    Completely different operation this current coaching staff is running.

    Officially “next level” … and it feels so good.

    UND Current Roster - DTs and DEs mixed together.  Eckhert and Bell at 295 lbs haven't played a snap.  Blegen at 295 has 4 tackles.  The St. Thomas kid is listed at 290 and 6'2".  The Sac St. guy is 6'3" and 285 lbs and has as many knee injuries in college as tackles.  Maybe looking OK on paper but what's the level of JYD?

    Time will tell. Everyone will be skeptical until we actually see the run defense produce on the field, and there’s ways to make that happen with the current group…

    OK, that would make some sense.    We don't have a DT over 300 lbs........potentially going to get pushed around.

    Have to hope the two FCS transfers, Olagbaju (St. Thomas, and who is over 300 lbs by the way) and Henry (Sac St), make major gains this summer and fall. They are both early in their careers with a lot of potential…

    • UND's off-season (compared to other MVFC teams). I think they did the best retaining starters out of any team. Fine with portal additions. Compared to previous years UND teams, this was the best off-season they've had in the portal era. 
    • Coaching. This is where I'm buying the most stock. From X's and O's to team mentality. It's going to be a night and day difference. Not only is Schmidt the real deal, but I think we'll also find out that Bubba was incredibly bad at it all. 
    • Defense. No detail needs to be given, really. The last 3 years have been beyond embarrassing. 

    Agree with all of this though!

    This should go under the ol everyone is bored and doesn’t have enough real problems list. UND fans and people from Grand Forks in general are always looking for any excuse to bitch.

    So true. I've seen it alot especially when teams were losing. People would complain about coaching. Sometimes it's the players that need to take charge and run with it. 

    Ignorance is bliss. Oh, and coaching matters (by the way, they do the recruiting in collegiate athletics). This isn’t tee-ball. Just look at the overhaul in UND hockey and football recruiting and player management over the past 6 months … coincidence that coaches changed also? No.

    Where is their office?  Doesn't UND already rent out the entire first floor?  Curious if they are mixed in with the athletic department offices there?

    This would require actual support from UND, not just lip service …

    Chavez is a master negotiator 

    After a few discussions with people I respect, and months/years of introspection, I’ve come to the opposite conclusion. New (and better) AD, please…

    I’d be fine with Bubba taking over that spot. Good things happened back in the day when Roger Thomas went from FB HC to AD (minus the decision to not go to D1 along with xDSUs).

    Tell me one person after last season predicted recruiting class like coach Schmidt and staff is putting together.  I'm in awe.

    Coaching matters. Bubba was on autopilot. Schmidty is a dawg!

    Keep this up and we're going to look like a Top FCS program running onto the field, lots of height besides RB which doesn't matter.

    Gotta have the frame … and we’re getting it now. it’s a new era for UND fb. Thank you Schmidty … plus everyone else stepping up to support and get this thing where it should be

    We aren't on this list. Hoping this is the last time we are not on this list going forward. Our schedule is tough this year with going to K State snd Montana on the road early on. Would definitely turn some heads if we can pull off an upset at Montana. 

     

    Schedule will always be tough. To be the best you’ve got to beat the best. Enough schedule whining … UND program and its fans need to move on to bigger, better topics. 

    *12-0 in ‘25

    *if that pesky Valparaiso don’t get us…

    What? That's impossible! No one would ever choose UND over NDSU!!! :wink:

    Oh, don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll get the meatheads from ag central telling us any second now that he’s overrated and they didn’t want him anymore …

    Like I said earlier, GET YOUR POPCORN READY!

    Schmidty played 'Z'eke in the 3-4.

    Just a random thought.

    I do not. 

    However I have deduced from the Internet and believe there's a Nebraska HS kid in this week for a visit with an imminent decision looming.

    We shall see what happens.

    To say I am loving all of this would be a major understatement…

    You've said the same BS for the last 10 years, Nostradamus you're not.

    Happy Easter. I was awaiting your inevitable response. I don’t claim to be Nostradamus, because I don’t need to be, but I am steadfast in my values and observations. It’s been much longer than 10 years, by the way. Carry on with the pathological celebration and support of your corrupt valueless institution and its posse. 
     

    UND > ndsu ag college

  16. Give it time. Announcement (big one) tonight …

    Confidence, swagger and belief goes a long way. UND and the football fanbase are finally getting some of it back.
