Time to start considering that extension for Bubba before another school poaches him from us.

I'm so frustrated with myself for getting my hopes up every year. This team just never improves. Never takes the next step forward. In the end, getting into the playoffs is irrelevant. These coaches and players and not capable of winning in the playoffs.

Day by Day

Nope

Let's break a run and cover the spread!

I think you missed the joke. We have next week off.

There has been a common denominator on our Special Teams over the years. Through all the mistakes, Kostitch has been there. Not that I expect our head coach to make the necessary change.

Yes it is.

I took your advice on the Karara (hot) and it was delicious! I'm so glad that GF has House of Punjab.

Since DAE came up on the board recently, here is a link to a story in the Miami Herald regarding his adventures on spring break this week. Youtube video of the incident also included in the article. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article273303895.html

Not related to action on the field, but Brady Oliveira and his girlfriend Alex are doing great work helping animals. This video popped up on The Dodo this week.

This might be the biggest understatement in the history of this forum.

He can move to alumni as a fundraiser.

Justifiably, we were all frustrated with the playoff selection fiasco, but these last two games show where this program truly is against quality opponents.

For the good of the program, it’s time he looked in the mirror and stepped down.

If we are content being a borderline playoff team with a below average defense that announcers identify as “NDU”, then we can keep the status quo. If we want to be anything more, a change in leadership is necessary.

Maybe the NCAA should just put the 13 at large spots up for bid. Just admit that the 13 highest bidders get into the field and nothing else matters.

At some point, you need to go all in and put the necessary resources into helping this program take the next step. Home playoff games are a critical part of that process. I don’t want to hear that “we put in a very competitive bid”. The truth is that once again the UND Athletic Department did not get the job done.

Interesting that UND is only faced with a 1% budget reduction compared to 5.48% at NDSU, which is correlated to "UND’s strategic decision to significantly increase its online course offerings". UND's proactive strategy appears to be paying off.

Sad to see the Greenway Takeover ending. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/greenway-takeover-festival-organizer-says-2022-was-the-last-for-the-local-music-event

Finally got the chance to try Bigfoot BBQ at the Ramada. You can't beat the Friday night deal of any burger, fries and a beer (or other beverage) for $10. I think they need to advertise more because the burgers and bbq were all great.

Definitely a case of addition by subtraction. He will not be missed.
