Dave Gunther built his career and became a UND legend by preaching "hustle and defense win". That's what I see Hutter bringing to this team.

We win YSU and IS (both defense fails against lesser teams) and we are fringe playoff. Like to think the coaching change would have happened anyway.

You can block them, done it several times, but when they are quoted you will still see them.

Hoping Dennis has a breakout season, looking back he was hung out to dry many times with passes that weren't there. I trust the coaches to put the players on the field who give us the best chance to win. I hope the new system gives more players time on the field when it matters and that the players really "buy in" to the system which means if you don't start you understand you keep working and you don't give up and head to the portal.

Not gonna make it - weddings in the fall should not be allowed - just elope.

The NCAA is corrupt and will slap UND into the corner if they tried it, which they won't.

Agreed, there will always be headscratchers like how does Youngstown and Southern Illinois get the benefit of the doubt but not UND? Having attending nine games last year if our defense could have made one or two plays we would have easily been 7-5 - those plays will be made this year.

I'd like to see the students (and the University) put as much energy into the football program as the hockey program. And by students I mean more than just creating a huge pile of trash in the parking lot and leaving at halftime. It's doable.

You would think UND would promote this to everyone who donates through all channels - including 1883.

Was told by the parents of one of our specialists is that Kostich told their son that he wants to find his guy for each position and build on them. No matter what you think of Kostich IMO our special teams are pretty good and have helped win games over his tenure.

I like wearing kelly green glasses but realistically would be satisfied with an improvement over last year and a surprise top 4 finish. As Dave Gunther said "hustle and defense win" they might be able to steal a few games if they achieve that. Long term I'm just fine. Grand Forks is willing to come out for a winner so hopefully the fans return over the next few years.

A very enjoyable obituary. He did have a room filled with mounted wild game. I'll be attending the celebration of his life in full Sioux attire.

I agree however the guys running the podcase from their basements have proven they like to diss UND whenever possible. As I shared there are teams with worse records than us in that list - the only thing they have done to elevate themselves is on paper - and not being UND. Also agree that pre-season polls means nothing they are just filling time.

Think he had a few dings so they were trying to limit the hits. It worked out.

Another thing is that teams knew how to prepare for Bubba's teams and the strong to comparable teams did. They won't have any tape on this year's team until deeper in the season. Losses to lower tier schools are flipped (like Youngstown State and Indiana State last year) and we are 7-5, squeak out one more and we are back.
