No one is saying to change back to Fighting Sioux, but they can and should sell more merchandise.
I'd guess there's a formal or informal limit on how much Sioux merch we can sell and still be seen as having changed our nickname.

We had a weak woke president that chose not to fight the matter. There most definitely was a choice.
I grew up in GF area, played for the Sioux and was a militant 'keep the nickname' guy until it just wasn't worth what it was going to cost. I also have a house full of Sioux stuff that will last me as long as I am on this earth.
They fought it to tune of millions of dollars but it became untenable by the end. The pain that was going to be imposed went way beyond any potential gain by keeping the nickname. I believe we got jobbed on playoff seeding or left out completely as punishment in multiple sports.
If we'd have chosen a better nickname like Nodaks, I think the transition wouldn't be such a big deal.

Scare Tactic. If the Gophers don't want to play us anymore, I don't really care. Most overrated weekend of the year. The Ralph is packed for every home game, we don't need them to sell tickets. Plenty of other team we can schedule.
Beside we are not keeping the Fighting Sioux name, so it is irrelevant. We are selling Vintage merchandise.
I think the Big Ten was in unison on that. Football will play or has played Nebraska, MN, Iowa for $$ games. Men's and women's basketball has played Big Ten teams too. Plus we'd write off the chance of ever hosting a home playoff game per the NCAA.
I loved the Fighting Sioux name but it's gone and not coming back.

Of course we can get better, we must.
I’m not sure I have read or heard that Schmidt has “endorsed” anything. I have no idea what Isaac will do, nor what he learned, nor what he will learn between now and next year if he is here.
All results are the ultimate responsibility of the HC.I'd really like to see us hire a QB coach with experience, unless we have someone on staff that I'm not aware of.

Are there ways to get out there from NYC without renting a car? Not familiar with that area at all
Looks like you can take the train and get fairly close and then taxi. We took the Long Island RR to Stony Brook which is about an hour farther away from NYC. Went from Penn Station and had one train change along the way but was pretty easy.

UND adds 12th and final game to the schedule. Long Island University home and home ..
Was hoping for a bigger name but this will do. Long Island University did beat Eastern Michigan (FBS) last season and is an up and comer …
Would be a fun trip. Went to Stony Brook a number of years ago for the game. Was a good excuse to see NYC and have a weekend getaway on top of the game.

Every year when a couple good UND players enter the portal, we all often freak out, which is probably normal. But its never really been a huge landslide of important players leaving, even under Bubba. I could be wrong, but I think most if not every year.....in the end we came out as a net positive in the portal, or at least even. I'm sure it will eventually happen where we end up in a worse spot, but thinking more times than not it will be a net positive...especially under Schmidt, and now with all of the nice facilities.
Some guys over the years will probably jump to FBS, it'll happen. Just dont want really good players to go to another FCS team.
I'd like to see some more "Hey, we're coming back" posts like we got from the OL from guys like Jerry, Lance.........

Couple of confirmed visits starting today:
It is quite telling that we are having visits and not necessarily tying them to big hockey or basketball weekends. If we can get kids to see our facilities and meet with the staff, I think we'll win a lot of recruiting battles.

Quite the opposite. Not good enough. Raise the standard. No more participation trophies.
May be true for some. Seidl, Fleming and Bluiett definitely don’t fit into that blanket statement.

Two great young men to build around, including one from … dare I say it …. Detroit Lakes, MN…
Cariveau's father and grandparents from EGF so the Eastsiders happily claim him too.

Isaac Cariveau and Grant Noland both on FCS Freshman All-American team.
I learned at the HOF weekend that Grant Noland is grandson of Terry Noland who was D Coordinator at UND 1980-83 and then had a long successful career as HC at Central Missouri . Their fb office complex is named for Terry. Terry was well liked and charismatic at UND and very good coach.

His Twitter still says WSU. Maybe he's staying there?
How did their season go offensively? Interesting that Rogers went with a different OC at ISU.

Would love to have him one more year at UND. Good luck to him, but I believe he’s making a mistake. Path is open for Deng Deng now and several other receivers (not currently on the roster) who want to make plays.
Need 2-3 big time new receivers, a running back, and another quarterback…
Transfer portal here we come …
Can we dispense with the 'heartfelt' love letters when players leave a school?
They all do it but if they were believed all of what they post they wouldn't be leaving.

It’s hard for me to pretend that we can keep our players if FBS schools really want them. Minimum $3M for a middling program like MN to retain 3 players. Can’t believe this is sustainable in long run.

It used to bother me because I felt that they were betraying their teammates, coaches, the support staff that helped them with logistics and academics and The Flagship, now I'm numb to it, which is probably a good thing.
Unfortunately I’m still in stage 1 and it still bothers me.

Anyone can find Schmidt's post game comments on YouTube.
As to losing the identity he meant the running game and how that redressed over the season. Sawyer also said that in the last few game they couldn't get 6 yards running on first downs.
A lot of regression with the offense late in the year. Play calling, QB play, OL effectiveness. It all contributed to the downturn.

No one told our player to do that. His mistake was he was running toward the punter and jumped up to block the kick and landed on the blocker. That is also a penalty. It looked worse cuz blocker upended him. Still a penalty on us.
You tend to assume every mistake by a player on special teams is a coaches fault. It isn’t. Just in case you want to blame Kostich for the fake punt, he doesn’t make that call, even if he thought it would work.
Per Herald article Schmidt says they coached this point a lot. He falls on the sword but.........
"We've talked about those things in fall camp," Schmidt said. "You can't leap the shield. You could run through the shield. You can't jump over it. As soon as I saw it it, it was like you can't do that. We've got to do a better job of coaching that. It's obviously not something we asked him to do. It was in the heat of the moment."
