So we all know NDSU has had a filthy defense basically every year since 2011. Every, single, season, since 2011 they’ve held opponent to an avg ppg under 20. Even last year. 2013 they avg 11.3 pot against…… that’s peak filth. For perspective, we haven’t done this a single time as a D1 program. NOT ONCE.
Our best defensive seasons have been 2011 - 20.4, 2016 - 22.0, and 2020(spring) 21.0. So far we are sitting at 19.5 after giving up 48 to Utah st. 10ppg vs FCS at this point.
What I’m getting at is the fact that our defense has straight up sucked for the entirety of our d1 existence. The corner stone of this program needs to be defense. Wanna see a deep playoff run? The defense better start avg way < 20ppg. Win a title? Get that below 16ppg. NDSU never won a title without doing just that. We’ve got a lot of work to do defensively.
Part of the reason for that is because they've played in a crap conference for the entirety of their DI existence.......

I've said many times, UND should rip off Virginia Techs intro schtick and run out to Enter Sandman. The place would have been in a frenzy this past weekend.
The cup of joe with Loyal Janke and Dale Lennon narrated by Jack Michaels has to go.....

Tommy Schuster and Keaton Studsrud seem to have a lot in common.
They win.
Siouxsports.com hates them.

I was once told that UND lists capacity at 12,283 because that is the number of seats they control and sell. This doesn't include the suites or SRO......

I didn't like going for it in 4th down from our own 20 yard line, but if they would have converted everyone would be saying Bubba and/or Danny are geniuses with gargantuan testicles.
Defense was so impressive today, really fun to watch. Holinka had his guys dialed in nicely.

Both the offensive and defensive lines were overwhelmed. As per usual, this game was won & lost in the trenches. The Utah St. wide receivers blocked just as well as the O-Line and manhandled our secondary on the short throws. I was just as disappointed by how poorly North Dakota tackled.

Thank goodness for having an even number of teams again and the mirror scheduling. Now we know there will always be basketball at the Betty on the weekends during the winter.

2019 ended with a thud. Never too early to look ahead to the coming season.
Since we are moving down to the MVFC, the schedule next year sets up more favorably. Without digging real deep into what every team has returning for players, I see 7 games where UND can be favored, three likely losses, and a pick ‘em.
WIN vs Valparaiso
LOSS at Kansas St
WIN at Youngstown St
PUSH vs SDSU
WIN vs Missouri St
WIN at Western Illinois
WIN at Portland St
WIN vs USD
LOSS at Illinois St
LOSS at NDSU
WIN vs Southern Illinois
The outcome of the SDSU will determine if UND gets a seed and the first round bye that comes with it or if we play on Thanksgiving weekend again.
Hey, I did pretty good! 5-1 against the teams we actually got to play, and I picked them all correctly! I've said all along the move down to the MVFC would set up some favorable schedules!

After reading through both DAE and A. Moody's twitter feeds, I am thinking neither was a huge loss. I was pretty excited to finally get a couple ND kids at UND when they signed. Upon further review, ND kids may not be the asset I once thought they were..........

I was at the game, UND did not get "out-coached".
The game was lost because NDSU's offensive line is much stronger than our defensive line. That is it, that is why, there is no other reason. That was the only difference, and it was glaring. Our defensive front wasn't enough. That's it, case closed.
The officiating was brutal. But had the refs made the right calls (specifically on PI calls), that would not have stopped the NDSU O-Lline and Luepke from running roughshod over us. The incompetent MVFC refs were a factor in this game to be sure. But we still would have lost regardless. NDSU is better in the trenches and that is where it counted on Saturday....

Ox-Cart Trophy.
In the early 1800's, before railroads, area traders, trappers, and farmers moved their product to market along a trail that stretched from the Twin Cities to Winnipeg via Ox Carts. The route went through Fargo and Grand Forks, and was critical to early commerce and the establishment of both cities.
And yes, I am full of exciting facts like this............

I predict an entertaining football game.........

I'm late to the party as usual, but what are viewing options for those not in the Fargo/Grand Forks area? ESPN3 maybe?
I've seen WSPN + and Midco. I'm confused though, why isn't it on KVLY? I thought all NDSU games were on channel 11.......

