UND-FB-FAN

Nope. All weight rooms aren’t really the same. Being in one college weight room doesn’t mean you’ve been in all. Just look at where UND is now and where they were just a few years ago.

Not really … all you have to do is look at UND’s former and now new locker room and compare and contrast the two. UND has the largest locker room in the Dakotas, but more importantly, and perhaps to your point, the overall facility put together is the real game changer. Rarely ever have to step outside … GAME-CHANGER!

A+++ dude… obviously hope in the worst way he succeeds big time, in unprecedented ways. Now just need the institution and supporters to support him and the fb program in the way it deserves … cfb is king

Yeah, especially at UND. It’s quite ridiculous.

Ha! Alternative facts! Alternative facts! But, good for him. 1 atypical playoff win in 11 seasons - breathtaking. Onward. Bigger and better things to come.

Fact is the 2021 spring season was different relative to any other college football season … ever. That is the fact. Specifics can be discussed alternatively…

That 2020 season (which occurred in Spring 2021) was different than usual for numerous reasons and definitely deserves an asterisk (*). To say otherwise is blindly supporting the previous head coach who couldn’t get it done. UND’s only football division I playoff win should carry an asterisk since it occurred during an asterisk season. With all that, I am very hopeful UND is *now* primed for actual playoff wins moving forward. I’ve now hit my quota for how many times I can say “asterisk” in 2025. BUT, sorry to say for some of you deadbeats, my quota for posts in 2025 is quite a bit larger.

Exactly my thoughts

Would expect departures after spring ball and then the subsequent recruiting and arrival of defensive anchors (DL, edge, LBs). Big opportunity this spring with the large amount of pending available FBS transfer players…

Beyond a silly narrative. Poor leadership tends to lead you [UND] astray, who would’ve thought?

Both.

Not exactly breathtaking but I suspect you’re correct.

Not unreasonable.

Historically and per precedent, yes, it is possible. Burgum was very one sided in terms of the rivalry. But you’re new to UND and presumably these dynamics so you’re excused. The jealously is bizarre? I would argue quite the contrary- it is incredibly expected, actually.

Right. Just politics …

I’m pretty sure it can’t get any worse, so I think (and hope) it’s all going to just get better from here on out, but have to cleanse UND of all this negativity and pessimism also. It will come with time and success … after all, everyone loves a bandwagon, although the biggest motherf*ckin bandwagon sits in Fargo on the NDSU campus with the likes of Burgum and now Kelly Armstrong and such, but oh well, politics … Want to fix this? As the situation has always been, UND needs to do something about it (not wait because that hasn’t worked for 1.5 decades). It worked for South Dakota State, now it’s UND’s turn … be proactive and get it done. Things are happening to at least get the process started ….

Been sickening for some time (years).

Disgusting.

There will be opportunities, hopefully very soon, to show if he indeed will support both athletic programs, although many would prefer he support his alma mater preferentially. As a reminder, it is difficult to just support both, as they do compete head-to-head. His predecessor was quite one-sided despite the outside sentiment of supporting both. We’ll see with 2025 Kelly … I’m hopeful, although the Lets. Go. Bison. look is a bad start.

Already increasing actually, and I agree, it will continue to do so. There are current and soon to be enacted opportunities for all “supporters” to contribute - why wait? The most frustrating area has been state appropriation and departmental allocation, especially when looking at how NDSU has been treated by Burgum, NDUS and the legislature, and now apparently Armstrong is an NDSU guy …. Nonetheless, there are signifiant private opportunities for UND football and they are being and will be capitalized on. More opportunities to come, stay tuned …

Some skepticism is perhaps fair given uniqueness of this (and don’t say Mike Zimmer, that’s NFL and didn’t quite work out I’d say), but it could work. Uniqueness can be either really good or really bad. Time will tell.

Ironic; looking to self-flatter while stating don’t flatter yourself. Hilarious stuff from our local Cajun French forum “expert”.

If the AD were to make any adjustments, rather than micromanaging, it should be plainly increasing the salary pool so a quality DC candidate can be hired. But we’ll see how this HC/DC combo arrangement goes and go from there …

-6 years (2014-2019), not 8. -Overall record 37-32 during those 6 years. -Offense was an issue, not defense; offensive coordinator was fired and replaced in 2018. -hired away by Kalen DeBoer, current HC of Alabama, in 2019 But we know you have all the answers, Simple Dan, so you’ll probably be able to precisely predict how he does as a first time college head coach…

He and Danny probably should be thanked. 2025 UND football in a much better spot than 2024 UND football. As for Sam Hagen’s final year of eligibility, he’s staying with South Dakota St. in 2025 it seems. Oh well, UND has 4 returning starters on the offensive line, continuity at O coordinator and offensive line coach, and some decent depth.
