"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.

Could be four teams at 7-4 in MVFC and SU could be the odd man out based on head to head and SOS. If UND finishes 7-4 we should make the cut, barring backdoor deals. Of course 8-3 is still possible to remove all doubt.

Only way we go on the road to SU would be a second round match up. However if both teams are 7-4 UND would be the higher seed and host. I see there are several teams playing the "our best players are hurt" card. Selection Committee Chairman said in an interview that sometimes that does come into play.

Now would be a good time to sign up for Midco Sport Plus. The UND/MS game is on. You could watch SDSU boat race NDSU and the UND MBB and WBB season is just starting. We need to support them more than ESPN+ .

Do I have this right - Offense scored 30 points in regular, drove 50+ yards in 50 seconds to tie the game and won it in overtime and some are saying the issues are our offense and QB ?

The Committee owes us a home game. Both they and Patty know it. SUs Larson is under the microscope. She already called him incompetent out loud.

Scored 33 on a team that USD scored 17 on. Drove the field to score the game tying score in 50 seconds. Side stepped a blitzing linebacker in OT to throw the winning score. Not thinking the issue is our QB.

As we know the most popular player on a football team is the backup quarterback and the most knowledgeable coach is the one in the lazy boy on the Internet.

The carpet in the UNIDome is the same as in the DakotaDome so some expert here please share their source on "wearing the wrong shoes". We've played in the DakotaDome several times in the past few years.

You obviously weren't around when not so long ago a 5 yard swing pass was 50/50. Never thought I'd see the day that a "fan" b*tched about an upcoming game we are expected to dominate.

24 hours has passed, move on.

Sources? Your thoughts on any recruit that is so shaky they would decommit after one loss?

Are you claiming we are losing recruits based on this season, or the previous game?

Pre season this game was 50/50 on my schedule, NI has a strong home field advantage history. Joining the MVFC puts several drivable away games on the schedule every year. It also replaces meaningless Portland State games with Northern Iowa. There was a great contingency of UND fans at this game. Huge tailgate spot (mostly due to player parents but ordinary fans also, impressive). 8/3 still achievable. I will be at every remaining game as I choose to support the team in person rather than cheap shot on the Internet. Rough game, head scratcher, gotta move on and enjoy the season for what it is - games played by student athletes.

There is a potluck tailgate organized by player's parents. Five hour drive, I'm in.

It's been more than 20 years since UND lost at UNI - just sayin.....

Actually su being owned by UND the last decade in DII was one of the reasons they mooooved up.

By "SU" I meant ndsu.

I like the take but doubt it. UND has good tailgating but SDSU has great tailgating. I was at SU tailgating three years ago and it was bigger than UNDs. UNDs is still run as an afterthought.
