I always think the SIUs coaching staff familiarity with the/our 3-4 puts a lot of pressure on our offense to have to score. Would love to see Isiah have a game like last year I think today is Red’s big day and we find another way to win by 4. 34-30

Does it not feel like #15 Javon Williams has been on that roster for ever?? And he’s only a JR.

That’s really to bad. Only going to see more and more of this. He would have had every opportunity to post numbers this year with teams throwing away from CJ. Wish him well

Having both teams ranked for upcoming home games will go a long ways getting fans to the games. Would be really nice to be ranked in the top 10/15 when the puck drops. When you are in the same state as a team consistently in the top 5, not being ranked is not the best look. So while it’s easy to just say “just win” and the polls take care of themselves, writing them off as meaningless is pretty short sighted for the importance to the casual fan.

Great to win those. Years past we lose this game, kill fan interest depending on the outcome of another game tonight. Found a way to win.

Great news. Looking forward to seeing him back out there.

They may want to be sure the product in the field is consistently meeting expectations before making that change. I could see more seats opening on the west side of that happens. You may get some people to slide over but I wouldn’t want to pull too many season tickets holders out of the sections from the 20 in, the Alerus will always have problems filling those. Do they want more “need a good walk up crowd” for seats to be full? Don’t make another catwalk decision you can’t go back on.

But we didn’t and won……

When we win- The team we beat had zero talent and the only reason they made plays was because of how bad of a team we have.

Me raise expectations??

I don’t think many other college QBs we face the rest of the year during the regular season can make the throws that guy for UNI made today. Huge arm and was pretty accurate. That will help some. We also will likely play one other o line as physical as today. Certainly won’t see a combination of the two. my thought on today is this win will look really good as the year plays out. If UNI stays healthy they are a good football team. They may not get their first win until two weeks from now but could win out the rest of the way

I worry It’s going to be a tough one up front for us. Excited to see what we have and hoping to leave pleasantly surprised. 24-13 UNI

I also think they are good enough in the secondary that they will be bringing pressure. Defense needs to play lights out. A few turnovers could help.

I think this would drive additional attendance if they got the word out.

UNI will have a some urgency here as well. Follow up the game in Grand Forks with a huge home game vs Sac St. (who I think makes a run this season) A loss in Grand Forks and they could be 0-3 (and ranked in the top 25).

I’d argue you really could get by with 8 which we have been close. Few, if any teams have 10. Safety I can agree with. We have been a bit thin for years.

I don’t think a team ever stops building depth so the fact we were saying the same things 5 years ago isn’t surprising.

I have a feeling Nebraska was running up the score either way if given the opportunity. Coaching staffs leash isn’t long enough whether they won or lost last week to simply beat UND by two scores

Lynch is already out of the league

It’s really not deflection. Of all the guys drafted his year or after all but one are still in the league. Would you put money down on who is next?

My response is he is on his 3rd team in 6 years. He is nearly interchangeable with most on that list.

Most on that list? That’s a strong stretch.

Consistent seasons and selling more tickets would do wonders for that budget

If I am understanding everything I have read so far- Increased $$$ amount, increased coverage into Twin Cities, increased amount of televised games, better radio coverage (if Fargo is figured out), a dedicated football guy that can easily do other sports and was the best TV guy for our in state rival, planned improvements to infrastructure air televising other events. When does the bluff get called?
