    Based on predictions(and actual results), UND still on track for 8-3. That’s the benchmark, whether we like it or not. I of course would like 10-1 or 9-2, but probability-wise won’t happen.

    It would be very UND-like to lose to USD or even UNI and finish 7-4.  That is my biggest fear right now

    Shouldn’t be. Tackler turned sideways as he came in receiver fell into oncoming  tackler. Initial contact wasn’t with crown of helmet. Doesn’t matter refs called it. 

    And now he's out for the first half of the SDSU game too

    Walking in a North Dakota Wonderland.

    I always thought in Nort Dakota the verse went "Valking in a Vinter Vonderland".

  4. I'm going to say under because of the holiday weekend and we are playing an uninspiring opponent.  Sorry but we're going to hang 50 on these guys.  Now when Northern Arizona comes to town things will pick up.

    NDSU is starting a corner that didn’t even play for Bowling Green.  Interesting

    Considering that Hoosman didn't see the field at UNI I'm not sure I want to take much comfort in that.

    I disagree. If UND doesn’t make noise against Boise or SDSU, then it’s the same ol’, same ol’ middle of the road Bubba ball. 
     
    Again, if UND perpetually beats who they’re supposed to beat and loses against who they’re supposed to lose against, then UND FB will never take the next step, despite 10 years of Bubba ball. 

    Remember, NDSU used to lose almost every year to SDSU during the season and then come out blazing during the playoffs and beat them.   That was of course until last year.   A loss during the regular season can be overcome.

    Depends on extent of injury and subsequent evaluation. Unfortunately, it can become a recurring problem similar to his other shoulder, but he might also be able to do ok. I would guess they will do an MRI and make a decision based on how quickly he can recover. Have to wait and see. 

    Since Matt's never had much of a career with Dallas I fear it will be very easy for them to cut him and move on if it's going to require surgery.

    What if we finish 7-4 and one of the wins is over Boise, NDSU or SDSU. AND this team is good enough to make a run in the playoffs? Might take that scenario too if we actually make a run in the playoffs.

    If we win any of those major games and still only finish 7-4 that means we laid an egg against some school like Indiana State or Arizona State.   We can't be getting upset against schools like that.

    Anything less than 8-3 and it will be a disappointment. We cannot lose to SDSU, NDSU, Boise , UNI and still call it a success. Time to show the MVFC we are here to stay!

    I agree.   We have to do better than 7-4.

    Clearly, we need football games. 

    I can't wait for the season to start.  I really feel this is our year.   The schedule is in our favor and we have the horses.

    totally caught me off guard with that pic of him wearing gear from all his 3 teams.....assumed he was in camp somewhere....pretty sure he's done.

    I'm sure the picture with the gear from his last three gigs is an attempt to show him as a team player and somehow friendly with all three.   No one is going to buy it, he'll always be remembered as a bust and being poison in the locker room

    UND discussion starts at 11:25, around 14:50. when asked about Weber getting to host over UND, Patty says that there has never been a time when the higher bidding team didn't host. The host suggests that SU's Larsen did nothing to stop Weber from hosting, just to hurt UND, Patty says "Sometimes you shouldn't confuse conspiracy theories with incompetence".  

    I've always thought Matt Larsen is the biggest slime ball you could find.  I heard him on the radio once at halftime, had to listen to the NDSU version of the game because no UND station where I was at the time.   He just comes across as something worse than a used car dealer.   I'm not surprised Patty calls him incompetent.  I'm sure she had other names for him but was too much of lady to use them.

    At the bare minimum, I want them to make the playoffs 2 years in a row (which depending on how you count the Spring season) UND has yet to do.

    At the bare minimum, I want UND to start a winning streak against USD.

    That to me would at lease show SOME growth and some consistency.  Going 5-6 again keeping UND in that inconsistency range, which is maddening. 

    Again, we want more that than, but we do need to have some measures where we need to look and see ok.  That is tangable progress. 

     

     

     

     

    I feel bare minimum is a bye in the first round followed a win, or if we play the first round we get two wins.   We have to start making progress and I'm really hopeful about this year, the stars seem to align.    If not this year it may be a long time.   We've got the team and the schedule in our favor.

    The team did very well last year, but they will need to take another step forward. There is very little room for error. They play South Dakota State, NDSU and Boise St. If those 3 are losses, playoffs chances are going to be very slim. I see UND 3-3 to start the season. I really hope I am wrong, but it is very possible. There is a tough schedule this year. Making the playoffs would say alot about this year's team. 

    7-4 would still get us into the playoffs.   It would be nice to beat either NDSU or SDSU and I feel this year should be our chance.
