Disagree. ndsu had as good of defense as you’ll get during that run. Jensen, Stick, and Lance all had to make big plays against good teams. Game manager can only get you so far
They all also had career completion percentages between 61-65% and not 56% like Murray's QB.
Stick and Lance were freak athletes for Qb's as well.
Not arguing a stretching the field down the seams or running more tempo seems like it would help but Tommy having a 67% career completion rate and his decision making is what makes the offense work. Get off schedule and it we have a lot more games that look like UNI.

Come on. I was responding to a post that said Bubba should just hand the reigns to Danny. I was saying if Bubba leaves I think the hire needs to be an open competition. Not sure how that could be interpreted as we need new coaches every year.
That makes a lot more sense. Given some of the other nonsense, it's tough to not what half the posts mean anymore.

Shouldn’t we at least have a QB with some aspirations of professional football. Tommy looks like a qb that is ready to hang up the cleats. Sad to watch.

Lol. Thinking Tommy and the offense was the problem at all today. They punted once.
18-23 for 279 and 5 TD's against a poor defense vs. 19-36 and 3 TD's against a defense that was allergic to covering, getting pressure and tackling today

You underestimated what was going to happen that last drive but just a little bit.

What does this even mean? Interview new coaches every off season? Who in the world would sign up for that, coaches or players.
But for real, defensive effort is very concerning the last 6 quarters. Pressure can't get home, tackling not there and questionable coverage and committing of penalties (though a few at the end were brutal). McNaboe missing doesn't help. Need to clean that up fast. At least the offense looked good today. I'd bet the over next week.

Not positive, but if I had to guess, Seidl 2 and Tai 3. Wouldn’t be surprised if I’m wrong, tho.
Think this is accurate. Seidl can play the season out. Tai might have to sit one to keep his redshirt.

Calling that time out is fine … if you execute. Didn’t happen. So calling that timeout rightfully is questionable. Defense been sh*t this season.
Also, hard to imagine that second to last play (the fourth down play) only took 1 second. Went from 0:05 to 0:04 after that throw to the middle of the field on 4th &3 …
The timeout was fine, it was the refs adding 4 or 5 seconds back to the clock that was the issue. Not sure how that happens.

The fact that losing even crosses your mind, shows exactly where basketball is at.
Anyone taking his posts seriously says more about them than it does the basketball program.

The Midco broadcasts were the ones that were broadcast on ESPN + so there is no difference other then now I have to have a Midco Plus Subscription, ESPN Plus to catch the games on there that are not played at a Summit League school AND Have a TV subscription to CBS Sports to catch those games AND if I want to watch the Iowa game on Tuesday I need a Big 10 + subscription for $15. Not sure why they didnt just keep with ESPN + definitely more bang for your buck because I can watch other teams as well for exact same price as Midco Plus.
Not arguing those points because they are all 100% valid. Subscriptions cost more than cable these days to watch what you want. Stuff like the Iowa game is the same regardless of what the Summit is doing.
They did it because Midco is actually paying them, requiring minimum broadcasts and now all Summit games will be televised (instead of being on whichever platform the home team had, if they even had one). Fenton set up a very successful model that was the same thing with the NCHC and the schools with larger fan bases actually see some return on it. Also, getting away from ESPN allowed them to move the championship, so no more Tuesday night championship game on ESPNU, instead they will have some flexibility on when that can be played. I know one of the big complaints is the Monday/Tuesday finish for semis/finals. If it flops or they get enough negative feedback, ESPN will take them back for the exact same deal they were getting.

Of course you would just stick with the 50-0 score??? You and I both knew what the point is. UND should beat both those teams by a wide margin.
USD beat MSU 38-7 and Illinois St beat ISU 44-7. No reason UND can't do that or better!
USD beat ISU 17-3 (tied 3-3 at halftime). And UNI was down 17-14 to ISU in the 3rd quarter before winning 27-20.
We'll see what happens when Illinois St plays Murray next weekend to complete the other half of the equation you skipped over.Who know what is going to happen, it is almost like that's why they play the games.

Dabo Swinney had some pretty interesting comments the other day as he compared expectations and appreciation.
Now UND is not Clemson by any stretch of the imagination, but his basic point is that some people are able to balance both having expectations while still having appreciation for successes when they do happen (obviously there are multiple levels of those successes). Others are so focused on their own internal expectations (over something they have no control over) that they don't bother to have appreciation for any sort of success or minimize it because it "isn't enough".It wasn't a deflection either, as Dabo also took full responsibility for Clemson having a down year, at a place that has basically unlimited resources.
"Listen, man, you can have your opinion all you want, and you can apply for the job. And good luck to you."
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38783508/clemson-dabo-swinney-rips-caller-appreciationIn the end, we all want the same success for the program. Everyone just has their own outlook on what that looks like and what's worth celebrating.

Hey man, once you win a few Natties on NCAA 2014, get promoted to Madden head coach and win a few Super Bowls there, then you can give your expert opinion.

But it should be right? The last game should have been the same way also! Do you think the playoff committee doesn't take that into consideration?
Massey predicts 37-17.
Sagarin has UND as a 17 point road favorite.A 50-0 game would be well outside any of the computer models.

Not a great opponent and hard to know much about a newcomer to the conference.
Exactly. On the road against a team no one knows anything about other than NDSU voted against them joining the MVFC, they have a solid basketball program and UND should win.

