No longer seeing Austin Hopp or Brian Woodward on the roster. Both starting tackles last year and Hopp likely being our best lineman the last 2 years.

Little concerned we only have 11 OL on the roster and not much playing experience. Waddle is our most experienced and he's new to the system.

Malkow and Ross both have a full season of FCS starting and Morrow at Juco, but that's about it.

Where is the team practicing? Basketball will be in Western Hall. Rec Center or Brophy? Up here Farley (UNI HC) said last week they play their second game at YSU. He said he may have to get on a skid loader to clear the snow as he wasn't going to YSU without practicing outdoors.

Really good early season matchup up here Friday night. SDSU at UNI

I'll mention it again when we get to the week of the game, but our game against Illinois State has been moved up an hour (11 AM kickoff instead of noon) to allow it to be broadcast live on the Cubs Marquee Sports Network prior to a Cubs spring training baseball game: https://goredbirds.com/news/2021/3/2/fo ... -hour.aspx

I think this goes here. Not entirely sure but I’m sure he won’t be the last either.

Freshman Taylor Harris at DB enters transfer portal he came from the Naval Academy Prep School like Iosefa. It will be interesting how many get picked up because of how crazy the transfer portal is already.

I believe this is Malik Burns but could be wrong.

Michael Webb into the portal. I believe he’s DL?

I’m assuming that he’s giving interviews of why he should be drafted means he won’t be back in the fall.
