No Question IMO Pawlak is the best coach on the staff, but would hate to take away his time working with the O-line by promoting him to Coordinator. Maybe pull an SDSU and promote to Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach. and hire a Co-Offensive Coordinator/Play Caller. And of course more Money.

If Paul Ralston is calling this a step up, that should be all the needs to be said to make changes at UND. It's one thing to be a farm system to FBS teams, but now we are losing coaches to rivals to lesser positions.

Yes, its a bad thing. How do you build a program if you put the time in to develop a player and they leave before you ripe the rewards. TBH, I would rather UND just drop all sports but hockey than be in that position.

I don't think it was mutual. There is spot on the Roster for him. I'm guessing he is graduating and UND does not have what he is looking for in a masters degree.

This one is the most upsetting. Can't blame Kilty, as he is going to end up playing FBS football. I think Tommy leaving was probably mutual and the I don't think the drop of at QB will be that great.

It worked from a new Head Football Stand point. Not from an AD stand point. Him wanted to stay D2 when the SU's were going D1 was the worst AD decision ever made.

I did not mind going for 2 there. At least he had an answer for his reason for going for 2. Bothered me last time when Bubba's answer was they go by what the sheet says. If you have a play you feel is going to work, I have not problem making it a 2 score game. Only real problem is they have only converted on 1 2pt conversation all year.

Well USD is the better team, so there's that.

I guess I got my answer. I'm the only 1 that doesn't consider a loss and 3x3 win a split. Just my opinion. I will drop it as I need to go on with my day.

Doesn't even make sense. I would be upset if it was called a sweep when it was a Loss and OT Loss. Not the same as a sweep. I sweep implies 1 team got at whole pie and the other not nothing. A split implies both teams got 1/2.

Loss and OT Win.

I guess I was the one spreading Fake news. I totally missed that this was changed last year. Doesn't change the fact it was not a split.

He's spreading Fake News.

I'll enjoy the season. OT win is worth 55%, not 67%. Either way it is not a split. IMO a good weekend is a sweep at home and split on the road. That should be the standard of a team looking to win a National Championship. National Championship should be the goal every year for a UND team. Like I said they have the right to improve and I expect they will with 8 new defensemen. Goaltender looks like a great pick-up. Only real point is this was not a split. As Saturday was 55% of a win.

No, but we didn't split. It's barely better than the shoot out win Mankato got the weekend before.

Anyone else annoyed by the fact we are calling this weekend a split. 3x3 ot wins are worth little more that a tie. They are only worth 55% of a win. Basically a loss and a tie on the weekend. Not real impressive. Blew a 2 goal lead and a late 3rd period lead. This team has the right to get better, but this was not a good weekend.

You are comparing 11 pts vs 12. My question is 12 pts vs 13. Trying to figure out how Bubbas chart shows to go for 2 with up by 11.

At that end of the day we won the game and are still alive for a payoff home game. If we would have beat NDSU in OT and blew out Indiana state we would be feeling pretty good right now. Will the opposite happened and we are in the same spot. Just hoping this last close call was the wake up call this team needed and they finish the season strong.

This is the only thing I can think of. I have tried to figure out a situation where it was that much better to be up by 13 rather that 12

Not a good look for Bubba. I would rather hear some sort of reasoning than that a prior coaches charts says to go for 2. At some point over the years I would think he would go over possible outcomes of being up by 11

If not going to say the NDSU game is meaningless, but sure has the chance to be. All the win did was set us up to be the best team in the state and a national championship contender. If we finish 7-4 and lose in the 1st or 2nd round we have not really gotten anywhere. In the mean time if NDSU gets to 8-3, which I think they will and makes a run in the playoffs we are stuck in the same place. Right now last week seems like a fluke. We need to finish the year ahead of Ndsu or the win is meaningless.

There is a reason Tommy was a D2 recruit. He would be a good D2 QB. If we didn’t have a QB decommit right before signing day he wouldn’t be in the program. He became the starting QB be default as our QB room was so bad. I sure hope he is not back next year as we seem to have a pretty good room right now. I know he gets credit for being calm and composed but he just looks lost to me.

No We don't worry about FG's. Just score TD's. Field Goals won't kill you.

The Rivalry is not the same. My excitement is the fact we have the #1 team coming to the Ralph this weekend. A great opportunity for the team to hopefully get a couple wins that will help at the end of the year with the Pairwise rankings. I would consider most of our NCHC opponents bigger rivals. But that is just me.

Biggest Win in a long time with the Silver Helmets last weekend. Need to Wear the Silver Helmets for every game for the rest of the year. Lord knows the new quarter zip i bought on Friday for Saturdays game will be worn every Saturday until the end of Football Season. As Far as the Jerseys? All Green at Home and All White on the Road. Not a fan of the Black Jerseys or Pants. Really not a fan of the Grey/Silver, but I'm superstitious enough that they should wear them until the luck runs out.
