Very little knowledge available for pre-season polls, just opinions based on history.

1. Really perplexed about how poor our pass defense is - but it goes back to depth losses in the off season I suspect. 2. While short timers don't remember, it wasn't that long ago that a swing pass or short pass was not automatic like it is now. 3. In the past 10 years there have only been a handful of times where I thought UND had the better QB on the field, that has changed. 4. As the football saying goes - Offense, Defense, Special Teams - if you win in two out of three of those you probably win the game. This year that has proven to be true. 5. Prior t the season I saw a clear path to 7-4 and the playoffs and we are on track.

Well I guess I shouldn't believe everything that is shared on the tailgating lot. It is a nice facility.

Had the time, nice time of year for the drive, never been to Youngstown, tailgating is usually fun (and it was), enjoy UND football. The drive home made it seem a bit extravagant, but "Fan" is short for Fanatic!

Just got home from the 1,904 mile road trip. Other than it being a very long drive it was a great weekend. The Youngstown State tailgaters were very welcoming. It is an Italian community so enjoyed a huge gourmet Italian buffet, complete with a lounge lizzard singing Frank Sinatra songs (quite well) in the tailgate lot. Fun to be in the largest FCS stadium in the country. Blocked punt and the screen pass TD were at our end. Lots of player's parents there enjoying the day.

We are 3-2 and ranked, I challenge you to post something positive.

If I gotta choose I'll take the team that doesn't have 49 transfer players.

Eastern Washington looking at least 5 losses, MIssouri State looking at least 5 losses, last year UNI got in with 6-6 - doesn't happen often and if we would have finished 6-6 last year we would have been on the outside looking in. Leave no doubt.

And that if they would have scored on their first drive of second half it would have negated the dominating offensive performance the team put on ;)>

Maag is having the season he deserves, came back for his fifth season (didn't have to), had a tough injury last year. Nice to see his number being called.

Tailgating is usually packed for homecoming. The airplane usually makes an appearance. It is what we make it.

Noticed on the Southern Illinois TV broadcast that their PA announcer was very active leading the crowd all the time. Begging for noise mostly.

Gotta call BS on the "Nobody wants to work" troup.

There is the same issue with substitute teachers, but sports...

Yup I was CC for several years, then they screwed up my football season tickets and I dropped. Never got a call in over 5 years. There is lots of low hanging fruit out there.

Might start something but it's still frustrating the our students have no clue how to create a home field atmosphere other than on third down. Also can't understand how our band and sound system person continue to play their music loud right up to when we snap the ball - you would think someone would have talked to them by now about keeping quiet when we are in our huddle.

Not sure most schools look at discussions about firing a head coach as positive.

So you are allowed your opinion, but anyone who engages to disagree with you with their own opinion is open to criticism from you? You can't have it both ways.

In 2016, the year we won the Big Sky, we won 6 of our games by less than one score - some here would find fault with that.

Also nice to have a running back that doesn't fumble in key situations.

Every year every team we beat suddenly becomes !@#!$. UNI is a perennial playoff team now we hear they are suddenly not.

What did I miss - where is the all conference DB that transferred in from Gardner Webb? (corrected school name)

I don't think visiting teams tailgaters can expect UND to provide them with their own porta potty. Heck last year at Utah State we were a mile from the home team tailgaters, had no garbage cans and were told to find an open campus building nearby for a bathroom (they were all locked).

Hard to believe we have the band and the sound system playing when we are lining up on offense.
