It was really good to see this team play well with high stakes on the line and never giving up after being down. If this team plays like they did overall today the playoffs will be fun to watch ! They will need to play better than today but I have much more confidence in our passing game after today. Mercur is developing into a big play wideout and the two freshmen just battle. Next wrinkle to this offense is TE seam and/or #22 in the slot with #5 in the backfield. If they would have done that today it would have been Madden offense down the seam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundy1124 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Man, this thread was hilarious to read. I hope everyone is safe, no tall buildings to jump off into the 3rd quarter. NAU was picked to win the BSC cause they are frick'n talented, their coaching staff is top notch, and schematically their offense is hard to play against. Their system throws the best timing routes in the league. The QB throws an out and their WR isn't even in his break. Their o-line was legit, really good, only 4 sacks on the year. NAU defense watched a lot of film, they were well prepared. The only weakness NAU had was their secondary and even though that isn't our strength, WR, we really started executing. What a gritty win!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping Weber can sneak into the playoffs with a win over ISU next weekend and maybe we can have a rematch. But it's most likely not gonna happen. I'd be surprised if Weber made the playoffs now. Weber has a legit shot at the playoffs if they win next week. BSC should get as many teams as any other conference except maybe the CAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had tix a couple weeks ago on the other side and actually tweeted that the sound was way too loud on that side. So it's only on UND's side I guess. WAY too loud. My ears are still ringing.

Wish they would've shown the Gatorade dump on Bubba. This is so great, so huge, so terrific, or any other superlative Trump may have put on this game!! Go Hawks!!!!!

siouxfan512 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Espn list attendance at 9049. is that right? if so, it's pretty disappointing . should have hit 10 for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longtime fan Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Post game thoughts: big sky champs!! 8-0!!!!! refs were absolutely terrible The offense needs for UND to receive a seed....really beat up UND is a much better 2nd half team.....every game this year brady needed to have at least 25+carries yesterday NAU is a very good team the crowd finally woke up in the 4th and it made a difference no sacks for the d but won the TO margin which was huge!! 9 game win streak!!!! Big Sky champs!!!! It has been a long time that UND has been relevant and the feeling of high fiving the players after the game......chilling ! Well done bubba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Reed brought energy yesterday when we needed a spark. It was on his reception with a couple broken tackles. He has been fun to watch this year and am glad to see his role expanding.

We are going to need to turnover battle today and hit some timely passes in order to pull this one out. Defense needs to make some adjustments.

I get what you're saying but when the bar is on the ground it's pretty easy to step over it. Biggest game in UND's brief D1 era with a conference title on the line and the team couldn't get at a minimum of 10k to show up? By comparison NDSU had twice.....TWICE as many fans at the Dome yesterday. Take that in.......18276 compared to 9049. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successful teams have a pretty large fan base. Three years ago I was letting my five year old nephew take my three year old son to the bathroom at the Alerus at this point in the season because if they got lost, I would have heard them yell. Im not happy with attendance but also keep things in perspective when comparing to the most successful program currently in FCS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the first half got worse pretty much everybody including coaches, players, and fans sucked. Nobody was doing their job. Then the big comeback in the 2nd half and UND was once again the gutty, gritty, leave no doubt bunch. A very entertaining read, and congrats to the team on their conference title!

By comparison NDSU had twice.....TWICE as many fans at the Dome yesterday. Take that in.......18276 compared to 9049. I think your expectations are way off. Tom Miller said on the radio UND has never had over 10k for a November game ever. My guess is yesterday was one of the best non NDSU regular season post deer opener crowds ever if not the highest. So you can either piss and mown at not having 12k or you can see the best non NDSU November crowd ever with a 30% increase over last years last game. To me those are some pretty big positive steps Bubba is making on the preception of UND Football. He is well on his way to making UND football games an event and the "thing to do." Takes time and you don't just snap your fingers and get 12k at games in November when it hasn't been done before. Take a chill pill and see the HUGE positive steps Bubba is making here. Your pot shots are about as bad as Kolprick and Dizzo when they talk UND. Can't get a positive UND comment in without some side negative comment or pot shot. Kolprick is more worried about our "ugly grey pants," than giving any positive thoughts to an undefeated FCS big sky team in his coverage area. Crowd was great yesterday and we won the big sky. I don't see any reason for a UND fan to be negative today. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