Seems some of you may need to eat a few plates of crow. That’s all.
Team looks much different. Maybe Coach Baukol just needs more time to develop his players than other strength coaches do. The most recent off-season lasted 15 months, instead of 8 months. Or maybe he had better players to work with, who knows. Players look big and strong now and are performing at a high level. Much more so than in recent seasons in my opinion. Hopefully they can stay healthy too, the season is young......
But I would be happy to eat crow on this subject.....

For two straight weeks, the pass defense has been horrid in the first half. For two straight weeks, halftime adjustments have been made and the D has been phenomenal in basically every aspect in the second half. That is an awesome trend. Holinka has wildly exceeded my expectations thus far as defensive play caller, at least as far as adjusting to what is going on as the game progresses.
I've been a huge fan of Danny Freund since he stepped on campus as QB well over a decade ago as a player. But I wish he would have went to Otis earlier in the game. I still say Otis should get 20+ touches per game.
I love Tommy Schuster's game. He doesn't have the physical attributes that some would like. But he seems really smart, makes good decisions, and has a great temper on the field. Basically, he's played 2.75 games against playoff type teams and won them all. He seems like a gamer.

When was the last time before yesterday that football home attendance was greater than hockey home attendance? I was pleasantly surprised as many fans turned out for football after seeing the struggles hockey has had.
I've been a season Tix holder for hockey since 2006. I wasn't one of the chosen ones to get my Tix for this year which bummed me out. When the singles went on sale for the first hockey game at $100 a pop, it didn't take me long to say no thanks. I have no interest in being gouged that bad by a program I have supported loyally for 25+ years. For me, and probably many others, hockey is somewhat of a social event. I go just as much for the environment as I do for the product on the ice. I'm a fair weather hockey fan, one of many I suspect. It wasn't worth it to me to spend $400 a night for my family to just get in the door, before concessions and all that.
I did get my seats for football and am thankful for it. I don't know what single game seats are going for, but they'd have to be a small fortune for me to stay away.
I think the for the most part, the majority of people that go to UND football games want to watch football. The majority of people that go to UND hockey games treat it like a night club, and the game itself is secondary almost. With all that has gone on the last year, people aren't necessarily ready to incur the expense of "clubbing" at the Ralph. But it is more economical and relaxing to enjoy a good old football game at the Alerus.
My humble opinion anyways......
I do worry about attendance at football one, two, or three years from now. Are we going to come back from this Covid crap? 10,000 in the Alerus has been a big deal during the DI era. Can we get there again? I hope so. I will be one of them......

Was fun to see all the way around. Still plenty to work on, on both sides of the ball. Sammy Fort really stood out to me on defense. Otis should get 20+ carries every game. Although there looks to be plenty of depth at WR, I'm still not sure there is a speedster out there that can stretch the field.

My uneducated guess would be 25% capacity per night.
Cripes I hope you are wrong but you are probably not. If it is safe for the players to be crashing into each other, breathing heavily, yelling, spitting, bleeding, and sweating on one another, then nobody sitting in front of me should really be terrified by me shoveling cheese-curds and Miller Lite down my throat.............

Do we get to go to any of the games? Any word on that yet?

The reopening date for UND's Ray Richards Golf Course still to be determined
QuoteThe nine-hole course, which has been shuttered since the school closed it in 2016, had been targeting a June 1 opening prior to the coronavirus-related shutdown.
Now, with on-campus activities on pause, the status of Ray Richards' opening date remains unclear, said Mike Pieper, UND's Associate Vice President for Facilities.
-
Just curious if anyone knows if Ray Richards is going to be on track to open up as soon as weather allows? Or is it going to take work to make it playable? Or are they going to let it sit empty and unused for another 3 years?
You would think that with golf season approaching there would have been some sort of announcement as to if it is going to open up anytime soon.

I don't follow womens basketball outside of UND, but one would think any successful NSIC head coach would looked at pretty hard.
Tom Miller was interviewed on Dom Izzos radio show this morning, and he mentioned Rico Burkett and Thomas Dryburgh as potential candidates based on ties to UND. Rico is an assistant at Colorado St right now, and Dryburgh is head coach at Wahpeton.
Dryburgh has an outstanding HC record, bit I would think that would be a big jump from JuCo to DI.
