Longtime fan

The best part was definitely jawing with the opposing players. Can’t recall the year…maybe around 2006?…Nebraska Omaha was here. They had some great teams around that time and played und very tough. Great matchups . Well I picked my victim early. Their safety. He cocked off early with a hit and that was I needed. I rode that $&@! all day long. Every time the play was on our side of the field I was on him. Finally he turned around and start jawwing back. I know once they engage you can’t let up. It wasn’t long and we had nearly the entire south end on him. He was out of his game. He was fully engaged with us and not the game. Perfect ! Great times on the catwalk Wished they open up the catwalk for tomorrow’s game. Ndsu needs to be ridden all day long . Relentlessly! Go Sioux !

Once they took away the catwalk…. the atmosphere dropped significantly. The hardcore ass$&@@s like me now have to coexist with the bleacher people. Not fun and quite boring. Majority of them are only there because they have nothing better to do. They don’t want disruption. They come to games for food, candy, drinks, selfies, tik tok moments…etc. Not interested in being loud, standing or talking football . A collaboration of wet blankets disguised as und football fans. So frustrating seeing the rail 7/8 empty and quiet. The groups of people that stood on the catwalk were there for opponent distraction, game talk and most importantly ….being the 12th man. We were loud and proud. Just an all around ridiculous idea that someone had to pocket some green. With that said. I will be there tomorrow being as loud as I can be with hopefully little feedback. Go Sioux !!

Und needs the victory for playoff clarity .. just like usd did last week. Und is at home while being the underdog….just like usd . The unexpected “things” have to happen just like the usd game Every team is beatable. Dont let the piss yellow team fans tell you different . Very rarely does a team go undefeated the entire season. This is the game UND has to play clean and sound unlike last week. Contain, contain, contain their qb. Big guy that is fast. Haven’t seen them play just some highlight's but he will be tough as he gets time to read the covers or take off. He looks more comfortable when being pressured as he can use his main weapon …his feet. Home game. Und is in playoff mode. Crowd noise ! Side question. Haven’t heard or read anything but anyone know if kaminski is alright ? He took two big shots the last drive that looked like he couldn’t shake off. He maintained his slouch too long . Again. I have no clue he was truly injured or just tired but hope he’s good to go.. und needs him Go Sioux !

Yeah sdsu going to lose to Indiana st now. SDSU is not good. But never know if Mason comes back

Bad game but I posted that i was unsure of this game. I know many here posted a blowout. Not sure the reasoning or factor is that decision? Und hasn’t proven anything yet. Playing better yes. But it’s not like they’re the #1 team or a team that has continued success year after year. I was expecting a victory but a tough single digit victory. SD isn’t a crap team . Und is better ….but und is not dominant. Playing a mvfc team that needs to win and …in their house….not easy. Unfortunately to beat Ndsu it will take an absolute perfect game. UNd hasn’t played a perfect game yet. sdsu will be tough ….50/50 chance. If they lose that one they will be sitting at 7-5 …..again !!! They would end the season with only two ok wins….Youngstown and S Illinois. Not the best resume.

Couldn’t agree more about the quality of teams at this level. I’ve been saying for a decade how weak the fcs is. Yet ever year it gets weaker as more of the good teams move up. The fcs is essentially D2. I also mentioned years ago about the fcs playoff system because of how weak the teams are. Why have a 24 team playoff bracket and why qualifiers ? The pioneer league is d3/ naia material yet they’re guaranteed a spot in the bracket?? Laughable. Nowadays ..there will never be a time that a team outside the top 8 seeded wins the championship. Make it a 8 team bracket. That’s about 4 too many but it’s reasonable.

