Sioux>Bison

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…..

If only we held our “elite” hockey program to such high standards…….

Funny thing is we are not 6-5 yet…….. still 7 games left before you can !@#$ on this team!

4 games in with a 2-2 record, holy !@#$ our fans are weak. Seriously they have got to be Vikings fans with attitudes like that. Bubba ball has been the Vikings the last 50 years!

But Nebraska can really have any coach they want because they have the tradition and Big Ten $$$$$$, Frost had a pretty good track record at UCF until he went to Nebraska. Who knew he would be a bust.

Didn’t work out for BB so why not experiment with football too! Average funding creates average programs….. or worse!

Great way to pit the program in a bigger hole, that is the complete opposite of what we need to do to help the program!

UND was doing great under Thomas and Lennon until we failed to move up when everyone else did. Our facilities have never been the top compared to our competition. What did they do that Bubba is not?

They need to know how to recruit in our region. We going to change where we recruit?

All those teams hired coaches from the G5. We ain’t getting those coaches at UND. We could try to hire the next up and coming D2 coach but that doesn’t mean success will be guaranteed. They would still need to recruit better talent to UND. Who are they going to out recruit?

We going to fund UND like an elite program? If not then you get what you get!

The face that Siouxfan97’s wife makes when she looks at him after sobering up……. Yup back on the bottle!!!

Who can we bring in to recruit elite talent to GF? What recruits would they have beat other schools out on? I don’t think someone with no connection to the program will end well, but look how coaching went at Nebraska….. and we ain’t Nebraska traditions or $$$$$$

Only if they were in the MWC/CUSA/ MAC Tuesdays / FBS/etc. they are bored with FCS opponents so that’s why they don’t travel to USD or sell out their rivalry game (SDSU) the day it goes on sale. The season is already over for half their fans after their FBS super bowl loss

I blame the hawkeys….. half of them are Bison fans…..
