Saw that only 40% of those entering the portal find a home.

https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/roster/jayson-coley/10935 numbers were ordinary on a bad defense, might be a mutual decision.

Not possible (assuming you were joking). Somewhat related UND owns the trademark to Fighting Sioux, but they do not own the trademark to Sioux, it is too general of a name.

We had the chance to vote that in, would have been unique, nostalgic, but the students didn't like it, the consultants knew if they put "fighting" in front of anything the students would go for it. Now students find it trendy and cool. Perhaps in the future we'll get a revote once everyone on campus is wearing NODAK clothing.

Gotta remember teams threw at will against us, thus the rushing yards statistic. Our pass rush was non existent, which was totally unexpected - that can change with one player.

Interesting to see so many fans tweeting on transfer portal announcements as they are made (not referring to UND fans, just fans of schools in general trying to influence). Actually it is an NCAA violation for a fan of a team to interact with a potential recruit (this includes tweeting). I suppose that is never enforced though - it would be impossible to monitor.

The elephant in the room is the way our Champions Club operates vs su's Team Makers

However Weber was 9-2 so we would of still been hosed.

Based on the seeding and placement criteria, it seems going 8-3 would have had us in the exact same situation.

St. Cloud is a college town as with most there are pros and cons, some like to exaggerate the cons, others enjoy the pros. SCSU is in a downward spiral as far as students and funding. In the last two decades interest in the hockey program has waned, despite them having successful seasons most years. They've made some clunker decisions that have alienated them in the community (eliminating Homecoming - which they brought back after a few years), eliminating football, student issues in off campus housing. Also it's tough to compete against St. John's which seems to have a protective dome over them when it comes to their issues.

Administration threats of cuts to ndac athletic programs are on the table (which hopefully will keep the trolls on their own site). Or perhaps based on their ethics, it was just a ruse to pull more dollars out of TM pockets - which will work of course.

Projecting the ethical thinking of a true Texan. That SU education working out for you nicely. This board has nothing to do with UND but then again that would require reading.

Actually a destination bowl game at the end of a season sounds fun - of course we could end up in Detroit.

Love everything about this - would love even more with a couple of paragraph breaks .

Can the threads be called "Transfer Portal Bad News" and "Transfer Portal Good News" so I can choose which one to read first.

Garet doesn't drop that TD pass for one. Tommy had one of his worst games of the season - he would have been better on home field.

We were told we would never be competitive in the MVFC, third season and we are #3. It is BS to say the conference is down this year. If you really follow the team you get to know some of the parent's of the players and you hear how much they support Bubba and the staff and how much their son is enjoying his time at UND. Of course there are exceptions but the overall vibe you get from the parent's is positive. Most would never come to this site and I'm quite certain they would be perplexed of the negativity they would read (from a minority thankfully).

Yup noticed quite a few penguin walks at Youngstown - If you don't do it in an opponents face or to their bench it's all in fun I guess.

John Boy off his meds again?

Well they are consistently inconsistent. SOS ignored when it comes to helping UND or hurting Montana. Youngstown State had a better resume than Montana.

Didn't that just happen last year to us?

In 2015 when Western Illinois got in with 6-5 over 7-4 UND, the committee matched them up with a cupcake to help support the decision.

The opinions expressed here are light years from the opinions of the players and their parents.

Just confirming this is a UND fan thread

Did not take long for UND to get to top tier in MVFC, unfortunately there is a big gap between #3 and #2. We gotta continue to raise the level of our lineman.
