The Complaints seem to be valid. The fact they play on a grass field with temporary seating is embarrassing. A new field should have been worked into the Memorial Stadium Project. Seems like they are in need of a benefactor similar to what Softball got with their new Field. I'm not a title 9 expert, but seems like they need to be given the same access to facilities at the Ralph to be compliant. Also the fact they have a doctor "on Call" for games is ridiculous. There should a doctor there for the entire game.

What is odd is it seems like we have brought in what seems like very good QB's and they are getting beat out. I thought Vaughn was supposed to be very good and he got beat out by someone we brought in last minute that only had D2 offers. Schuster turned out to be a solid QB, but not someone that was going to lead us to a NC. Now we have a PWO in Romfo that is beating out Feeney and Jerry, to guys that were highly thought of. Are we not developing these guys?

I'm not willing to hang my hat on the offence. zero TD's on their opening drives. Much rather have have the other team need to drive the length of the field on their opening drive than give them a short field after our Offense goes 3 and out.

Probably not. Really wish the Coaching staff would spend the extra week preparing Jerry to take over the starting spot. IMO We have seen enough of Romfo to know he wouldn't take us far. Guessing If he is the starter the full year he will be the default starter week 1 next year. The next few game are against weaker competition. Get him a few games played before the SD's schools come to town. I can dream, can't I.

Wrong. Only time they have Deferred and gave up opening TD was vs. Iowa ST. Maybe the best game we have played defensively this year. Quit the Opposite Actually. Best to give the other team the ball to start. Iowa St. Deferred and Started on D. Gave up TD Montana Deferred and Started on D. 3 and out Idaho St Lost toss, started on D. 3 and out SD Deferred Started on D. 1 1st down Murry St Lost Toss and Started on O. Murry St scored TD on their first 2 Drives NDSU Lost Toss and Started on D. NDSU scored TD on their first 2 Drives

From what I hear the Coaching staff is not too upset with Feeney being gone. Another interesting thing. I was talking with a former UND QB about this time last year about how deep our QB room was. I was talking to him about how Tommy had another year of eligibility, Feeney looking good and the good things being said about Jerry. He told me to not forget about Romfo. I thought he was crazy as I thought he was about 4th on the depth chart when I comes to starting a game. It tells me that Simon didn't come out on nowhere to become the starter.

I swear our fan base is looking for everyone to hit the portal.

Not over at all. Rest of games are winnable. Very different Team home vs away

So? If you only get to the 10 than just kneel down and go to half time. Maybe break one to the house or at least FG position

Why not return the kick off? Maybe get a big play, if short return that just run out the clock

They will not have a choice if no one else bids. But ultimately the goal is to have #1 seeds host. Goal would be to have a #1 seed from out east come to REA where UND is and UND win the regional. #1 seeds should host

First of all a converted Cattle barn is not going to happen. Secondly there are 4 regional's so a 1 in 4 chance to get sent to a crappy place. And Finally they will be playing in the same place as 3 other teams so no advantage or disadvantage. #1 Seeds will never host as long as Fargo/Scheels is an option. Something you need to make short term sacrifices for long term fixes.

Perfect. Nothing will change if the NCAA can put it in Fargo and sell out a 5K arena. If UND is serious about wanted to have #1 seeds host they need to stop bailing the NCAA out by hosting in Fargo.

Kind of makes my point. The NCAA will NEVER choose the REA if Fargo is an option. Only Bid the REA every year. Besides the Fact if I'm the GF Chamber I'd be a little pissed that we are bidding to host in Fargo.

Why does UND keep bailing out the NCAA by submitting to host in Fargo? Submit bids to host at the REA and nowhere else. I don't think many teams are submitting bids so either they accept the REA, host in Empty arenas or they will need to start having #1 Seeds host. UND call their bluff.

My problem with the Whole situation and it still bothers me is who we lost them to. Both were lateral moves to other FCS teams. On top of that we lost the first OC we hired to another FCS team. Embarrassing for the program.

My expectations have not changed at all. Based on prior years performance I expect them to be 6-1 at home, maybe even 7-0. What is yet to be determined is have they learned to win on the road. It starts this week. A win in Fargo and the expectations will increase. A blow out loss and its the same old same old. If they lose, but are competitive than good things can still be in front of them. A loss in Fargo would probably mean needed to run the table to have a special season.

A question we will never know the answer to but, if Jerry would have played the 2nd half of the Montana game would be have won? I was hoping they would switch QBs a half time, but they didn't and UND won. I keep thinking back to Tom Millers article before the starting QB was selected and he said Romfo and Trey had 40% chance to win the staring QB spot and Jerry was at 20%. If Tom sees it and he has watch a lot more practice than any of us, maybe Jerry is not ready yet. If Trey would have stuck around maybe he would have gotten a chance. Another thing we will never know.

This is a great addition to our community. Sounds like the HS State Softball tournament will be hosted there next spring. It won't hardly cost the State anything as the Albrecht's wanted to make sure this would benefit both the university and the youth. I was told what the state had to pay NDSU in 2023 to host the State Tournament at their facility. It was ridiculous and should never be hosted there again.

Offense and defense did wonderful job of feeding off each other. Love how after we scored the defense forced a 3 and out and after the forced 3 and out the offense held onto the ball and kept the MT offense rusty on the sideline. It was a thing of beauty. Best offense is a strong defense and best defense is a sting offense.

If Jerry and Trey could run as well as Romfo, the coaches would have had designated plays for them last year.

Romfo seems to buy time with his legs until Bo was able to get open and find him for the 1st down a few times. I question whether Jerry would be able to do that. Romfo was also able to scramble for some nice runs. I like that we played an FBS team right before Montana. Everything should slow down for Romfo vs Montana. Hoping to see him run the offense much better in front of a friendly crowd the next 4 week and go to Fargo feeling much more comfortable running the offence.

With a TD or FG you need the defense to make a stop or 2

FG makes it 2 score game. FG was right call on 4th and 15. If only we had FG kicker

I'm not sure how you figured he was lying. All he said was he enjoyed working with Fruechte and learned a lot. That can still be true. He is just looking for somewhere else where he will get a chance to play.
