Damn do I hate being right all the time ...

Mascot is least of the worries right now. Try the football program leadership ...

Fumble on the goal line was the start of the disaster. A score wouldve put UND up 21-6. The second half was pure hopelessness. Possibly one of the worst 2 quarter stretches of football I’ve seen from UND under Bubba. The fact it happened with a semi-packed House (11,000 +) and with UND ranked just makes it that much worse. It’s like 2015 on repeat. The defense only gave up 6 points in the second half so I can’t be too critical of them, although the first half rushing defense was atrocious. The major issue here is obvious: the offense scored 0 points in the entire second half! The QB missed throws but ultimately the offensive line didn’t dominate like it needed to. Obviously they needed to run the ball in the second half and get a couple scores but the offensive front for UND again stalled in the second half. This horrible, momentum-killing loss is on both the players and coaches. *BUT the coaches recruit the players, so obviously it comes back to the coaches overall.

These are legitimate concerns and, unfortunately, I think you are right. Football was slowly downsized after 2001 and we now are where we are.

I liked him (“The Fighting Hawk”). Felt legitimate like other DI universities with their mascot. Now, as for the product on the field, that did not feel legitimate like other DI universities ...

Schmidt doesn’t walk on water, but when comparing UND’s offense to UND’s defense, it’s obvious which one is truly pathetic.

This is the worst; it’s become the absolute norm for UND under Bubba.Tom Miller’s article sort of predicted this would happen. The mental make-up of Bubba’s teams is lacking and it leads to no consistency.

Coaches recruit the players, install the schedule and expectations, and finally, on game day, call the plays. Blame always comes back to the coaches no matter how you spin it, particularly when looking at a large sample size (3+ seasons)

Obviously too emotional to talk about firing the whole works, but this program needs changes. Man this is a typical UND football season ruining blunder under Bubba. Tom Miller just wrote about this issue in the GF Herald. Damn this is typical bull$%!# repeating itself.

Fire Rudolph and this joke of an offensive crew

Since you need the entire situation explained for you: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4502705-potato-bowl-und-looks-handle-momentum-better

Bit sensitive much? Losing after a big win or just barely pulling out a sloppy 3 point win has been the norm for UND under Bubba. Best predictor of the future is the past. Sorry bud that you can’t see that. Here, Tom Miller even wrote a story about it to help you understand: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4502705-potato-bowl-und-looks-handle-momentum-bettered I hope UND crushes Idaho State.

In college football, with polls and such, just winning doesn’t get it done unfortunately. How you win does matter.

UND just held Sam Houston State to 23 points... at their place. No way UND should allow more than that in the Alerus Center to Idaho State ... UND 24 Idaho State 17 UND offense continues to struggle to put up points

In other words, UND football will once again be UND football ... Damn, was finally hoping to see something new and improved from “Bubba Ball” We’ll see who’s actually right tomorrow: the cautionaries or the revolutionists?

Time for UND to take the next step and start winning with a sense of dominance. Don’t know about you, but I’m sick of playoff-less seasons.

Right, they’re the second coming of Idaho football. Oh wait, they’re shlt too. I expect a win by 21 + or else I’ll be disappointed; close win would be a missed opportunity in front of a big Homecoming crowd.

An offense magically appears all of a sudden ...

Just win baby! Day by Day. On to Idaho State!

That is my early prediction for the top 3 teams. Only 3 weeks so far with no conference games - things can obviously change yet.

I completely agree. UND and Bubba need to show something for the fans. The fans will be expecting a big performance with the hype coming off the Sam Houston State game. Whether some like it or not, the fact is in college football - with polls and such - style points are actually very important and winning 7 to 3 (although a win) with plenty of beloved punting is just not good.

Really, besides a few select teams that are highly overrated (Montana, Montana State) and the scenic locations, the Big Sky Conference is !@#$. Weber State appears to be the only real contender this season although EWU and Montana got a shot. Hello and good to see you MIssouri Valley Football Conference.

When you beat a top 5 team on the road, and you are undefeated against FCS competition (2-0), you should be a top 25 team. Idiotic if UND doesn’t at least make #25 in polls. All in all, though, UND needs to just keep winning and that will get them in the polls.

Agree with this. His ability relative to the Offensive Coordinator is certainly different.
