Tied with what two other teams for conference champs? Now they're 3-5 this year. Didn't UND win the Big Sky and the next year go 3-8? It is not good enough to have a couple good years and many bad ones.
Actually in Grand Forks having a couple down/mediocre years.....followed by an outlier hope year.....then followed by a couple more down/mediocre news is good enough apparently.

Serious question…
would you rather hire a former DII coach with a 22-21 record as a head coach who is looking to retire after finishing his career here?
-or -
a young up and coming coach who has a 67 - 3 record with 4 (four!) national championships at a lower level like NAIA, who will get attention from both recruits and higher level programs that will likely be hired away after several successful seasons?
well, Fresno State is leading the MWC West and is probably pretty happy with that up-and-coming young coach. (And I am not suggesting hiring Fresno’s defensive coordinator)
The Bubba apologists all too often like to forget this inconvenient fact.

I’m D1 we just have consistently done a terrible job of handling success. All three conference championships were followed by complete let downs. Each time the fan base was ready to explode and were let down. In the past the issue was relaxing after success. If you watch Saban Coach, the more success they have, the harder he is on his guys. Up 20 in the national title game and he’s not afraid to lose his mind over the smallest of mental errors. That trickles down to the rest of the program. We lack that.
Bubba would be a great government employee (which I guess he kind of is). Lots of mediocre play, a few big mistakes, get put on a performance improvement plan......make the playoffs ..just enough to get off of the improvement plan......repeat.

You think the players blame the coaches or themselves? Coaching can only do so much, has to be executed on the field
Using that logic who recruits the players that can't get it done?

Maybe paid attendance.

Another textbook Bubba season. Rolling into 2 November home games with all the buzz gone. Are his supporters looking at next year or should we just skip ahead and say "just wait for the year after next year"?

Unfortunate that the team laid an egg in a destination game. Goaltender is starting to show a trend of giving up soft goals which is concerning. Wasn't the only issue tonight, but sure didn't help set the tone either.

Gotta admit....Bubba has managed to completely let the air out of the fan interest balloon before the homecoming game. Drove by Alerus Center today which reminded me there was a game tomorrow.
Oh no....MoSioux is upset.....don't downvote me anymore lol. Bubba will slap you on the back and shake your hand and make everything ok again

So am I reading it right on Ticketmaster.com that mobile tickets will be available after 700 pm on Friday 10/29? How could anything go wrong there??
Might as well bring your hard copy vax card too whether you do or don't do the Clear app. Stories of a recent update that rendered the Android version glitchy/not working have been circulating.

Ummm no, I don't think we should wait 15 years and that isn't what I was saying. Just adding some perspective from one of our rival schools. Every coach in the FCS except for about 6 would be fired each and every year if this board was in charge of picking the coaches. Like you, I'm not fully convinced Bubba can get us to a Championship. But I also recognize that he isn't going anywhere this year or next year.
7 years is more than enough time to provide either results and/or excitement. The results haven't been there by any measure you want to employ. The excitement by and large hasn't been there for most of the second halves of any of his seasons. Attend the next UND home game and try saying with a straight face that a change isn't needed. D1 isn't the participation ribbon league. At some point you have to produce.

SDSU must have also been very tolerant with mediocrity too. It took Stiegelmeier 20 year to make the Quarter Finals, and really for his first 20 years they could never win the big one or even semi-big one. That said, this fall has been frustrating as hell!!
So because you found one other school that waited 15 years for a coach to get results UND should too?

Everything would be forgotten if we finally figured it out on Saturday and pulled off a big win!……… Huge opportunity to turn this season around and keep the playoff hopes alive…… also could be another weekend of disaster but I have faith in this team to right the ship!
Lol.....that's good stuff. Even if they run the table 3 losses isn't a guarantee for playoffs. And frankly UND hasn't shown any indication a running of the table is coming.

To those of you who want a new coach, are you really that confident we will end up with anyone better? Both of our coordinators would also likely be gone. Good luck getting anyone better at those spots with what UND is willing to pay. Will you want another new coach after 3-4 years? I'm not interested in risking what has been built up to this point for a 50/50 shot at having a worse coaching staff. Our roster/depth has continuously been getting better. Yes we are missing some key pieces but the team depth AND OUR EXPECTATIONS have been improving steadily - those are the important indicators imo.
Depends on what you want from a football team. Continued 6-5 to maybe 8-3 type seasons with unimaginative play calling and early playoff dismissals then Bubba is your guy. If that is all that it takes to keep you happy nothing wrong with that, but then don't wonder why you can sprawl out over as many seats as you want at home games because no one is there.

And just like that UND football guarantees the last 3 home games will be half full stadiums at best. Gotta move on from Bubba.

A loss here necessitates a change at the top. Just like with Mussman, every year you hold on hoping for something different is a year longer it will take the new guy to potentially fix it.

Wow. Bubba needs to go after that one.

Hopefully UND has beefed up their lines. The last games that UND has played NDSU despite what any "listed" weights have shown, the eye test has made it clear NDSU has different type athletes than UND does in the trenches.

NDSU is not the big bad wolf and nobody needs to fear them. They are a shadow of their former selves and overrated. They are not a top 5 team probably closer to the 10-15 range. They are not walking into the Alerus and putting up any where near 30 points. UND fans need not worry about tomorrow.
Lol......that's good stuff.

FanDuel line down to UND +9.5
Anything 10 or less is like printing money. Surprised it's that tight.

Would love for the hockey board to get back to hockey. The Nashville arena requirements are relevant, as people need to know. But whether they should exist just brings us back to the tired old debates on covid, vaccines and mandates. This thread should basically be dormant until the week of the game.
Me too. I think everyone would love to get back to going to games without all of it. Problem is that some people are obsessed with keeping Covid a current thing and not trying to accept that it isn't going away and moving forward.

To “clarify” your previous post, you did in fact claim no virus had been eradicated. I never compared vaccines. All you have done is show you should not be giving anyone advice regarding anything medical. You don’t know what you are talking about. It isn’t worth commenting on the rest of your goofy post.
Ok. Of course you aren't. Medical experts have been flip flopping from day 1 so I get to clarify one statement. CDCs own website talks about human to animal transmission occurring though at the current moment the risk of spreading from animals to human is "low". Or aren't we listening to the CDC anymore?........of course if animal to human transmission potential was really that "low".....none of this would have happened assuming the lab leak theory is wrong.
