So you think they should be undefeated? Or have maybe one loss? Please tell us, as you seem to know more than everyone else.

I am sorry too......sorry you are such a jacka$$.

The Vikings have ONE big injury and you are comparing it to 13 starters being out of action? Apples and oranges again. Please try harder next time, that was pretty weak.

Last year was a surprise to everyone, including myself. A pleasant surprise. We'll never know what could have been with this year's team, which is very disappointing.

Mussman's 2013 squad wasn't missing 13 out of 22 starters on both sides of the ball (more so on defense, obviously). And their antics on the sideline were embarrassing. You are comparing apples and oranges. Nice spin though.

So we should give the title back? We won the games on our schedule. Nuff said. And yes the playoff meltdown was disappointing, but they earned it fair and square. Our day will come. Whether you like it or not.

Bubba has had three full recruiting classes (I won't count his first one, as he started in December). When you consider he inherited next to nothing from Mussman's failed regime, it is going to take longer to build the kind of depth you need to compete at the highest levels of FCS. Even if we had that kind of depth, it would be hard to win games this season. 13 out of 22 starters on the shelf is not some minor problem you can solve by putting in warm bodies to replace them. That is reality, as painful as it is for me to admit.

Get lost troll. Go back to Bisonville where you belong.

They won a lot of close games and won a conference championship. But yeah, you are right, it was all a fluke. And what about the year before that when they finished 7-4 and were playing lights out at the end of the season and got screwed out of a playoff spot by those geniuses on the playoff committee? I suppose that was a fluke too, right?

You missed my point entirely. You don't replace all the starters we have lost with true freshmen and redshirt freshmen and not have problems. I have not lost faith in the coaching staff and it is way too soon to start calling for a change at the top.

Go down to Memorial Stadium next week and tell them that......to their face. How do you know they are "packing it in"? Everything that can go wrong this season has gone wrong. If you think regime change is the answer, you are mistaken.

I agree with you. I have never seen a team shredded by injuries this bad, at any level of football. The odds of this happening again next year are slim to none. The jury is still out on the Bubba regime, but those calling for regime change now are pushing the panic button way too soon.

13 of 22 starters on the shelf with injuries/illness and you think they shouldn't miss a beat. Not in this or any other lifetime. This is like trying to beat a high school varsity team with a bunch of JV replacements. Not. Going. To. Happen. Just chalk this up as a lost season and look forward to next year. That is what I am doing. I still plan on being at Homecoming.

You got that right! Hey, Denver, get ready because.....

The truth is, this season has been ruined by all the injuries on both sides of the ball. The team we are watching now is not the team we expected to be watching when fall camp started in August. The silver lining is that our young guys are getting real game experience now, which will accelerate their development for next year and beyond. Nonetheless, I think we get off the "Schneid" this week: UND 21 UCD 14

This is the only real reason to go to this game.

I agree 1000% with this. I will enjoy watching this team grow and develop as the season progresses.

This fits into his narrative that the 2016 team was a "once in 30 years" occurrence. I do not think we will have to wait another 29 years for #9.

Right now, this team just needs a win. Whether it is by 1 point or 100 points does not matter. The young guys being thrown into the fire need to gain some confidence in themselves and in the team as a whole. UND 28 UC Davis 10

I do not think this team is like the teams that lost to Yale and UNH. I think you are looking at this team with the assumption that if we don't have a roster full of 1st round draft choices, then we aren't good enough to make a run at #9. The teams you are referencing did not have the kind of depth this team will have. They also lacked overall scoring punch, which this team should not lack. Of course, some of this is dependent on how quickly the freshmen adapt to the college game.

This is the vision we need for UND as a whole. If hiring this firm helps us get there, then I am all for it.

Kind of like we had back in the mid to late 1990's. I seem to recall us filling the trophy case during those years.

Yes, Target Center staff were inept during their "management" of the Frozen Faceoff.

Agree with all of this. I have never seen another team sustain this many injuries in such a short period of time. The idea that we are supposed to just keep winning despite all of this is pure wishful thinking. I don't think this will happen next season and I think this team rebounds big time once everyone comes back.

As do I.
