Wow SDSU also has a better homer on the Midco broadcast than UND does.That color guy is all SDSU, only time he got quiet was when UND made their run.

My post wasn't a diss just sharing some thoughts - it has been a struggle the past few years to fill the seats (I blame the Millenials (joke).

UND fans better step up or we will be surrounded by yellow in our own building. Ticket office needs to pull what SDSU does to make sure UND fans get first dibs. Although I loved sitting next to a pompous SU a** the last time we played them in GF. He got pretty quiet.

Really respect the time and effort both Pearson's invest in this but it seems the last year or two has been a struggle to fill: cheap gas, team is not inspiring, someone has to sit in front of the toilet, over indulgers making numerous trips to bathroom on the way home, perhaps this has run its course. Don't hate on me, just sharing thoughts. God bless Al.

The popularity in golf is declining world-wide. Golf courses are closing every day due to lack of players. It is not a game that has much of a future once the babyboomers are done playing. Why are fewer Americans playing golf? There are three main reasons. First, golf’s calm pace may no longer fit in with modern lifestyles. It can take more than four hours to play a full round of 18 holes. And disappearing to the golf course for half the weekend is not compatible with modern attitudes to child-rearing. Second, while golf may have managed to shake off some of its elitist image, America’s troubled economy is once more making it a pursuit of the wealthy. Middle and lower-income golfers have seen their pay packets shrink, hurting membership numbers at mid-range golf courses. Some public courses have been closed by local governments making spending cuts. Third, golf has become harder to play. Since the 1990s golf-course designers have taken to building longer, tougher courses in order to put golfers and their equipment to the test. The sport’s growing difficulty and its 200-page rulebook make it a tough sell to new players.

You can bet that SU "Mom" is getting talked to by some Bizon zealots and she will stop talking.

Do we really need a guy that played like he was wearing mittens and bolted from our program a year early bringing those skills and attitude to our team?

This has been suggested numerous times to no avail. Some people are just negative, "Fire" threads do nothing for the programs and they certainly have no impact on a coaches tenure along with hurting recruiting.

That works except what made the Nickle trophy special was that at one time there was an actual US coin with a bison on one side and a native american on the other so it does lose some of its uniqueness - still a coin works and perhaps the schools could mint a smaller version as something we could buy.

We had the player talent to make the playoffs this year.

If UND beats NA that would have been us in Fargo, with likely a similar result. Still would have helped the program grow I feel.

I don't think casual fans follow the program close enough that a change in the OC would impact their ticket purchase decision. A 6-5 season is going to lose some bandwagoners and it will take a good year to get their excitement back. That would also coincide with joining the MVFC and having some opponents that people care about on the schedule. So a decent year next year (with a tough schedule) sets the table to sell more season tickets in 2020.

Love it, always felt that missing out on individual conference awards was a tough sacrifice for our guys, I know it is a team game but this helps.

Next steps in ranting: Process is not visible I do not trust they tried to get strong candidates Process was too visible so really good candidates in established programs were afraid to apply Process was too internally focused to get good candidates from outside Process was too externally focused we didn't give current staff with potential a chance Process took too long we need staff now Process went too quickly we should have at least known who was out there. Chaves needs to make the decisions he has connections Bubba needs to make the decisions it is his staff (and neck on the line).

So other than Chaves saying "Just as we do at the end of every season we sit down with the head coach and review what needs to be addressed" what do you expect him to say?

So there are some that believe UND can afford to eat 3 years of the head football coach's salary? We are not Notre Dame. And do we really need to continue with all the "then you are settling for mediocrity, etc". UND has been slashing budgets in every EDUCATIONAL department at the U - which is their primary mission. Hopefully changes will be made - but you gotta believe they will be made within a constrained budget.

Remind me about the time anyone said they were satisfied with our offence against Portland State.

From the Department of Repetition Department: I think we get it that there are some here who want Bubba gone - but what they don't get is that it is not going to happen after this season for numerous reasons. There are a few on this staff where a legitimate case could be made for making changes. The reality is we are on the verge of making the playoffs with a good chance to host that game. The other reality is there are some on here that hope that doesn't happen.

The Adidas screw up makes sense but how long does it take to make 15 umiforms?

It was said during broadcast that this is the onky uniforms they have right now. Really! Budget issue, poor planning, they make it so easy to pit the luxuries afforded the hockey team to every other program.

Nope, there are no toe to toe points even for UNI.

Painful to remember how the committee moved the bar depending on which teams they wanted to be able to justify over UND - for some it was quality losses, for others it was strength of schedule, for others it was injured players. On the other hand when the decision to leave UND out was put under the microscope UND and its fans weren't the only ones that were able to see and admit that we got the shaft (except for the Scream Yellow Trolls).

Pretty sure all the other 7-4 teams will have similar resumes, UND just won't have any supporters in the decision room.

It is not the band, it is the audio tech in the production booth usually. I cannot believe there is no one in that booth that understands football enough to have them stop playing the music when UND is in their huddle.

We know that genuise like you would just seed the entire MVFC every year. You cannot seed on previous seasons. you lose 5 games you should drop from consideration. It is an imperfect, political, process decided by a roomful of biased reps with blinders on. A 7-4 independent team with its FCS losses being by one score probably deserves to make a field of 24. Your screaming yellow hate is showing.
