Is UND good enough to overcome bad coaching and terrible officiating? I guess we’ll find out in a little while.

On the FG attempt late first half the possibilities are to kick the FG or go for it. A missed FG or a failed 4th down have the same result, NAU gets the ball with a chance to get points before the half. A made FG would still give them a possession before the half. Going for it on fourth and getting the first down not only greatly improves your scoring chances but it also greatly decreases the chance that NAU adds any points in the half. It’s a frickin no brainer in that situation to go for it. If Bubba was even thinking about a punt he needs to be removed immediately as head coach.

The good: only down 1.

So far bad coaching, bad officiating, and bad pass defense.

Might as well hold, these officials are blind.

Poor coaching decision. You go for it there on 4th down.

Even without the sound issue this broadcast is very poor. No down and distance, no timeout count, no play clock.

These officials are terrible

That technology is called “head up your ass and make crap up”.

Touchdown stands.

Under review

Nice play by the defense, pick 6.

Need to finish the drives with a Touchdown. FGs not gonna do it.

Gotta go for it on 4th. Field goals no gonna win this game the way the defense is playing.

No sound, no down and distance. Pathetic. Just like our playing.

Gonna be a very long day if they keep playing like this. Doesn’t look like they are ready to play, need to quickly change this.

Missouri State did have something UND didn’t…a running back that could hold onto the football in critical situations. Addition by subtraction.

The Wild were a fun team to watch this season but they weren’t built to have a long run in the playoffs. Their defense and penalty kill were just average and their defensive net front play was somewhere between average and brutal. Hopefully they can improve in those areas or next years playoffs will be a waste of time.

We’ve already had two players leave (Calder and Budy) that transferred to UND. So my guess is another transfer is leaving.

My guess is you could have watched the game using the Ballys app. A few days ago the twins and wolves were on Ballys and Ballys plus while the wild were streamed on the app.

I think the Vikings plan is to keep trading back in the draft until they get every pick in round 7.

Pretty much nailed it.

The new regime is off to a confusing start. Trade the #12 and #46 picks in the draft for #32, #34, and #66. So they move down 20 spots in the first round so the can move up 12 spots in the second round and gain a third round pick. WTF ? Someone needs to explain the logic behind this cause it makes no sense to me.

Just go back to the old system. Five minute 5x5 overtime. Win and it counts as a full win. Still tied after OT then leave it as a tie. Otherwise, if they really feel that there can be no ties then give a 3x3 OT full weight, 100% win. Stop confusing everything where a win (or loss) is really just a tie.

I suspect that Spicer would be best served to spend next season in the USHL. Not sure why the rush but it’s his decision. Word is that 17 year olds do not always make the correct decisions. They need parents and advisors to help ensure that they are thinking long term. This goes not only for when to start college but also when to turn pro. Make the wrong decision and you can severely impact your long term career. Not really a big deal for UND, they have plenty of time to find a replacement for the 2023-24 season. If they can’t find a quality recruit I’m sure they can find a pretty good forward in the portal.
