  1. Cam needs touches. Most explosive player hands down. I mentioned him being an all American in fall ball and just recently questioned why he isn’t being used more. Coaching or just not worthy? I will say coaches. Also ....does a TE have a reception yet?.. Und must be one of the only football teams in America at any level that doesn’t use TEs. Not impressed with freund calling so far. Better than Rudy ..but being being better than Rudy doesn’t speak volumes. Defense is the reason why und wins games.
  2. This guy is the real deal. Und needs a signing like this.
  3. UNI beats Idaho st 13-6. Looks like ndsu will be #2 next week.
  4. Und is going to have a very amped team next weekend. Believe they are 1-3 on the season. They cannot afford another lose. Eastern wash will want to throw a statement game and und is up. Und better be sharp. The next two games will show us fans where und belongs with the top 10”ish” teams in the fcs.
  5. We can disagree. Und came out with a purpose and a more sped up offense beginning in the 3rd and they scored twice with ease. Nice adjustments! What happened after that? Did Sam make adjustments that und was unable to recognize or just back to conservative ? But yes completely agree with the run game. The light hogs thing isn’t working. They need their 30-40#s back next year for mvfc play where 70% of every d line in the league are talented big dudes. I don’t consider drake and Sam top d lines in the fcs
  6. This is my biggest issue too. It’s like his “niceness” comes out when they start to get some swag or momentum.....than the ultimate giant momentum killer comes with his ultra conservative way. You could feel it when und was leading 27-14 in the 3rd...bubba had thought its time to go to the way he knows best. Never a killer instinct mindset ....nice is the word . Not sure there will ever be a game where it feels comfortable He finally had had a great call with the safety however.
  7. But those that stayed were involved. Hats off to them.
  8. Not sure what greibel was thinking. Horrible decision.
  9. It’s a win. Und has a lot to figure out but they beat a respectable team. The zone blocking weight loss thing is not working. Run game this season had been horrible. JJ isn’t the answer. Looks injured or worn out. He folded over on the 4th and 1 try. 240lbs and falls over by a shoe lace tackle???? Should of been automatic 1st. Passing game still doesn’t involve the TEs. Wanzek is awesome. Use McKinney more. Bubba is the most conservative/ nice coach in America. Absolutely love love love our secondary. Sam’s WRs are legit and for the most part were shut down. Donnell is closing in on all American status. D line is getting better by the week. The aggressive nature of this D can lead to mismatches and exploitation’s for opposing offenses. It’s either on of off. Sam found a rhythm with the qb run and exploited the D in the 2 and parts of the 4th. Thank god for the 3 int’s. Can’t lose any more qbs. Punt return team......??????? Take advantage of the bye and get healthy. 2-1. Need to go at minimum 1-1 in the next two.
  10. Does anyone with “inside” knowledge know why McKinney plays sparingly? The most explosive player und has yet he only gets a couple touches a game? Injured? Same applies to griebel. Und has to do a better job with lateral movement on D. Ndsu picked them apart wide. Sam’s guys are slippery ..... make the first contact and it’s a must to wrap up. Part of the lateral concern for me, and has been from day 1, is the OLBs. Jaxon is really good but outside of him I’m not impressed. Smaller and/or slower is not a winning ingredient. If that’s the case I would like to see Rastas get some field time at OlB. Perfect mentality for a defensive player...he gets it done! He was a fresh all American at ILB couple years ago.
  11. Und needs to win ...period!! Don’t give a &$:;% about the score. Just win.
  12. Sorry to say but last week made it clear that und isn’t ready for the top 5 “ish” teams. Sam isn’t a top team....a good team but definitely not top 5. Und has four consecutive games vs the top 25 If there was ever a time for bubba to show us fans that und is FCS relevant ...the next four weeks is the time. Show us that Und belongs in D1. This game is at home ...cant lose home games! Imo ...if und can come out of the next four games 2-2 that is a positive . As much as the last week was a downer this season... there is a lot football to be played. Take care of home field.
  13. Exactly! A good/ great head coach has the ability to dissect and expose their weaknesses and recruit accordingly. Bubba recruits “recruits” because that’s part of his job. Massive difference How many hardcore fans actually believe that bubba will bring a winning formula to the mvfc.? Honest question.
  14. Sam isn’t physical but typically has speed. It’s at home. UND should be favored
  15. It only took an opposing fan one time to see the obvious. Bubba doesn’t have it
  16. In regards to ndsu and quality/talent of players.....they have 9 players on the two deep that were walk ons. Say what you want but they seem to develop the players to another level. In regards to coaching/winning...Bubba is not the guy. His way of coaching to a certain extent was fine in the big sky but will not cut it in the mvfc. He’s outmatched. Reality set in yesterday. Bubba brought an experienced team to Fargo against a new coached young and mostly inexperienced ndsu team. We all know the outcome. Yesterday was his chance to take them down and gain positive attention. If it looked like they belong on the field is one thing but they were outmatched at every personal level.
  17. Unable to watch or listen to the game but I 100% agree bubba has had his time. Lost faith in him nearly three years ago when he thought keeping Rudy was a great idea. This game cemented the fact that und/ bubba is not ready for big time. 6 years prove that. Bubba is, I believe, 5-14 vs top 25 teams....with only 2 of those teams making the playoffs that year. So in other words ....und can beat teams that don’t make the playoffs. People will argue that in the last 8 years most teams that line up against ndsu lose.....which is true .....but unds lack of competitiveness in these games is glaring. Physical teams are unds nemesis. Should never be. Und lived and died by that motto of being physical. The Missouri valley is filled with this the ndsu type of team......punch you in the mouth ....win it in the trenches! Und will play one more year of the “no D” big sky (Weber is the exception) than it’s off to a week after week after week of this style of game. Bubba isn’t ready for it In conclusion....the reality hit hard today that und isn’t ready. I feel with the big sky schedule this team has enough talent to make a run for possible post season play. After today’s debacle ...I see 3 for sure losses (ndsu, Weber, e wash) 3 others up in the air.
  18. -No lapses on special teams. Very crucial -protect the gut on D ...make them pass. 100% faith in unds secondary . - if und ends up having to be pass happy .....even if it’s only for a yard gain ....completion is a must. Keep the clock moving.
  19. I hear yeah. If they had Tom Brady and the NE o line they would cover the 31 points. They are only ndsu. ....no way in hell they cover. They might beat und but never by 31.
  20. Und isn’t playing Clemson or Alabama. Und easily covers spread.
  21. Und wins. Ndsu is a fcs team. Same level. Too many people acting they’re like they unbeatable. F@&$ the bison .
  22. Last I checked ...ndsu wasn’t an nfl team. They can be beat like any other other fcs tam. Can’t wait!!
