Goon with a good analogy. Some have done a similar comparison with hockey and used the % of total football roster. I think Goon is closer to reality since so many football players come to school not ready for DI football and and aren't expected to play much if at all in a given season. As a % of those counted on to play a large role on the team this is pretty close.

I think you'll find these comments are pretty common on fan message boards.
Maybe we could strive to be better than those other boards
I stood and talked with a current players parents at the SUU game. The father told me he reads this message board after games. I'm sure recruits do too.

What exactly am I not getting? That there is a difference between playoffs and regular season?...smh
There is a common theme among about three posters on this board that I find pretty funny. You continue to subtly state that NDSU’s dominant run would’ve been different if they had to play on the road for those playoff games. The complete idiocy of your logic revolves around the fact that it is 100% due to NDSU’s dominance in the regular season(you say doesn’t mean anything) that they’ve earned every single Home playoff game in the last 7 years. As I said, you want NDSU to travel in December? You know what to do.
You are correct sir. Home playoff games are earned during the regular season.

It has been terrible for me. I just shut off the vb game because it is so bad.

2 in section 302A Row G right above the entryway in the upper deck on the end UND shoots twice. Seats on the aisle in a 6 seat row, so people aren't coming in and out all the time. $30 each.
Thanks. I just picked up some from another poster.

I would like to buy them if still available.

I'm looking for two for Saturday if anyone has some available.

We are at the game. Ouch
anybody know why SUU is still throwing on most downs and not running the clock?

I felt at 14-0 we hit rock bottom on the year. We responded and it actually looked like we were having fun. Even 2 quality losses to finish the year would be OK, compared to getting embarrassed. 1-1 would be fantastic.
I was with you. The fg’s seemed like a bad idea at the time but it worked out

Headed to SUU next week. Not expecting a win but it would be nice to be surprised.

Because Port was calling timeouts.
I get it. they ate their last one so I figured we’d sit on it

Why didn’t we kneel down rather than score again?

Let’s finish this one

Where is Santiago? Haven't seen him

Anyone know how Boltmann has looked? I would assume he would be our 3rd string QB next year but would be nice for him to make some noise and push Zimmerman and Ketteringham.
I watched him play once in HS and I thought he was very good. A handier version of Studsrud.

Whatever makes you sleep at night. A 2015 7-4 and 2016 9-3 consecutive season record should be enough to at least bring in some quality recruits that can be competitive backups in the Big Sky Conference. Very few RS sophomores are playing that are making a impact. I guess my expectations are too great for this program according to some. It's not unrealistic because there's more than enough standards around the country to prove otherwise. Just look 80 miles south. I understand that comparison will provoke many on this board, but it is from a success standpoint, not a jealousy or rivalry standpoint. For that matter, look at what EWU and James Madison are doing.
Someone brought up the theory that UND should be inferior to NDSU because of city size. Well then, Northwestern should be a better football program than Wisconsin. Or the University of Minnesota should have a better football program than Ohio State. City size absolutely doesn't correlate with college football program success; its based on alumni support and the subsequent appropriate allocation to the football program. HPC phase II is such a must in this regard.
I have also talked with some of the coaches that turned things around in the late 80's. They had the same story as today. You need to win more recruiting battles and it doesn't happen overnight and doesn't happen until you have had sustained success. the kids we got after going 7-4 and 9-3 are in their first or second year in the program and you can't win if you have to play too many of them all of the time. We are not far enough along to be able to withstand the volume of injuries we have had.

UND is going to bring in very few players who are ready to play day 1, maybe a couple a year and even that is an exception, not the rule. Most recruits at this level are "project" recruits and if things are going right shouldn't be seeing the field until 2-3 years anyway. This year is obviously an anomaly where the kids that were still developing, putting on weight and maybe gaining a few reps a game were instead forced to play the entire game.
This is very true. Our program doesn't have the status yet to be getting all of the players we want and therefore are bringing in kids that won't be ready day 1. Currently we get a few that are ready and plan on the rest down the road.
If we become a power we will get closer to that level but aren't at that point yet. That is why losing starters hurts us so much right now while we are still early in Bubba's tenure and many of his recruits are RS Sophs and younger.

The story about Bruce Maxwell being denied service for kneeling at a baseball game is a fake . His table was carded and one person couldn't produce an ID.
so there's one story from Maxwell and different one from the waiter. I don't think we know which one is true yet, do we?

Are you drunk again? He didn't burn any bridges. He is a viable candidate. Josh Morton is another viable candidate. Purpur would be, but I don't think he is interested. Rob Bollinger would be another.
Yes I'm sure he is. I like all of the names you mentioned. I wonder if Rob would be interested or if he is semi-retired. He would be great.

I get that Josh Morton has ties to UND, but after what has been happening in Michigan State's Athletic Department the last couple years. Would UND want to take him?
I would take him. He didn't know me from Adam when he was at UND but we crossed paths a few times and he was great to me. Very personable.

I hope it is fairly benign or positive all the way around. We don't need any more turmoil for a while.

I posted this on 2017 Season thread but most of injury discussion is here so posting here as well.
