Thanks for contributing - prepare to get trashed by the usual suspects.

Unfortunately according to some on this site we are not allowed to enjoy this season.

The Committee does not like getting called out - they have ways of getting payback.

Waiting for claims of "a cover up". Just the beginning.

They went six deep in the MVFC that eliminates a lot of "snub" claims. Since they got caught making backroom deals they toed the line this year. Although one could argue that SU and Montana actually did get sweet seeds.

I saw that Sacramento was one of the last four in, which means UND had some respect in the room, although it probably wasn't Larson.

Logistics with Midco and 6:00 hockey game?

IMO this is a good draw for UND.

No chance we miss. Write it down.

That was click hungry Fargo columnists that said that. There are su fans that believed UND would never beat su again. Gotta ask, if su is UNDs Superbowl but according to su fans it is SDSU that is their Superbowl that means su has lost five Superbowls in a row?

Some forget that this is not Danny's team and Bubba still runs the show. Danny deserves his chance.

If we win we host.

I believe when it comes to "quality losses" the score is not that important, it is more about ranking at the time. At least for other schools.

That is beyond random.

Tommy is running for his life on a majority of the plays, his skills in eluding the rush are so good it goes unnoticed. If we had a pocket passer it would really be ugly.

Just about time for the geniuses to turn their focus on how unhappy they are with the basketball programs.

College football attendance is hard to figure out. Last week attendance at the USD game was what I would consider abysmal for a top 10 team that was 3-8 last year. Last year was the first time in 8 years that FCS attendance was up (5%). If winning could push UND attendance up that same 5% that would only be an additional 500 fans (based on current average of 9,500) hardly noticeable. It's a trend and just about every school is facing it.

Is it realistic to think that UND football could sell out the Alerus every game, we are currently averaging around 9,500 attendance. What percentage of teams in the top 20 sell out every home game - SDSU does not.

"The fan base" spends little time thinking about the football team other than game days. They attend home games which are 99 percent wins. Beating SU was another step. If I was a fan that found no joy in UND football I would find something else to do on Saturdays (and the every waking hour spent spewing negativity on a fan site).

Thankfully UND has fans like you to balance out fans like me.

So far I have made 8 of the 10 games (last year I made 7) The results have not always been to my liking but it's a game to me and I enjoy the tailgating, the road trip and meeting people at the event. I saw 7-4 in this season with a loss to Moo U, so there was a step up. Of course I would like better but I still enjoyed the season because every year the number of seasons I have left to enjoy goes down by one.

This what the MVFC is, the most difficult conference year in and year out.

I was there for the USD blow out in 2017 I'll be there this year. If it's the same layout they have a nice mowed field for day-of tailgating and there was a good number of UND fans. The odds are against us, but that is why they play the game.

Prior to the start of the season 6-3 is right where most would have seen this team. FCS game does not count against us and our two losses are "quality losses" in the eyes of the committee. Even if we split, based on Montana hosting a first round last year, UND should be hosting first round.

Will it take a change in the head coach for us to move away from the 3-4 defense? Just seems difficult to recruit the personnel to make it dynamic.
