Bison have got almost every call
SDSU not the same team as last year
-
When was the last November sellout?
-
So all of you who responded feel the coach should be canned whenever the team is behind????
-
As crazy/angry it sometimes gets here on the FB side it’s nothing compared to hockey where a 2 goal deficit in a game brings calls for the coach’s head.

Quick 2024 summary at midway point:
Positive Surprises:
- Running game with New Coaches Fruechte and Coach Olson
- Bo Belquist. Stud.
-Won 4 in a row at home, including a win versus a ranked Montana team.
Disappointments:
- Defense is horrendous. First time defensive coordinator is not doing his job. Defensive head coach is not doing his job. I’m not gonna get down on the players. They were recruited to play here, and they’re student athletes. The coaches are full-time employed adults, and they’re once again outdated and outmatched
- Passing game. Nice story with Class B North Dakota quarterback getting the start, but he’s not an elite or even above average division I passer.
- road record. Been two tough matchups, but once again, road team looks completely different than their at home in the Alerus Center counterpart. Again, coaching failure.
- Loss to NDSU. It’s not so so much the fact they lost the game, as much as it is how they lost the game. Complete embarrassment. Coaching failure once again. Many programs around the country, if held to a high standard, would not put up with this. You can say that NDSU is a powerhouse in defense of your buddies, but the fact of the matter is you have to be competitive, even if you’re up against it. See Auburn vs Alabama. See early years of SDSU vs NDSU. Even if one of the rivals has the upper hand in funding and following and tradition and history, etc., you simply still have to make wholesale changes if necessary to compete with your rival.
After six games, this team is 4-2, but I largely see this as the same ol’, same ol’, same type of team that Bubba Schweigert has put together during his tenure. I’m guessing this team is probably going to be fighting to even win one playoff game this year, once again, but I hope I’m wrong. Consider me the eternal pessimist, which I’m already probably known as on this site, but I personally see it as being just a realist set in reality (despite what I want to happen). Wake me up when we have a new head coach.
You make some good points.
The D needs bigger MEN on the frontline. I believe a starting guard played D in HS but switched to O. Why? The D needs more beef.
I think the O will be fine notwithstanding the concerns at QB

What is odd is it seems like we have brought in what seems like very good QB's and they are getting beat out. I thought Vaughn was supposed to be very good and he got beat out by someone we brought in last minute that only had D2 offers. Schuster turned out to be a solid QB, but not someone that was going to lead us to a NC. Now we have a PWO in Romfo that is beating out Feeney and Jerry, to guys that were highly thought of. Are we not developing these guys?
UND could have had Tom Brady at QB the last few years but would not have won a NC with that Defense.
-
Any news on injuries?
-
Does Jerry play in the first half?

Listen to Isaac.
Not the usual coach speak, and he’s still keeping a positive attitude.
wish someone asked. “How much easier is it going against the UND D in practice than against a tough defense in games?”

Why isn't there more pressure on Chaves to demand excellence in our programs?
This is a valid point.
How many Conference or National Titles have happened on his watch.
He's at fault here.

Don’t want Kai or deng in a game like this

Was the plan to let a great QB stand back in the pocket where he has sufficient time to right sonnets to his girlfriend as he orders a reservation at a local restaurant while surveying the field for open receivers?

Rucker was an impact player a couple games ago by getting to the QB.
Last 2 games he’s been dropping back in coverage more.
Why?

At least a quarter of the posters here seem to think Dan Marino is withering away on the bench.
I'd say that's good recruiting.

Why is everyone so down on trick plays. Every time it was successful it brought the crowd into the game and even on one occasion landed on Sports Center. That's good exposure
Plus I bet there were less TP's than people think. I can't recall any last season.

Why must we go back twenty years? Why can't we live in the now?
Just be proud that you're the best bicycle QB Scout in America.

I know he was not favored by many on this Forum, but just look at how happy the rest of the team is for him.
It appears he's earned their respect if not the posters here.

Anyone know the winning percentage when the Alerus has more than 10,000?

eventually (maybe as early as saturday) some d coordinator is gonna say wtf........send 8 and man on man outside and see what happens....
obviously the talk of the season so far is putting 4 new o-lineman out there and they seem to be holding there own....but EVENTUALLY you have to throw the ball downfield and i just don't see simon being that guy doing that.
if us not being able to throw then means we are running into a stacked box and we can't runnnnnnnnnn.....what's left? (special teams??)
They did exactly that and UND scored 52 points. Yes the D scored and gave the O great field position, but O did it's job.

C'mon man, I know you need to be negative about something in a blow out game, but Romfo made some good passes that were downfield.

I think this season will cause people to chat more about UND WBB.
Winning changes everything.

he's a junior....romfo isn't going to become kurt warner now or next year. if you watched the griz game you would know this. randy moss on a fly pattern against the griz and it would land on the catwalk
And Moss would catch it.

2024 Non-UND FCS Thread
in Football

I agree that the NCAA is a money whore and corrupt.
But I also think college free agency is not the answer.
In the near future there will be collective bargaining thereby all but ending amateur athletics. I foresee pro teams getting farm teams like MLB.
This will squeeze out lots of players and teams.
just my opinion
