UND-FB-FAN

UND needs to be able to recruit and retain coaches beyond North Dakota. No one here, man. You want Joe Shmoe off the street to coach the running backs or any other position for that matter? That’s basically what UND is getting at this point with the salary they offer people …

Thanks for that wonderful story. Glad 29K/year treated you so well. But … you missed the point completely. Like way over your head. It’s about competitive values here. Any high caliber DI position coach is worth a hell of a lot more than 50K in a season, particularly compared to top FCS schools, and especially all FBS school. If you were offered the same job in Fargo at a different company/location for 50K as opposed to 29K, which would you take? C’mon man ….

Compared to what? All FCS programs? Sure. Dakota football programs (USD, NDSU, SDSU) - no

UND football is severely underpaying everybody. Period. it’s not just NDSU comparison. do better. If you’re UND athletic department, look beyond f***king hockey.

Need to pay assistant coaches better. Listing reports less than 50k salary - ridiculous for a DI program. UND football pays their assistants like horseshit. UND needs to get serious about football or else will be constant revolving door.

Most ADs are … Tough talking about people/human beings this way, but UND needs some passion combined with intelligence in their athletic department. In my opinion, it’s currently lacking and has been for some time.

Microcosm of the dysfunctional culture of UND athletics …

Collegiate athletics and UND athletics are day and night different now compared to the 80s…

UND has below average team. NDSU has above average team. Game played in Fargo. Result: as expected, NDSU wins by double digits. State of the program: HC Sather has been underwhelming at UND. Not successful hire thus far. Big picture, How does UND Basketball succeed in the shadow of UND ice puck? Obviously, Chaves doesn’t have the answer. Again, like Sather, Chaves has been an underwhelming hire also.

Oh Tommy, so so damn good …. He engineered a whopping 10 points again the bizon. otherwise, UND offense pretty dang special, 24 points per game … UND needs to do better

?

Fun game, until the end. Oh, and yeah, much of fan base gone that date also because of, you know, hOcKeY

Holy! you think otherwise? Holy!

Right … so NDSU has won multiple FCS national championships due to good fortunate aka “luck” and has nothing to do with their players and coaches just being good … hmm, interesting take. I don’t agree. I think it appears like good fortune but that’s just from the perspective of hoping they lose. It’s really just a good team/program making good things happen for them.

Low. Bubba loves UND, and I enjoy Bubba as a person, but he needs to retire/resign for UND improvement sake.

Anyway you spin it, today should be a positive day for UND. Should be able to at least project many of these recruits working out here at UND. It happens that way everywhere around the country on signing day: a day to celebrate years of hard recruiting by the staff. Of course, what actually happens with this class 2 to 3 years from now remains to be seen. For now, let’s all giggle and laugh and hope this class is the one that puts UND over the top.

You two are a couple special @Q!(%$*&#Q%

Again in the semifinals. Top seeded remaining team. Seems to me they are still pretty darn good. For U of North Dakota, have to beat the best to be the best. North Dakota State still remains on top. A lot of work to be done.

I think he can be a good player, but when it comes to offensive line, need five good ones. Hope UND can get another good one or two, otherwise have to really hope current players take a BIG step forward this offseason.

I don’t know, ask Bubba

Bet $ 1,000,000 you’re wrong he’s going P5, maybe no scholly to start, but eventually he will be on scholarship UND lost top talent, when they didn’t have much to begin with

I’m sure many (most) do like Bubba, but these student-athletes are allowed to have an opinion of their own, and after a losing season, some most certainly have negative opinions. We tend to focus on what pulls these kids into the transfer portal, but are we really that confident there also aren’t push factors?

Otis leaving isn’t a good thing for UND anyway you spin it. Hyping up Ziebarth and Smith is a nice distraction though. Also, you of all people I would expect to not care about who the RB is but rather just focus on OL, which I think is important. OL needs to improve if Ziebarth and Smith will do anything …

No I don’t know 100%. But you can believe in unicorns and fairies all you want, doesn’t make it true.

Answer: yes. They see what many of us see.
