So was this a good win?

As a UND fan with his eyes on the future, what is the preferred outcome? I've been thinking losses to help revamp the coaching staff. What else do we stand to lose by losing? Maybe a better question is what do we stand to gain from winning?

I see what you did there.

For most, it was at the end of last season.

I couldn't bear to hang around Sioux Sports after the last two football games, so I'm way behind. Could you bring me up to speed on "the picture"?

Just as I am sure everybody in the WCHA would have picked Minnesota.

Yeah, unless the line is ridiculously close, I'm with ya.

What's the line?

I expect a win, but I expect it to be close.

I believe #1 is correct, and I also was surprised by overturned first down call.

Gronowski and Romfo

I see this game as similar to the 2022 game in Youngstown. It would be a solid road victory, for sure, even if the score is tight.

It will be sellout no problem if we win the next 2.

@fightingsioux4life@Siouxperman8 take care of yourselves

I don’t always challenge an uncalled major penalty, but when I do I get an opponent’s goal taken off the board and score 3 unanswered goals.

Do I dare ask if a link will be posted??

Betting line on this one? I would guess around 14 with O/U around 50.

Agreed. I don't think the fans are quite ready to commit to being regulars again after the later Pryor years and especially the Tiffin years scared off just about the whole lot. Need to have these wins against USD at home to instill some confidence that fans who come out will see them on the winning end.

Year 11 for UND. Year 40 of coaching. Hard to believe he still has to say this. Give the reigns to Fruechte and let him hire his own DC.

Maybe the reverse of last year will happen. Instead of a blowout victory over NDSU leading to a collapse, the blowout defeat will be a turnaround. Lots of things in UND's favor yet: a bye week at a strategic time, weak road opponents, high profile home games. Still hoping for 9-3 (or better).

UND came back to beat ORU in 5 after being down 0-2. Good resiliency.

Knowing UND, some unheard of on NDSU's roster will have a break out day.

THanks so much, nodak. I also found this on the Midco deal: "Midco Sports will broadcast most conference road games for the football program" key word MOST https://fightinghawks.com/news/2022/8/4/general-und-athletics-midco-sports-announce-multi-year-television-rights-agreement.aspx

Changing the subject, didn't Midco's lastest deal with UND require football broadcasts of all away games? Indiana State and Illinois State are listed as ESPN+ - no Midco.

Other than the Bison game, none of the road games are ones I would consider to be a loss from the get go. If they are 7-5 after starting 4-1, that would be a huge collapse, IMO. Need to see minimum 8-4, and even that is a little underwhelming.
