UNDvince97-01

It appears and has appeared for quite some time that.... This team always plays as well as the head coach coaches. The head coach's teams dont play D, arent tough, dont shoot free throws well and don't win on the road. He doesn't get the best and most out his players and they don't respond well to him. Lets not talk about adjustments and offense. Generally speaking, these characteristics have always been staples of Jones coached teams. Now tonight we are getting blown out by our in-state rival who is vastly undermanned talent-wise. Can someone tell me otherwise?...

Why is correcting a mistruth 'being negative'? I was simply pointing out he's wrong again....fact....

Ummm....ok....

In an absolute shocker, gfhockey is wrong again. There have been no transfer verbals yet.

Just another day for the FU Cow College fan base on the Internet. ^^^^^^^^^ It really is comical.

Total Defense 1 220.5 Rushing Defense 3 74.0 Passing Yards Allowed 5 146.5 Team Passing Efficiency Defense 5 96.27 Scoring Defense 2 11.0 Name that defense....

Hey buddy, your case of SPS is off the friggin charts....

Wow, that is exciting to see.

Now why do ya gotta go do that?... This type of thing isn't allowed in a discussion like this. Having said that, we will see if it holds.

Where do I begin? The FAIL is strong in this one....

This is a fascinating dynamic in that the general population thinks the student body is also a joke. (relatively speaking of course) I wonder which stereotype will be broken first and lead the way to solving the other stereotype?

That is a snap that absolutely needs to be handled properly by a holder at this level....The last spot to blame here is the snapper after watching the replay from many angles over and over. My apologies.....moving on now from this.

Looks good to me.

There was ZERO wrong with the snap on that FG. Any holder would tell you the snap was just fine. It would have hit him in the face. Nothing difficult there.

Sounds good in theory, but our AD is literally incapable of doing most of this. You know this as well as I do, Ira. I lost all confidence in him with how aloof and clueless he came across in the hiring process. The timing, the lack of knowledge on how college athletics and specifically football works nowadays, the lack of expedience, the lack of networking and headhunting skills - everything. His ultimate choice is/was a great one, but how he got there was an embarrassment to his profession and the UND Athletic Department. I personally am counting down the days until we have a new AD. It's the next step in rebuilding the overall character of our Athletic Department and University as a whole. Someone who loves UND and believes it's an honor to be there, someone who actually buys a home in Grand Forks. I get the whole "it starts at the top with the President" mantra, and I agree to a certain extent. However, I think President Kelley, at this point, is down the list of concerns when compared to our AD right now. I'm also concerned about our AD and his staff "wearing out" Bubba and his staff with the constant jumping through hoops BS in order to run a successful FCS program. It's ridiculous. Having said all of this. I'm super excited with the direction Bubba and his staff have this program heading and I can't wait to see what they can achieve with their own recruits and system over the years.

:lol:

Just looking for signs of more improvement and progression for the program. Today is another big litmus test for that. Many important recruits will be there watching. UND needs to show them in person it's going the right direction. Win or lose, I think they will today.

You said this.... I was simply pointing out that you got caught up in message board hyperbole in regards to the UCONN football team. Is UCONN a "good FBS" program right now? No. Would beating them do something for ANY FCS team in the country? Yes. It does and would "mean a damn thing" if we had and/or Stony Brook had beaten UCONN. That's all I'm saying.

Matt, we've done that at least twice already. Once as a D2 transitional program. You really would rather seen them beat SUU on the road than get an FBS win (which we have yet to do) on the road at UCONN? When you're out recruiting, what does more for a high school kid? "Hey we beat SUU at their place" or "Hey we went out to Big East FBS School UCONN and beat them on the road"?

So if UND had gone out to UCONN this year and won, that wouldn't have done anything for ya then huh?...

Here are some offensive variables I'd like to point out from the 2014 season to date: - our OL play past and present - our RB play past and present (plus injuries) - 2 of our best WRs are true freshman who have trouble getting off the line so far - 95% of our WR production from 2013 (pass happy offense) is gone, with a couple of them being 2 of the best to ever play WR at UND - and finally this number ----> 46% That is just screaming for the UND offense to open up the playbook is it not? We have what we have right now for personnel, and we are executing how we are executing, specifically in the passing game. I dont think there is a single person on here or UND fan in general who doesnt WANT to be able pass the ball more, much less Bubba and Rudolph. I promise that both men wish they could pass more effectively right now. Until one specific player steps up and proves otherwise, we can expect to see much more of the same because to put it simply, it's obvious it's all we can do right now. I'm not sure how you can try ask an offense without the requisite skills to execute something they've repeatedly shown they aren't capable of doing at this point. Bubba is playing the hand he's been dealt the best he can, whether it's what he or any of us want is a completely different story.

4-5 OL and DL each.....no question in my opinion. Needs 1 and 1a in this year's class.

Oh yeah? Why is that? Please enlighten us. I'm trying to figure out if this is a bit or if you really think you are that important? Sadly I think it's the latter.

Delete this thread please? This has nothing to do with UND Football.

Congrats to gfhockey. He has locked up the title of biggest idiot on this forum, and that's saying something. Good job buddy.