Correct, I was never going to expand on myself via a public fan forum to a bunch of anonymous “idiots”, and I never said I would. I merely indicated the guy who called people on this board “idiots” is easily matched or surpassed by the experiences and capabilities of several others on this board, and I included myself. I stated I would put my experiences head to head, but I didn’t say this would be the medium to do it (especially with folks like you [@jdub27] on the witch hunt).
Nice deflection, you were asked to follow up on what you said and everyone watched you trip over yourself hiding from it.
Going to be a nice morning for tailgating and a good day to get back on track. Not expecting a WIU type score, ISU can sustain some drives. Need to get up on them early and not give them any hope. Hoping for a 3-4 score game before the starters are out.

If we would have beat UNI and run the table pretty sure we would have ended up with Top 4 seed. If we do run the table from here out.....where do we end up? 10ish probably? Don't think we'd be able to crack the top 8 but would depend what else happens.
Part of it depends on how the USD/SDSU game goes this Saturday but running the table definitely puts UND back in the conversation for a seed.
Sagarin and Massey continue to rate UND favorably and it sounds like some of the non-biased polls are going to carry a little more weight this year. -

No backpedaling, just don’t want to go down a tangent of ridiculousness that some carry into. @iramurphy couldn’t help himself. He went full blown hook line and sinker on that post, and his “posse” backed him up. On this forum, we still have some (probably the older generation termed “cotton-tops” I guess) who take things way out of context. My guess is topics are going to get derailed easily now because apathy has set in. Easy to get distracted. UND football under the current leadership just can’t maintain the regional excitement: too ridiculously inconsistent, and of course god awful on the road.
Quit making lame excuses, blaming other people and just admit you were never actually going to followup with your "threat" to show off your CV/resume and move on. No one actually believed that you would follow through on something and now you're just looking worse by refusing to own up to it.

You’re not wrong. Will Bill Chaves be in support of the general crowd or the experts? Likely the general crowd, because it’s cheaper.
In essence, the final four games of the season could be canceled. This season will already be considered a success, even if team went 4-7.
Continuing to argue against things no one actually believes.....

I think the NDSU win followed by the absolute embarrassment at Northern Iowa will be a 2-game stretch brought up as a point of debate for months, if not years. UND beat NDSU (still only 1 time out of 6 attempts in DI era) but then followed it up with absolute sh*t.
Is that overall situation (2-game stretch) interpreted as net positive or net negative?
The debate will live on. Given the overall body of underwhelming work, I interpret it as net bad (net negative).
Sad that you are already lining up your talking points for the offseason.
The fact that you think that is something that needs to be debated for months, let alone years, is kind of mind-boggling.-

Seidl time to shine.
Him and any freshman can play the rest of the season (outside of Tai, who can only play 3 of the next 4 and keep his redshirt)
Rucker's shirt is burned at this point as well. -

All I know is Feeney could have at a minimum put up the same amount of points as Schuster did in the second half.....ZERO. I can see still starting Schuster coming out of second half to see if could get something going, but we did nothing. Seems like to add a spark they could have put Feeney in at least for the 4th or something. Even if they did put in Feeney to start the 4th it wouldn't mean that he is the new starter going forward. Lost opportunity to see what Feeney could do in Live action in my opinion.
No disagreement from me. They should have put him in earlier than they did.
11 minutes ago, UND-FB-FAN said:Nevertheless, we’ve been at the “show me” stage for a while now with this program. I can’t understand how perennially bring 7-4 is okay with some, especially when you look at the FB budget, the continual opportunities blundered to be better than that, etc. The culture is currently damaged into accepting mediocrity (7-4 or 5-6 every season). Beating NDSU once in the past six attempts was nice, but this team is so fragile-minded on the road, that it is clear the staff is not doing their job. A signifiant part of football is the mental aspect, and the players are not motivated or confident on the road. That falls on the staff (namely Bubba). He admitted it. Their jobs should be on the line, but I doubt Chaves has the vision to follow through.
You're arguing against comments no one has made. Find me the people who are perennially OK with 7-4 or 5-6 every season. They don't exist except in your made up arguments.
Also, 2 weeks ago one of your biggest issues with the staff was that they couldn't win a big game (i.e. NDSU). Now that they did it, it's just a blip on the radar. No one is pretending that is the end goal, but it was a big step for the program and checked one of the boxes on your list.
"Jobs on the line" is a relative term. If AD's had the knee jerk reaction of the average message board poster, they would be so far in debt from buyouts and have no one willing to apply for the job.

The truth is we don’t know what we have in Feeney until he has the opportunity to sink or swim. Some guys are just gamers.
Agreed, we don't.
Also, going to assume the coaches have a more educated guess. It's literally their jobs on the line. They care more about wins and loses than the rest of us, particularly the ones that played here or have other ties.
7-4 is the current minimum bar this season (barring an epic meltdown) with 8-3 in play if they can win of those games that had mostly eluded them looming in Vermilion. Knowing that, I have a hard time thinking a QB change is the right play. That being said, there should've a realistic chance to see some backup play from 2-3 qb's the next two weeks. Maybe something pops?

Fishing for a game the UND offense and Tommy were in a funk, down 10+ in the 2nd half, then caught fire and won based on Tommy's performance. I just don't recall that scenario but as you mention, UND vrs YSU 2 years. Otis broke a 43-yard run.
Last year NAU was just an effort by Bo, very fortunate in that one!! I was at that game and don't think that fits.
Tommy's comeback record/scenarios are pretty shaky.
I mean, he's the one at the line, checking into plays/making the decisions on the RPO, handing it off or throwing to WR's.
Not what you were insinuating but does a QB without the experience he has make the right decision or even get that latitude? Not in most systems.

Win and things are looking good with breathing room.
Lose and last game of the season is a playoff game. Need to win it to keep playing.
Seems pretty straight forward but I see the dead horse cringing about his upcoming beating already.
