UND-FB-FAN

There are a good 500 to 1000 "NDSU fans" at every UND hockey game. It is what it is. Those 500 to 1000 would sure make a nice impact at the Alerus if they followed UND football.

Many UND hockey fans are NDSU football fans. What do they have in common? They both aren't true fans and they settle for winners (bandwagon fans). Until NDSU football CLEARLY goes behind UND via a head-to-head loss, it may be tough to convert UND hockey-only fans.

Spread the word, buy some tickets for family and friends or just hand the suckers out. Be proactive. Culture change has to start somewhere. It's not even on all the supporters for the big first step; Bubba and the team have already completed the initial steps. Dont settle for the lazy excuse of contemporary inadequateness.

We aren't a contender now? Shame on you. Don't feed the pessimists. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE. The teams in Missoula, Bozeman, and Fargo were all at one time "non-contenders" that ended up winning their first DI national championship.

@ Sacramento State 40-7 win for UND

Sure, UND will likely be playing a tight game right to the end, but it's okay to have a little confidence that UND might win by a wide margin. UND football and its supporters have work to do in terms of lifting their expectations. Bubba has adjusted by openly mentioning national championship aspirations (I definitely applaud him for that), now it's the fans' turn. Go Hawks! Go for the big win!!

Didn't quite catch the verbal irony, did ya? The insecurity is strong in you. Go Hawks!

SD > Poly > SDSU > NDSU oh, wait

Thanks for your opinion.

Big Sky Conference looked quite mediocre today.

This is a broken record. Same crap every season. Would you all like to actually support a UND men's basketball program that can annually compete for the NCAA tourney? If so, let's hope for the "I wont say it" next spring. Look at what Bubba's hiring has done for the football program despite some advocating for more Mussman football. Well, the same can be done for UND men's basketball if Faison cuts ties in the spring.

Sometime next spring would be the best scenario.

Yeah, need to say the right things. With that said, BEAT THE SPIDERS! Expect the win, people. Go Hawks! UND can stonewall Richmond's offense if they play fast, physical, and assignment sound. Oh, and some loud, energetic fans in the stands won't hurt either!

Very possible considering it will be the first road start for Richmond's QB. To UND fans: GET TO THE GAME THEN PROVIDE NOISE FOR THE UND DEFENSE!

I really do think that with some crowd noise and a crazy UND defense flying around that UND can win by a couple scores. Go Hawks! Need to play dominant! Go UND!

UND will likely be hosting Richmond. Richmond's top receiver, #12 Brian Brown, is a very talented player. Big matchup looming between him and UND's Deion Harris.

Amen

Exactly. UND's offense is entirely dependent on the play upfront. Fortunately, I expect them to be rested up and ready to open big holes for Santiago and Oliveira.

Richmond's quarterback situation likely isn't going to allow them to win this game. Long way to go, though. UNDs defense and our crowd noise needs to be ready for whoever!!

UND MBB doesn't tend to win close games on a neutral floor ... which is disappointing considering that is necessary in order to win the conference and reach the NCAA tourney. Obviously too early to jump off the ledge, but there still will be a critical decision coming next spring via Faison.

Yes. Go and get em!!

Great news. Congrats Coach. Bubba is the reason UND football (and perhaps the entire athletic department) is going the right direction; the future is bright.

It's also not a time to eliminate the fun. Football is yet a game; if you don't play to have fun and win (and potentially win big), you won't.

Please do this. Thank you.
