UND-FB-FAN

Nice work on keeping this page updated @geaux_sioux. Awesome 2026 recruiting class thus far; takes 2-3 years to truthfully grade it, but on paper this is best recruiting class for UND ever Coach Schmidt and staff building something special

Agreed; not his final destination, but man there will be fun times along the way. Get out, support it, and enjoy it …

Coaching matters, and Coach Schmidt is the real deal…

Officially “next level” … and it feels so good.

Time will tell. Everyone will be skeptical until we actually see the run defense produce on the field, and there’s ways to make that happen with the current group…

Have to hope the two FCS transfers, Olagbaju (St. Thomas, and who is over 300 lbs by the way) and Henry (Sac St), make major gains this summer and fall. They are both early in their careers with a lot of potential…

Agree with all of this though!

F**k that … them p***y cow f**kers can choke for once

Ignorance is bliss. Oh, and coaching matters (by the way, they do the recruiting in collegiate athletics). This isn’t tee-ball. Just look at the overhaul in UND hockey and football recruiting and player management over the past 6 months … coincidence that coaches changed also? No.

Ok…

This would require actual support from UND, not just lip service …

After a few discussions with people I respect, and months/years of introspection, I’ve come to the opposite conclusion. New (and better) AD, please… I’d be fine with Bubba taking over that spot. Good things happened back in the day when Roger Thomas went from FB HC to AD (minus the decision to not go to D1 along with xDSUs).

horns down f*ck the bison go hawks

Coaching matters. Bubba was on autopilot. Schmidty is a dawg!

Gotta have the frame … and we’re getting it now. it’s a new era for UND fb. Thank you Schmidty … plus everyone else stepping up to support and get this thing where it should be

Schedule will always be tough. To be the best you’ve got to beat the best. Enough schedule whining … UND program and its fans need to move on to bigger, better topics. *12-0 in ‘25 *if that pesky Valparaiso don’t get us…

dt sac st te tul lb odu As mentioned, get your popcorn ready and cancel them December flights.

Oh, don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll get the meatheads from ag central telling us any second now that he’s overrated and they didn’t want him anymore … Like I said earlier, GET YOUR POPCORN READY!

Gotta love it- sorry nd farm school (ndsu), ya’ll lost another one (oh wait, he’s overrated and they really didn’t want him anymore …)

My man, I’m just empricial. Always have been.

Ya’ll get ready now. Get your popcorn and them season tickets ready. Cancel them December flights. Ya’ll don’t want to miss this! Looks like us “idiots” on here historically proclaiming for change weren’t too far off base. Coaching matters, and Coach Schmidt is a DAWG! Let’s F***ING GO!

To say I am loving all of this would be a major understatement…

Anyone on this thread or website concerned should nullify that by giving the UND staff some more valuable ammunition: https://1883collective.com. There’s a plan in place, believe me, but the followers (including those on this site) need to have a positive mindset, also, and do their part. There’s a difference between dreams and goals…
