Kett needs to stop throwing off his back foot. It stated last week and showed up again on several throws today. He doesn’t have a strong enough arm to get away with it. I think he’ll be fine but needs to work on this. 

He had a lot of underthrown passes today including the TD to Wanzek.

Agreed...and the throw to Alex.  We fumbled the next play.

That's because we as a town are extremely tolerant of mediocrity from the football program.  We had Muss for 6 years and Rudy for 5.  We complain about it, but no one seems to have the will to demand something different.  Hopefully Chaves will have the stones Bubba seems to lack.  

Football will never be king in Grand Forks, it's a hockey town first and foremost.  Hell, when was the last time Grand Forks had a decent high school football team?

Here's a recap of the last game Nate Ketteringham played for at Sac State. This is what Sac States own website lists:

Quote

Nate Ketteringham struggled to find his rhythm, completing 9-of-25 passes for 75 yards.

Then the head coach fired his QB coach and went out and signed two QB transfers in the offseason to replace Ketteringham.

Ketteringham was asked by the staff to transfer: 

Quote

Two-year starting junior quarterback Nate Ketteringham was asked to transfer earlier this spring semester and has been granted his release along with the permission to talk to other universities.

Ouch!

Then Bubba says: "Sure 2-9 record Sac State, We'll take your third best QB!"

Yet UND football teams still draws more fans than most of the other Big Sky conference teams do...one of which is Idaho State.

Eastern Washington's stadium only holds 8,500 and they have relatively recent FCS championship under their belt.

Football doesn't need to ever be king at UND to win a FCS National Championship.

[Longtime fan]

-Now that Sammy got blown out of the water ....Unds two wins this year have a combined 1-5 record.  Mvsu is rated last in fcs. Und had its struggles against mvsu as shown in the fact that they kept their starters in all game  

-no way in hell does a good team lose to Idaho st at home for their homecoming........und is currently not good 

- sick and tired of being below average.  

-$&@#^%!!

UND goes FBS when NDSU does.  Pretty simple. 

A couple of years ago, FBS North Texas got absolutely pummeled by Portland St.  Now they still are unbeaten, with a beat down win against Arkansas.

Nicholls St beat Sam Houston by 20.  Sammy was not at all deserving of a #5 ranking but just was ranked on precedence.  Idaho St had a much better defense than I was expecting.

Are comparing North Texas against NDSU and UND? Enrollment at UNT is 38,000. So,  North Texas is a lot bigger school than any of the Dakota Schools. Swing and a miss.

That might be true, but you and NDSU are the only (and top) tickets in that entire horrible state.

Cool Story Bro.

Thanks. It feels awesome to be top dog in the state. UNC could have been too if its wasn't such a sh!ty school. And UNC's in state competition did everything they could for the longest time to suck balls too.

I think of it more locally, recruiting becomes more difficult with our neighbor school having so much success.  It is also more difficult to sell athletes on UND when that same neighbor school is clearly a football first school while UND is clearly a hockey first school.  The athletes do get treated differently.  

It isn't students filling the stadium for UND games, most other schools the students are big portion of the draw.

UND can win a national title but it will take depth and some pretty big talent development.  We are a ways off right now, although we have a few bright spots on the field like Mason Bennett.

[UND1983]

UNC is excited that they didn't lose by 40 tonight.  Earnest is doing big things.

Well now we're changing it from top dog sport at UND to "NDSU is a good football school."

No doubt its hard to compete with a local FCS football team that has been the most dominant FCS/AA team in history...by Far!

No other team in the country seems to be able to win a Natty right now until someone blows up NDSU.

UND already won a football championship when it was still a hockey first school. This argument then doesn't hold any water simply because its now FCS.

UND student attendance at football games is in the top half of all FCS games. I think you're overestimating FCS schools.

Did you watch the Sam Houston State game? Empty stadium with only 5,000 people. And that is with back to back national semi final game appearances.

UND has some of the nicest FCS facilities in the country in the indoor practice facility and the Alerus complex.

Along with some of the highest attended FCS games in the country. 26th nationally last year.

(If UND averaged 11,500...tonights attendance.... They would be Top 20 in attendance.)

Like I said, Keaton wanted to win no matter that was going on, yes he was not the best “D1” qb but that guy wanted to win us games. I didn’t see that today

The "it" factor was contagious when Keaton was on the field.

Still the only UND QB to lead a win over an FBS team and then followed that up by having the best year in UND FCS history: 8-0 Big Sky record and playoffs.

[LeaveNoDoubt]

Yup! You can’t teach or recruit or transfer and “it” guy.

The problem I have is the double standard, Schmidt gets a pass for everything and it is the exact opposite for Rudy.  I get taking chances but that call in the that situation was just stupid and it is the reason ISU scored.  

Schmidt should not get a pass. It was a simple adjustment to make and it took til halftime? That doesn’t make sense. That’s two games in a row where the 360 guys had the adjustment figured out before our DC. Either he is too prideful when his game plan isn’t working or is just plain slow. Neither is good obviously.

[LeaveNoDoubt]

So that’s what a D1 program is gonna do. Be “ok” with what we out on the field...it’s a big boy job world, if you can’t do it you loose it

But you’re far from being the very top in the worst state in the Union.  UNC is behind in CSU, CU, and Air Force, all within 2 hours.  But UNC is in the greatest state in America.  Your loss.

I wouldn't be bragging about being behind CSU, CU, and Air Force.

But thanks for proving my point.

North Dakota is the worst state in America, and Colorado is the best.  That’s the point.

My take of the game:

No run defense

Passing D looked soft

Why doesn’t Santiago run the ball more and lose the QB draws.

Bad passes, either too high or right into coverage.

Alerus needs to lose the music in between plays, too damn loud, can’t be good inside the huddle. Rudolph needs be gone as of today and have someone else or even Bubba call the plays. If UND goes 3-8 or 4-7 heads need to start rolling, this game was embarrassing.
