Obviously some things need to change for this program to make the playoffs and be the best in the region again. This isn't a Fire Muss thread by the way.

This team doesn't quite have things clicking yet..... In other news the President is black.

One problem I have with the complaints from everyone about 'the bomb on 3rd and 1' is that you have jameer Jackson against a much smaller db in press coverage with no safety over the top. You take that shot 100% of the time. Now the fourth down was a different story, the personel on the field was ridiculous. Put Marcus in and do a read option with another option being a pass to a te. Runner jer up the middle was a head scratcher.

Going to be a beautiful day in greeley today for thie game. Time to send the seniors out on the right note and coaches out on the recruiting trail with a winning record and momentum. This game should be a good one, they're a lot better than their record.

46 shots huh? Did Chavon Mackey switch sports tonight?

Why can't the men's team put either numbers or an nd in the void on their jersey?

He's the one NDSU fan on this board that bring legit comments to conversations. He's not a troll. Just because he's an NDSU fan doesn't automatically make him a troll/douche. But I guess if you want to be a blind homer dbag like those on bisonville then by all means.

I didn't know every seat was filled for every home game for you guys. My bad, I must have confused you guys with someone else.

Soooooo, tell me what a sellout means to you. Seriously. I know it's hard to wrap your mind around concepts and thoughts and then attempt to comment on those 'thoughts' but really, you sold out every game this year? Also for your hockey comment, notice how I didn't say they sellout against lower teams? Apparently not.

I don't have attendance numbers from last time UND was #1 in football and played a bad team but every year the hockey team has at least 11,000 people in the seats for exhibition games or series against a terrible Michigan Tech team. 0-7 sounds like an excuse to me. You guys were 7-0 and just beat Minnesota, if the attendance wasn't pathetic the thread wouldn't have existed in the first place. Back to the whole point of the link, UND football will continue to improve in the attendance department for the next couple of years as we regain our rightful national prominence.

someone gets the point finally

If you're the #1 team in the country and coming off of a huge win like they were you should very close to a sellout the next game and have an excited atmosphere regardless of who you play.

Must be nice to have really high reading comprehension and realize that they were the #1 team in the country coming off of a win against a big ten team. Or understanding that them getting a crowd of 16000 is the same as having 10200 at the Alerus.

A little perspective from a place where all they have is football as far as attendance concerns go http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?11323-Quietdome-Where-s-the-support

Which makes this years sieve they call a defense all the more disappointing. I'm expecting a win this weekend, by about 14.

Perhaps the expectations were to win. The team was plenty good enough to make the playoffs this year, they failed. Execution of small things at critical times in important winnable games was unacceptable. Finishing 6-5 if we win this week will be ok, 3 of our losses were given to the opponent which makes 6-5 seem not so good. Expectations need to be sky high every year, if they aren't, don't expect the team to attain any great success. There's a reason NDSU is successful.

Being near the top in the offensive stats is not nearly as important as being the top defense. Hopefully they can improve like SDSU did from last year. Defense always travels well in any weather, the same can't be said about offense.

That's nothing to brag about. Those are teams we should beat with regularity. Beating ranked teams is something to actually feel good about, maybe next year we can feel good about that.

MSU EWU NDSU and possibly SDSU all have chances to go deep.

Paper says a shootout, my brain says probably not.

They're a pretty good team, they just haven't done what it takes to win the close games, much like UND....................s defense

Me neither, Hardin McGill Jackson Golladay Fletcher Townsend and Bridges, that's a totally different animal than Vraa and Smith. Our D will improve next year, hopefully as much as SDSU's did. If they do, with that favorable schedule, we'll see you in the playoffs.

The way SDSU finished that game with mental mistake after mental mistake kind of tainted a really hard hitting defensive battle.... that illegal substitution penalty left me dumbfounded.

That explains why its taking so long...... I assume he drives a red convertable too.

Perhaps I should have used pink font for the bus faire comment? I'm not desperate, just tired of waiting for gt to finish measuring his Dick.
