UND-FB-FAN

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.

Nebraska gashed UND on the ground and UNI also scored on a couple long runs. Tough to watch. UND needs to shore that up. Corner spot opposite of Siegel is a major concern also. UND still plays SDSU and NDSU … UND will be playing plenty of good players yet. Raise expectations. This win won’t mean anything if team doesn’t continue to improve.

Students showed up. Intro could’ve been better, but was okay. Band continues to play a lot when UND is on offense. All in all, Alerus Center and UND athletic department are doing enough, but could do more.

Nope, wrong. Moving students had nothing to do with this. Coming off a 5-6 season doesn’t help. And Alerus Center and UND need to improve somethings in Alerus Center, but will discuss specifics some other time.

yeah, I’d go more with good day Today showed UND’s future opponents that UND has major defensive issues that need to be corrected

I agree with that.

Defense was god awful today. Offense won the game for UND. Three long touchdowns given up by UND defense … including a 1-play 70+ yard touchdown pass. Not good. Defense has some major work to do, but it can be improved …

UND 24 UNI 21

That’s fine, I expected some people to disagree. I think he’s average at best as a MVFC specialist, but he can serve multiple roles which is valuable.

Even Boise has white and black alternative helmets to deviate from standard blue going with another version of a green helmet would be a waste in my opinion. Some people wouldn’t even notice. i think you go with all white or all black for a change up to the status quo - would pop out much much more

Unpopular take, but I’ve never been too impressed with Skokna. Hoosman is a different type of player but overall is an upgrade. Isaiah Smith has star potential if can stay healthy. Like the 2 man backfield coming together, with some Red Wilson sprinkled in there.

Huge crowd, Danny boy

Well, I could say something to that effect but will hold off.

I would vote for all black helmet. Would allow for “black out” game

Adapt or get left behind. UND needs to stay ahead of the curve. Learn from 2004-2007 debacle (years NDSU was DI, UND stayed DII).

Feeney ship is sailing fast it sounds like … but time will tell.

That for the past 10+ years has been a topic of contention. UND and the Alerus Center just need to work together on it and get it right. Effort and vision (expectations), two keys pieces to a good result here and it is often lacking.

I would love a statement game, but for right now I am just hoping UND wins and is the better team in the 4th quarter. I know this is an emphasis (finishing games; be better in the 4th) but need to see it come to fruition. UND’s 4th quarters, including at the Alerus Center, have been not good the past season plus.

If you rewatch the game, there were called deep passes. They weren’t hit on; either missed throw or pressure/sack like you said. That’s why the average YPA stayed low. There is some truth to that low number, it needs to improve. More explosiveness = more points for our favorite team. hard to nickel-and-dime it down the entire field without a procedural penalty (especially on the road in front of 90,000) to screw up the drive. At the Alerus Center, the nickel-and-dime it plan works a bit better as long as UND offense is disciplined throughout.

For 2022, you are correct. although Simon Romfo has me curious for the future Don’t sleep on the transfer portal in this day and age of college football …

Uphill battle ahead of him as a throwing QB, misses on a lot of throws. Needs to work in that. he is an athlete though, always potential to use him in QB running packages or move him to different position ultimately only time will tell, but that is current outlook- still young player
