    Masterful rope a dope coaching by Isaac. 😂

    Hold Ziebarth on the sidelines until the UND fans are ready to storm the sidelines with pitchforks and axes about play calling and then put Z out there like trump card and start doing what everyone has been begging for for weeks.

     

    The first couple of runs by Z was like watching Popeye eat some spinach for the offense. Suddenly everyone had more confidence and strength. 

    Keep thinking we might have won a couple more games if Z had been available all year.  Both SU's were in play with a couple short yardage conversions.

    Well, Jerry has missed open guys like crazy the last 5 games. I can’t blame the coaches for that. A qb has to be able to make certain throws and Jerry short arms half of them. It’s tough to watch. 

    And it's a new phenomenon in second half of the season.  He was very good early on.  It does seem like confidence might be a big part of it.

    No one exactly knows what the future holds, but can’t afford what happened 20 years ago to happen again.
     

    Need to be prepared to act regardless of what presents itself. Need to move up with regional rivals when the opportunity arises. FCS playoffs won’t mean anything if NDSU and SDSU and Montanas aren’t in it. Also, there’s no guarantee that a new subdivision isn’t formed in the future (G5 plus top FCS programs) that still features playoffs. 
     

    All in all, UND and its boosters and supporters cannot afford to be closed-minded … at all. 

    If, and that’s a big if, all of those things happen I’d be on board and we should be ready to move. 
    - NDSU, SDSU, Montana St, Montana all move up

    - new subdivision formed that has playoffs. This has been talked about since Lennon was coaching UND. It was part of the justification for not moving up.  The theory was that a new subdivision was coming so we’d wait for that to shake out first. 25 years later and I don’t think we are any closer to that happening. Haven’t heard anything recently about it.  
    Like I said, I was wrong last time so probably wrong again. just don’t see the appeal and where the money would come from

    Need to expand the booster base or consequences will be detrimental. UND needs to think bigger. Evidenced by comments on this board, the idea that UND can’t or shouldn’t compete with current “FBS” programs (namely G6 programs) is far too prevalent and needs to be worked around by “leadership”. 

    No snark here at all but I truly don't understand the attraction to playing with hopes to get to a low level bowl game. I'd much rather play in the FCS playoffs.  

    I have visions of something like the 2024 Cricket Celebration Bowl (Jackson St vs. South Carolina St) or the Myrtle Beach Bowl (Coastal Carolina vs. UTSA) if you even make a bowl. 

    Help me understand what I'm not getting.

    There will always be a school willing to move up.  Maybe it’s an old NCC school but if we aren’t going to invest in those sports, why does it matter?  Attendance will always be the same.  

    For the remaining Summit schools, any additional money NDSU gets from FBS football will filter to these Olympic sports   You are also competing for fans across the state, why make that easy   

    The approach from the school needs to be you are competing for students.  NDSU isn’t going to do any favors so why make it financially easier? 

    Not sure there will be extra money after expenses to filter down. Entry fee to move up is $5 million up front and costs can only be higher.

    No.  Much rather them stay FCS and get better than them.  
     

    Also it they move up we probably need to also.  FBS football does nothing for me.  My UND interest would severely drop.  Unless FBS splits into 2 totally different divisions and both have a playoff system.  No thanks.  

    I am anti moving up to FBS too.  I don't see the attraction of more far flung teams and games and maybe a low rung bowl game if you're lucky.  I like where we are now with the ability to drive to a couple road games a year if want to. If FBS was to split that would be a different story. 

    I do have to admit that I was against moving to I-AA when the SU's did and I was completely wrong on that so my opinion isn't worth much.

    Yeah, remember when Hromadka had himself a game?  What about Caden Dennis (he's taken some lumps on SS, but he had a good game earlier, too)?  And Deng Deng proved very effective last week.  Now that Ziebarth is back, maybe we can amp up both the run and passing game.  Realistically, good teams should be able to cover 80 yards in 7-10 plays, before you risk something adverse. You can't do that without some chunks.  Yeah, our RBs may break into the secondary every once in a while, but ultimately you need a balanced attack, with the 10-20 yard pass plays giving you 1st & 10 as you march down the field.

    Is Hromadka hurt?  I think I saw #84 jersey on a guy in street clothes on the sideline Saturday.

    what happened to a 4 te  set and the qb telling the d presnap "we're running thru the a gap bitches....see what you got on the next 4 plays bitches"....

    hut hut...go

    Story is when Eden Prairie was in their heyday they snapped the ball on 1 on running plays and 2 on passing plays and didn’t care who knew it.   Suppose could use it to get someone offside late in game in running situations

    He played in the Big 10 and NFL.

    It was suggested on here that he said he didn't care about the people second guessing his goal line calls against NDSU because of he had Big 10 and NFL experience.  Maybe said it at Sioux Boosters.  Just wondering if anybody heard that because my 'source' said he didn't say it there.

    Hopefully Mr. Big Ten/NFL puts his Big Ten/NFL underwear on from now on moving forward. The play calling has been horrendous. 

    What's the story on the B1G/NFL comments?  I think it was stated on here that he said it at Sioux Boosters luncheon.  I asked someone that has been at all of those lunches and is pretty plugged in and he told me it wasn't said there.  To be fair he said he's talked to Ike a few times and he seems down to earth and a good guy.

    Real or urban/GF legend?
