Expane what your point is please

Then UND has indeed reached its pinnacle. Be happy with what we got and stop all this list bull$%!# because they are already as interested as they will get, Summit League and Missouri Valley drive the bus, in a national value, not hockey my friend. Hockey very finite, basketball and football has always produced more in the state of ND since its inceptioT here is only 1 State of Hockey and ND is 4 or 5 on the list of 7. College sports is a money game and UND is losing.

Serious question. What if UND didn't fund hockey like it does and hits mens/womens basketball and football at highest priority like rest of nation, and North Dakota, I'm just spit ballin' as most of your host state doesn't follow the main sport of UND like basketball and football is followed. Would this help sponsorship the more important sports at a higher level and also these sports generate a higher level of funds.

I have lived in Minot area now for a while now and have spoken to him and get the chance to visit with many of the athletes in this area, but let's just say, he is not taking any advanced math classes as a nice way of saying he will give you some entertaining moments but there is a reason for things.

UND is now dependent on IndSt.U. and IllSt. to be good wins, so hoping for success from those teams, which is very possible, in case UND loses to SDSU and USD, but USD QB sounds banged up, which is a plus!!

You are correct, could change from a very bad loss, to a bad loss if they win out. They lost to Duquesne! And were not competitive w/ SDSU gave up 63, not competitive w/ Pitt gave up 73!! Your their good win, their resume is YOU!

Are you a booster? Why put up with this !@#$? I'm sure there is enough of you to put pressure on admin to make changes, I keep hearing about strong football heritage and culture that I would say only used to exist, from outside looking in I see less national championships than Northern Colorado and that was at Div. II, you boosters need to forget about giving grace and go collect some heads, I've seen it at lower levels, but you have to Take Part! The time for being disappointed has finished after the home Richmond loss, time to act is now!! If your not a big influencial booster I am sure you know some that you can fire up!!I t would be so amazing seeing 4 Dakota schools and a stronger N. Iowa powering through a conference and battling like I saw w/ NDSU v. SDSU year in and out but you guys are losing ground! And if Admin is statis q., then make them be accountable!! The MSVFC is what real football fans would really tie their carriage too. Make those fucks listen or get out of the way!!

Bubba will lose to both SD schools this year, and you play an improving IStU. team at their house, UND won't be able to host a playoff game, I don't believe and I am afraid the playoffs are in serious question whether UND will be taking part in them this year.

No disrespect, but thinking back, since the transition, lack of depth has been the issue with running the 3-4 at this university since Bubba has been on the job. This has been a constant topic on this board always. And its true, not enough capable linebackers are able to be signed to run a proficient 3-4 for a solid season. But evolution, changes and more capable recruiting never takes place so some years you can talk and brag about parts of the defense and be totally correct but as soon as one suffers a bad injury, graduation or transfer....Trouble on the mound coach! If the coach doesn't evolve to the needs of his team or the deficient parts of the team, the team is not going to accomplish all goals, so from looking at this team during its Division 1 run, one thing is constant, and I know we have passionate fans on this board so I won't point anything out blantantly,..... but, Coach Bubba would you like to comment

And it doesn't. This years seedings do not account for last years games.

Tressel has pretty nice list of candidates for HC at Youngstown, JMU offensive coordinator and some P5 assistants in the running. https://footballscoop.com/news/update-at-youngstown-state/

Probably USD's best recruiting class of their D1 era (on paper) we will see in 2-3 yrs. Real offers yes I believe, they could have been pulled due to position filled or many other reasons, kid has a lot of talent and his brother is on roster already.

The Committee Chair listed all the things they take into consideration again this year, like years before that they use to determine host teams. I can't quote all of them but some were if they hosted before in playoffs, previous playoff experiences, game atmosphere, facility the team plays at, last thing mentioned was financial. No idea the weight of each but maybe not hosting had to do with number of seats empty during games and the look it gives on TV.

Before the game SE Louisiana 7-3 and Nichols 7-4 and outside of bubble, after game Nichols goes 8-4 and get AQ and SELA 7-4 w/ a #22 ranking in the coaches poll which is one of the "tools" committee uses for at large, just adds another team to bubble. I figured a Nichols loss is what was needed.

This year, with a 12 game season, you will need 8, 7 will get you a scrutinized consideration, and quality wins, not quality losses, just like previous 12 game seasons.
