You prediction may be right, UNI lost to them 30-9 last year.

Moral victories suck, but I do agree with your post.

Jerry should be in, I like athleticism at QB. My guess why Simon won out is he is better at the short passing game, and if that is the majority of our passing game. That’s what our coordinator will go with.

Defense should not have give up that 95 yard TD drive. As I think the mentality is control clock, limit possession. We controlled clock, we need a gamer or two for wideout to stretch field.

As I posted with my prediction part, hopefully we see improvement to next week. I do think this will be our offense, where we do short yardage passes against better teams. If your defense is not good, you control the clock and limit other teams posessions. This seems to be the philosophy again this year.

Down 18 and 4th an 15. (analytics?) need a FG some time. However, kicking from the hash is not easy unless they are good. I don’t like the call but I do understand.

Hopefully this is our break! Let’s go D! Please!!!!!

I agree except amend it as inconsistent special teams and a defense that has become more porous for the last few years.

Just when I was thinking defense was about to turn the corner that TD drive happened. O-line is scrapping and good with run, but lack of experience showed on obvious pass situation because of the 3 man rush brought extreme pressure before half. Out D-line needs to be bullies like that on obvious passing situations. FG drive I just wish Romfo would have thrown it out of bounds. (Lack of experience, need to fight another play) If it wasn’t for the sack we may have gotten the first, worked off more clock and got a TD. 2nd half, we will see how our offense adjusts. Defense we need to find ways to get them uncomfortable and throw off their timing.

Now ISU offense off the field that long, hopefully a deflected pass and INT.

Not sure what we will get, my hope is we see great improvement week one to week 2. Tough to beat experienced team like ISU. 9-49 loss. If offense can move ball and defense improved I could see it closer game but still 17-35 loss. Only way we will win is a cleanly coached and played game (no dropped picks!) and ISU looking ahead for next week (go too vanilla on offense) as they play against Iowa.

Colorado’s 3rd down defense reminds me of what I have seen from us the last two years.

GFC (UND Commit) Ethan Thomas was 2 inches shy of state meet record 63-11 and threw over 190 feet to win shot and disc. Today he could win javelin and be the first Thrower to win all 3 in class A since 1915. He has a lot of upside, not sure how long he will stay at UND, I can see Nebraska or other big schools try to land him.

Schiller has quickness and is a state champion 400 meter runner. Most get players to compliment her and be able to play some defense.

2024 UND Football thread may just as well be called. 2024 UND Football who the Hell did We Lose Now thread.

Not sure if it has been posted. Any word on who is the new strength coach?

Not sure if there is change from 8-10 years ago. Someone who experienced the budgeting process said a crazy amount of the sports budget went to hockey (I don’t recall numbers). Judging the lack of change in salaries (head coach to assistants) I doubt it is any different now.

Whoever we get, needs to have the energy and be relatable/find connections to the athletes so we have a chance for a successful season.

If that’s the case. This could be Bubba.

Just when I think things may get better, I get this Michael Scott image.

After watching Montana in The playoffs and some other FCS games. I wish we would gamble on some more FBS players. Fast twitchy guys can make up a mistake quicker in busted coverage and or set the edge/rush quicker. Going after lower level athletes can add depth but not necessarily impact, unless they developed a lot physically after high school.

As a college kid Mad Dog Munski’s outdated cookies from Hugo’s were tasty. He was awesome.

Alternate multiverse, we hired DeBoer 2013, Bubba stays at SIU. DeBoer turns team around and makes playoff 1st year, and makes to National title game. He leaves for a better pay/opportunity after 2015 season. That year Lennon is done at SIU. DeBoer takes most of his staff to that next HC opportunity. Chances are we hire Dale if not Bubba. Dale coaches a few years 5-7 or 7-5 ball and retires. Then AD keeps it in house and hires Bubba 2020 season. We could be in the same place as we are now if we went with DeBoer. This post is mostly jabberwocky on coaching thoughts, but gives the semi-geeky fan something to think about.

If like Sox, I’ll be dead before they win a title in FCS!

Your quote reminds me of a movie
