It was one sentence dropped into a 10 minute love affair with FU their MVC buddy. Can't see a tired curmedgeon like Joe G being able to turn things around at USD. I like UND's path for football much better.
Always a spot at Courtney's Comedy Club for Joe. I hope he gets his lockjaw checked out today after blowing the Bison that hard and long.

I have accepted the youth, inconsistency, average talent, lack of depth, and a coaching staff with little experience in the Big Sky and 1 late/partial year recruiting. Maybe 1 or 2 more wins this year and continue the rebuild. I am still optimistic about the next few years.

I imagine his pregame speech was a motivator. If I was a recruit I would really question the program, staff and support.
Vermillion is a dump, it has to be a tough place to recruit. I don't think the 12 people listening to his press conference are going to matter.

Bartles is capable. He faces same challenges Joe did. Receivers don't always run right route and don't always catch ball. Don't have as much time as some of you think sometimes. The offensive issues aren't and haven't been the QB. If Bartels can bring us back, he starts and with Joe hurt he probably starts anyway.
Reason fake punt there isn't bad call is cuz no one else thought we should fake it either and it should have gone. I didn't like taking wind and giving up ball to start game but I understand it. Defense hasn't adjusted to Mountain time.
Bartels throws off his back foot a lot and uses a lot of arm, but he makes it work.

We might beat the record set by the French army for most drops in 2nd half.

UND - 30
SUU - 27

About Sharp, or any other player, the answer is the same. The coaches will play the player that gives them the best chance to win, judged by them. So ability and performance are the criteria, mixed in with character. We have a punter that 'didn't tell the truth about his eligibility' yet talent wise is a better punter than the freshman. And, we have someone on the d-line with talent, but with some character issues, and his playing time has been affected. With Sharp, I don't know of any character issues, so I have to conclude the coaches are more confident in the other backs as far as ability and performance.

Two quick questions for you.
1.) Has the 7th best conference in the FCS, according to the Sagarin rankings, ever had 4 teams in the playoffs?
2.) Has a team that was unranked and not receiving a single vote, in either the coaches poll or Sports Network poll, as of Week 10, ever went on to then make the playoffs?
You do understand what 'Extremely Hypothetical' means in this case, correct? It's not like the topic is named 'Playoffs Here We Come!!'
-
UND should be able to run the ball, SUU is 81st in scoring defense and 2nd to last in Rush Defense. They are horrible against the rush. Giving up over 270 yards a game on the ground.
That number might be a little skewed as Cal Poly put up 470 (going off memory) rushing yards or something crazy against SUU......and that's an unconventional running attack. But overall point taken, we should be able to muster at least 150/ground, 150/air, or it will be a disappointment.
-
It might be different if Shaugs can consistently get into the mix.
I hope he is back in the mix, but we are still running behind a Barry Sanders type line......that hopefully evolves into an Emmit Smith type line the next few years.
-
You can try to be a "clock chewing, run defense" first team all you want, but in reality UND is not one. They have virtually zero run game.
I think for the most part if a defense wants to shut down our run game, they will, cause we don't have the horses to force it down anyone's throat. Like an old CEO told me, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't shove his head in it." That said, I think Rudolph has accepted this to a point and starting taking more yards via the pass. Opening up the passing game may open up the run game......we'll see. I'd like to think we could run or pass on Southern Utah cause they haven't stopped either.
-
About the game - Southern Utah, last 3 games has passing yards of 402, 434, and 528 in the most recent loss. UND only had 503 total yards in its last 2 games combined (Griz and Portland St.) to add some perspective. Point being, Southern Utah might not even bother with running the ball, I wouldn't if I were them. We really need our offense to chew up the clock and yards, and capitalize with TD's on drives. If we lay an egg offensively we'll be in trouble. Definitely an interesting matchup with their passing yards and if we are susceptible on defense, it's the passing defense. I think the whole secondary is due for some picks.
note to Schmitty: watch #6 out of the backfield on wheel route, don't get caught in man-to-man with LB

We have 4 dog fights left on the schedule and an Eastern Washington game in which we're a 2-3 touchdown dog. Here's to biting and scratching the rest of the year-

Students have a lot more on their plate then a few years ago. Many students find they are better off in the long run working, studying, or being apart of UND programs such as Chi Alpha, Studio One, Club sports, or student gov then spending all day at a game. Also when people do have off time, they want to attend a party like event to cool off such as at the Ralph.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I am pretty sure students want to drink cheap beer and not be hassled, and live life through a smart phone.

Maybe more donations right now could up the bells and whistles and attract recruits even more. See the hockey locker room.... Imagine if this could even be in the same ballpark as the hockey locker room...
We need a uniform contract in a bad way. Kids want to look good, cool, whatever you want to call it.

That word starts with a d and ends with a bag.

Big Sky is the same story every year. A few good teams at the top and horrible teams throughout the bottom.UND might win 7 games this year, but which win is going to stand out to the playoff committee and scream to them? There has never been a 7 win team, other than a conference champ, who has made the playoffs without winning a game against a ranked opponent or FBS team.
Who are you arguing with.....if you are looking for a reaction about the same story every year here is one- total !@#!$! comment.

Point being 7-5 is a no go for playoffs, especially with bad loss to Missouri St. and struggles with Robert Morris.

The Missouri Valley is by far the toughest conference in the FCS this year. I don't even think a 7 win valley team gets in this year.
Do you think it really is?
I'm sure someone will do a big analysis but it appears to me the Big Sky is down a bit this year and Missouri Valley is solid. So I will say it, I think the Big Sky is second fiddle.

My frustrations are because of high expectations. You can watch freshman quarterbacks and 1st year starters all over the country lighting things up and when you look at our QBs.......they've had a redshirt year, a freshman year (both under Muss), and now in their 3rd year we should be seeing better QB play. If you're going to be a stud my feeling is you would have seen it by now, 3rd year in college football. I guess the SUU game will be telling for Molberg. I think the reps will be more divided in practice because 1) different guys react differently to concussions 2) everyone is ultrasensitive about the 'C' word so any little thing that goes wrong will be 'concussion' related with Joe.

Relax ladies the Gogc is taking apps go join them
The Gobc is membership only. Meaning you have to be recruited to be in the club
Age requirements? Probably a drinking initiation?

I bet if he cut turnovers out of his diet, he would have the physique of an Ironman triathlete.
That was really funny. Good one.
-
Can't argue what Bartels did in a half game. I would give Bartels 2 weeks and give him his shot. I still don't know how good/bad these 2 are cause as an offense we could use help at every position.......serious help.
-
Mollberg also came in touted as a very athletic, mobile, running QB. Ran for over 1,000 yds as a HS Jr QB, while that ankle injury limited his play & his games Sr year, I believe.
I know Joe has bulked up quite a bit since coming to UND... I've thought this whole season that Joe should drop a few pounds in order to regain some of that speed & mobility he used to have. Work on some speed training in the off-season, if that's what Rudolph wants in this offense from the QB.
Definitely will be interesting to see what happens the rest of this year (Bartels & Mollberg) & for next season, if Bartels, Mollberg & Studsrud are all in the mix.
Most guys can handle extra weight and not lose speed and mobility, not sure with Joe, cause he was a pretty good runner in high school. You can project players to drop a few tenths off a 40 in college. I think Joe added a tenth.

That's a joke bro. I haven't heard a coach from UND say a bad word about any program......and I have prodded the last 20 years. Get lost.
