  1. This is not just on Rudy. Rudy is running the offense Bubba wants, or he would have been replaced 2 or 3 years ago. This is a case of the blame rising to the top. Nice guy or not, Bubba is not a DI head coach. He couldn't get UMD the natty that Bob Nielsen got 2 years in a row., and that was DII. After the lack of offense in the second half, 5 punts in a row (sorry, punting is not trying to score) major changes need to be made. It's time to give Zimmerman a chance. Schmidt needs to see that Harris is not the ball hawk he was 2 years ago, or maybe he just got lucky taking chance back then, but the secondary has always been suspect under this staff. The Defense giving up 350 yards in the first half, and as someone in another post said, giving up 80 yards in 3 plays - the same 3 plays. The blame doesn't just go on Rudy... Bubba needs to get a mean streak, whether it's with his staff or the opposing team... Something needs to change at the top.

    Bubba's big brother may have too much say with Faison, but maybe Chaves has a mind of his own. It's time for the #gobc to step aside.

  2. Realizing that UND is not in the MVFC yet... That's a good thing. There is no way this coaching staff will produce winning records in the MVFC. Looking a LOT like Lennon's SIU teams. It's not just on Rudolph...

    Time for UND to take the next step and start winning with a sense of dominance. Don’t know about you, but I’m sick of playoff-less seasons.

    This ^^^^^

     

    Bubba seems like he is "North Dakota nice" and doesn't want to win by too big of a margin. Doubt you will ever see him do a Steigelmeier, even against a totally outmatched team.

    WIU has been a playoff team lately I think, but yeah fair point. NAU is garbage without Cookus, who was out injured. 

    On the other hand, like you, I mourn UND leaving the Big Sky.  Always thought that would be the best conference affiliation for the Dakota schools. Then, when UND was the only Dakota school in the Big Sky, it set UND apart from the others. I do understand the desire to be in a conference with the other 3, but would have preferred they moved to the Big Sky, not the other way around. The downside there was that the BSC has gotten so big, numbers wise and geographically, that it just wasn't going to work.

    would really like to see a Great North conference as many here propose, but don't see the Montanas and Idaho leaving the Sky. It's their baby, after all.

    1-2 ?

    Losing to Western Illinois and Missouri State. Aren't they typically two of the weaker teams in the MVFC? With losses by Montana (seem to be more like Northern Iowa lately, ranked on reputation rather than on-field performance) and Northern Arizona (preseason favorite).

  7. Heart:

    UND              35

    SHSU            28

     

    debby downer:

    At halftime:

    UND defense 10   (pick 6 and d gets another turnover that results in a FG... I know, I know)

    SHSU.              17

     

    defense gets worn down in 2nd half

    UND.                 17   (Rudy turns 'em loose when down by 3 TD's and gets one)

    SHSU.               38

    That's not true!  Not referencing jdub specifically of course at all, but if NDSU went FBS, 90% of UNDs football fan base would be frothing at the mouth that the same move would need to happen the next day for us.  If NDSU did away with scholarships and joined the Pioneer league, it would be the same scenario.  Where they go, we will follow.  The fanbase won't accept a schedule that doesn't have The Bison on it.  That's why we are moving to the SumValley, no other reason.  

    It is so perplexing to me that we voluntarily left a conference that FBS schools are apparently willing to drop down a level to join, while at the same time our new conference is wondering what DII schools could possibly be convinced to join.................

    This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    to both points

  9. Why is everybody (except Goon) picking Idaho? Just because they were FBS last year? Is there something in their pre-season analysis that says they are the team to beat this year in the Big Sky? Just asking?

    I like SiouxVolley's thought process.  He sees the big picture.  Whether he is right or wrong, time will tell I suppose.  

    He wants UND to go nationwide in all sports, like we are in hockey.   It seems like 90% of folks here would be happy with tippy toeing into Fargo.  

    The Big Sky offered us a huge opportunity to set ourselves apart, but for some reason few seemed to embrace it, including the fanbase and administration.

    IMO, slamming the door on the Big Sky will go down as an even  bigger mistake to the athletic department as it was to wait 5 years to join DI after UNC, SDSU, an NDSU did.

    Honestly, the nickname fiasco has been handled far better than conference affiliation issues.  And that's not saying much...........

    I'm with bin on this 100%. UND getting an invite to the Big Sky was a huge opportunity to forge new relationships that was not fully developed. The regional appeal of the Summit was too much to pass up during the (hopefully temporary) budget issues UND had to address. 

    Also like SiouxVolley's thought process and forward thinking. Is his timeline 100% accurate? Maybe not. However, he is looking forward to the future of college athletics, FBS and UND. Feels like the Montanas will stay FCS until Idaho lights a fire under their butts, but UND absolutely cannot afford to pass if/when a scenario like SiouxVolley has put forward comes to fruition.

    Ketteringham will/should be the starter in my opinion.

    Boltmann should be #2 for a variety of different reasons.

    If they can hold on to Cedric Case until the December signing date, it is actually scary to think about the depth chart at QB for 2019.

    This absolutely NEEDED to happen.

    Now....go get some more hoggies....

    Hope Case wants to be a pilot or air traffic controller

    Does anyone know if ESPN3 access is included with Dish Network? I currently have access to it thru Midco but am also thinking of dropping cable but will still want access on my farm. 

    Yes and it's light years ahead of pluto.tv

    I'm questioning their potential. That's not !@#$ on recruits or whatever in the hell you're trying to get at. Only time will tell.

    If your recruit scouting reports were anything close to accurate, UND would already have a couple FCS national titles by now. 

    Fact of the matter is the majority of UND's recruits have not been as good as the overly optimistic bunch on here thinks they are or will be. 

    The thing about recruiting projects, which Bubba and Co have a penchant to do, is that your coaching staff has to coach them up. Nothing wrong with recruiting kids who need some time to develop (if you have the time to teach them), but for goodness sake, develop them. This will be a litmus test of this staff's ability to coach these kids. Many returning injured and lots of underclassmen who got plenty of playing time and experience early in their careers. Could be a great formula, or could be a struggle again. Will reflect more on the staff than the players, imho. That is what I read when I read UND-FB-FAN's posts.
