zonadub Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Not complaining about UND being out of the playoffs... think that is a reality. Wondering what the UND administration will do after the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The contention that UND would be killed by the run of the mill mvfc team is unfounded. UND has only lost 1 game by more than 1 score this year, and that was against a top FBS team. Offense is bad, but the D limits points against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We’re currently #24 in Massey right now if you subtract the Ivy’s. Right behind the Montana’s. ISUr WIU and NIU are in front of us at 5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom doesn’t know anything. Craig Hayley seems to know. He hinted at WIU getting in ahead of us in 2015 and it happened. I’ll be watching what he thinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Dom does a better job following FCS football than 99% of media out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDPritch Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 1 hour ago, zonadub said: Not going to be a popular opinion on this board, but taking off the kelly green glasses... We gotta remember that the MVFC pitches their strength of schedule and a 6 - 5 UNI will get in before a 7 - 4 UND. Heck, even a 6 - 5 WIU gets in before a 7 - 4 UND (history repeats). Plus, Indiana State would be 7 - 4 if they beat Western Illinois next Saturday and would be picked before a 7 - 4 UND. They might be right. The only team UND beat that has a winning record is Montana. The question is... Is 7 - 4 good enough for Kennedy and Chaves? Will there be pressure to make changes before next season? What if UND loses to NAU next Saturday and finishes 6 - 5? That's a winning record, albeit a disappointing season, considering the preseason expectations with the quality of the players on this team. UND's last game of the season will be this Saturday. Was last Saturday the last home game for any of the coaches? No matter what happens next week, it better be Rudy's last week. I'm a UND diehard football fan/supporter but I was close to leaving yesterday's game by mid 3rd quarter, the offensive play calling (I get it, there's injuries, but that don't excuse all of it) was rotten. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury excuse doesn’t work. I went big time a year ago about how I thought the coaching was horrible despite all the injuries, but I was almost banned from this forum cause of that. I was concerned that the backups were still put in poor position in 2017. Fast forward to 2018 and people are still contemplating injuries as the sole reason for this program’s shortcomings. Its obvious the coaches aren’t exactly putting the players in the best position. They fail to scheme properly and especially fail to make timely in-game adjustments. Finally, and possibly most importantly, the “nice guy” conservative philosophy implemented by Bubba(it trickles down from him) will never allow UND to beat aggressive minded teams that also have good players (ie other good teams). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What board are you reading? I'm thinking 95% of us are not blaming things on injuries this year, and 95% of us think Rudy needs to go, Kostich needs to be removed from special teams. Coaching has been by far the main reason for our underperformance this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 When I saw the poor clock management yesterday, following the debacle at Idaho, I was beside myself with frustration. How do you leave 18 seconds on the play clock while driving the ball instead of only a couple? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We snapped with 11 to 18 seconds left on the last two possessions many times. Special teams and clock management need the most improvement. Not Div I material there.

I hope we do play one of them (MVFC team) in the Hawks Nest!!! That means we got by Northern Arizona. I'm sure these seniors want that crack. I have a good feeling about the right bid being in place for that to happen (bison73 said we had our bid in a long long time ago). We would not be a cake walk for that over rated Valley team. Then play the Cow U in the second round, ooohhh, let this happen, even if it's in that sh$th@le?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
