Preaching to the quire doesn't necessarily help either. I'm sure he has encouraged plenty of people to attend games in his time as a season ticket holder. Go talk to the hockey fans about it.
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.

After 13 years as a season ticket holder, which has spanned one of the best eras of UND football and one of the worst, and rarely missing a home game in that time, I would personally be very pleasantly surprised if 8,000 people turned out for this game. I think it will probably be significsntly less. I hope I am wrong, sad but true IMO, it is what it is.
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.

No real excuses needed. Just the way it is. For the first time everyone needs to actually buy a ticket. Not getting 10,000 people to do it, IMO.
Maybe in a couple years after winning some playoff games and becoming a contender.
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.

Are you kidding me?!? We haven't rested starters in a single game yet this year...what makes you think we will do it Saturday?!? It's going to be a dogfight to the end...
@ 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!!

If UND had played at home this weekend I'd be surprised if they had more than 5K.
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.

I like confidence, but this is not an easy opponent in my mind. Athletic line and pass the ball around nicely. Gonna be a tough one.
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!

The announcers on the TV broadcast stated Richmond will be playing outdoors on Dec 3rd in ND. Can't even blame that on mixing up the two schools.

I'm thinking 3 picks next week.
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!

Richmond is a really good team regardless of injuries. Semis last year, ranked #1 for numerous weeks this year, replaced an all American qb with a three star recruit, big nasty d line and great coaching. UND will have its hands full.
UND wins a nai biter in its first d1 playoff game.
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.

Regardless, it's a non-conference, regular season game in early December. Not exactly a Regional or Frozen Four. I hope when (not if) we make it to Frisco for the FCS title in the next several years, there isn't a MH game at home vs. an exhibition team the same day. Otherwise, it will cut down on FB attendance for that game too.
PS: This message is aimed at people who will sit at home and watch hockey instead of getting out to the Alerus Center to support Bubba and the boys. Not people who made travel plans in advance.

Richmond looks very athletic up front. Hopefully the OL is rested and healed up. As always, we will go as they go.
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.

Will they be selling fb tickets at the Ralph box office prior to the hockey games this weekend?
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.

Now is not the time for piss and vinegar, fat and sassy, overconfidence.
It's the playoffs. Every team is a threat.
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.

Can Jim make a bracket for this like he does for the hockey tournament? Would be great to implement that as well!
Please do this. Thank you.

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.
