Serious question... What would be the appeal of being FBS G5 when Central Florida has won 25 in a row and is still not even considered for the FBS playoffs?

I really sincerely hope UND joins NDSU And SDSU at the top of the MVFC in 2020. I just worry that this staff has too much resemblance to the SIU staff of Lennon's that could not regularly make the top half of the league. in other news, OC Kalen DeBoer's Fresno Bulldogs pulled out the OT win over Boise last night in the MWC championship game.

So, did Case flip Skokna?

Have been pondering this and think Clifford Galesburg Twins were black and white, but really not sure. Grandin (Eagles?) before Cass Valley North was purple and white (or maybe purple and gold) think Argusville was Red and White

Good For You?

If Rudy's St. Cloud offense was so dynamic, who put the governor on the offense at UND? Was it Rudy or was it Bubba? If it was Bubba, can we really expect a different offense next year, no matter who the coordinator is?

Mayville Lions were black and white Portland Pirates were maroon and white (iirc) Don't remember C-G Twins colors or the individual schools my apologies that I cannot remember C-G, but pretty confident on Mayville and Portland Sica may be a better source for the C-G colors

First year coach took over 1 - 10 team and got them into the playoffs. Hmmm?

It's time for the #gobc to step up with their checkbooks - then step aside

Guess I wasn't clear in my post. Not advocating moving to D-II, nor dropping football. Just an observation of who these coaches are recruiting and how they are using them. If they are recruiting project players, they have to coach them up, not put them in impossible positions and then erode everyone's confidence with the play calling.

I don't think the STYLE of football is the problem. There was a comparison to NDSU a few days ago, and the style of the 2 teams seems very comparable. It's in the placement of the plays, the execution of the plays and the result of the plays that are different. It's the confidence of execution in both the coaches and the players. It is also the ability or willingness to make adjustments during the game to adapt to what the opponent is throwing at you. Plus, NDSU, with their history (and not just recent history) gets their pick of the recruits, while Bubba, Rudy and the rest of the UND staff sign players that have no other D-I offers. Not saying these UND recruits are not good, but maybe they are D-II good, just not able to compete on the D-I level. I would be willing to bet that NDSU has as many players playing on Sunday as some of the lower P5 schools, like Minnesota and Rutgers.

Chaves should be asking for the resignation tonight.

One of them will not get the NDSU job. Its the same pitch that the coaches would give to the recruits... You can be part of something special in turning this program around.

The question is not where will Chaves find the money to buy out Bubba's contract. The question is/should be does Chaves ask for Schweigert's resignation or should he demand Schweigert's resignation. Losing a recruit or 2 can't be worse than letting this go on for 3 more years. Get a coach who knows how to win in FCS. Get one of the coordinators from 70 miles south. Promise them the job as soon as their playoff run is over and open the application process to coincide with closing it the day after Entz or Messingham has finished the season (right after the FCS Championship game). The current UND staff will struggle to finish in the top half of the MVFC and does not have what is necessary to challenge for MVFC titles.

Entz or Messingham. Time to get serious about being ready for the MVFC.

Cutting baseball set the stage so that women's ice hockey could be cut. That is why outside sources were not allowed to fund baseball. Needed Title IX balance.

The coaching staff has a history of laying eggs in big games at home

Rudolph runs the offense the way Bubba wants it run. Otherwise he would already be gone.

What is it that the players see in Zimmerman (electing him a captain) that the coaches can't or won't?

Hypothetical question... If UND looked 70 miles south at a coordinator (for UND HC), is that stupid 30 day, or whatever it was when Schweigert was finally hired, window waived? Can an employee at another ND institution be brought in without a long waiting period?

If the offense can't stay on the field for more than 3 and out, if the defense can't get off the field... the defense will be totally gassed by the 4th quarter at 7,000 feet elevation. Looking at recent history of 3rd quarter offensive performance, the defense is going to have a very rough second half.

Kettringham can only throw to the guy he watches leave the huddle. There is no one following the "initial look"

My apologies to the readers of this forum... I usually lurk and don't post that much. Just frustrated

This was the overwhelmingly sentiment of this forum a year (and for some, more than a year) ago. Yet, he returned. It's not up to us, it's up to Kennedy, Chaves and (ultimately) Schweigert.

If Golladay had stayed for his junior and senior seasons and played in Rudy's offense, would he have even been given a shot in the NFL?
