Correct.. for all the hate romfo gets from a few.. offense wasn’t even close to the biggest problem last year.. defense was a dumpster fire. While I still believe Jerry or feeney would have been better last year. The improvement in defense and Eric schmidt is what has made this team a top 10 team

5-2 in 2025.. feels quite a bit different than 5-2 in 2024

The defense makes und football watchable this year

Most of the things people are complaining about are just organization and attention to detail.. the intro is as bad as it’s ever been.. I’m a little tired of complaining about it.. go to a und hockey game.. an ndsu football game.. I’m not sure why the Mickey Mouse crap is tolerated at the und football game. I mean it when I say Davies high school does a better job. I’m in full support of the drone / top gun / aviation idea. they have stepped it up a bit on the clothing available for purchase side of things.. but still pretty mediocre.. Coors lites are always cold inside so no complaints there either. the alerus itself is a good place to watch football.. exiting the parking lot is the worst part.. other then that. No real complaints on my side.

first quarter and a half the offense looked brilliant. The offensive play calling was totally bizarre from the 2nd half of 2nd quarter to the start of the 4th quarter. I thought the defense played very well overall and our offense hung them out to dry with bad series after bad series. Fruechte needs to figure some things out. CJ didn’t miss any kicks.. even the fg that didn’t count Still fun to beat a team that SDSU struggled against.

It really was about as bad as it gets. I think Davies high school does a better job coordinating the intro.

Send this idea or Erik Martinson.. although according to his previous response he believes it’s already fine

I use Spotify.. it’s also on SoundCloud or something also.

If you aren’t excited about UND football after listening to coach schmidty on the undfootball360 podcast.. I don’t know what to tell yah. Guy is dropping some nice knowledge and even answering a couple fan questions. A little insight into the playing time for ziebarth.

You guys would all like to listen to the Hawk talk podcast from yesterday. I listen to it on iHeart but there are prob other apps. Schmidty talked a ton about how great Jerry has been in spring and fall camp and then to this point in the year. He mentioned JTJ as the backup and didn’t bring up QB3 one time. I really enjoyed listening to him break down the defensive strategy. Pretty cool.

What the data above really shows is that our offense has not been the problem and it looks like it’s on track to be even better this year. If Schmitty can keep the defense rolling we have a real chance.

My guess is you are both missing the point right now.. if @jdub27 thinks our kicking has been decent then you need to roll in fgs as well as xp.. FG has been terrible this year. Clearly over the last 3 years xp has been solid. CJ was quite decent last year. I thought he would be better this year.. he hasn’t been. for @SIOUXFAN97 to say the special teams sucks.. at least this year the data doesn’t come close to bearing that out. Punting has been good/great.. punt blocs have been awesome.. kickoffs have been good.. but the kicker has struggled. personally I’m just hoping the kicking game improves to the point that I can beat the rush to the coors lite sales guy instead of holding my breath and hoping.

Who are the duckies and bunnies that you are claiming are sticking up or making excuses for our kicker?

Who has said that?

A goal for und football should be to make the PAT boring again. I can’t leave my seat to grab a beer until after the attempt is completed.. the alerus could increase beer sales by sponsoring the kicking game NIL.
