I’d ask the kicker to, but he would miss

So is that Bubba or Danny?

Siegel is the man!!

Seriously, why did they stop mixing Brock in?

Kett needs to be cut for that throw and punched in the throat for that haircut! Holy Siegel!!!!

Terrible defensive series

Anyone heard anything about skokna? Is he still not healthy?

Nice pick!

Came out sleeping

Hope so. I’m excited to see him over the next two years.

When is the last time we had a QB throw for over 200 in a half. very impressive showing so far, especially after last weekend.

More swing passes on that drive than the past few seasons combined

Doesn’t get much better than that drive to start a game. Well done!

Anyone know what Pluto channel this is on? i assume 530 but the game isn’t listed.

In Berry's first year, I remember seeing a player say something to the affect of, they were scared to let Hak down, but they just didn't want to let Berry down. There is something to both of those feelings, but I think the latter may be geared towards more established talented players (Caggiula, Boeser, Schmaltz, etc.), while the former produces better results from a team holistically at this level, given the transition from HS and Juniors, and the development they are going through. You don't want to have your team be scared of you, but you do want them to know what the expectations are and have them live up to those. I like Berry, but I would bring Hak back in a second. I was a huge fan of how he coached, what he got out of his player, and just his whole demeanor in general.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable!

Well maybe, but I'm not ready to put offensive woes on Freund at this point either. To your point, it goes higher, and I think a lot of that is Bubba and recruiting. O line is still a problem, D line is way to small. QB has never been emphasized.

sad, but true. I'll still watch, and I'll still cheer, but it is tough to have high hopes when the program lacks proper leadership. I actually though Bubba should have been gone before this year. He could have fired Rudy a year earlier, but chose to hold on to a guy that couldn't do the job. At that point he was just as much at fault as Rudy was. Getting rid of Rudy when he did was a year too late as far as I am concerned. Now Chaves will be in a similar position. Is he willing to make a change, or let the coaching issue linger longer than it needs to. If you can get the right coach, you can change a program fairly quickly. UND has just had an issue with finding that right coach.

Just saw that. I don't really care, so long as Bubba is finally held accountable when the season is over.

Couldn't agree more. Its actually not that different from Brad Berry ... seems like a great guy, but I don't want a coach that is a great/nice guy, I want a coach that recruits better that the next guy and wins. I'll give Berry this season to show some improvement, but Hak was 10x the coach that Berry has been. As for football, the only competent coach I have seen in my time a a fan was Lennon. Could he have led us through the transition to D1, maybe, probably better than Muss or Bubba. Would have gone a lot better if we had moved up at the same time as NDSU. Regardless, what do we do moving forward. Time to go find a new guy. Short of making a run and winning it all, I'm done with the Bubba regime.

People don't want to hear this from a Bison fan, on a UND board, after a terrible terrible loss... but that doesn't make your point wrong. UND absolutely needs to clean house. Fortunately, I think Chaves is a better person to hire a new coach than Faison was. At least Chaves comes from a school that has had success. That being said, the reason it was UND's game to have was that we didn't so much get pummeled by EWU as we beat ourselves with poor play and turnovers. UND absolutely could have won that game. Not sure if the weather would have mattered or the location would have made a differnce, but the bottom line is UND didn't get it done. I wanted Bubba gonna before last season... He lost me when he didn't can Rudy before last season. Kett has been a major disappointment. I have back the guy longer than most on this board, but this weekend's performance was just gutless. JJ has had his moments, but overall has shown why he did not remain at a Big10 school. I still see some talent on this team, but until it is used correctly we remain awful. Running Maag on a jet sweep instead of McKinney ... I will never understand not using your speed. This all looks very different if you beat UC Davis, but that will require a different team to show up.

Agreed, defense cam out slow but hung in there as the game went on. Offense was pathetic and the coaches made zero adjustments to change that. To be fair, the offense did make a nice attempt at a comeback but under no circumstance should a team ever have that many turnovers.

As a coach it seems dumb to try to save any redshirts, when you may not be around to use those players next year.

Can we afford Mike Houston

Common sense would say to start Schuster with a mix of boltman. So I’m fully expect the coaches to putt Kett back in to start a pivotal game next week.
