ND-fan Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I think this is becoming norm here on the site we have several people bitching all the time it’s never anything positive but complaints. I don’t think people realize how fortunate we have quality football program here I look at some other schools who go for broke and they have little bit of success then fall flat and end up with years of loosing. We have quality program with quality student athletes and we’re close to moving to the top of the division but I believe reason it hasn’t been good enough because of success of our chief rival and success they have had. They reason all difference is coaching but it’s more than that it resources, location like city for attracting athletes, gaining a reputation of success, media coverage locally and nationally, and finally getting one or two players that pushes you over the top to have that winning season. So far we have been moving forward on some of those fronts but regionally we’re known as hockey school and not a football school. This is not the case with our regional rivals their known as football schools until we have long term success at football any move we make needs to be made with understanding if we have regression just puts us back to beginning of winning fans over and be also as football school. 3 4 Quote

UND has won 54% of its games with Bubba as head coach. I think there is good reason people aren’t satisfied with that. It’s not good enough. But, what is good enough? 60%? 70%? Regional rivals known as “football schools” - well what does it take for UND to become a “football school” … start flying a banner … or perhaps win more than 54% of the games played… Also, to avoid the regression you talk about - and to be more consistent - it is critical to have solid coaching/leadership. There has been so many ups and downs it definitely falls on the coaches to a certain degree. 9-3 in 2016, then 3-8 in 2017, then 5-2 in spring season, then 5-6 in 2021. 7-5 in 2022. Such a rollercoaster of inconsistency… 2 Quote

northernraider Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Brady is certainly one of the best products UND football has produced and just a class all the way. Great to see him succeed after that terrible rookie year injury. 1 Quote

Sioux94 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 With his success in the CFL, do you think he might try to see if he can make an NFL roster sometime? Quote

He's actually going to be at the Alerus tomorrow, along with Evan Holm and Rasheed Bailey. They'll be doing autographs out in the tailgate. https://x.com/UNDfootball/status/1712899784036528633?s=20 4 Quote

Dustin Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Everything was set up in miles (and yards) long before the switch to metric, so some things just stick around. Quote
