UND-FB-FAN

Odds are stacked against him. Heidlebaugh has a better shot than Bolinske, in my opinion.

Marketing is picking up - 11,000 at the Alerus this Saturday. Close first half, crowd noise/defense/running game closes it out in second half: 38 - 17 UND

Pretty obvious why that is, right?

Well absolutely we need loud fans supporting this team, in fact, we need far more of that. None of this sit back, be quiet, and take a nap on 1st and 2nd down while UND is on defense; be loud the entire time UND is on defense! For those who haven't played or watched much football, it affects the opponent big-time! Think back to 2001 playoffs in the Alerus.

My group enjoyed it. Adds some uniqueness and homefield flavor for UND Fighting Hawks football.

*If* UND wins out, they'll be a top 10 seed. Hell, they're already ranked 12 and 17 in some polls with 3 games left to keep ascending.

It's only Monday - a large number of those will be taken by kickoff on Saturday. Walk ups, walk ups, walk ups ...

At this point, you have to understand that a huge number of walkups makes up the total attendance each and every week. Locals are noticing UND and I expect a good crowd (minimum of 10,000).

That would make a huge impact just in itself (referring to noise on all defensive downs).

At least 10,000 at the Alerus on Saturday. Too many pessimists on here. People are taking notice. Several NDSU faithful I spoke with recently have been impressed with the progress made by UND and Bubba. That kind of recognition does wonders for attendance. You win and they come. Marketing and game day experience helps too, though, despite what some delusional supporters think.

Yeah, not a bright moment ...

Holy, step back from the ledge. UND is still undefeated in conference and at home this season and 2 of their last 3 are in the Al.

Yes, they were. They need to be better. Sure miss Reyes but his health down the stretch is more important.

UND will win now, but my goodness UND played awful. They need to improve their pass defense. Also, the penalties on UND's offense were a killer. Back to the basics during Weber State game week. A narrow win against Idaho State will somehow get held against UND down the road.

Now UND is literally in a one possession game with IDAHO STATE C'mon .... UND played like crap today. Let's just hope for the W at this point.

TD Idaho State to who else? KW Williams UND will be happy to him graduate

Yes, the refs have been bad, but UND has done plenty of crap themselves that they need to be better at. UND almost offisdes and then gives up a run up the middle from the Idaho State QB.

Agree. Sickening to watch

This is unreal

Oh, and another flag against UND

more penalties.. Yes, UND is winning, but they should be up by so much more. Sloppy disappointing effort today for UND

Well that time the UND defense was absolutely out of position. Idaho State drops a pass and he was all by himself. C'mon defense, that is a horrible coverage lapse

Sure did

Crazy good effort on 3rd down by Santiago. And these announcers can't believe the first down.
