I take credit for this one. I left the game to head to Playmakers after the 3rd Q. Had I gone down at halftime, UND may have won by 20.

Hawks 42-YSU 17

Score now?

Plus the other part of most bowl games is the teams have to purchase a ton of tickets and most do not make money on the bowl game. Maybe heading to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl is how UND fans want to spend The week before Christmas but it’s not for everyone.

Saw something yesterday that suggests he’s a 5th round pick.

Impressive. Tomorrow I shall attend the TLM at St Stanislaus Church in Warsaw.

While you're probably right about the teams likely to go FBS, there's still going to be a large number that don't move up. Where is the money coming from for stadium renovations and NIL? Would it be so bad to stay in the FCS? Is it really better to try to make it to the Tidy Whitey Toilet Bowl some year?

No offense, but this is missing the biggest point: A Saban staff recruits an entirely different type of player. We are comparing apples to oranges. Would anyone want a Scott Frost here? He did well at UCF, not well at his alma mater. I see former USC Coach Clay Helton went to Ga Southern. They are FBS but haven't been for long.

I know. I just love the Latin. It seems peaceful. Ave Maria.

Love to see someone say Requiescat in Pace.

Earlier in this thread, they were being denounced as overthinking. should have just lined up and handed the ball to Otis. That would have been predictable.

If...and these are mighty big IF's there is no fumble we run out the clock. IF, the D doesn't fall asleep and fail to stop a team from not only scoring 2 TDs but a 2 point conversion late in a game we win. NOT ALL of this is on coaches.

Fair point, but this team beat the team that may have won the title had their QB not gone down.

The same foursome had this team in the playoffs as recently as March.

While others may call this "excuses" I agree with your point. Young guys are doing most of the heavy lifting, They are prone to make more mistakes. I'll be there Saturday to cheer the boys on.

I appreciate the high expectations for UND hockey every season. But... It's one game. It's one game in OCTOBER. Let's not storm the castle.

Fair points and you covered some of the reasons why it's quiet on this front-Hockey and football hold the stage now. Hoping for a surprising season. Lot's of new faces with some old ones mixed in. Hopefully makes for a better than expected season.

No good to hate, just causes negative feelings within, but you're feelings are correct-too many are cheering for him to fail.

There's much doom and gloom on this side of the Forum, but it's Armageddon over on the hockey side.

Looks like it won't be long. I mean if you can't win a game in Nashville you gotta go.

It doesn't take much hope or imagination to see how the last 4 losses could go UND's way next year.

Any redshirts fit that description? Belquist is quick but not fast. Cochran? Move Smith on the perimeter more?

Last week I watched the game on Monday on ESPN plus. They botched it today, but I wonder if they can fix it for the replay.

But they were getting big yards on the secondary all day...or at least through the first half that I was able to watch.

Yep A week ago I was bragging up our secondary. Today, when it counted, they were torched
