UND-FB-FAN

This is important. Players rally and take on the persona of their coaches, even during the moments of the game itself. Bubba and his staff need to lead and get this thing done … finally.

That would be absolutely ridiculous, but given their history and stranglehold, I don’t doubt it. UND just needs to take care of what they can control and take care of business.

Again, misinterpretation. Get over it.

You’re so lost. Fallacies non-stop from you. I tell it how it is. You won’t find a bigger UND football supporter, but I’m also realistic so I state what I think needs to change in order to take the next step. It’s called being proactive. Oh, and knowledgeable. “Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein So you can stop it any second. We all want the same thing, or at least I thought you supported UND. Go Hawks! Let’s get it this time, Bubba.

Was not the same play all three times. Formationally it looked the same, but on the last TD, Belquist ran a man beater; he went to the corner then came back hard to the pylon on design, where he caught the TD. This is different then the first two where he just ran a “rub” in the flats looking for a clear out. Im sure Danny Freund will have some new things up his sleeve for NDSU this weekend. Just hope it’s not too cute, because still need a good dose of Hoosman in the redzone. Don’t forget Quincy Vaughn too, just not out of punt formation …

I completely agree with you. This is being pushed and set up behind closed doors down in Fargo. Absolutely ridiculous but what else is new with Juice U?

To negate UND, this is being pushed by Fargo backers who have a stranglehold on FCS media. It’s ridiculous the objective here is clear; ndsu wants to beat UND then push UND out of playoffs - my God. Please just go beat those F’ers in their house this weekend and watch Fargo cry the Red River full in November

The switch from Peyton Lolytz to Danny Carroll is a major concern. High snaps aside, him being listed at 6-1 and 285 lbs is generous at best. More like 5’11” - 260 lbs. just not a DI center body type in my opinion, so to compound that with consistently bad snaps is disconcerting.

The presence of SDSU on UND’s schedule does increase the strength of schedule for UND. That’s a fact. The other opponents on the schedule are quite fluffy, though, with the exception of the big one this weekend: @ NDSU Its no secret that SDSU and NDSU should be the prime matchups and highlighted contests year in and year out for UND football

Also run by bizon ag school clowns … their stranglehold on FCS football is obsessive and tiresome

I completely agree. I have never been fooled by the “Hero Sports” masquerade. It’s quite sickening.

UND is on a 3 game winning streak. Let’s see how things go. I just want consistency and progress. Going from playoffs to a losing season is no way to build a program. It’s happened a couple times (2016 to 2017, 2021 seasons) to this program under the current staff and that propagates mediocrity. But maybe things are fixed now. We’ll see. But, like I mentioned, UND appears destined for playoffs this season so let’s see how it plays out.

Thanks, but no thanks, for the psychological assessment. Your entire rant was chaotic. It would be the healthiest to just stop worrying about my predictions and whether or not I’m right or wrong. - Henry Ford

I shouldn’t have to clarify anything, BUT, my comments still stand. Several of UND’s current players held only D2 offers when they were recruited by UND. Example: Tommy Schuster. Obviously, that’s not entirely true for entire team (there’s several FCS transfers and others who held DI offers). Also, some of those players with only D2 offers, like Tommy, have ascended big time. That’s more an exception, though, than the norm. UND still can and should boost their recruiting yield. Consistently making the playoffs should help. But again, I’m not sensitive, because I actually detail everything. The mafia on this site just swarms on the same damn thing without any justification. Funny how that works, huh? It is very sad that UND has a group like that associated it with it, but doesn’t surprise me.

They’re a good group. Brian Shawn is first class.

Yep… unfortunately

D2 roster and coaches that can’t coach? That’s not UND, to be clear. But things can still improve. They always can. Someone is a bit sensitive, huh?

Sure, there are “many” fans, but to be more specific, I hope that the Alerus Center can be sold out in the future as opposed to having only 9500 seats filled during important end-of-season games. Need to keep winning, need to keep improving, across the board.

I agree with this. The 4th quarter hype videos are way better than the intro hype video.

Ok dick

We’re talking about attendance, not which sport is more important. There are plenty of NDSU football fans who are UND hockey fans, but those fans don’t factor into this equation, because NDSU fans obviously aren’t going to be filling the Alerus Center regularly. Fans of UND often choose to attend one event or the other, not both, when they are scheduled on the same date. Too much commitment to attend both if you have family, daytime work scheduled, traveling family to cater to, etc. REA oftentimes gets the nod due to the nightlife aspect and aesthetics. Additionally, being it’s an evening event, work schedule and travel plans don’t conflict as much as an early afternoon game. Last but not least, the UND hockey reputation vs that of football is in hockey’s favor. To regularly expect fans to show up to both events on game days is not realistic. Just the reality of UND football occurring simultaneously with UND hockey. With that said, there’s enough folks around Grand Forks to ultimately fill the Alerus. If UND can win more and convince regional fair weather fans to buy in (e.g., beat NDSU), that will help attendance - no doubt.

Key to the game. I’ll take Tommy Schuster if it gets into a shoot out between him and Cam Miller. But the thing is, NDSU is going to do everything they can to prevent it to even get into a shootout. They’ll run the ball every play and play a super soft Cover 2 (bend but don’t break) waiting for UND to make a mistake and turn it over. keys: defense: UND needs to stop NDSU run offense: UND and Schuster need to make good smart decisions all game long. Turn the ball over, even just a simple fumble like against SDSU this year, and NDSU will get the crowd into it and run away with the game

The entire world knows this will be NDSU’s game plan (i.e., run the ball every play if they can), and NDSU is fine with that. Now it’s simply up to UND to stop it.

Don’t disagree with this one bit at all. The matchup of the game is NDSU offensive line versus UND defensive front. NDSU will take the air out of the ball running it at all costs to avoid having to have Miller throw.

Benchmark at UND is always to beat NDSU, whether one likes to admit it or not. Well, here we are: another opportunity to turn the tide.
