large graduating class, injuries, attrition and academics. He mentioned academics multiple times, certainly more than I am accustomed to hearing. I thought we've been pretty good on that front during this run. Is there actually an issue there?
    Insert something clever here...

    You prepare for all contingencies. Its nothing more than a laundry list of what could happen and does.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I couldn't find any current data for football players even on the NCAA site. 93.6% of the students in general who apply to NDSU are accepted but the attrition rate for Freshmen is 20% (national average is 28%).
