Sample size isn’t huge, 7 games.
So roughly the same record as roughly 99% of FCS teams would have?
Not saying UND couldn't or shouldn't have won at least some of those games but to pretend that the average occurrence of it should be different is a bit silly.
And the NDSU game was sold out at the Alerus.
Also interesting to see how the record changes when you drop it to 10k. I guess those extra 2k+ make the difference? (and completely aware in most cases it is significantly more than that number, just pointing out you picked an arbitrary number that only includes games on the road either at higher level opponents or some of the toughest places to play within the division).

Haven’t won a game in front of 13,000+ fans since 2016 … big games/crowds are kryptonite to Bubba ball
What's the sample size on that? A few FBS games, a few in the Fargodome and maybe one at WaGriz? Pretty high imaginary bar you're setting.

If anyone finds an opening betting line post it.
My degenerative betting mind has SDSU +9.5 and I think that's giving UND a little more than they deserve.
Massey has it almost double that. Would expect that to be reflected in the line.

Would now be a good time to remind everyone that 60% of NDSU athletic grants go to men?
61.5%
And 63.3% of student-athletes opportunities (unduplicated)-

No way Crumbl and Insomnia both make it.
Only thing they have going for them is that they cater to slightly different demographics and are nowhere near each other.
Real Good Cookies seems to be doing OK, wonder how they will fit into it all. -

You and a few other cotton tops keep trying to bring up this point...
I promise you, having them do any sort of pregame walk with a camera showing them on the big screen with hype music going will do nothing negative to their focus for the game. If anything, it will get them more hyped up for the game and actually play better.
Significant difference between a tunnel walk and having the team running around the Conference Center and up in the stands. One is logical. The other, well not so much.

what i meant is that for the fan experience it doesn't do much........the "Hawk Walk" the length of the conference center would engage fans and create a little buzz in the main arena for a 3-4 minutes.
#ruffryders
Hear me out: What if they did it through half of the parking lot and spent time engaging kids/fans? Maybe include the bank or cheerleaders? Bet that would get a great reaction. But maybe do it a little earlier so the the players can focus on the game.

Well, I’d argue that you don’t need to see the entire script to know how it will end. That oftentimes is how football, sports, and life works, actually. Things are at times predictable. Not sure what life you’ve been living. I guess a far more unpredictable and exciting one than my own.
If you take a 100 mile trip, you don’t have to complete the entire trip in order to have a reasonable idea what the finality will look like. If the first 70 miles was all desert, the last 30 has a fair probability to also be that. It’s about probability, not possibility, and yet some on here continue to side with minimalistic chance just for the sake of arguing.Again, trying to pretend you know exactly what the probabilities and possibilities might be if UND can't beat the #1 team in FCS and the MWC favorite on the road and the #2 team in FCS at home all in a span of 4 games in the front half of the season is laughable. Not sure how many teams in the country at the FCS or even G5 level manage to go 3-0 or 2-1 in that stretch. Yet you claim there are major problems if they can't accomplish it, no ifs, ands or buts about it. No one is saying it can't be done, but most people also realize there is a lot of season left regardless of what happens in that short stretch.
I also see the brain trust is banding together, the point made must not be too far off. Pretty cute though.

You’re already hedging that UND can’t beat 2 of these 3: Boise, SDSU, NDSU. You’re sandbagging and lowering expectations to only winning 1 of the 3.
I don’t think those results are going to get UND to the next tier. Just the honest to God truth. As such, need to aim higher. Beat Boise. Beat SDSU. Beat ag school. Can’t beat all 3, okay. cant beat 2 or all 3, then we have problems.And you're already predicting how the season will end based on games played in the front half of the schedule.
Things aren't as clear cut, black and white as you want to make them. That isn't how football, sports or life works.
But you've set yourself up nicely for a few months of being worked up and ranting about anything and everything if UND can't win 2 of 3 games where Massey currently has them at 15%, 17% and 28% to win.-

