Have been and will forever be.  I’m extremely critical.   I expect wins not a .500 d1 record.  At what point in the d1 era does und expect to win these type of games. I would venture to say 10% thought und had a chance. The winning expectations don’t exist. And for good measure ...  Bubba CAN NOT win a big game. This one was close.  But close doesn’t cut it.   Also, what good would it be to make the playoffs and get embarrassed?  Maybe not even embarrassed just lose.  Und had a seed in “16”.   They had two weeks of healing up and dissecting opposing teams.  Home game with a great crowd. A completely broken Richmond team came to GF after a west coast trip the week before and walked away a victor. Und gained zero from that experience. Actually I would say it’s been a downfall since.  I feel the FCS should go to a 8 team playoff format. The other 16 teams are only there for participating ribbons.   Is there anything here that have I lied about ? Is there anything you would debunk ?

You're right. The program would be way better off and completely benefit from not making the playoffs. Nothing absolutely ridiculous to see here.

Imagine losing by 3 on the road at the number 3 team in the country and then posting this. Woof.

We all live the reality that und football never wins a big game. 10 years running. Some people are frustrated others accept it. The forum gives an outlet to everyone.

I’m never right.  I just need to hear what und has gained from the “16” playoff experience ?

So because of a bad 16' playoff experience, we should hope to not make the playoffs ever again?

Pretty weak mentality here

We had a QB draw called and kett had a first down, so who the hell called the time out?

If the timeout was not called it was a delay of game penalty.  They threw the flag.

Right.  Where do you stand with a bubba led team.

I want the team to play well in the final two games and then make the playoffs. That's what I want.

Great.  So do I.  How about bubba on winning the “big” games?  Has he excelled at that?!

This right here.  I’m at the point I’d rather und not make the playoffs so the embarrassment is kept at a regional sake and not a nation wide publicity.  Deflating  

 

Anyone who spells UND lowercase is hiding something.

You actually dont though. You've already said you don't want them in the playoffs. I'm done with this pointless discussion

Honestly, going into the game did you think UND had a chance?

Number 23 takes on number 3 at number threes home field. 
Number 23 spots number three 14 points. 
Number 23 looses by three points. 
 

I know and feel the heartache but the Sioux showed some stuff today 

Most frustrating was we had a chance to get up by double digits, if we do we win easily.

[CMSioux]

How does the bar keep getting moved on winning "big games" - UND (notice the capital letters used by those that respect the Flagship) has beaten three teams this year that were ranked in the top 24 - those who can't find "big game" wins aren't looking.

Very true

Im sure the last thing you guys want is an opposing team's fan here saying anything but that was a hell of a game. North Dakota had a game plan and they executed very well. A bad bounce is the difference in this one. 

These games between our two schools have been battles, im gonna miss seeing these games on our schedules. Hopefully we can get a series scheduled in the near future.

 

Good luck, win out and lets do this again in the playoffs.

He doesn’t inspire me and there are a litany of issues that should have been fixed by him that haven’t been. That said I want this team to do as well as possible and I am more than fine with them making the playoffs at the risk of getting their asses kicked.

I appreciate the post. It’s nice to see there is some chivalry and class left in this world. We’re a bit more bitter around here. Justified or not.

I count UC Davis, SHSU and MSU as big games they won this year. You don’t?

But we beat them, so they weren't actually any good.
