UND-FB-FAN

No. Just my opinion on Chaves’ perception. Hope he proves me wrong.

He says the right things, but read between the lines. He’s ecstatic to have a change-up from EWU and to be able to focus on mostly hockey.

It should be a game format with a score, even if heavily controlled/scripted just so the players and fans have something to look forward to. Can’t have authentic scrimmage in HPC as it isn’t a full 120 yard field - need Alerus Center for that. And could have tailgating, video board introductions and team entrance, concessions going in concourse, halftime band entertainment, etc. Create a game-like atmoshphere to build hype for the upcoming season. *It is done around the entire country.* UND football and Bubba are still in the Stone Age.

Thus far, this AD (Chaves) is more “Hockey over everything else” than Faison was ... I hope he proves me wrong.

This is beyond wishful thinking; way to be optimistic, though.

Bubba is a fool for not having a “Spring Game” at the Home of UND Football. Please see my previous posts for more details.

Brock Boltmann is a better athlete than QB. Love that Freund’s offense has a place for these talented players. Allows the talented playmakers to get on the field - whether at QB, WR, slot, RB, TE, etc. Simplicity of the offense allows for players to play and know multiple spots. Much improved from the previous coordinator’s antique offense...

Are you okay? Wow.

Can never beat this. They need to wear it more, honestly.

Those are Nike uniforms that were available to UND from 2012 to 2014. The above photo is from 2012, when Greg Hardin had a huge game against the Griz. Currently, UND is sponsored by Adidas, so black jerseys would now need to be Adidas. Therefore, what you see above is obsolete. I like the look, though, and the former players from that time did also. Would be nice to have black Adidas uniforms as alternates to the Kelly Green mainstays.

That would be a nice touch. I just think the gray jersey is pointless. The gray pants and eventually the gray helmet are fine due to historical significance. I still think UND should have gone with an alternate black jersey, black pants look.

Do some research. Until then I won't waste my time. UND had a winning season in 2018, which is good. They need to make the playoffs, though.

UND can do no wrong. All hail Bubba. c’mon folks, see the light.

The funny thing is, all the little things add up to form or not form the results we all want. The details are key, including things that initially seem trivial like poorly organized spring games, nose guard depth and uniforms.

And there it is. Sad state of affairs for UND football. Blah

I respectfully disagree. Should be at the home of UND football: the Alerus Center.

Grey instead of black for the University of North Dakota was just dumb. Another Bubba mistake.

When you aren't drawing a crowd, do something then to actually draw a crowd. Again, UND settles for second fiddle. Your low expectations and apathy in defense of this says it all.

I agree. Many will cite what they see as practical issues, such as the Alerus Center not being available, but these things are merely poor excuses. If UND and Bubba ACTUALLY wanted to make UND Spring Football an event to build hype - such as a Spring Game at the Alerus Center with tailgating, halftime entertainment with the band, etc. - they certainly could do it with advanced planning. Instead, UND football tends to settle for second fiddle.

Unreal. This comment is damn poetic. Cheers to you, my friend. Go UND and Go Danny Freund.

I expect it to be Ketteringham. As said before, his numbers weren’t horrible last season and he was playing in the offense where QBs go to die. Sorry, but wipe the slate clean when it comes to QBs + Rudolph. Too many arm chair QBs have been tough on Ketteringham. Ketteringham has the potential with a uptempo spread offense which is what Freund will run. Also, he had some moments, such as the 2018 Montana game.

I’ll believe unofficial word of mouth in this one. [football program > individual student-athlete] is all we’re seeing here as far as lack of official statement goes.

It wasn’t caffeine.

I suggest you do some research. There’s this fancy new thing called “Google”.

Why not just play all the games in the HPC? I hear the new shiny bleachers are awful fancy ... HPC is tremendous for routine practice and access when weather is how it’s been, but is it really designed to replace Alerus Center? C’mon ...
