We didn't get a single vote in the coaches poll. So if we pull off an upset against Sam Houston, what's the highest you think we'd jump into the poll....if at all. If we win I'd think we'd at least have to jump into the top 25. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/football/fcs/fcs-coaches-poll

Hey Mister Sensitivity, honest question so we can understand you better. Did you play or coach college ball, DI, DIi, NAIA, or any level. Seriously not a knock, just an honest question. Perhaps if we understand you background and expertise we can understand your posts a bit better. You may have lot more experience on these things that we give you credit for. Obviously Gundy and Geausiux have played and most respect their insight, and they generally speak the truth without too much Kelly green glasses. You honestly may have more experience etc. that we are not aware of. Perhaps if you share that we wont be as critical. Go Signed "Jason" aka delusional loser

This Some people think the more they post the smarter they are.

Lets crush them!

Biggest positive for me......we held our own in the trenches on both sides of the ball and Tank and still missing one starter on OL. I thought we would get man handled a bit.

Ok, I can totally understand that then. I was hoping there was a legit reason, makes sense. Would have been demoralizing for him I would think not to play more if he was healthy. Thanks for the info.

I have more hope for our secondary after this game, compared to last week. A few times guys were open, yes. Many of the pass plays were perfect dimes or back shoulder throws that are nearly impossible to defend but our guys were right there. That corner TD catch towards the end, Harris was right there, was just a perfect adjustment by WR to come back and get that.

My biggest disappointment today is Brady only getting 3 carries. Unless there was some specific reason, I just can't understand that. A guy who is a senior and done a lot for UND football the past 4 years......you barely use him in the BIGGEST game he will ever play in. Shameful in my opinion and I feel bad for Brady. JJ is not better than Brady and should not have gotten more playing time than Brady who is a senior and proven his worth.

Me too!!

Our OL has held their own, gives me hope for them this year. Holding their stuff RB to 13 yards on 10 Carrie's in first half...was impressive

Well Rudy that was a great call on 3rd down, fumble ruined it.

I agree, that second down pass play never had a chance he wasnt going to fool them.

He was trying to pass to appease people on this fan board.

We know

I agree

There are some that complained about Taubs…..boy I bet they wish we still had him. That was one of the worst FG kicks I've seen, not sure if this kicker is going to work. Better get on the horn to somebody and figure this out, it's going to suck if our kicker is 25% conversion rate from 40 yards. Currently 0%.....Ugh.

Well all of you that wanted him to go for it on 4th down got your wish

Or maybe he thought, our defense is playing well.....if we punt and get them to go three and out, we get ball back at mid field. Hind sight is always 20-20. If we didnt make it and Washington got the ball at mid field and took it in and scored, guarantee some of you would have said Bubba was desperate by going for it that early.

For those who hadn't seen this yet...somebody posted this link: http://oklivetv.com/pac-12-network-live/ The Oregon - Portland St. game is on right now and sounds like the Washington - UND game will be on there. Don't have to download anything. I don't think there are any other Pac 12 games until around 6:30 Central Time so I would assume they would be showing the UW-UND game.

7-0 UND Santiago returns opening kickoff for a TD. A storm rolls in and lighting strikes and they have to call the game 2 minutes in.

Nice feature on the OL, I'm sure it gets to them when everybody says they aren't good enough or are the weak spot. Hopefully they will step it up and play out of their minds this Saturday and then continue to gel throughout the year.

I could be wrong, but he probably meant didn't go to either UND or NDSU and just didn't have strong enough ties one way or another to hate one and only rule for the other. My dad went to grad school at NDSU, both me and my brother went to UND and he became a UND fan. However with NDSU's recent success he has rooted for NDSU during their run but still roots for UND. I told him last night I'd send him that Pac12 link somebody posted to watch the game. As for the topic of this thread. On top of what others have said, I also think we need to break a big play or two. Maybe broken coverage on Washington's part, or Santiago finds one of those seems he had when he was a freshman and takes one 65 yards to the house. I doubt we will methodically march down the field against Washington so we will need some big plays.

That would be awesome if that actually works, no subscription or anything needed.

Play action and hit the tight end down the middle. I agree though, please do not run twice up the middle so that we are at third and long. I'm ok if it's 3rd and 10 due to two incomplete passes, at least we tried.

Anybody in the Phoenix/Mesa area planning on trying to go to a bar to watch it? I know RT O'Sullivans has held hockey watch parties before, and I think NDSU football watch parties.
