Longtime fan

Just saw the score as I was unable to watch or listen. Looks like nothing has changed for und on the road. Always finding a weird or difficult way to lose. I had initially thought it felt different after the K st loss. I don’t feel that way anymore. Feels like the last decade + Hoping for the best the rest of the season

I agree. Hoping Schmidt can get some guys for next season. Portland st had 330 total yards in the first two games. 205 total so far and their first points in GF.

Man is Portland st an absolute mess ! Might be the worse D1 team in a long time . Feel bad for them actually. When they run out in the field the eye test says we’re playing Central . No way they win a game this year.

Mixed emotion's for me. On one hand it was most definitely a game und should have won. On the other hand und was suppose to get blown out of the water. Hate moral victories as much as the next person but bubba would have had no chance in this game. Eric needs to clean up a few things but there’s just a different feel now. Swagger. Football toughness. Aggressive. You could see players put it on the line for this coaching staff. Bubbas teams folded by way of his o gosh I golly attitude. I look at three specifics last night: -Und easily should have had 4 INTs. would have been fine with 2 of them. Need to clean that up -the last offensive drive. You need to be a risk taker when you’re playing a very good team. Settling for gut runs to the clock (which in return burned very little time ) was giving the game away . Wasn’t working all game. Why waste the opportunity here!? Jerry should have been given the keys for an rpo on all the plays. They only needed ONE first down to ice it ! Damn ! -the last defensive drive . So frustrating!!! For the life of me I will never understand why coaches go to prevent D!??? Never works on any level. Their qb had all day to read his routes with those talented receivers. Stick with what was working . They are an explosive team and und pulls off of being the aggressor. Their qb absolutely loved it . Lost opportunity . Time to focus on Portland st . Put an absolute ass kicking on them and come out injury free. Montana game will be the game where I feel we can gauge this team.

Hell yeah !

Bubba show

So how did Romfro get nearly every snap last year ? Bubba handcuffed ?

Nice to have some resemblance of a D .

Bama is not the bama we all watched the last couple decades. K st is better than bama imo. Replacing Saban is not easy. Ask DeBoer

New era new way I don’t expect a victory tonight but I am expecting a coach that shows he’s coaching capable. Let’s go!

Agreed. There is nothing exciting for me on this hire. Hope he succeeds but I see no culture change. Eric brings toughness and intenseness thats needed in the football world…..but eh. Such a typical und hire. Blah. Eric will be reunited to the constant Joel, Shawn, Travis and Carl. Will he retain any of the coaches (buddies) that have high contributions to a yearly average 6.0 W -5.1 L team? 54%. This program needs a complete overhaul. Time to start with a blank canvas.

Mentioned before but he is the one that I wouldn’t mind if und “has” to hire a und connection. Extremely smart guy. Football demeanor. But again….wish und would step away from the connection. There are plenty of legit coordinators or lower level head coaches that this would be an upgrade for.

Won’t take the card away but having a familiar gobc back in the club is renewing the same imo. Outside influence will have a different view or take. IMO. Try something new from an outside source as und D1 days have been very underwhelming.

One more added point. If Eric is hired…half of the coaches are still here from when he left. Will he retain all of them ? They are part of the gobc.

Bubbas still here and present. Not HC anymore but accessible around every corner. Back to the same bar, same acquaintances, same talk, same time for the gobc connection. Und needs new blood !!! Any und tie, regardless of time away will be like they were never gone since bubbas still roaming.
