So I haven't been on the site since Friday night, came on this morning to get caught up. I click into the 2020 NON UND Football thread......and I see 37 posts from Midwestern Hawk about Bubba and his game management, the 4th down call etc. etc. etc..

I saw that too on some replays they showed later, their QB totally went with his first read into double coverage, the other guy was in middle of field going opposite direction in somewhat of the same area and would have easily walked in with nobody in 10 yards of him. That INT in end zone at the end, that was a helluva pick by the DB I'll give them that. SU always makes the big play when it's needed. It's uncanny.

Good question, especially the one where he got tackled in bounds. Basically game over at that point.

Hope is a dangerous thing when you are hoping for them to lose. I learned this years ago.

JMU clock management and end of game execution on par with UND.

I guess we could say horrible choice by JMU's head coach to take a timeout when they had 3rd and 2. Would of had an extra 40 seconds on this drive. 1:40 is time for a drive. 55 seconds is tough.

Yep, they did. JMU is going to get back with about a minute left.

SU picked off JMU in end zone. Different year, same movie.

SU about to have an 80 yard drive starting at their own 1 yard line, kick a FG to go up two scores.

I used up most of my reverse psychology towards end of first half, but I'll keep trying. It rarely works. I'll say NDSU wins 24-14.

I wish you were right man. But after watching playoffs the past 10 years, I'd still say NDSU would probably win this if they were down 13 going into the 4th quarter. They didn't seem to be as totally dominant this year during regular season, as heck yeah we could have beat them. Based on the first half score....UND is better than JMU? But we know that's not how it really works. SU is always able to ramp it up even more in the playoffs.

Have another drink lol

It's over. Good luck to JMU going to FBS....however you are leaving FCS as losers.

Makes our going for it on 4th down from our own 20 even worse. Maybe we pull out a close win in that game, and then maybe tonight's game is at JMU instead of Fargo. Probably wouldn't have mattered though where tonight's game was played.

Takes away a bit of the excitement and fun of signing week, knowing SU is winning another Natty this year.

Well, would we rather have SDSU or MSU play SU in Frisco? SDSU has obviously proven they can beat them, but could they actually beat them when it really counted? I think tonight's JMU - NDSU game tonight is for the Championship. Sadly it's looking like SU again.

As they should, they would have won a National Championship last year if their QB didn’t go down and I’m semifinals again this year. And now that JMU and Sam Houston are going FBS it’s NDSU and SDSU as the top two programs in the FCS. Montana and MSU are trying to get back to the top of the hill but I think the two SU’s are the cream of the crop. Montana State May beat SDSU in semis this year at home though. Will be fun to see how that one plays out.

After this fall, I would sure hope that an extension wasn't even remotely a possibility to be on the table. Even if we have a semi-final type year next year, I'd only want a 2 year extension at the most.

Looks like also got an offer from Illinois State. Would be nice to get him.

Harder than ever to keep up and remember who is who with all the transferring going on, like that we got a few portal transfers in positions of need. Never thought I'd be so disappointed by a kicker decommitting but I am this time! Hopefully they can land someone good. I see 6-7 games next year being one score games again, we need those 3 points when given the opportunity to get them.

I totally agree and I almost posted something like this analogy a while back. Believe me I can be Plenty negative, and am sometimes, and I get very pissed off and frustrated with coaches and play calls sometimes etc., and I'd probably say more negative things than I do on here at times......kinda like you are saying, I can talk crap against UND football at times like I would against my brother, but I rarely have to because a few others are usually doing it weekly, that I tend to fight all the negative talk, even though some of it I agree with and is legit and warranted. So that is why I fight negative commenters sometimes, it's not that I don't have high expectations. I will say though.....during the heat of the game, I'd throw my mother under the bus momentarily if she made a huge mistake But 5 minutes after the game I'd feel bad for my comment and forgive her. For the most part I think most comments during the game or within an hour or so of a tough/bad loss you almost have to throw out the window as people are too emotional, including myself.

Do any kickers ever come in for any camps or anything? I do think the new kicker looked pretty good thought based on his hudl. I think he will likely be able to do kickoffs as well. It looked like even by his junior year in HS he would have been able to get the ball to the goal line on kickoffs, from the college tee placement. A lot of his kicks his senior year of HS were through the end zone, so at the college tee placement they would have been 5 yards into end zone. I'd love to see that on 90% of the kickoffs. He will surely only get stronger too over the next year.

Why don't you go check out the new Kickers Hudl, and give us a thumbs up or down as to if we should sign him. If you give him a thumbs up, then any time he misses in a game we can blame you for the miss.

Me too, but they won't.

I was going to ask that the other day. So before a kid goes into the portal, is he able to reach out to schools.....and basically say hey if I go into portal would you give me an offer, and can coaches at that other school communicate with that player prior to them going into the portal if the player is the one who initiated contact with them? Thought about this particularly with Urweiler, he committed within like 24 hours of going into the portal. Or in his case do they communicate through his brother so the coach and him have no direct contact before he goes into the portal. Have to almost think Urweiler new he would be in at NIU before he ever went into the portal.
