I still think Tupac is a step above the later years of Pryor when one eye was out the door, and incredibly better than Tiffin. They’ve been in most sets this year. You have remember how low the program sank after the glory years. But I wouldn’t give Tupac a lifetime contract, or even an extension. The W-L record must be better next year or the leash is getting short.

I don’t agree with this, but he does seem incapable of recognizing the situation.

I think he meant most of the season. With the exception of the top two teams in FCS, the offense has put up plenty of points that a capable defense should not allow more.

Chaves started before Armacost, correct?

Then that’s what probably will happen.

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).
