But we all "hope" our athletic administration "expects" more than just one playoff win for Bubba at UND so far in his tenure!

A nice seven or eight win season. First round exit. Repeat. At most host a home playoff game and maybe win that. Everyone knows that that will be the high ceiling for this team. Don't like it, but we've all seen this show before a bunch of times. Why would anyone expect anything different this time around? Especially with a young qb who constantly throws 5 yard passes into the ground!

That's what it feels like!

Actually i think we are sorta making the same point. No big deal losing to the strongest team in the country. The goal is to make deep playoff runs and contend for a title. That's the bigger goal. Losing to the Dakota States doesn't hurt playoff chances because everyone knows how strong they are. That's small picture stuff. Bubba will lose to unknown teams this year probably before and/or during the playoffs. That's the bigger picture. And that's the real issue here. This game could have been an FCS semifinal. Then we'd lose and it wouldn't be "mediocre expectations". It would have been meeting expectations only difference was UND made a nice deep playoff run. UND isn't even close to that yet. Accomplish step one first!

One could easily argue beating the best teams in the entire FCS is not quite "mediocre expectations". More like the highest expectations one can have. Bubba weakness isn't losing to NDSU and SDSU, it's inability to win against everyone else. Especially on the road. His road record sucks. His playoff record sucks. I'll take losing to the eventual Champs in the Dakota State Universities. But he needs to win against everyone else and have deep playoff runs. Which he never has. He's not some new coach. He's got some of the nicest FCS facilities in the country to work with! Just one playoff win is pretty unacceptable in my view.

How many playoff games has Bubba won? Is it one or zero?

Game just shows how much work UND still has...if there was any doubt

Unfortunately the game is playing out what most expected it to.

UND 7-23 on the road.

Sports betting books say UND will likely go 1-2.

Fawkers are gonna end up getting the W. Had to fight through a little adversity.

TD would be nice....

Found our mojo.

No more short passes. He throws those into the ground.

San Diego seems chippy.

Und 59 on defense is an animal

Did really expect to be anything but a bubble playoff team yet again?

Is this the real UND team?

Another turnover would be nice.

San Diego is awesome.

Good thing they got that early interception.. Or maybe that was bad.... Fawkers thought they'd have an easy game.

San Diego with all the momentum.

Fawkers gonna have to wake up.

San Diego is bad.
