I think if the FB hire doesn't work out, he'll be gone.

Nobody is suggesting that intercollegiate athletics is as important as our families or the larger problems of the world. All some of us are pointing out is that there are real deficiencies in this program right now. We are falling behind other blue bloods in postseason success. Recruiting will suffer in the long run if we don't reverse this trend. Denver has won 3 Natty's since our last in 2016. And they did it despite all the obstacles some of our fans use as an excuse for our program not having similar success. Being positive as a general rule of life is good. Ignoring problems within the program in the name of positivity is not.

Agree 100%. Besides Miami, this league is very strong top to bottom.

Fair points. I brought up the 3-4 because so many people here have talked about it being obsolete.

Actually, I think it's both. The 3-4 was put in to stop an offense that most teams don't run anymore. It was time to change it up.

If we manage to win this game, Mal might get another extension.

Really? According to some people here, it's all luck (sarcasm).

Portal goalies have one or two years eligibility left. So we are constantly scrambling to fill a roster spot.

The disappointing results post 2016 are all the "evidence" you need. Results (or lack of them) matter. That's why Bubba is not in charge of FB anymore. How big of a sample size do we need for Berry?

Yeah, the groupies are annoying.

Well put. You should contribute on here more often.

I will argue they didn't want to hold Bubba accountable either. I think that change was driven by Armacost.

This 100%

Both

What about a shorter extension (1 or 2 years)? Keep him on his toes a little. I don't care if it's the "industry standard" to do that; we have to start having accountability for coaches who underachieve in the postseason.

Chaves better not give Berry a long extension. He hasn't earned it. He needs to learn from the Bubba extension a couple of years back.

The photo of Bubba sleeping during a meeting was what pushed it past the tipping point.

We need one for the women's team too.

I think Armacost may have intervened.

Is there room in Bubba's office for Sather?

Minot would fight that tooth and nail.

Fargo would take the state capitol from Bismarck and the state fair from Minot if it wouldn't provoke a revolution in the central and western parts of the state.

I have never cared all that much about the Heisman. Too political and media driven.

We get healed up during the break and come back at (close to) full strength. Then we build momentum into March.

One of the silver linings of the injuries is the ice time the young guys are getting. They are starting to figure it out. It will be interesting to see what happens when our injured players come back.
