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. Pot shots? That's pure gold right there considering I and my family were at the FB game.........and the VB match before it..........and the hockey game after it. There were 11900 at the Ralph last night for an early season conference game. The excuses from beet harvest to gun season to _______ are tiresome. This FB tean deserves better support, especially yesterday, regardless of all the excuses and enabling by you and others. If expecting fans to show up in the same numbers at this stage for a FB team playing for a conference title and a hockey team looking for a just win in the past 3 weeks is too much to expect so be it. This attitude of yours and others will probably cost UND a home playoff game if they are not a top 8 seed IMO. That would be a real shame. 1 Quote

Sioux95 Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Reed played a great game yesterday. I think we need to see him on the field as much as possible! 2 Quote
Cratter Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 It's going to be a long three weeks til UND plays again. Quote

I'd much prefer he continue to field punts even when Seibel comes back. Was nice to a senior that doesn't get much playing time, be so pivotal on Senior Day. 3 Quote

Just curious, do you think your negative comments on here about attendance are actually helping anything? Do you think there are people on this site that didn't go to the game, who read your post and said to themselves......"ahhh damn Oxbow is right, I should have been at the game I guess I'm going to start going now". That's awesome that you were at the game and the hockey game and are a great supporter, we need more people like you but if you somehow think you are heroic by complaining on here about it, you're not. We would all like more people at the game, but constantly whining about it on a blog doesn't change anything. 6 2 Quote

I sit right next to someone with very close immediate ties to this program and he was very disappointed with attendance yesterday...and it's not the first time he has expressed his opinion towards that. Hopefully if and when UND hosts a playoff game this team can get the support they deserve. Is that negative enough for you? I can be less of an advocate for the attendance this team should be getting if that makes you happy. Guys like you and UNDBIZ probably would like that. Oh and to your last point neither does rioting about the results of an election......... 1 1 Quote
shep Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 I appreciate your passion for this topic, but I don't know that there's much we on this message board can do assuming most of us have tix and attend games. I would love to see more there, but having reflected on yesterday's comeback, I was thrilled with the noise in the Alerus yesterday in the 4th quarter. Maybe the fans we have are passionate enough to make up for a couple of thousand who weren't there. 2 Quote

Totally agree with you there, kinda helps make my point actually. I hope the team gets the support they deserve too should we get to host a playoff game. Quote

Rock Chalk Fighting Hawk Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 One thing I think the Alerus can do to make the game experience better for the fans is to show more replays on the big screen. Including replays from plays that are being reviewed. A lot of people around me were frustrated that they couldn't see what the refs were reviewing. 3 Quote
shep Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 I'm curious if they CAN show the replay being reviewed as I don't think they ever have. 1 Quote

I usually miss relays since I don't look at the board that often but I heard a ton of complaints from people around me about replays. Quote

I think more experiences like this will help us get the next 2000/ game. Hopefully for the playoffs if we get a home game. 2 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 If they can't show replays of plays under review, can they at least show controversial plays? For example, the Wanzek offensive PI was never shown. 1 Quote

For sure- the ladies in our crew at the football game basically said the same thing......which I responded, "duh". 1 Quote

It seems to me that students are the one group that's not very well represented. Curious the difference between hockey and football student attendance. Quote

CMSioux Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 While I didn't like the call I'm amazed at how many rules a referee needs to know and be able to apply in a split second. Quote

I didn't think he was trying to flip it but got juggled and just lost it. Btw, where can I see a replay of the game? Quote
