Longtime fan

NCAA only cares about who forks out the most green. All that other criteria is worthless.

10000 capacity is very comparable to the alerus. Like the chances of hosting if we get to that point. First things first, take care of business and let pieces fall into place. Nice to have excitement within the football program

Never heard that. What stadium would it be held at and what's the capacity? Could be a hard bid for sd st potentially, depending on a few of those elements.

If und makes the playoffs there's a slight possibility they could host a game. Factor in regionalization and if sd st doesn't receive a seed (assuming ndsu gets a seed), the odds are, they will travel GF. Apparently there will be work on the jackrabbits stadium at the conclusion of the regular season . They wont be able to host. A lot can and will happen but how awesome would that be!!!

Espn 2. Kenny is good!!!

Just hope all the guys that aren't season ending injuries, can heal up and compete the final 2 games. Lets end the season strong, then cross the fingers on potentially a playoff game (wow!) and let's be heard loud and often for the seniors on senior day. Ratelle and the boys have given it all, hope the fans and students (calling all students) can return the favor !!

After the reversal was announced, the replay is shown and the crowd actually chuckled. Basically wondering how someone or more importantly , a supposed collective group of paid "professionals" could generate that thought process.

That supposed incomplete pass call has to go down as one of top 5 wtf moments in und football. Forgetting about replay, I screamed all 6 shades of red out of my face. When I couldn't scream anymore the only thing I could was to laugh hysterically at those bafoons! I thought , "here we go"! They did not show the replay until the "refs " indicated they weren't really refs, just the fact that they slept at holiday inn express!

Ive read on opposing teams sites that this has been an ongoing issue. It's every team! Very unfortunate that the refs get by with a lot of this bull. Thank god for replay review as it has at least reversed some of the calls. It seem like Saturday the refs had money on the game, not saying, just saying

The unc game has me a little bit worried. Being at home and having an extra week off will be nice, just hope the team doesn't over look any team! Bubba is always focused and has this this on the right path , but sometimes the players see the opponent as don't play up their standards. Unc lost on a last sec fg to e wash 2 weeks ago. They are an improved team over the years past and literally have nothing to lose. They are not necessarily a good team but anything can happen, aka South Dakota. Und is still beat up, missing several marquee players on d, just one game at a time!!!

Unds secondary 2 deep cbs: true soph harris, true soph carter, true fresh tyus, soph (first yr) jahmere safeties soph Reyes, true fresh polmberg, juco (first yr) Johnson, sen w/o James. Add in arnell first yr juco. The youth is apparent!

Yeah, I've already commented on his remarks! To say #27 jahmere should be recruited by the likes of mayville are laughable. He was heavily recruited on the east coast and commited to miss st over auburn. #19 Deion you already stated the facts and #33 Tyus is a true fresh. They are learning in a very pass happy conference, that will only strengthen them. Add to this, cole is banged up, arnell is gone and the injuries to Drew and taj have forced und into to a much different look defensively, namely from the pressure stand point! They need the fundamental part of the game to be stamped in their heads, as much of the time they are in great position, but don't follow through. The talent is there

It takes "excite "to get people out???? These young men commited to und to play football and give their everything to the game!! I guess people like you can be more excited staying at home watching your taped 'voice' episode because it's more exciting?? Fill the alerus because it's for und, it's a football game, and more importantly its showing respect to bubba and the athletes! They deserve it!

100 % agree!! On a cooler, rainy, windy day I guess students in grand forks nd have better things to do, like yard work or hunting, or maybe fixing the dryer!??!???? I guess they have much better things to do then supporting the football team ?????

Correct! My thoughts on Keaton have always been, he's very athletic but lacks the skills to be a good passing qb. While that might be true, you cannot defy the fact that he just simply wins! Losing the last 3 weeks in the manner to which we did, had Keaton been playing , pretty certain the outcome would of been different. He is just a winner and obviously a huddle warrior. I've played football both in high school and at the collegiate level and when you have a confident motivator leading the team, everyone responds. Respect is earned and truly believe he has earned it.

No!! They were denying mont st great returner any chance to take it to the house. Strategy not injury

? Number 19 that is top 5 in fcs in breakups!

