Not enough doughnuts in GF.

I would agree but SDSU (San Diego) being crappy and lacking talent helps UND's case. Schmidt could be looking at 1) Next HC at UND or 2) next year as DC and potentially fired if that program doesn't turn it around. Never hurts to look more than your current pay check down the road. If SDSU had a winning record and top or improving D Schmidt probably not interested in UND at all.

I don't get your point?? Moorhead HS has talented players, they are close to home, they have kids going FBS that could drop down to a school close to home. Name a better pipeline to pick up a player or 2 per year or every other year.

I don't know about the Tom Miller angle but to be clear on my frustration and disappointment. Romfo is starting QB out of Camp while Feeney doesn't get a sniff. Neither has proven a thing in a college football game. Feeney has about 1,000 more completions in High School at the 5A level. Feeney is taller, stronger arm, tons more throwing experience. Simon runs better. Feeney comes from a school that could be/has a pipeline of talent. Simon is a feel good ND story. Most are just asking, why not see something on the field? Did Simon really blow Feeney and Jerry away in practice to the point it wasn't even close? I find that hard to believe and as someone else mentioned I would trade Romfo with most other QBs in the MVFC. I am frustrated with the lack of QB talent/development the past 11 years and in the process handled this past year so poorly UND can't even show their face at Moorhead High.

On one hand a great ND story with literally a few DI walk-ons per 5 years to maybe 100 years, average it out. OR - One of the biggest High Schools in MN that kicks out DI players annually and 1 hour away. (and we had the coaches son on the roster) This is a tough one for me if my program is struggling in landing top talent.

"tackle better" - Woof!! Torching the Moorhead Pipeline didn't take long to show the results of that. Sounds like anything in Bubba's control isn't changing and we have a weak administration.

Chaves probably handed out turkeys and set up meetings for next week. Maybe a committee or 2 is in the works with one criteria being if a committee member likes a coaches nickname or not. It's total amateur hour at UND 365 days per year.

Not this time although given my history of joking and satire I can see why you asked the question!!

I believe Bubba had too much Bama in him to foresee the fallout. His flaw is too much pride in the program and himself. That's actually an admirable flaw don't you think.

I have "minimal" issues with Bubba as HC up to this point. He fired his OC at one point when it was needed, maybe a year too late but his timing wasn't totally unreasonable. Bubba obviously believed he had a few more years in him after last season. The fall-out wasn't expected (to him) with OC, O-line Coach, starting O-Lineman leaving and at that point he tried his best given the fall-out. Bubba made the wrong call after last season in hindsight as many have noted but he's a fighter too and believed in himself and the University. At 4-1 and 5-2 this season it looked like he was going to pull it off and have a successful season. As it sits today however, going forward, I probably will put most of the blame on the old Ball Coach if he doesn't step down. Bubba has more pride, passion, love for UND than 99% of us. I'm sure he's not feeling good about the finish. If he steps aside this week I am good with that.......he took a shot, wanted many National Titles, failed, but was man enough to go for it. I have known Bubba for 30 years and I am cutting the guy some slack up until this point in the program. Minimal = Road record, Defensive philosophy, recruiting battles, never wowed by QB position talent, could have turned it over to Danny last year Favorite Moment - Kicking the crap out of the Bison and my kids rushing the field after the game. Honorable mention is Deion Harris "To The House" comeback W.

Will Bubba throw Joel off a cliff in an attempt to show next season will be different and save his own paycheck?

"A" by "A". It's catchy!!

Pretty sure facilities, uniform combinations, playing time, NIL funds/opportunities, Wins, NFL pipeline, and sororities are the key phrases to hit on.

Always the risk of rebooting 15 guys into the portal on a "National Search" which is fun. I see both ways on this one.

So proud this is catching on. Not that I want the team to have a bad team GPA.....but I truly don't care when we suck and have a lack of talent.

Maybe go the AI route everyone is talking about??

From May 13th to Today: At least we didn't lose any of my Win or shoot yourself in the head games!! Lost the Indiana State Tossup game. Lost all games with no past indicators of a Victory. W vrs UNI and Griz at home. (In hindsight who would have guessed UNI to be 2-9 and still on the Playoff Bubble) Lost to YSU on the road.........received some pushback on this prediction. We are going to be 5-7, that sucks.

Sense of Humor to match?? I briefly reviewed the long posts and angst among UND Football fans and we are clearly in decline and/or defeated, football team and fan base.

I would take Luke Schleusner(Vandels) over a bunch of those previously mentioned. The portal stole his QB (Jerry Rice Freshman of the year) and RB and they fought through that, played Oregon tough, sitting at 7-3. Luke has lots of cultural experience from the Jacks, flushed out the Mussman in him and that shoe-string budget at the time. He's known as a really strong recruiter. I believe he brought in Goedert as a walk-on for the Jacks. Also, he brought in Galloday at UND as he told me how that happened.

Better than driving the bus off a cliff I guess. Danny would have to have one heck of an acceptance speech to deliver......

At least we still have Massey Rankings??

Agreed. The staffs under Bubba (minus Rudy) have met a minimum threshold of X's and O's to be successful. Our roster has had some right parts in place at various times but never enough in place at one time.

Only Bubba and Massey thought UND was a heavy favorite. I was at 50/50 on this game. Don't start with pick 6, catch a punt, probably a UND W in a close one.

When looking at the Langdon Area pipeline compared to Moorhead that's a toss up......joking of course. The QB situation was short sighted. My inside player sources said Trey was one of the best teammates and hardest workers. He's taller and has a bigger arm than Romfo, much more throwing experience in HS, and from a pipeline of sorts. My view.......we blew it how we handled it. I don't think Jett will consider UND, nor will any player from Moorhead in the near future be looking too far north. But, will Jett be as good as his HS numbers.......probably not. I think we all know what Moorhead will do the next 2 years in the passing game. Big game this evening vrs Alex.

Appears to be a slightly glorified FCS Conference. I didn't realize Thee Kennesaw State was there.
