UND-FB-FAN

Well, there are issues with UND football’s winning mentality, and, therefore, also consistency under Schweigert. With that said, the comments from Weah are still way out of line considering what UND did for him to get him on the field.

October 1, 2022 - will be one game this season to look forward to.

Proud of Waletzko, hope he keeps impressing. Big things coming for him, obviously, but also UND football program should be proud too.

This right here is a major liability for the offense. Exactly why QB position is so important to the offense and the entire team. You are basically suggesting that the best we can do with Tommy Schuster to ignite the deep passing game is to throw up 50/50 balls … ouch

This is the main wildcard. If he is a good player, the corps will be better. If he’s a bust, then I worry this receiving corps will be status quo and not nearly explosive enough.

Should be plenty of stories to talk about until Fall camp and thereafter. ding - ding … that’s a call out to the media/GF Herald to do their job and write up at least one UND football related article per week. That’s not too much to ask. Im saying the above knowing full well that some of you will defend the Hearldo tooth no matter what (which is sure to bring criticism from you board experts).

Minneapolis ignores speeding and driving with a suspended license? News to me. I get what you’re trying to say, but being from Minneapolis doesn’t explain anything in this case (nor should it).

For sure. Experienced back with plenty of carries while he was at UNI. Just need to hope he has a healthy 2022 and then he’ll be a great contributor. go Hawks

The portal has finally giveth! yes, this is definitely a much needed positive addition

Yeah, it’s disgusting. Not good

yes

If I had to guess, Waletzko is going to go in the 3rd round. Great player and great success story for UND football. Need to keep it going - momentum is only "so-so" right now for UND football from my perspective.

The waning attendance speaks to a lot of UND football failures, not just spring football.

Wrong. You obviously don’t get out much. Thanks for your opinion, though.

The “home of UND football” doesn’t really feel like the home of UND football. This dysfunction is noticeable if you look at it from all angles.

Sure. Fact: not a game format. Fact: no tailgating. Fact: not held in Alerus Center. Fact: big ten programs and MVFC still hold spring events in home stadium. Nothing made up there, but keep getting defensive; it’s entertaining.

You’re missing the point, per usual.

At UND with Bubba … sure. But nearly all Big 10 programs still hold an event at their home stadium to give the fans something to cheer about, if nothing more than to just get together before the fall. Several MVFC teams also do this. UND being scared of the Alerus Center for a “spring wrap up” is telling. Do a tailgate in the lot and then a pregame production in the Alerus to at least give UND fans something to do. The lack of marketing for UND football is somewhat scary.

Feeney better than Schuster?! Blasphemy according to the masses on this board … And the facility that should be showcased should be the game day facility (Alerus Center), unless they’re embarrassed by that … just don’t agree with that recruiting tactic. Bubba going conservative is a recurring theme. Retirement from coaching will be a nice transition for Bubba, hopefully sooner rather than later.

The “spring wrap up” is today. bush league in my opinion. UND still can’t figure out how to do a spring football game at their home venue of the Alerus Center. Would be nice to make an actual event out of it- even if only 1000 or 2000 people show up. Still builds more excitement for the team than another practice in their practice facility. Just my two cents. Hope no one gets hurt.

Nah

The difference is, at NDSU, the culture and masses focus on football. The majority of funds goes towards football. At UND, the culture and masses focus on hockey. The majority of funds goes towards hockey. Simple difference, but it is, in fact, the difference. For UND football to ascend further, there will need to be a major financial gift (like UND once received from RE for REA). That is the only path moving forward where a significant change in fortune comes for UND football. If UND had a $100 million facility for UND football, which sport at UND would be the most popular? Money talks, directly and indirectly to fans as well as it creates the culture. For UND hockey, pretty darn hard to overlook a frickin’ massive $100M Arena in place for hockey games. Will UND ever again receive a gift (individual or collective) that trumps Engelstad’s gift for hockey? Doubtful, but that’s what you have to hope for for the sake of UND athletics, specifically football.

Probably

It is what it is - mediocre in football and basketball - but it is beyond disgusting. Change needs to happen at the top, and currently, for UND athletics, the top cares principally about hockey.

Maybe? I would use a different word.
