Radio guys trying to paint Valpo as something other than a bad team.

The sloppiness needs to be cleaned up for the MVFC schedule.

For cripes sake guys, get it together.

The radio guys were too busy telling stories to tell us there was a video review.

Well, we got another chance and kicked the PAT.

I think we should stick with extra points.

No it wasn't.

Offense is still a work in progress.

Sounds like a prediction from the Chicago Superfans.

Why does anyone except the players care about it?

Homecoming usually draws well regardless of what kind of team we have.

Anyone know what this kid brings to the table.

I used to love those weekends as well, but I just don't have the energy I used to have.

Unless you have a kid, grandkid, niece or nephew playing for one of NDSU's teams, switching sides from UND to NDSU is treason. Period.

Same here. Anyone who has jumped ship from UND to NDSU because they "want to be a part of it" should just stay there. Don't bother coming back to us later on.

You also need a good product on the field to do that. Which Schmidt and company are working on 24/7.

This is becoming a real-life version of Major League.

Martinson always has a rationale for not doing something. Although it is possible the Alerus Center is not being cooperative with UND on this. In that case, it's partly on them as well. One thing the Alerus Center can do right now is fix the freaking audio.

Clearly a moment of frustration on Olson's part. It warrants an apology.

Getting a team from bad to good can happen quickly. Getting a team from good to great is a lot more complicated. This team has to learn how to close games out. There isn't a simple formula for getting them there. It has to happen organically. The two most tangible problems with this team now is the kicking game and the offensive play calling. Both of those need to be corrected for this team to make some noise later in the season.

The Grand Forks Herald is reporting that former columnist Marilyn Hagerty has died at age 99. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/marilyin-hagerty-herald-reporter-and-columnist-for-nearly-70-years-dies-at-age-99

It's going to be interesting to see how Jax manages a much different roster.

Not in those exact words. But there have been comments along the lines of "same problems as under Bubba" and "I thought things would be different with Schmidt". I know yesterday's loss was a gut punch, but I think the team will learn a lot from it.

It's not that people want Bubba back, it's that some people are saying the team hasn't improved at all. The losses hurt for sure (yesterday was a huge let down), but under Bubba, those losses would have been blowouts. Under Schmidt, they weren't. The kicking game needs to be fixed. The play calling needs to be simplified. And Jerry needs more reps to get completely comfortable as the starter (he's still a sophomore). But Schmidt is building something special; it just won't happen quickly.
