Score a lot offense. Don't punt......please.....

Excited about the new QB recruit. With a bunch of FBS schools hoping he'd play defense there is always the possibility if the QB thing doesn't work out he could go on the defensive side of the ball. Or he'd just transfer out with the way things work in college sports nowadays.

"Here is your Wednesday night home game, hope the tailgating rocks!"

Gotta go 3-1 or we don't deserve to be in the postseason. Maybe they surprise us and beat the Jacks and Yotes being they are in the friendly confines. SDSU isn't nearly what they were the last two seasons, thought the Yotes should've beaten them. At the same time 1-3 is still very much on the table....heck 0-4....

I can't imagine the kind of reply one might get from him. "We are diligently working "day by day" towards the construction of a successfully competitive football team not only in the Missouri Valley Conference but on a national scale as well. Coach Schweigert is working steadfast in his approach and going forward he has my full backing and the full backing of everyone at the University of North Dakota. We are proud of what our student athletes have accomplished on and off the field under coach Schweigert and know that we can get this built "brick by brick". We appreciate your unwavering support for our athletics teams here at the University of North Dakota! Great tickets still available for the South Dakota games, go Hawks!"

You would wish the team would be ultra focused on this game, and play out the rest of the season as if each game was a playoff game, but we know that isn't the case with what we've seen in the past. A positive going into the game is that our QB play is trending upwards. Simon was in complete control on the plays he was on the field....(see what I did there). This is another not good team that UND shouldn't lose too, but we are what we are on the road. Offensively do they go with more of a ball control approach to keep our defense off the field (Bubba ball....gasp), or do we know that we'll have to score at least 45 to win the game? I've got no clue on the score. Probably a lot of points as our defense isn't interested in stopping anyone on the road.

They were pounding the rock.....pounding it.... But you can't lose to Idaho State at home.....

The 2016 Stony Brook game..... 13-9 loss because our offense under Rudy at times was as high octane as two tortoises getting it on. We are going to win 9-7 because their coach was very much Bubba ball too and loved him a good "punt is a good play" game too. I just checked and UND punted 8 times. Unfortunately we lose on a blocked punt TD in the 4th quarter. UND was marching in the 4th but The Manitoba Moose is stopped on 4th and 1 and we couldn't get it back, not like it would have mattered.

2015....we start the year beating Wyoming.....barely beat Drake....but we do... Then we play the Bizen and put up 61 yards of total offense....61 yards...I'll never forget how little we tried on offense that game....

My favorite memory from that season was the USD game. We were ranked #10 in the country and just got smacked by Chris Streveler and the Yotes. The next week we were ranked #17 playing against Montana State....we weren't ranked after that.... We had a three game stretch where we gave up 142 points....and a five game stretch where the least amount of points we gave up was 38....

I don't mind starting TJ, but you are right. Gotta get Hobie in the net. And at some point portal goalie has to stop.

The Bizen running Luepke over and over and over right up the gut.....couldn't stop it..... Over....and over.....and....

Maybe apples to bananas....but. Cant remember the year. We played Bowling Green. Two point at the end. It's an FBS game. Get the thing to OT.....Our defense was okay that day......

A square shot to the nuts that beating the Bizen was our "superbowl"...... Indiana State game that went to OT last season.....

Didn't the Moorhead running back fumble that game too? Like when we were running the clock out?

.....

Yesterday hurt, they all do. Let's have a circle on this.....let's talk about our feelings. I'll start with some moments I can't get over. First memorable Bubba moment was the NAU game which was a must win with the Moose and Santiago playing in their last possible game in 2018. I've never seen a team look less interested in what was a pretty important game....laid an egg...multiple eggs.... Second one is 2016....the Richmond game....up big in the 2nd half. They are punting out of their end zone and the guy with the snake roughs the punter.....at the end we decide to not just let them score a TD and they kick an extra point field goal to win it...... Honorable mention was Northern Iowa's linebacker rushing for a bunch against us last year..... See, I feel better about it already....

I can't imagine this list.....talk about digging up some moments.... Someone needs to do it.

The way the kid played Simon wasn't going to let the game die in his hands. He was going to find a way. Ball is on the 3 yard line, Q is the 1 yard guy... Not having the most important guy all night on the field at the end of the game is just stupid. Another moment in a long line of what the hell moments with Bubba on the road. We are back to Mussman era defense....

And an extension?

Indiana State gave up 43 rushing yards to this QB. Sad state of affairs defensively. We let a 2-6 team run for 300 plus. Here we go down the road of gotta win X of the last games just to make the playoffs. They've got to win 3 of their last four to go on the road and lose in the playoffs.....great.

Turnovers will kill ya. That's the lesson from this weekend. This split feels much different than the split last weekend.

Here is the game right here...unreal.

4-3.....still battling.

Can't say enough about Romfo today. The kid was fantastic in a game where his defense had more holes than Swiss cheese.
