So who is gonna start the "Fire Jones" thread??!!

One word.....PATHETIC!!!

Why can't our offense run a play that doesn't consist of a player driving to the basket and throwing up a low percentage shot or drawing a foul? Are these the types if plays the coaches draw up during timeouts? Are these the type of plays they work on in practice? Why can't a one other than Schuler make a shot outside the paint? Why does Jones not play Calcaterra or Salmonson? Where is the chemistry on this team? We have been hyping this year for 5 years that this is going to be the year UND makes the Tournament. These questions need to answered if this team wants to accomplish their ultimate goal. And soon!!!

Why Nash was in the game the final 10 minutes of the game I will never know. Can't make a shot. Would drive to the lane and throw up a circus shot and not even draw contact. When he would draw contact, more often then not, he would miss the free throw. Why are Salmonson and Calcarerra even on the team if Jones is not gonna play them. Sure Nash is more athletic, but he was absolutely worthless in the Weber game and Jones needs to recognize that. Schuler is our best shooter and he is sitting on the bench the last 5-6 minutes if the game. seriously?!!! We needed 3's and he is our best three point shooter. I guess Jones thought Nash should be taking those!! This play of this team has really disappointed me. There is no team game. All they do is pass around the perimeter and then eventually a guy will drive the lane while everyone else just stands around. Not trying to get open or in position for a rebound...just retreating back to play d!! Much of this team has played together for 5 years now. You would think they would show some chemistry and play more team ball. Not sure if that is their fault or coaching. How many outside jump shots not scored in the paint did UND have? Couldn't have been more than 5. The fact that we have Nash and huff drive the lane and draw 2-3 defenders and they can't get it to the open guy for a wide open look I'd rediculous. This team better figure out how to play team basketball, or they will not only be watching the Big Dance from their couches, but the Big Sky Tournament as we'll!!

Tibesar is awesome....but the Bears suck!!

"Veterans" often gets mentioned for a new name for the Redskins if they end up having to change it. What about the University of North Dakota Veterans? Anyone else think that has a nice ring to it? If we are going to have a name that honors people, couldn't think of a better group of people!

i expect to see a power "run first" offense and a shut down defense. Also a quarterback to emerge from the Molberg/Bartels debate. As well as a team that is competitive in every game and that makes the post season. Will that happen week 1? Probably not. Could it happen next season, sure. But I am willing to be patient given the recent player transfers and new coaching staff. I know many of us were excited about the schedule last year. But I thnk s football fans should be more excited about the 2014 season. Bubba has brought some great coaches in. We will see what he can do with this team, especially the defense. Overall, I am most looking to seeing a much improved defense.

Nope, Hextall was a effect little angel on the ice....just like Wheeler!!

So he grabbed him for no reason. Wheeler was just minding his own business and he was "attacked". You are delusional if you believe that. Go away troll.

Do you really think Wheeler said nothing to Finley before he pulled him from the hand shake line? Do you think he was just an innocent victim? Do you actually believe that he was just smiling and minding his own business and Finley just atracked him for no reason?? Come on.....really?? Hockey players talk smack to each other al the time. To come in here and try to convince us that Wheeler did absolutely nothing to provoke Finley is rediculous.

I was definitely in the Pflugrad bandwagon. But he obviously wasn't hired because if his coaching baggage. If he was such a hit commodity, how come no one has hired him...not even as an assistant. Just saying, that says something. UND made the right decision with him.

Are we really digging up this argument again?? I think every point on both issues has been brought up at least 20 times. Move on!!

Well of course you don't think he was the right choice. You are a Bison fan. Should we really care what you think? Bubba will be competing with NDSU for ND kids. And guess what, he is gonna get kids that NDSU wanted!!

What is our record at home with the black jerseys.....and what is our record at home wearing the green jerseys?!! Just sayin!!!

I get that Frisco has a lot of new hotels, restaurants, etc. But can the the biggest game if the FCS football year be in a football stadium with an acceptable playing surface as opposed to a soccer stadium with awful turf where 2 foot clumps are coming up and sand is kicking up every time a person runs on it?!!! The contract for Toyota field has it hosting the title game the next 2 seasons. Hopefully it can move locations. (And no, not Fargo all you Delusional bison fan dreamers)!! : )

Preposterous statement of the century...(When referring to NDSU fans) "These are the smartest most knowledgeable fans in all of college football." - 2014 FCS Title game...Random ESPN announcer!!

Well, I hate to say it but this one's over!!!

I don't like the idea of changing helmet colors. Now a matte green helmet I think would look good.

Exactly. Dale's days are numbered. To Schmidt, the UND gig would be more attractive and stable.

Are we getting to the old familiar topic of how to get fans in the seats? I think we all know the the 3 letter word that solves all attendance issues!!!

When UND puts a better team out on the field than this years Bison, that's when. But I guess since you just jumped out if your Delorian, you already know how the next 20+ UND football teams will be.

If players were going to leave after this season, they had their mind made up before the season was probably even over. Hiring a new coach right away wasn't going to keep them here. Sick and tired if hearing how taking 5 weeks to hire a coach was the reason these players left. They left because UND football sucked last year. They don't want to be on a sucky team anymore. Granted, I think they will be better next year with new coaches, but some players don't want to be apart of a rebuilding process.

If you want to see a coach that is passionate about football, the University of North Dakota, and leading young men, I encourage you to watch the press conference today announcing Bubba as the head coach. It is obvious that this was the best choice for UND's football program. The following two quotes will tell you all you need to know about the heart and passion Bubba has for coaching and for leading a team: "It is better to do what's right than what is popular" "the team is most important" Just refreshing hearing a coach talk about getting the right coaches with a work ethic and creating a product on the field that all of us fans can be proud of.

What about Pflugrad for OC?!!
