They vented a bit over losing the bid to Nicholls........
"Which leads me to my next rant: how did UND not lock up a home game? Here are the facts: UND was 6-0 at home and looked pretty damn good in most all of those games (minus parts of Montana State & UNC). They were 1-4 on the road and looked horrible at times but did rebound with a solid effort out at Weber State. Still, they were 1-4.
The UND offense is much, much better inside the cozy confines of the Alerus Center. In 2019, they scored 47, 27, 38, 16, 45 & 36 points at home. On the road they scored 7, 20, 20, 30, and 27. That’s an average of 35 points at home vs. 21 on the road.
One big thing that UND needs to do to take the next step as a program is to win a playoff game. They have made the playoffs twice and been a seed one of those times. But they have never won a playoff game. This was a very realistic chance at getting that monkey off their back and they got outbid by Nicholls State, who never should outbid UND for anything. Their athletic budget is around 10 million dollars. UND’s is right around 22 million.
UND should have hosted this game and I can guarantee they would’ve looked better than they did on Saturday down in Thibodaux. Call it sour grapes, whatever, but if there was ever a time to go big it was with this 2019 edition of UND Football. 6-0 vs. 1-4 is the only reason needed."
