UND-FB-FAN

No sound. Sketchy ESPN plus … Should’ve let Midco down there to cover it … greedy bastards

Hate to extrapolate how the season is going to go based on FBS vs FCS scores, but if one does that, UND hasn’t convinced anyone they are an FCS playoff team. Nebraska is horrible. UNI crushed by Air Force. Air Force lost to Wyoming, which got crushed by Illinois. Northwestern beat Nebraska, and Southern Illinois is tied with Northwestern at halftime. This all means little, other than UND has a lot of proving yet to do. Need to overcome history and put together a couple road wins @ NAU and @ SIU to keep UND fans engaged and excited when UND returns home to play Missouri State on 10/1/22. Too easy for apathy to set in for UND fans with hockey season around the corner …

Your cousins son chose the “right team” and better school. Congratulations!

UND technically could still wear green helmet, white jersey, green pants if they wanted to …

Exactly, And they remain damn popular …

Yeah, I don’t buy any of that. That’s the kind of dismissal that keeps UND football mediocre. When were there ever suites in the end zone at the Alerus? - Never Can’t see anything with ground level suites? ground level suits are a huge draw all over the country - both in college football and in professional football. It’s not all about sightlines; it’s about being in a suit with food and booze and you also would get great views when the teams are at the respective end zones.

History repeats itself NAU 28 UND 24 hope I’m wrong

Honestly, this type of forward thinking is needed. it’s realistic to a certain degree get some money and let’s build some suites on ground level and have the rails on both sides be general admission bars like the clubs at the Ralph … big time potential if taken seriously

The entire defense has had major lapses throughout the first two games. The secondary is 1a because the 3rd and long conversion vs Nebraska was the critical play that gave away momentum for good. That same secondary gave up a 70 yard touchdown pass against UNI at the most inopportune time. With that said, the run defense/front 7 is 1b as an issue; it’s also been very suspect these first two games giving up big runs.

It’s a sample size of 2. UND secondary is number 1 culprit for UND losing to garbage Nebraska

Keep winning. Don’t choke. Polls don’t matter til FCS playoff selection time.

Northern Arizona will definitely score more points against UND then they have in their previous two games combined… UND secondary as a whole is scary bad … with that said, UND offense has potential to grab the win.

Been going on with UND football since 2008 …

You wonder why UND chokes in everything? One of the few schools (especially at their size) that has more internal competition between fellow athletic department programs than with their actual opponents … Also, internal competition within the fan base with this damn logo/nickname issue … It never ends …

Need someone to lead the fundraiser, reach out to UND football alumni base - which is large. We would get this thing paid for pretty quick, just need a leader to rally this thing. If no one steps up, I’ll look into it with the Alumni Association and Champions Club. Biggest decision/question is white or black helmet?!!

I agree can’t do another green, would be a waste. Do either black or white. grey jerseys are retired, and for good reason. They were hideous. Stick to green, white, and black.

UND could’ve forced this change, but instead Georgia Southern did the honors …

UND gave up dagger passes and runs in 4th quarter vs Nebraska. They also gave up big passes and runs vs UNI. I hope this gets corrected and doesn’t continue to be an issue, or it will cost UND several games this season. 2022 UND football team through two games is an offensive football team with the defense being a liability.

Nope. I come from a coaching background. Always things to improve. Get your hand stuck/caught in the cookie jar and you won’t get any more wins … Being a UND football fan, you should be more than familiar with this concept. It’s been rough to UND football since going DI, particularly trying to stay consistent.

Grand Forks is an isolated cultural colony of hockey surrounded by a nation of cultural obsession to American football. It’s interesting, and sort of disturbing… Interesting 20 year effect that the Engelstads put into motion by providing Vegas money.

Remove curtains from catwalk. Allow anyone up there to watch game like the good ol’ days but also have some seats for reserved seating. Best of both worlds … Need better intro, more suspense, more excitement bigger more expensive idea; construction project that allows natural light into building

Oklahoma will win. UND should’ve beat Nebraska. That 4th quarter collapse is not looking as excusable now.

Could be … Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Would like to see this squad be able to win a single road game before claiming them the next great thing. NAU game is definitely winnable but it is a road game at high elevation … NAU just beat Sam Houston State in Huntsville. UND will need to improve and not be stagnant. Have to prevent the big play better.

Nebraska is a fraud. UND losing by 21 points is actually looking very disappointing now. Furthermore, we are seeing concerning themes on defense; that is, UND gives up big plays on the ground and through the air. Need to see some improvement. In the short term, fortunately, it doesn’t look like Northern Arizona has a great offense this year, but will UND make them look good?? Let’s see if Bubba and Holinka and the team can bolster the defense by 9/17…

Since Halloween 2018, UND is 16-1 at home with the lone loss to FCS superpower North Dakota State by six points. If just winning was the simple solution, as some on here claim, then UND/Alerus Center should be seeing sellouts. That’s not the case. Perhaps start winning on the road and attendance will boost? it goes beyond that; Alerus Center needs to change things. It’s okay, just not great, right now. The intro could be way more energetic and suspenseful. But that’s just a minor thing that wouldn’t influence attendance. Bigger picture, a construction project that lets in natural light would maybe be a more expensive but more promising way to boost the Alerus Center atmosphere.
