I've mentioned that this game scares me. Just because their jersery has UNC on it, most everyone thinks is a win!? No one is guaranteed a win, and UNC is improved this year. They should have beat e wash two weeks ago (last sec fg) but had some unfortunate bounces, and they have nothing to lose. If they can hold off port st they will have a swagger and the utmost confidence they can beat und. They've played the top 2 dogs in the big sky to what at the moment looks like a win and a should-of-victory. Hope und is healthy

Congrads!!! Great news! Can't wait to see them in Kelly green!
-
Wow!!!! Just wow!!

The catwalk is hands down the best "seat" in the house. Last time I sat in my designated seat was the quarter final game vs grand valley st. I'm loud and proud and was asked by the gal behind me to sit down!? I will sit down at home not here. If they made one side of the stadium general admission, to where you could group up with 10-20 friends, them I might make an exception and not use the catwalk. Until then, the catwalk is much to fun and to be able to hassle the opposing players and to see their expressions is priceless. Last week I received the bird from one of mont st players.....haha...

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!!!
-
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.