Yes!!!! Good win guys!!! Finally! Nice to see 3 forced turnovers, but not happy with the play calling , especially the 2nd half again!! Nice to a win vs a top 25 team at home, very refreshing

Mont st 52 - injury riddled team 30. Hoping for no more injuries. Also will be watching very close at the predicted pathetic play calling, hope I'm wrong. I do think Santiago will rush for his first of many 200 yd games.

We as fans do not accept mediocrity. Proof is here at sioux sports, a fan website!! When und was 4-1 not to many of us were satisfied. Plenty of whining, complaining ,concerns and questions!! By reading some of the posts, you would make an assumption we were 1-4. If most teams were posting a 4-1 record they would be happy. Port st comes to mind. They're not used to winning but even after the und lose they really liked what was happening. Football tradition is strong here, maybe not the upper echelon but not bottom either. When you consider the fact there has only been 8 losing seasons in the last 50 yrs and half of those have been the last 5 yrs, it proves that und is currently in a rebuilding stage. I look at a couple of components that have factored into this 1). The most significant was the move to D1 with mussman! Mussman was a nice enough guy but a horrible head coach. This is where the blame falls squarely on faison and his complacency. Muss set this program back many yrs and now bubba has the task of cleaning up the mess and I have 100% confidence he will. 2). I'll keep it short, faison should follow Kelly. Football is every bit as important to us as fans but unfortunately we currently ride in the caboose of the mussman train wreck. It's been very frustrating the last 7 yrs but I have full confidence that bubba has this team heading in the right direction.

Scary matchup! Mont st is all but guaranteed to score 35-40 pts. They've done it all yr. Hate to be a broken record, but the injuries have completely decimated the team. Two ways und can pull it out: 1) Rudolph grows up and actually calls a good game all the while adjusting to whatever mont st d gives us: and 2) turnovers , both ways! Hold onto the ball, no int and how about the d create some turnovers! What would we as fans and mont st d do if Rudolph opened the 2nd half with 10-15 straight passes?? all dump downs, nothing deep, keep it simple. Abuse the te usage

The "lack of depth is a bad team" reference is nullified when the coach is in yr 1.5. To think bubba could make und playoff bound by yr two and with what he had to work with would of been incredible . I'm not even sure about next yr. Btw, bubba isn't at Duluth or s illinois anymore. Mute point. Just look at what belicheck did before hitting gold with New England. Nothing!! He sucked. So let's just drop what he did or didn't do before his arrival. The depth is something they're obviously working on, but with only two recruiting classes that's a bit difficult. This is a message board and you have the right to being completely pessimistic , but I believe majority of us realize the tough circumstances bubba has been thrown. The secondary issue is very frustrating but not for a lack of talent. One corner is top 5 in fcs in pass breakups, another one is miss st transfer that has played in a bowl game and safety that was well regarded. Numerous times the defenders are covering the wr lack the fundamental to watch the eyes of the receiver. They must counter act a reaction. Db coach needs to step it up. Will ratelle surely be missed but taj is more then ready to be the undisputed leader of the d next yr. his injury affected the way the d is playing. Huge loss!!! He's an X factor and a do it all type of player Happy to have back next yr . One last thing....in bubba we trust

Exactly. 20 games in a row of his ineptness and lack of adjusting should be more then enough to signal an issue. Rudolph simply can't adjust to the game. 35 offensive tds in 20 games, not quite 2 tds per game. Rudolphs offense has averaged less then 14 pts a game and a good fg kicker that will add 3 pts when he runs out of plays. Try page 2 of the playbook! We'll see how many 3 and outs happen against mont st, as they have shown very little resistance to any d1 team they have played. 2 offensive tds and a couple fgs????

Cant say for sure about the move to safety, but the one thing thats for certain is his talent! Talent is needed at wr, so if I had a vote, keep him there. I agree with his run style as a rb, much to upright and the punishment he could sustain. Santiago and brady make a great combo for 4 yrs and I like the idea of Clive, iwarri, and dulin at wr next yr. still very young next yr but a boatload of talent and potential.
