Yep, the SU's will win another 4 titles and we will be fighting for our 7 wins...

In light of the events since the last game(1 and done playoff appearance)... 2024 North Dakota Football Schedule Aug. 31 at Iowa State - LOSS Sept. 7 vs. Montana - LOSS Sept. 14 vs. Idaho State- TOSS UP Sept. 21 vs. San Diego-WIN Sept. 28 vs. Murray State*-WIN Oct. 5 at North Dakota State*-LOSS Oct. 12 BYE Oct. 19 vs. Northern Iowa*- TOSS UP Oct. 26 at Youngstown State* - LOSS Nov. 2 at Indiana State*-TOSS UP Nov. 9 vs. South Dakota State*- LOSS Nov. 16 vs. South Dakota* - TOSS UP Nov. 23 at Illinois State* - LOSS We have 5 all but guaranteed LOSSES, 1 probable LOSS(MONTANA), 2 all but guaranteed WINS and 3 TOSS UPS. Lose at home vs UNI and we could lose the last 7 games of the season. Best case is 7-5 and a playoff berth, worst case is 2-10. Would make a bet we have no more than 7 wins and at least 5 losses.

On one hand I can't believe the extension...on the other hand, it should have been expected by all of us... Looks like the standard for UND football is 5-7 wins a season...

Exactly the reason coaches are bailing. Program has been in slow decline for a couple years.

Bubba should have been replaced after the 2021 season.

At this point, does it really matter?

Agree 100%. Good man, average football coach which is proven with a look at his record. A good coach would have won 50% more games at North Dakota over Bubbas tenure, but moved on after 5-7 years. A great coach would have won 85-90% of his games at UND and been gone in 2-4 years.

WTF is going on? Can you imagine being an offensive player for UND tonight? Bubba is too good of a man to have it end like this. Something is really wrong. In the span of 4 month, we went from hanging 49 on the Bison to having nobody want to be responsible for the offense under Bubba.

My comments were aimed more at Bubba and the present staus of the football program than about Deboer. With the correct man in the saddle, UND would instantly be a consistent seed at the FCS level.

I would say win 9 regular season games, first round playoff bye, win a minimum of 1 playoff game. What he has done over the last 10 years, an average coach could do at an FCS program like UND.

A coach like Deboer would have taken any three teams Bubba had, won a minimum of 9 games and as many as 15 all three years, and had a resume to move to a substantial FBS program. Same players.

A great way to put it. Almost doesn't matter what the schedule is. We will win most games at the Alerus, lose most games away from the Alerus and if we have enough home games to make the playoffs we lose the first playoff game. I still say this program has never recovered from the NDSU loss in 2021. The overall trend line has been down ever since that game(of course with the exception of the mirage game against NDSU in 2023).

I heard it was because DeBoer is not good at “the Griddy”…

Amazing rise. Good for him! Wonder if Schmidt will join him?

DeBoer name Alabama coach. Wow. Talk about a rocket rise.
