Some good stuff on here the last couple of days.

"Leave no doubt" was initiated after the 2015 playoff selection committee did not choose them and the part they were to "leave no doubt" about was whether they should be in the playoffs the next season. In 2016 UND won the Big Sky auto-bid, so, technically, they did "leave no doubt" the next season after implementing that saying.

No insider information here, just basing this on things I've heard, seen, and read, but I would say Bubba's UND culture is based on academics, school pride, responsibility, and compassion. But throat slitting doesn't appear to part of it (unless you're beating NDSU). Keeps way too many way too close.

So, someone was saying that Transfer Portal for non-graduate students opens today? Is the fact that we're not seeing any TP announcements so far a good thing? Or too early to tell?

That Blake to McLaughlin goal was very similar to the Scmaltz to Caggiula goal in the 2016 National Championship game.

Hell of a game.

Bubba called out his own ineptitude when he said he wishes Dale Lennon could speak to team before every game.

I wonder if he's privy to some "dust" that hasn't been "settled" yet...

Thinking about this some more, they are probably going to wait until they believe the transfer portal situation is done or at least close to done.

I keep checking the site to see if there's a write-up and/or podcast after the Sac St. game.

We need the next Dale Lennon at DC and instead of implementing a defense designed to stop the veer, he implements a defense designed to win a playoff game.

My comment wasn’t a direct response to anyone or anyone’s comments, just an observation at large that we seem to be going through DCs without much changing. That’s the part that needs to get figured out.

I mean, doesn't it depend on what and how they implement it? Like some people were saying, scheme doesn't necessarily matter, but you've got to recruit well to whatever scheme you're trying to implement. Blitzing on 3rd and long will work if you get home. But if you don't, that's a lot of open receivers downfield. So maybe don't send that many on the blitz if your defensive athletes aren't better than the offensive athletes.

Thanks. I saw that Sulik name mentioned earlier, but didn't know if that was a wishful thinking kid, local kid, committed kid, etc. Clears things up for me anyway.

Does UND have a QB commitment yet for the 2024 signing class? I'm sure I could look it up somewhere, but if someone knows off the top of their head.

How many DCs under Bubba so far? Schmidt, Holinka, Schwenzfeier? Need to get that defense figured out.

I'm not opposed to it. A little taller and a little bigger than Tommy. Probably would get about 1/4 of the playing time as his brother, if things go the way we think they should go.

No. It will be determined in fall camp. And probably not even announced until game week of Iowa State.

With a new QB, so many of our games will blowouts that the backup QB will be playing before the 4th Quarter starts

Yeah, he’s come up several times.

Hate to say it, but this scenario possibly exists next season. Hope it doesn't, though.

The battle between Feeney and Kaminski at fall camp will probably be pretty epic.

Now, if we can get some coaches in the transfer portal....

Congrats on a record-breaking career at UND, Tommy.

Looks like any MAC coordinator would be getting a pay bump to be HC at UND.
