Thanks! So what are the thought on this kid? Obviously SUU wasn't very good, but how much of that is on the QB?

Anything less than a sweep .... blah blah blah ..... unacceptable!

I don't know anything about Helbig, but if he were to transfer, wouldn't he have to sit a year? So we would still be needing more for next season. I'd like to see them look hard for a FBS grad transfer. I doubt we will find another Braden Hanson, but maybe you can get someone to step in who has good experience.

I wouldn't say everyone is focused on Cedric, so much as there was a single "what if" comment that got blown out of proportion. Now, if he was interested in coming to UND, I'd be interested in having him. On principal, I understand what Geaux_Sioux is saying, but I don't think our program is in a position to turn away anyone with talent that could potentially help us (with the exception of bringing in kids that have significant issues; criminal records, booted from other teams, etc). String together some winning seasons, playoff appearances, playoff wins, and maybe a championship and we can start being picky. Beggars can't be choosers, and seeing this program in the D1 era, I don't think we can be choosers. I guarantee if the kid came in, competed, and played well, nobody would care about the commitment to try the FBS route. We have preached the need for competition and depth on here, especially at the QB position. I'll take anyone, with talent, who is interested. That being said, unless it is actually announced that the kid wants to transfer, the whole conversation is moot.

I would say the logic of this whole conversation is off. Isn't the addition of the scoreboard an upgrade put in place by The Ralph, to maintain their own building? Not a reward for performance or lack there of. They do this type of thing every year ... you put in a first rate building, you want to keep it that way. That being said, if someone really wants to compare program success, the sample size should be larger than the last 2 seasons (The only bad seasons hockey has had in the past 15 or 16 years) Regardless, I do agree that nobody is popping champagne about UND Football. Making the playoffs is nice and all, but it didn't even seems like something to get overly excited about, give how we played the last few weeks. We were exactly smoking teams, and we played some pretty bad ones. I think the reality is that UND had some talent, but no depth. We lacked consistency and coaching; especially situational coaching. Bubba and Co. were all to often just fine settling for a FG or a punt, and even when they would take a chance the call seemed fairly boneheaded. To me, Bubba seems like a really nice guy, I just don't think he is the guy to get this program where the fans would like to see it. I think by making the playoffs, he secures is position next season, because they won't want to buy out his contract; but short of doing something amazing next year, I don't see him getting an extension. I could be way off on this, just my personal opinion. Hopefully, Chaves (despite what he tweets) has an ongoing list of potential coaches.

I don't look at those number, but I could have sworn Bryce Blair shrunk year over year, haha. I know that isn't true, but the kid would not gain weight!

Correct, there were few bright spots. Mainly wanzek and toivenen. Overall, a horrible game for UND and a few hours of my life that I won’t get back.

Personally, I don’t see any way next week has any impact on Bubba, and I could care less who wins.

Not blaming the D for the loss, plenty of blame to go around, but our run D was completely laughable.

Make no mistake, there will be questions about if S. Illinois deserves to be in over us. Based on resume, No. Based on potential for a better performance, definitely. Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody know what would have happened, but given our performance, it does not look like we deserved or cared to be there. Sad showing overall, mostly by the D. wanzek showed heart playing through injury. Toivenen (Toy-Von-En) looked solid. Bummer to see some of those seniors go out like that. Hoping for some changes before next season. Whether that be coaching, coaching style, team approach or otherwise.

Hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see us coming back here.

Bubba is so gutless! horrible clock management at the end of the half. It was like he knew throughout the drive he only wanted a FG.

Team looks like trash so far. Nice to see some of the passing game working, but stop going away from what is working.

Any word on wanzek?

There is a first time for everything

N-O-R-T-H D-A-K-O-T-A

NCAA sanctions to be announced Monday.

Did we win? Lol

More likely to get another transfer or FBS dropdown than get Zim another year, IMO.

What a joke. I don't care who you are, or who you are playing, this is pathetic. If your renovations aren't complete until 2020, then don't host a playoff game until 2020. The team doesn't need cushy or comfort, but this is just stupid. Whatever ... beat their A$$

So Wanzek is probably a big question mark after being in a sling Saturday, but we can hope, right? How about everyone else? - Mckinney doing ok? - Thought I hear Gee was banged up, so hopefully JJ and Gordon are good to go to get some extra reps, but I want to see them keep feeding Skokna. What other injury news is there?

So do you dress him this weekend, but try not to play him and save his for NDSU if possible?

A sweep would be perfect, but padding the statbook would just be ... gravy.

Dad jokes are the best!

Why is there so much talk about the Bison right now? I'm pretty sure we are playing Nicholls.
