I didn't book my plane tickets to Salt Lake City this far out just to see UND "hang with Utah." I'm excited for 2017 and what this team can become. Who wants to join me at Rice-Eccles next September to cheer on a Hawks win?
That really sounds like fun. We are planning on the Southern Utah game on Nov 4. Fly to Vegas and drive the 2 hours or so to Cedar City.

I was talking to a Minnesota recruiting guy and I asked if Boltmann was comparable to Studsrud, and he said that was a very good comparison. So I'd say maybe he'll be ready to run the squad when Studs is gone. Would love to see Heidelbaugh develop, though.
I watched Boltmann play once this year and thought he is comparable to Studsrud also. Very similar style. I thought Boltmann threw the ball well for a HS player

Start filling your stadium and you won't have to worry about defending your fan support.
You asked what our attendance would have been had we been outside. We weren't outside - we were inside so it doesn't matter. That seems reasonable.
Nothing about defending fan support. Just defending the decision to build an indoor facility which seems like a good idea. Fargo has one also so I am sure you support that. It makes a difference in attendance when the weather gets cold. SDSU had the same option and chose not to for whatever reason.

Honestly, what do you think the attendance at UND's playoff game this weekend would have been had it been played outdoors in bad weather? We do know that SDSU attracted 5,000+ more fans than UND during the regular season, that is an apples to apples comparison.
It really doesn't matter because we didn't play outdoors in bad weather. SDSU could have built an indoor facility also but didn't. We shouldn't have to apologize for that.

Well to trying and compare attendance between games being played in a dome against a game being played outside during a snow storm and cold temps is a stretch in itself. Then throwing in a hockey game to boot is---well---amusing.
I would normally agree regarding the hockey game but in this case I think the hockey game took a number of fans from the football game. If we had 7,000-8000 people in NY I have to believe that we could have counted on at least 1,000 of them to be at the football game had they been in town. I am only guessing but 1/8 being willing to go to the fb game seems reasonable.

I have heard a lot of good things about coach Kostich both as a recruiter and a coach. I have only met him a couple of times but he is very impressive and I know the players love him.

Missed opportunity with the students??
What more do they need to understand how important they are? $1000's of dollars were donated by fans like us to get them to the game. Do they need rides next year too?
I thought the students were great and based off Richmond's players and coaches reactions after the win, both groups making a point to come back and talk smack to the student sections, I'd say the students had plenty of fun during the game.
They sure did for the first time in many, many years. A win and having the season continue would have gone a long way toward sustaining that for the future. We gained a lot with that game but we would have made more strides if football had stayed in the news with a long playoff run. Just a missed opportunity in my opinion. My son and his friends are on board. I was talking about the students who are fringe fans.
It has nothing to do with donated tickets or rides to the game. I donated tickets myself and hosted a bunch of students at our tailgate party and we all had a great time but most of them have been there all year. We did rope in 2 or 3 that hadn't been there for many games
-
My son is a current student. He pointed out what a missed opportunity it was. Got a bunch of students to the game and interested. Could have built on the feeling that it was fun and that they contributed to a win. Move on in playoffs and raise fb's profile.

That cost us the game. Hunt getting burnt over and over and over. That cost us the game. Crowd going flat like the team when the momentum had shifted. That cost us the game. Most of all just not getting the job done in general cost us the game. I'm extremely proud of this team and the history they made but God damn it they are better than what they sowed in that second half. It had nothing to do with coaching. Guys were in position and failed to make plays they were capable of. This was a massive choke job.
In the end, it's still blatantly obvious that not having a single speed wr hurts the offense. They don't need to worry about the deep ball and can come down to stuff the run and defend the intermediate pass. We just aren't a complete team yet. The depth is almost there and things are absolutely headed in the right direction. We lost our mojo with all the time off.... now we have 9 months to get it back. If the coached can add a couple of things to this team in the secondary, at QB, and at WR then next year will be a fun one.
The silver lining in all of this was @GreenWing and I heckled Richmond's coach Rocco so bad before the game that he ran right over to us after the win to talk some !@#$. We got under his skin about the Delaware job and he didn't forget us.
Going for a block and running into the kicker when up 17 and gonna get the ball at midfield- absolutely the worst decision I have ever seen from a UND football team when considering the right decision was so obvious. Gotta be smarter than that. What the hell were they thinking. I am beyond frustrated.

I do, minus the special teams coaching...horrible and horrible decision to go for the block.
Good lord. Absolutely the worst decision in many years. Catch the punt at midfield and grind the clock and they can't beat us. Instead running into kicker and they go down and score and off and running from there
-
Blocked punt. Bad guys 2nd and 7 on our 18
-
Dumb football on the roughing. Just tKe the ball and go

I have to believe that most of the tickets sold will be used since it took a conscious decision to get them vs. having season tickets and not attending all games.

BS.
Not sure of this response. The Hawk pretends to be a UND fan but obviously isn't. I bought a few tickets for Nodak Nation and challenged him to do the same.
What was BS?

I find it embarrassing that we have to bribe our students with $5 tickets. Simply wow!!
Just paying it forward. Jump on in and spend your money - or are you just pretending to be a UND fan.

1 minute ago, ericpnelson said:so am I correct in saying you bought 8 tickets?
Yes. Plus my son (who is a student) has lined up at least 4 more people that need tix. I said I will buy for them during tailgating if they don't already have them.

Nodak Nation is out of tickets now. If anyone was thinking of donating more tix, now would be a good time.

To each their own. For a $5/ticket donation it's worth a try to get more students at the game. Spending $5 is not much skin in the game either.
To purchase student tickets, call Caitlyn Marshall at 701-777-0256, office hours 10-6. I've already done mine. Nodak Nation will pick them up and distribute them from the Union ticket office.
Thanks for the info. I will call and buy some tomorrow.

Not sure where you'd find attendance, but I believe you're remembering the 75 game vs Livingston. I was there, it was nasty
I was there too. Was 14 years old and rode a bus from the KC club with my dad. I remember them carrying someone back on the bus after the game. He got a little too deep into the blackberry brandy.

Again, my thanks. This time for welcoming remarks and kind advice I will give to my son. Wish I could be there but I have conference. Can only hope ESPN3 announcers are better than usual performance. I have no doubt he will have a ball based on what I have read here.
Tell him to stop by the tailgating lot. Should be able to get food and a beer from just about any group. Hope he has fun.

Listening to 740 this morning I heard "UND Sports Today" with Tim H. Gave a full report on the hockey weekend vs MSU and interview clips with coach B (which is understandable given the FB team was idle), and finished by letting me know there's a game at MSG vs BC on Saturday.
No mention of FB home playoff game.
Missed opportunity to start the week.
He did promote the fb game during the hockey broadcast on Saturday night.

I watched a lot of the UM matches in the second half of the season and wow are they good. It will be a big challenge for UND.

I have been trying not to think about that. Thanks for bringing it up
