There was a big dumpster sitting behind the porta potties. I couldn't tell for sure but it wasn't overflowing. Its the same reason so many students either didn't make it into the game or left at halftime. The problem is serious and not unique to UND. Quote

A NCCA MBB tournament berth for a game is a fleeting blip on the national radar. The SiouxSports.com Spelling Committee gives you bonus points for not using "birth" in this instance. #NextUpThey'reTheirThere 5 Quote

What needs to be done to make it better? it's easy to sit here and b!tch about UND football. I have yet to see any suggestions of what needs to be done to move the program to the next level. Some are suggesting firing a coach or six, but that isn't going to do much if the administration doesn't spend the money to make improvements. Yes, finishing phase II would help. Oh, if UND administration can find a way to spend money, they will. I can hear it now in 2037 when Coach Bubba is running things from Shady Acres Retirement Home: "If only we had Phase XXIV up and running, we could compete with NDSU!" 2 Quote

No, but we aren't Nebraska football and don't have comparable football history. It is a problem with society today, everyone wants to win now and it doesn't usually happen that way. I think Frost is a good coach and hope they give him at least 3 or 4 years to prove it. I think talk of firing coaches at this stage of the season is an overreaction. If UND plays poorly and loses a couple more games in the next 3 to 4 weeks you start talking about changes and I would hope that if the choose to let people go they take a hard look at the entire staff and not just one or two guys.

BigGame Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 2 hours ago, geaux_sioux said: The reason NDSU is better than us is they keep hiring really good coaches. Since I think Mudra back in the 60s built their program from nothing they have kinda kept with his blueprint and kept hiring good coaches for the most part with only a hiccup here or there along the way. I don't think you are referring to Rocky but he had success at NDSU but after he got canned couldn't win other places. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Bohl has turned WYO into a bowl team with a winning record at least. Pretty big improvement from what they were. Quote

That’s why I said generally. Yes, I was just giving one example but MN isn't an easy football job either. Better than Wyoming but still a very tough place to win consistently. Some places are easier to recruit and easier to create a winner and that is why some FBS coaches leave what appears to be a good situation for another job. Quote

National stage??? How does one achieve that in FCS? In the big picture of CFB even NDSU isn't on the national stage. That is why I think Kennedy and Chaves will pursue FBS with regional flagships, but your buddies MafiaMan and Goon will be opposed to every FBS step. Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 5 hours ago, Midwestern Hawk said: I love UND hockey, but college hockey is NEVER on a national stage. If one ventures very out of MN, WI, MI, ND and Boston, college hockey is all but invisible. If UND is trying to raise its profile throughout the US or even the midwest, its wll only happen through football or basketball. Don't say this too often or too loud; you might get the irrational isolationists of North Dakota angry at you. 1 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 8 hours ago, BigGame said: I would like to you to answer a question for me. Let's pretend UND and NDSU both finished the last five football seasons with 500 records and they go up against each other for a football recruit. If the athlete views academics, coaching, and facilities as equal. Other individual factors are always part of the equation but lets pretend those are not in play here. Who gets the athlete most of the time? What the hell kind of a hypothetical scenario is this? So you're eliminating record, academics, coaching, and facilities ... I guess I would say tradition and location would be the next in line then; still plenty to offer from both school in that case. Quote
