It can be other than that. Maybe it's playing time. That may get a kid to pick a higher FCS over FBS. Just a lot of variables nothing ever says a kid will always pick the FBS over the FCS.
Fully agree. Lots of reasons. Playing closer to home, girlfriend, size of town, school size.........

Bubba had a goal of 7 wins; he said as much.
A goal is not a process or a system.
I think this is a mis-characterization of what he was saying. You really think that since we got to 7 wins so they were satisfied?
That might be what the sound bite was but if you talked with him or anyone on the staff and they had a chance to elaborate they would tell you something like:
We knew the minimum needed to make the playoffs was 7 wins so that was the bottom line goal and then we'll get after it in the playoffs from there.

I wouldn't call rolling on the foam roller stretching, but that's just me.
Honestly visually they looked slow and this is right before spring ball when guys have been lifting and doing "speed" training. The times were slow as well (if I'm not mistaken I think hand and a system were taken).
Unfortunately his methods are out of date. Especially his lack of position specific training. A linemen does not need the same attributes as a wide receiver and vice versa. It seems you are a big supporter of his. I know players and coaches across the country and this just isn't it. The players I've seen develop across the country are similar to ours, but have a great strength training program that is up to date and position specific. That is why they are faster, more explosive, and agile than us. We aren't playing D2 football (where Baukol's methods were successful... we are playing D1 now).
However, I completely agree that players diets are absolute garbage. I've seen this and the dining halls are where the concern lays. Should have a food hall for athletes only to monitor diets for all sports programs (this is what the big programs have).
I have a former teammate at UND that played a little in the CFL and is pretty plugged in with training methods. He brought up the lack of position specific training with Baukol a few years ago at an alumni event. Baukol told him that there was no need for that and that basic training was good for all players.

There’s a whole lot of roster fortification that needs to happen first.
My thoughts on the team and coaches align with this. We need to find a way to get more high end players in the program.
When you factor in that many of our players had limited or no other DI offers and how small we are in the OL and DL - our coaches must do a pretty good job with those players to get us into the playoffs. What we need to do is find a way to get more of the difference makers in the door. We have a number of them but not enough.

I think we need to find a way to get kids who are bigger when they come in as freshmen and build them up from there.

Disappointed in the game today. It never felt like we were in it even when the score was close.
We need to figure out how to get bigger and stronger in the OL and DL.

I think Danny found a new play last week. He would use JJ as a lead blocker for Kett right up the middle. Ran it 3-4 times and got good yardage each time. Not sure if we had run that play prior to that, we might have but we ran it a number of times last week and it was successful.
Give JJ the start as a senior but give the ball to Skokna early and often. Thunder and lightning, but I want to see more lightning early in the game.
I didn't notice seeing as much of Boltmann as usual last week. Was he limited or did I just miss him? He did have a big catch and run for a first down in the 4th quarter.

According to the budget submitted to the NCAA, the Alerus rental fee is 32k Other gameday expenses brought the total up to about 50k.
This is from what I found to be relavent in the REA usage agreement. I think the answer is no, but not certain.
"Single game tickets for UND football are governed by an existing contract with the Alerus Center,
but the ticket revenue derived from UND football is included in the
calculation of the ticket revenue in this Agreement. Ticket revenue
does not include affiliated conference and/ or NCAA playoff games
as those events are governed by affiliated conference and/ or NCAA
regulations, which are incorporated herein by reference. All ticket
revenue, as defined above, will be pooled into the UND / REA joint
ticketing pool, excepting those revenues in the previous sentence."Thanks for that info. It makes sense that playoff games would be excluded.

Get Luke going.
Get him enough touches and then pound JJ between the tackles.
Time to get playoff win #1.
And then stick that locker room tent up their arses on the way out of town.

I appreciate the clarification but am still wondering how this works in reality. Seems like Chaves really thought attendance was going to LOW, like historically low.
I agree the math doesn't seem to add up.
What I don't know is how much student tickets affect the $$, what the expenses are to rent the Alerus and if REA would get their customary 52%. 52% off the top would really put a crimp on the dollars available.

It's been beaten to death. Anyone who can navigate Google could have found out what Nicholls bid last year will minimum effort. Even if finding just that info through one's due diligence it should conclude that if your bid is serious it HAS to be more than $80K + because there is the possibility that UND might get Nicholls as a playoff draw and they aren't going to bid less this year......even if you know nothing else!
Goodness.
Just don't insult me by calling me apathetic. My goddamn Apple Watch went off 6 times during the UNC game to warn me that my heart rate had spiked and I was stationary.