All Bubba talks about is focus and being prepared, there is no way they would agree to anything this elaborate. Heck, they got rid of the inflated helmet and the tunnel walk. It's not going to happen in this era.
3 hours ago, HoopsFan03 said:But then decided it was a better idea to have the players run out with 100 Nodak flags??? I'm sure that really gets the guys focused and ready for the game!
Where was it disclosed that Bubba was the one who changed the pregame entrance?
Guessing the inflatable helmet wasn't a good fit with the pyrotechnics they announced they were adding this year in the 2023 "Improvements" release.-

Could you imagine the complaining about the coaches and players not being focused and ready when they come out flat in the first quarter because they were distracted by trying to nail this epic performance art?

agreed...that's why with the world of time tommy had this throw should have been "better"...and it better be against boise and ndac and sdac...or ...day by day
Who said the throw was perfect? It got the job done though, right over the d-backs.
The whole point is Wes was never streaking down the field wide open like you said. Tommy had time (nice job OL), waited for his read, got it and threw the ball when he had it. Wes was running right at the safety until he broke up to come at Bo and leave Wes that open. Sounds like it was a well designed play that was going to have two options depending on what choice the safety made. If he throws it earlier, the safety is still in position to break it up.
There are other Qb's who have stronger arms. But most of them aren't going to make the read, have the patience to let out develop or have the accuracy to put it in a catchable spot.

you can't defend those throws if you know qbing or football in general....the wes throw..all qb's dream of that pocket and a guy running free.
He wasn't running free, the safety came up as Bo came across his face and Wes kept running to get behind him. Bo was 10ish yards from him when he caught it. Could the throw have been further? Yes. Was Wes streaking with everyone beat the whole play? Absolutely not.

5.5 yards per attempt isn't great, but 3.5 is terrible.
No real disagreement but Nebraska did everything in their power to keep the throws short. It obviously worked.
That being said, the overall stat line is still a QB rating of over 100. Plenty of other games have been won with worse stats. Singling that out and saying it was the reason UND lost that game is just another level to the bit.-

did brock miss a wide out bo belquist for a potential td in his game AND did brock's team win?...i'll hang up and listen......stats don't alway tell you the true story. just ask bison fans about trey's td throw in the preseason against the raiders....goes down as a td for the "stats" people but if you watched the game......dawhoops!
You literally posted a stat line and proclaimed that was why UND lost a specific game. Now you are proceeding to proclaim stats don't tell the whole story. Not sure I'm following your logic, but I'm assuming that one actually tracks with the stats.

As for what I do try to accomplish behind the scenes, I don’t provide a play-by-play on here. What I can state, however, is despite what some grey hairs say, there is a lot more resistance and lack of enthusiasm than what is reported (at least towards football).
Resistance to what?
I spoke to someone from UND and also the Alerus Center and both were looking for feedback on what was working and what needed to be improved. They want to make it the best they can. Just because they don't implement 100% of your ideas doesn't mean they don't care.

Message Captain @iramurphy or Lieutenant @jdub27 and they'll get you a meeting set up with Chaves. Should get all your questions answered for you.
Don't think you need to go that high to get your answer but the answer is both.
UND moved back to the MVCF for, among other reasons, regularly have regional rivals on the schedule as it clearly drives attendance. Plus, the team has been performing better. Both are helping attendance trend in the right direction. More than one thing can be true.
Kind of like someone who can have valid points and continously also spend their time trolling and trying to detract from others trying to have actual discussions. Hypothetically of course.

I'm not so sure that ticket sales have gone up because there are more diehard UND fans. It's more so that opponent interest is higher.
Why can't it be both?

Also managed to keep his back-up on campus the last few years (who flipped from his Old Dominion commitment), find a role for him and has created a pretty impressive QB room both on and off the field.

They pulled a 6'3 recruit from Bismarck this week too for 2025. I wonder why our coaches never look for local talent. SDSU wins with girls from the mid west. We like to look elsewhere...
SDSU currently gets the pick of the litter and they have earned that on the court.
I can assure you UND is looking at and trying to recruit local talent.

Despite what you think, they are already beyond that.
That being said, I look forward to the day that the are the favorite in every game in the schedule and have continued to make beyond that. Recognizing that and what they are doing to improve is a lot more helpful than continously being critical and negative towards the program. But you're going to continue to do what you do.
