UND's road record under Bubba....18-37
So many big game "debacles" over the last decade on the road.

So it's no different than high school athletics? That is the attitude holding FB and other programs back.
You may be satisfied with 6-5 and 7-4 seasons with an occasional playoff appearance sprinkled in, but I think we are capable of so much more.
That is the real question at this point. Is 5-7 wins a season and an occasional playoff appearance enough for the University of North Dakota?

The second half gets better……
I don't understand the play calling early whatsoever. Why so different than NDSU? Is it because we had the lead vs NDSU and were behind yesterday? Why not run the ball for 5 yards instead of always trying to pass for 5 yards? When Ziebarth left the game, he had 4 rushing attempts for 27 yards...and Tommy was 6-9 for 46 yards. Don't understand the play calling at times.
We will all feel better in a week.

I think things will be much the same as far as coaching and personnel. Here is a very early prediction on the 2023 season...
Drake - easy W
Northern Arizona - W
@Boise State - L
@South Dakota State - L
Western Illinois - W
North Dakota State - L
@Northern Iowa - L
Indiana State - W
@Murray State - Toss up - bad team but we are on road in a new venue
@South Dakota - Toss up - avg team but on the road
Illinois State - Toss up - good team but at home
There you have it. somewhere between 4-7 and 7-4.
4-3 after 7.
Indiana State - W
@Murray State - Toss Up
@South Dakota - L
Illinois State - Toss Up
7-4 and a play off spot is still obtainable. Have to win the two toss up game and after yesterday's debacle, Tommy's bad performance and losing Ziebarth, neither will be easy.

You didn’t miss much
Just watched first half on ESPN+. The offense is terrible, especially after ziebarth went down....a thousand ways to throw a swing pass. Tommy looks like a deer in the headlights.

Status quo, but this is a 10 year sample size
Yep. Its just who we are. Playing anyone other than a cupcake on the road is an instant L for Bubba. Just can't get over the "hump". We did get the Bison monkey off our back and was really hoping last weeks win would give us some juice and get us over the hump. I was at a wedding so I could not watch the game other than on my phone.

HUGE win yesterday. What happens next Saturday in Cedar Falls will tell us a bunch about what happened yesterday and the rest of the season.
Sucks, but I guess now we know. Win all the games we should(7-4) and we will be one and done in the playoffs.

Well hopefully somebody breaks something at halftime and we come out on fire. This second half will tell us what our program is made of. Huge opportunity.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess we now know.
Looks like all the stars were lined up for us last week, I really wish it wasn't so.

I had hope after last week, because Bubba broke a tendency by beating NDSU. The follow up disaster @UNi was certainly back to the decade of a Bubba ball at UND.

I’ll be honest, I just want a win - whether by 1 or by 40 - in order to see the excitement back at the Alerus next game. The trend with this current staff / regime has been let downs right when the hype has an opportunity to build.
Beat UNI! Go Hawks!
This! Follow up last Saturday with a win!
Lets Go Hawks!

McFeely always loves stirring the pot with Bison fans. He’s been waiting a long time to write this one!!
“Horns down, all the way down”!
McFeeley is correct in everything he said. The Bison cam to Grand Forks with some holes in the proverbial ship. Our boys ripped open the holes and made some new ones. Now the Bison dynasty is taking on water and is finished. I will have to mail Entz a Rocky Hager crying towel…
Go Hawks!

I had this exact conversation with an NDSU friend last night. There really arent all that many truely hostile environments in the MVFC. Yah they beat us 5 times in a row but 4 of them were in the Fargodome which is a really significant home field advantage and they struggled 2 years ago in the alerus and what a result this year!! Biggest issue for the Bison now is Entz.. I would be willing to chip in for them to keep him around.
Re-sign Entz to a decade long contract today!

Matt Entz has stopped thinking about the game and is now trying to figure out how much of his contract is guaranteed.

What makes a player/ recruit good? What makes a player / recruit bad? A lot goes in to this, including how the players develop after you get their commitment. Guys like Nick Saban recruit damn good players but they also develop the hell out of them.
UND could recruit AND develop their players better, and that falls on coaching. Talk about execution, what do you think gets the good teams to consistently execute and the bad teams to not?
ok, ok, I digress.
Huge BINGO.

Wow, that's what you got out of that? To clarify, its my opinion that we have failed to win "Big Games" because our players aren't as good as the top competition in this division. I believe we need a better roster, which of course is on the coaches. My point was that we didn't get crushed by SDSU because we didn't line up correctly or called the wrong plays. It was because they destroyed us at the line of scrimmage with bigger, stronger and faster players.
I don't disagree entirely, but a coaches job is to make the sum of the parts greater than the individuals. If Saban was the coach of the Hawks since June 1, the Hawks would have beaten SDSU, especially coming out of a bye week. Within reason, coaching is far more important in football than the players...again within reason.
I suppose next you will tell me that USD beat NDSU because they now have better players then the BISON...

When we played SDSU, Nick Saban could have been our coach and the result would have been the same. We need NDSU to cough up the ball a couple times to have a chance. Otherwise they will man handle us up front and Miller will run for 150. It is always about the line of scrimmage.
I hope this comment was a massive exaggeration. You are basically stating that coaching doesn't matter and that Bubba is no different than Saban.
