Was that Tommy Schuster in a Broncos uniform? Or was Danny Freund calling the Broncos’ plays? The passes seems to be mostly wide-out screens. Didn’t connect on downfield throws until the end.

Look for someone on the rise, not someone in the twilight of his career.

And his brother pushing for him via the gobc… and pushing for a “Hawks” nickname. That said, RIP Lowell.

Freund is not the answer, but he will get the position. That’s why he is now the Associate Head Coach.

Like NDSU doesn’t want UND’s football recruits? Okie dokie.

NDSU signed 3 girls, including the ND Class A and Class B individual champions. 1 of them is a daughter of a friend who attended UND that has won about 90 junior and high school titles. Where is Coach Kroetsch? Did he try recruit these young ladies?

Will offense have to score on (almost) every possession? Not very confident the D can hold the Yotes to less than 35.

My post was actually a response to this post. Was this Bubba’s decision or Danny’s?

But… Freund is the associate head coach. What does that say?

I know it is water under the bridge at this point, but watching what DeBoer is doing at Washington or Vigen is doing at Montana State, you will never convince me that a team has to take a backwards step when there is a coaching change.

Montana State Kicker puts a 35 yard attempt 35 yards right of the goalposts.

iirc, UNI made the sweet 16 a couple years back…

And combine them where? Mayville?

Wow! PAC 12! Washington over Oregon 36-33. Really gonna miss the PAC 12.

Seriously? This is the discussion 2 days before a Bison game? Could this be the first D-I year that NDSU loses to all 3 Dakota schools? How long has it been since that happened?

What would be the chance that if UND wins this weekend, that Bubba would feel that mission is accomplished and it is now ok for him to sail off into the fundraising mode of his career? Or, on the flip side, that another ‘bad’ loss may lead to someone (or several someone’s) stepping up to buy out the rest of his contract?

How could the decision makers NOT know that UND would have to eventually follow the XDSUs into FCS? And how could they NOT know that would put UND way behind them? You would think Roger Thomas would have been screaming to not let UND get left behind, instead…

Freund is not the answer either

agree with UND FB FAN on this… EXPECT (not hope) to win the game. plan accordingly and execute.

iirc you were one of the gobc that was pushing for UND/Faison to hire Schweigert over DeBoer.

Portland State 91 - 0 over North American University. Must have taken a knee every snap in the 4th Quarter. Scored 91 points in 3 quarters. 42 points in the 2nd Quarter alone. 2 weeks after losing to Oregon 81 - 7.

Watched most of the Arizona - NAU game. The Lumberjacks are better than the score shows. Teeder’s analysis is spot-on. Will be a tough game.

Would be nice if they could keep that up!

With their history, NDSU would more than likely be included in the playoffs with a 6 - 5 record. What 6 games will they lose?

Looks like the ACC might accept Stanford, Cal and SMU. A couple random thoughts from a fan of the old PAC 12. side question… What is “Atlantic” about Indiana (Notre Dame), Texas (SMU) and California (Stanford/Cal)? If OR State and Wazzu stay PAC 12 and bring in 8 or 10 schools to return to PAC 10/12, would it still be considered a Power 5 Conference? Conversely, if they go to either the MWC or AAC, will it then be Power 4 and Group of 5? And what would happen to the PAC’s FBS playoff and March Madness credits? No matter what, the demise of the PAC 12 embodies what is wrong with the NCAA and college athletics in the quest for the almighty television dollar. How can (almost weekly) coast to coast travel be good for the student athlete? If the ACC takes Stanford, Cal and SMU, the B1G, Big XII and ACC will have schools on both coasts and across 3 or 4 time zones. The only conference that would be regional is the SEC. (Unless the PAC can somehow rebuild itself with MWC schools). Knowing it will never happen… OSU and WSU add the Mountain West state schools to the PAC - Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV, Utah State, Colorado State, Wyoming and New Mexico along with Air Force. (I think they would have to vote to dissolve the MWC to avoid the exit fee) The city/commuter schools can then rebuild the MWC. Problem with this scenario being no Cali schools, but maybe San Diego and San Jose to make 12, but still would prefer the state schools + AF. I know, it will never happen, especially since it would hang Boise and Fresno. End rant. fire away!
