Did we win?

Dennis is in a boot.

Bo knows football!!!

TE U

It was 10 yards wide right.... horrible. Not sure if I've ever seen a kick that close missed by that far before.....woof

Gave up yards on that first drive....was having flashbacks of opening drive TD's. At least we held this time.

Prediction...... Ziebarth has a breakout game

I agree with you there, we do absolutely need more big wins against top programs. And we need to stop having poor losses as well, and be more consistent overall. We need a deep playoff run and start doing it year after year. The goal is for us to get to the point where if we beat a top team, it's not a surprise or an upset. This goon probably agrees with you more than you think.

Schlossman states "If UND does not pull an upset in any of those (Boise St., SDSU, NDSU) a seed is likely out of the picture" Well call me a goon then because that is the same thing I said lol. I said we need to beat NDSU which is one of the three he said we need to beat. Running the table to stay at only 2 losses the rest of the year doesn't give us much wiggle room I agree with you there. I just think we still have a chance and all is not lost if we start 4-2, but then again I am just a Goon after all. Going to crack a beer to get ready for Metallica tonight...and UND football tomorrow....and long weekend...great time of year!

Actually that article highlights what most of the rest of us said, we can't go 3-3 (losing to Boise St., SDSU, NDSU) or we are in trouble. You've consistently said if we start 2-2 we are in trouble. Huge difference between 2-2 and 3-3 and I'm not going to get into a pissing match about the reasons. NDSU is a must win game IMO, even if we beat Boise St. or SDSU, we need to beat NDSU this year. This comment doesn't mean I have low expectations and don't want to beat Boise St. or SDSU, just clarifying that this article highlights what most of us have been saying. I'm hoping it's a fun 2023 season too.....Go Hawks!

I think them graduating two OL that made NFL rosters, one who will be starting....will be a bigger loss than Luepke. In the past many have predicted their demise a couple of times, I never did because I know they always rebuild. This is the first time though, it seems a little different due to many factors. They realistically could lose 3 games this year, but they very well could run the table. I'm definitely not counting them out, but this has to be our year to beat them. While it's always nice to see them lose, if they do end up beating EWU soundly, that is another feather in MVFC hat over Big Sky which is important come playoff time. I know EWU was down last year, but they will likely be a little better this year and may end up getting a win over one or two of the top 6 Big Sky teams. Plus I'd like NDSU's first loss this year to be to us.

It will be interesting to see how well Quincy does at TE. Definitely a big change going from QB and trying to avoid contact to now having to be a physical blocker on the line. Not sure if he ever played WR or how his hands are. He certainly has the size for the position....will be interesting to watch.

My guess it's a mixture of both. It helps playing Teams you feel like you know....and or dislike. When we played Montana State or Montana at home a few years ago I believe the attendance was always higher for those and it wasn't all due to their fans traveling. The Montana game next year I'm sure will have pretty good attendance. I hate and want to beat Montana as bad or maybe even more as I do NDSU. Team performance and having a strong and fun team to watch is the most important thing I think though. Need to build momentum this year and continue it going forward.

Yeah a lot of kids gone over the long weekend, people at the lake for probably the last time of the summer. Hopefully turn out is still good.

Agree, you couldn't have drawn that schedule up any better if you wanted to! Definitely will be nice to have Montana at home. Will need to win that one for us, and the MVFC in general, that will be a big game.

I agree with you on this one as well. Glad he was named Associate HC and can start playing a bigger role now and can be seen as the next head coach....hopefully not in the too distant future.

And what have you done that's warranted your opinion to be better than his, have you been at every practice this year also? Have you been to one? What's the highest level you played QB at? Danny was WR coach I believe while Rudy was here. Look at the QB room now. We had a good commit that left last minute for FBS, picked up Schuster. Quincy was supposed to be good recruit, had FBS offer. Feeney highly thought of, now Kaminski. And Schuster is better than you give him credit for. Danny just recruited a guy who as a true freshman, you think is better than a watchlist finalist. I think Danny must be doing something right.

UND-FB-FAN.......the thing is most of us doing mind constructive criticism because it has taken much longer to get where we are an still quite a ways to go. I'm ok with some things being questioned and what not. But the volume of negative stuff over and over gets so old, it's multiple times on the daily. You position yourself perfectly to be the I told you so guy if we lose or something goes wrong. And your comment the other days about...."how about we try and win them all". I mean really, you don't think the rest of us want to try and win them all, c'mon. I would probably say more negative stuff from time to time, but I don't have too because you've probably already said it ten times that day. I mean the season is about to start and it's a great time of the year, but the board is a sh*t show right now....it's barely even enjoyable.

Which I wouldn't be surprised if a year or two ago you were calling for, or wondering if he should start. I know last year a couple of games into the season you had some thoughts that maybe Romfo should start because he could run better.

The 360 guys said Beach may play DE at times, particularly if teams try to just drop the plow. Also the FBS transfer has a lot of experience and he has the size needed, they can also put him in at DE if teams are trying to run all over us or going two TE's. Plus we have a dude at NG.....25 lbs heavier than we've had the past couple of years. I think we will be improved on the DL this year. Fort started for us at Safety last year right? Buckner is starting over him....so I take that as a good sign and Buckner may be who we were hoping he would be. Excited to see what Pedigo and McNeal can do at ILB.

No doubt, when is the last time we made a FG over 45 yards. In the last 3-4 years....wonder if we've made more than 3 FG's from 45 or more. Lately a 42 yard FG feels like a 52 yard FG.

That was a perfect ball..... hopefully we see those two hooking up on a lot of connections in the future. But will only be in mop up duty this time unless there are injuries, hoping not. #butwasheontheposter

I'd say most of us agree with you, one win and then a playoff loss would be frustrating as hell and would not be progress. Want more than that.

Hopefully we can pull off an upset against SDSU, but win or lose.......my expectations are we give them a better game than #3 Montana State does.
