Let's go Rudy ball then I guess.

They've been good calls. So not breaks from the refs but from Nicholls committing penalties. We've been giving them plenty as well.

Maybe it's a rope-a-dope. No pressure until the redzone and then catch them off guard.

We need to get yards however we can. Saying we have to do it one way, a way that hasn't worked all season, is being stubborn.

After they've taken everybody out of the box.

Better chance than 2 yards and a cloud of turf beads.

Go ahead and be one dimensional. They can't stop the pass. Quit giving up a down trying to run unless it's real obvious. Trying to force it is just being stubborn. I'd say the same thing to Nicholls about trying to pass. Run that 230# rb up the middle every play.

How about total yards?

And then we call a timeout after letting 20 seconds burn?!

I was thinking the same thing.

D looks terrible, but somehow they've still only given up 3 points. O needs to finish.

Coaching staff still ok with not recruiting a nose guard for 4 years? And losing weight on the lines?

This could get brutal.

Big money came in late on Nicholls

People on the internet might say some mean things....

And a friendly North Dakota welcome to the board!

Kett?

4 hours each way and taking leave from work is tough to justify with Valpo.

What was their bid amount?

1. Tickets are only $25. 2. Student tickets are $5 for playoff games, further reducing the average. 3. We'd be very hard pressed to get 8k to a game this weekend between Thanksgiving, the hockey series in Minneapolis, and expected inclement weather. 4. The Alerus charges UND to use the facility and takes most if not all the concessions and parking $ on top of that. The REA might take a cut of ticket sales for a playoff game as well. So I'm pretty sure the AD did make that presentation, just without the incorrect numbers.

That was a second round game, so it didn't take place over Thanksgiving weekend.

Don't force season ticket purchasers to buy a playoff ticket, just give the option. Heck, even make it clear that they can still purchase their normal seat for the playoff game after UND has already made it, but that the pre-purchase can help UND in its bid. Seems like a win/win to me, but you're probably right. Attendance Thanksgiving weekend is tough to gamble on. I know I wouldn't have made it, but probably would've bought a ticket as part of my season tickets anyway. REA handles season tickets. I say make them earn their 52%

Not sure. Found an article showing 4,648 season tickets in 2018 and 5,296 season tickets in 2017 though. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4472433-und-football-season-tickets-see-dip-following-three-win-2017-season

In the future, could UND "sell" tickets for a first round playoff game as part of the season ticket package and then refund the amount if we don't host a game (similar to what I believe is done with hockey tickets)? This could give UND a guaranteed available amount and make the bidding process less risky.....

Thanks to gfhockey for guaranteeing that $3.75. Just wasn't quite enough unfortunately
