Which top 10 FCS program has worse facilities than UND? Maybe some top 25…

It sure would be nice to find the next DaBoer. No doubting what he accomplished. I just don’t think most guys could succeed like he did given the same situation. For example: Matt Entz or even Tyler Roehl. Both on NDSU fans !@#$ list right now

Never said UND is not an elite program but they sure haven’t been winning like an elite program. Hockey has no excuses for not making the frozen four more often and bringing home national championships. I would take zero draft picks if I could have another national championship. I’m tired of these other moral victories that we try to hang our hat on.

So Entz and Cam at UND would win a national title?…… yup ok

Me too

I am critical of the hockey program because I am tired of them under performing with the top resources and facilities in the country. 1 title in over 2 decades is frustrating to say the least. I could care less what happens in the regular season, I (We) want national championships!!! Why should I be ok with less? why would I hold the football team to the same high standard when they have a fraction of the support (fans and $$$$) as the hockey team. I am just as disappointed when the football team has a losing season and misses the playoffs, I just don’t expect them to win it all with what they have. I would love to see football titles one day and get that program to the level of hockey. Yes maybe a coaching change would help , but I don’t think that is the only solution it will take. I also realize making a change right now won’t happen with contracts so why not make dues with what we have and continue to cheer on our football team win or lose. I sure as hell am jealous of what NDSU has done over the past decade and we should all strive for what they have accomplished because none of our programs are at that dynasty level…. Tough pill for many of you to swallow and hear I know.

Why would that eat at me when I am one of those 15k???? I have probably been to more road hockey games than to games in GF for the last few years. Heck I’ve been to more hockey games than football too. I can be critical of all teams and still support ALL of them. bragging about 15k UND hockey fans to UND fans is pretty pathetic……. All while Ag U fans laugh at all of us when they fill US Bank stadium with 40k+ fans……..

Barry and the Boyz gonna win this Vegas game or lay an egg against another inferior opponent????? Good thing the jersey looks cool otherwise a reminder of a bad loss on the shoulder would be hard to forget about……

So a hockey fan came on a football thread for the first time this season to tear down Bubba and the FB program. That sure is interesting that these are you first comments……. you are part of the problem!

Easy to pick out the biggest winner in a sea of losers!!!!

Honestly I could care less about the Penrose banners!!! I’d trade all of them for just one national championship. If you think winning Penrose cups makes you elite then I guess you don’t expect them to win it all! Is 12 drafted players that good? What was it under Hak? You are honestly starting to sound like a womens hockey program closet supporter!!!! But but but Olympians!!!!!

If Bubba had the elite resources that Ag U has then he could probably win one title every 9 years too. Ag U still wins titles even with the worst coach they have had since before Bohl……

Yeah they should have just put Sioux on it for a one off jersey!

How about we start a list of D1 hires? There have to be some good OC and DC that we can pay more than they make now! I’m not sure a D2 hire will cut it.

Yes that’s a good resume, short but still good.

Let’s not try to imply that this is the football fans fault! We have two crowds: 1. Hockey only 2. All Sport UND fans. Only one of those groups is good for the university as a whole! All the programs at UND should support and compliment each other. A narrow minded focus on one program is not good for UND as a whole, which is why UND is in a hole when it comes to our athletic department!

You can donate directly to HPC phase 2, but you refuse to because Bubba can’t win? I honestly question how much you care about the program because I wouldn’t withhold donations to a FB facility because of the current coaching staff. The one thing you and the hockey only crowd have in common is you both LOVE to trash the current football team. That hurts the university and does nothing to help it but foster more negativity about the program. My dedication to the university comes first no matter who is coaching or what team it is . UND is #1 to me. I hope to be in your position one day once I pay off my own student loans and put my own kids through college. I can tell you the first check I would write if I ever won the lottery!

Who knew it was Bubba and his staff are the reason we can’t get phase 2 funded???? For someone who sees the hockey program as a detriment to the funding/support of the football program you sure are just as spiteful as the hockey only crowd! If you care as much about the program I really don’t see why you would hold back your donations you know that phase 2 will help whoever the coach is at UND next, withholding donations is setting the program back just as much as bad coaching. Maybe at your lunch with Chaves tell him you will write a check as soon as he fires Bubba!!!

So the D2 coaches couldn’t figure out how to recruit D1 talent? And that includes Lennon at SIU. But some on this board want to give some D2 coach a shot at doing it at UND? Maybe we should be looking at some D1 coordinators for a replacement!

Yeah those D2 coaches are going to be a draw to get kids to GF! Eli Belquist posted on Twitter the other day how proud he was to be a part of the UND family. You don’t post like that if you don’t mean it. I trust his opinion more than anyone on this board!

I like how simple you think it would be to recruit better talent by just replacing the coaching staff……. It’s not that easy. I think we have been getting better recruits in recent years including some good QB commits. Last years team was good enough to win some playoff games but they choked. The spring season was also a very good squad that could have made it deeper if we didn’t get matched up with JMU in the quarters.

Playing indoors does not recruit FBS transfers to GF. These kids don’t want to live in this bitter cold everyday!

I don’t know that was a bad loss. SIU gave us more problems upfront on both sides of the ball that no one else has so far. SIU will be one of the top MVFC teams this year. They could win all of their conference games.

They had a ton of FBS transfers on their defense. Why could they recruit them and not us? Bubba or bitterly cold GF?

They are more beatable this year than ever. Funny thing is we could be 5-6 year but with a NDSU win all will actually be forgiven…..
