    While I want this to be true more than almost anything, until I see it, I have to believe that other teams are going to fold under the pressure of having to knock off the undisputed kings of FCS. 
     

    PS. Please let it be UND that does the dethroning. 

    McFeely said “NDSU stopped NDSU” in his column. The unsportsmanlike like conduct penalty and the ? Call by the OC we’re both mentioned. Sounds like they know…

    Not out of the realm of possibility considering they have collapsed before. 

    My mother always said…. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Arrogance did seem to be a factor yesterday.

    Listened to 2nd half of NDSU game on way to The Ralph. Phil Hansen is the worst color guy I've ever listened to. If he actually got a degree from NDSU the university needs to recind it. Could not put two consecutive thoughts together or put a coherent sentence together.  Atrocious!

    Well…all I know is that ours are 200% better.

    There will be a new #1 team in the land after today and UND will face them next week.  NDSU gets exposed this week.

    Well I listened to the game. Here’s my take away:

    1. Our radio announcers are MUCH better.

    2. I have read some….disappointment or questioning about the Bison dynasty in the paper. The radio announcers reinforced this today.

    3. I have attended or listened to 4 different college games since the start of the season. We are in last place with this NIL. I do not understand it but we need to beef it up.

    4. SU has better community support and sponsorship on their radio ads….every type of play had a sponsor, it seemed.

    looking forward to the rest of our season.

    I would love to meet that guy in person! Him not so much….. 

    at least you can blame the alcohol for your craziness! 

    You could have posted this and invited more people….Zorbaz would be a neutral (?) location

    Curious to find out from those who have been to other college FB games this season (not at the Alerus) if UND is still the only team that takes a knee pregame/pre-anthem? I haven't seen it elsewhere.

    Well some colleges (I no longer follow pro football) do not take the field until after the National Anthem. Then there is no issue about kneeling/not kneeling.

    I don't have distance breakdowns but for what it's worth Peterka was a career 72 percent FG kicker (58/80) over 4 years.

    Hellevang was hella sketchy at 61% (45/73) over 4 years.

    Cameron was so dependable…but missed 2 in the championship game…heartbreaking.

    Just to dial back on things, how do we reconcile an article like this, where the kid says "Everything about them I loved," to the topic of this thread, which is essentially saying "we don't like our coach, who else is available"?  You've got to give some props to the staff for creating an environment that yields this kind of strong response.  We can't be doing everything wrong.

    I read that article too this morning…great comments and yes, we must be doing something right

    Oh. My. God. This thread is embarrassing.  Argue all you want, but really both college hockey and FCS football are niche sports at the national level.  They are what we make of them.

    Almost makes you wish for the Bison…at least that wasn’t in-fighting.

    I always thought Chaves was a sketch hire, just another in a line of bad AD hires.  

    You know…I am old and I have always thought experience is important. It still is but I think I would like to see an AD, maybe mid-30s or so, with some real passion for UND. The innate abilities to do the job and then polish him/her off to be a real gem. The importance  of networking in the community and the role of technology. Maybe even a home grown AD who would be on a first name basis with the extended community. Not a GOBC guy who will meet up with friends at conferences and reminisce.

    just saying….

    UND was doing great under Thomas and Lennon until we failed to move up when everyone else did. Our facilities have never been the top compared to our competition. What did they do that  Bubba is not?

    True….

    Also, IMHO RT handed DL a hard working, motivated team with a passion for winning. A passion that was team-wide not a few players. DL had little building to do. Bubba has had to build and rebuild. Then throw in an off-the-field event every 3 years….
