UND-FB-FAN

Played and coached high school football; no college. I have spoke to quite a few college coaches at high school football clinics over the years (including both UND and NDSU clinics) and I am a UND alumnus. That's about it, so I'm pretty armchair you could say. Hope that helps you, I guess. GO UND! Just as we expected; week 1 good, week 2 bad. Week 3 will likely set the tone for the remainder of the season. Beat the Bearkats!!! GO HAWKS!

Wow ... UND loses 45-3 today but according to some, since it was against an overrated FBS team, UND played just fine ... Not to mention people are again targeting me for being critical of a 42 point loss. Again wow, what a bunch of delusional losers on this board that UND football has for “fans”. Hope the inevitably different attitude from UND next week against an FCS opponent leads to a UND win. We should definitely be to able to win at the line of scrimmage; as for UND pass offense and pass defense, we’ll see ......

Just like Utah in 2017, which had everyone on here saying they were going to win the PAC-12, UND was lucky to be in the game, etc., I wouldn’t be surprised if Washington only wins 8 or 9 games this year. Washington is ranked way too high - they aren’t top 10 FBS

Stupid to some, realistic to most

No but lost 45-3 down 17-0 at halftime plenty of opportunity to do better I’m not the complacent type. If that is type Bubba and staff are, then UND’s ceiling is limited.

Yes, there was a HUGE opportunity there today (despite what some novices say). Needed to have 1) an aggressive mindset going into the game and 2) a competent passing game. UND did not have those two things; thus, they got blown out. The defense looked quite good though, which is obviously a positive.

Really? Obviously not; UND is a liberal arts public research university with a strong foundation in aviation, business, medicine, and law, among other programs not directly related to agriculture. I desire for UND to be the best team within their classification, particularly regarding the best and most popular sport in the country (not hockey). UND should be Ag U in football; that's the standard.

I just said its not about the W's and L's Catch a hint? Those 2016 and 2010 NDSU teams were better than probably any UND football team ... DAMN truth hurts heal up, get to work, and beat Sam Houston State

excuse me for my "pretty high standards" Participation awards for all!

What's a STFU? UND lost by 42 points. Not the worst thing but certainly not the best case scenario either. On to Sam Houston State ... need to win that game for big-time momentum purposes.

Hey Simpleton, its not just W's and L's UND had opportunities that they did not capitalize on because the moment was too big (4th and 1, red zone offense, 4th quarter against Washington's 2nd strings, deep passes, etc.). That is what worries me, not merely the fact that UND lost by 41 pts. Sure UND will likely go 7-4 this sesaon; that don't mean !@#$ to me when I expect them to be in the playoffs every season. You're wrong Darrell, again.

a bunch of coaches with no clear leader who actually believes UND can compete (which means try and WIN) against the "scary FBS"

season likely is lost with this offense sure wont be FCS National Championship which is the standard I have for UND after watching Ag U do it every single year

1-10 UND vs FBS teams ... BAD wyoming in 2015 ... very bad so good timing for UND ... let’s not crown UND over that !@#$ 2015 team

Blow out now ugly !@#$ this program right now

I think you and others get too wrapped up in FBS vs FCS ... it’s still football it was 10-0 in the 2nd QTR when UND had a 4th and 1 at midfield but opted to just punt why does NDSU beat FBS teams consistently? They don’t put them up on a pedestal; they just play good football and make the other team beat them. And as such the other team often doesn’t and NDSU wins Conversely Bubba just plays to be close cause “FBS scary”.

Remember, according to Bubba, a punt is not a bad play ... bull$%!# Bubba, especially when you punt over 10+ times in a single game!

Need some more aggressive calls. And after the season, new offensive coaches and players.

24-3 Washington

You don’t know unless you try hindset 20-20

Because run game was expected big runs have come on unexpected draws

Now the offense dies and leach actually makes one ... first of his career 17-3 Washington

Now score!

Awesome individual effort from Santiago

Bubba preaching “a punt is not a bad play” too much
