    So you think high school kids should be able to come on campus and immediately start performing at a high level? It doesn't work that way in any sport, especially FB. "Next man up" only works when you have built quality depth throughout the program and that doesn't happen overnight. Bubba and company are in this for the long haul and I believe our best days are ahead of us.

    No, i understand if a true freshman struggles. Even red shirt freshman, but after that, it's either not recruiting very well or just not performing. But to be positive, 2 conference losses looks like it could win the conference, anything is still possible, just need one win to get things going again. One difference I have realized is when the hockey team gets embarrassed, the next game is always a must watch because they come out wanting to make up for the embarrassment. Thought I would see the same thing today, and didn't.

  2. As a former Offensive lineman, the excuses and passes are pretty sad. We were expected to perform starting Day 1, regardless of age. You were recruited to play this level for a reason. If you can't win  the game yourself, just don't cost the team the game. That simple. If your over matched, focus on walling guys off, not moving them. The team goes where the OLine goes.

  3. Got mussman defense with a bad offense. Not a good recipe for success. Reyes has had bad injury luck, I understand, but he seems to have lost a step, something we don't know or avoiding playing like years past to protect himself for post UND career. Hate judging toughness cause you never really know but his play this year just doesn't add up. He needs to be senior leader #1 and just haven't seen it.

    Confirms my belief that the entire coaching staff needs to go.  Incompetent.

    Clock management is easy to do.  No excuse for this. 

    We have a team that is undisciplined, an offensive coach who is clueless, and a head coach who seems to have no idea how to manage the clock.  All of this should be significantly better regardless of the talent on the field.

    Is this as bad as the Mussman regime? No but it is not a lot better.   Just because it is better does not mean it is good enough.  

    At least with mussman we knew we were score a decent amount of points

    This seems like a sensible thing to do or at least consider.  For those who have a better football mind than I do, how easy is it to transition to a new defense in one week? I have to imagine it isn't very easy to do.

    4-3 defense isn't terribly difficult to learn at its basic level. OLBs are very important, especially when defending the pass. DL not letting olineman to the next level is make or break. If lineman get to the linebacker level on a regular basis, it's going to be a long day defensively. LBs need to be able to flow. Not difficult, but OLBs need to be assignment sharp.

    Am thinking of going to the series against Miami in Ohio in February.  Best way to get there is to fly into Cincy and rent a car?  Is there anything to do outside of the game?  Any good pre game pubs?  Where to stay?  Tickets easy to come by?   Thanks.

    Went last year. We drove. We drive to the road games we go to. Fun to see new things on the drive. Very fun college town. Not a whole lot extra to do besides check out the football stadium. Really helps if everyone is 21. Out of Omaha, st cloud, and Miami, Miami had the friendliest people and easiest town to walk everywhere. Mac & Joe's is place to eat. Have to use Google maps to find it as the entrance is an alley, but the food was great. Tickets were fairly easy to come by. Hotels on other hand are scarce as it's a small town. Stayed at comfort Inn, was nice hotel, nothing fancy, but nice people, rooms and good breakfast. Definitely will be going back in the future, very fun trip.

  7. That game reminded me a lot of 04-05ish when UND lost at St Cloud and their running back ran wild and was frustrating to watch, hopefully get the result that followed up later in the year with a playoff win over them