Went through the top 10 FCs teams. I compiled stats that show schedule strength. Top 10 teams based on current FCS ranking and their resume 1 Ndsu. 8-0. Opponents record 32-33 with wins vs four teams with a winning record 2. Tarleton 9-0 opponents record 24-47 one team with a winning record 3. Montana 7-0 (8-0 if D2 included) 26-31 opponent record. Three victories over teams with winning record 4. Montana st 6-2 . Two losses to Oregon and sdsu . 35-31 opponent records and 21-29 with only their wins. Three victories with teams with winning record 5.sdsu loss to Ndsu. 33-31 opponent records. 25-31 with their wins. Three victories over teams with winning records 6. UC Davis 6-1 loss to Washington . 24-33 opponent records 18-31 on their wins One win vs a team with a winning record 7. Lehigh 8-0 29 -32 opponent record and 5 victories against teams with a winning record 8 Tennessee tech 7-0 18-40 opponent records One victory over team with winning record 9 Monmouth 7-1 Loss to Colgate. 26-40 opponent record. Two victories against teams with winning record. 25-32 only their wins 10. Und 6-2 losses to K st and Montana 27-37 opponent record. Two victories against teams with a winning record 15-33 with their wins only

Very unsure of this game . Optics, stats, results say und should confidently win in a controlled manner. However ….it’s a rivalry game in their house against a team that will be throwing everything at the wall to test what works. The coyotes have nothing to lose. Win or no playoffs. They are firmly sitting in the win or go home situation. Und can expect the unexpected and see things that are not on tape. Und needs to be laser focused and not look ahead to next weeks game against the #1 team If und plays like they have been playing they will win. Not expecting a blowout. More like a single digit victory. need to keep the momentum on Unds side. Unlike years past …this year …und is capable of wining road games.

I would agree that but the starters were still in lineup for most of if not all of the 3rd qtr for sure. Its a moot point however as they have won pretty comfortably every win. Just a small gripe of mine at this point. Also. The D is back!!! Nice to see und being able subdue a team. That to me is the most impressive change this year. Impressive.

Fantastic win! Eric already has more road victories than bubba did total the last two years Imo und is currently the best team in the MVFC. Ndsu and sdsu haven’t impressed against the lower tier teams they have played. My words will be tested when November rolls around. Realistically und should be undefeated. The two losses were last second losses on the road to a ranked fbs team and top 3 FCS team. Und literally gave away the two games. They were clearly the better team in both I have one gripe. Und has led comfortably every game (7 games) so far at the half. Outscoring the opposition 167-37. The second half in every game has been disappointing though. 5 games they have been outscored. Only N Iowa and valpo have they outscored. Need a full game ! Need to keep the foot on the neck and go for the kill . Need to keep the intensity a full game! Could come back and bite them against a quality opponent. kaminski is as important of a player as there is in the fcs. He is truly one guy that CANNOT go down for und. Absolute stud.

Und might have some issues with their qb. But mind is at home and is the better team. 38-28 good guys

Let it go ! Wtf!? The dude isn’t the starter anymore. Hell of an athlete and from everything I have heard he is a great teammate. Think most everyone agrees / knows he shouldn’t have been the starter last year. At minimum …the coaching staff should have had given some backups playing time but it didn’t happen. That’s not on him. ND kid that’s plays with heart and is a great teammate that has above athleticism …..he belongs on the team. Just drop the Simon hate! Very old and boring Go Sioux !!

I wasn’t a fan of hiring another UND associate to be head coach. Mentioned that last year before and after his hire. But I have to give him the benefit of the doubt and roll with it. It’s an upgrade from bubba but how much ? 3 games in and two losses are directly on him. Not a great start After the K st game, even with the bad 4th qtr coaching calls, it seemed as tho things had changed. Felt different. Doesn’t feel that way anymore. Feels like every year since 09. If UND was definitely the better team yesterday why didn’t they win ? Coaching! The two losses fall solely on the coaching staff. Und WAS the better team in both losses. But they keep losing in a multiple head scratching ways on the road. unfortunately… it feels like the losing culture is in place . Im very frustrated yet excited. Love football and love und. I just want to see a competent coaching staff execute a complete game . Without a doubt und should be 3-0.

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.