Again - what was the right number? Pick one.
Here are my bonifides regarding UND football and UND as an institution. If this is apathy let me please let me know how I change that.
- Attending UND games for 50+ years
- UND grad and football letter winner
- 4 season tickets - I believe you said you were going to cancel yours this year
- 4 season tailgate spots
- drive 10+ hours round trip for every fb home game
- fly to 1 fb road game a year
- watch every fb road game I don't attend if its available, I listen if I can't get it
- Champions club member
- actively involved in on-campus recruiting of UND students for my employer and have mentored a few fb players who are in my field
- Chairman of an advisory board for my discipline at UND
I am really disappointed we aren't at home too and I wish we would have bid more. I'm just not willing to throw Chaves and the athletic dept under the bus for a blind bid that didn't win.

Really? Chaves knows a number that won just last year and he bids below it by $5K. Unfortunately, most of my frustrations surround the Herald article pumping up the bid (when it was lower than a # that has won in the past). I think he looks like a complete clown.
Did he have any limitations from the school? Did he tap what he could from donors and did he have any more room? he also didn't know we would be paired with Nichols

If Chaves is too incompetent to know that at least one team, Nicholls, bid 80K just last year than we are worse off than I thought.
I'm guessing he had some limitations on what we could bid. The good news is that you can fix this next time by yourself. Step up. Write to Chaves and tell him you want to help out next time and give him a number
I ask you again - what is the number you think we should have bid? $100k - would that have been enough? Maybe $200k.
Again hindsight is a wonderful tool if all you want to do is bitch.

Does their field have turf or natural grass? Does that even make a difference?
It is turf.
Before the 2017 campaign, Manning Field received a makeover with the installation of a brand new GeoGreen™ artificial turf by Geo-Surfaces of Baton Rouge.

So no one in the UND athletic department has access to the internet? It has been documented that Nicholls St bid $80K so they could host a playoff game last year. That is at a minimum was potential bar for bid for Chaves to look at. Now did he think we'd be bidding against Nicholls this year? Most likely not but there was a chance and Nicholls precedent was set last year. They were definitely not going to bid less than $80K this year. I agree with whoever posted that the UND athletic department was pretty sure they were going to get a regional playoff game and that thought process made their bid sufficient...….unfortunately they presumed incorrectly.
What is the number we should have bid to insure we were at home?
$150k? $500k?
$1B? - per dr evil

That crap needs to end. Many on this site are on speed dial from the Alumni Association Foundation and other entities at UND that are looking for dollars. One's fandom or allegiance to UND athletics is not based on what he/she gives and I'd be willing to bet most of the apathetic lemming posters here give nothing.
The point is you could have fixed it if you were willing to step up big rather than just bitching after the fact.
What $$ number would have been considered adequate in your mind? $100k, $200k? $300k?
there’s still no guarantee that we’d win the bid. Someone could still go higher.

Did Chaves go "toe-to-toe" with the other athletic directors?
It's quite apparent that the fans on this board are more than happy with putting in a satisfactory, competitive bid and not going all out to win.
There was ONE CHANCE to get a home game this year and he screwed it up. That's undeniable.
If we knew what the nut was and refused to meet it I would agree with you.

Obviously the bid wasn't very competitive because we lost. We were competitive out in Idaho State too I guess.
So if you lose you weren’t competitive? that’s a novel concept.
And no we weren’t competitive at ISU.
You could have fixed it with a measly $10k. Next time you should step up and contact the athletic dept to offer it up. You could fix it yourself

You are not addressing the issue. I don't care about the game itself right now.
I am pointing out all the factors that seem to be popping up as to why Chaves skimped on his bid and got beat by a regional Southland school. Hockey in Minneapolis seems to be one, which to me, is a major issue if true. And I think it is true.
20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.
We didn't skimp on our bid. It was a blind bidding process and we put out a competitive bid but got beat. If it was a live auction we probably would have gone higher.
How much did you contribute to the bid? Maybe next time you can offer up $10k or so to push it higher but there'd still be no guarantees.
I wasn't asked for a donation but I don't run in those circles.

I remember the game and the headline the following day “Snow Job”. The people from Alabama played up how they couldn’t play in cold weather. After living in the south for 30 years, I now know, yes it does get cold and northern Alabama does get snow.
I remember Livingston claimed they didn't expect to get in and had already turned in their equipment. They insinuated that it was a big struggle to get the team back together to play.

So true the '75 game was over looked and a shocker.
I was at that game as a 14 year old. I remember the disappointment and the drunk guy that had to be carried onto the bus going back to the KC's.

SRS rankings at this link. The date says 2018 but it is quite different from the one from 2018 last year that had us at 38.
This shows us at 23 just ahead of Furman and Nichols St. Eastern Washington at 15?

Noah was a tremendous WR at UND and we were lucky to have him. Same goes for Travis. Our WR group has been one of our strengths the last few years. Noah was one of the best we've ever had and the numbers prove it.
The hit where Noah got hurt happened in front of me in the Alerus and the best word to describe it is jarring. He was turning up field and didn't have time to adjust to the tackler. The collision stopped both players cold. I'm very surprised he was able to play this weekend. He is a warrior.
