I don't think I see 11-0 next year, but that certainly would be awesome. We play at Utah next year, that will obviously be a tough one. Actually if we went 9-2 again next year that would be a pretty solid record with next years schedule. Will still want to win them all though.

Especially given how poor we were last year when teams could just chuck the ball up in the air and our guys many times wouldn't even be able to make a realistic play at the ball. Gotta give a lot of credit to the coaches for coaching them up, and the players for putting in the work.

And if they didn't play UND that year they would have run through the 'vaunted' MVFC with only 2 losses, and an FBS loss and would have likely been ranked around number 10 and made the playoffs. Kind of makes the point. It certainly wasn't the best team they ever had but they were able to roll through the MVFC and only lose twice. If all of the other teams were so tough shouldn't they have lost some more games in conference?

And for those that want to bash transfers, if we didn't have him this year we wouldn't be where we are. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. In Bubba's transition we needed to take a chance on a few transfers to fill gaps and this is one that was huge for us. I would guess transfers will be a lot less going forward now that Bubba has been able to start to build depth through good recruiting. Some people, or maybe it was mostly Bison folks coming on here not sure, talking badly about how many transfers we had the past couple of years just don't get it. To me it was only logical to fill short term gaps with transfers so we could get to where we wanted to sooner rather than later.

I actually was going to add that the one year Illinois State played them in the championship so I was going to give them that. But I got a work call and had to just hit send lol. UNI is often considered one of your toughest game every year, and probably considered one of the traditional conference power houses am I right? Roughly 35 years at the FCS level they have one Championship game appearance, with a loss. That said UNI has a very good program, but they are not mini LSU like some NDSU people like to think just because they usually give you a tough game. Heck UND beat them at their house in the early 2000's when we were DII. The previous couple of years the MVFC I think most could say was the best conference, this year just doesn't bare that out that the conference is head and shoulders above the rest.

Yep it was 100% designed that way, there is no way Brady just decided to do that on spur of the moment.

That simply cannot be true. Don'tcha know no kid would ever choose UND over NDSU to play football.

Exactly, take NDSU out of that conference and what have they done? Nobody other than NDSU in that conference has won a National Championship in the past 15 years. They all lose to NDSU you every year during the regular season, but one team in the conference knocks them off once a year. Well every team gets a crack at NDSU every single year, so yes most likely a MVFC team is going to be the one to beat them eventually as they know their style and play them every year. But just the fact that the other teams play NDSU and lose, the other teams in the conference are somehow all better. MVFC is a very good conference no doubt, I just don't believe they are head and shoulders above the rest like they think they are, and facts don't lie.....Big Sky has a better record of them head to head this year.

Yes it was a dart, and good thing too otherwise it could have maybe gotten picked off if he lobbed it. He bought time on that play too, he gets a 10 out of 10 for execution on that one for sure! And that fake was one of the better fakes I've ever seen, maybe if he wouldn't have faked out the cameraman they could have submitted it for a top 10 plays of the week or something.

We would have to question the sanity of our coaching staff if they told him to keep kicking it short to Weber.

I'd take that, might be a little rust after two weeks off.

Totally agree with you there, kinda helps make my point actually. I hope the team gets the support they deserve too should we get to host a playoff game.

Just curious, do you think your negative comments on here about attendance are actually helping anything? Do you think there are people on this site that didn't go to the game, who read your post and said to themselves......"ahhh damn Oxbow is right, I should have been at the game I guess I'm going to start going now". That's awesome that you were at the game and the hockey game and are a great supporter, we need more people like you but if you somehow think you are heroic by complaining on here about it, you're not. We would all like more people at the game, but constantly whining about it on a blog doesn't change anything.

I'd much prefer he continue to field punts even when Seibel comes back. Was nice to a senior that doesn't get much playing time, be so pivotal on Senior Day.

Awesome seeing how much Bubba loves UND and how much it meant for him to be the coach here to bring us our first Big Sky Championship (co champs). He has left No Doubt that he was the right choice!

Today's games are posted for replay already. I watched the last 10 minutes of the game again......fun to watch! Enjoyed it more this time too because I didn't have to be nervous!

Who would you give the game ball to today......Mercer who had a Monster day, or Studs for gritting it out and leading us to that comeback?

Yeah we need a burner. Complete monster of a day today by Mercer! Our WR's are good and fortunately they've become really good at going up and getting the ball in traffic. Which they kind of have too, it's amazing Studs doesn't have more picks because many times the guys are covered and he just puts the ball in a place where our guys have an advantage to go get it.......and they've been really good and going and getting it. However can't always count on our guys to win those jump balls all day long. Back shoulder throw is good with this group because we are not going to beat them deep in most instances.

We've won 9 in a row, and our only FCS loss is a close one on the road to a team who rolled a top 10 FCS Richmond. I think our resume is pretty good, and 9 wins in a row is impressive.

Do you know if there is a link to watch that game online somewhere?

Exacty, look at the positive side of where things are going instead of some who just bitch that we don't have 11k every game. It takes more than one year to completely turn things around with a fan base.

That's what I thought too.....on reply though it looked like NAU guy kind of tripped on his own, although couldn't see what happened right before that.

DO YOU BELEIVE.......YES.....WE ARE BIG SKY CHAMPIONS!!!!

They have 4 downs the rest of the way...will be tough to stop.

Wow this has been amazing!! Lot of time left though against a quick offense.
