And it’s since updated. And now other teams that lost have the marker by them. Computer systems need time to replicate data and update interfaces. Quote
Popular Post UND-FB-FAN Posted November 17, 2019 Popular Post Posted November 17, 2019 UND football team gets the win. Perhaps the program got a loss. UND looked poor against a bad team. They don’t look like a playoff team/program. Bubba and his staff are just not passing the eye test this season. Hopefully the next game against SUU goes really, really well. It is sad that I have to “hope” for this and can’t expect a good performance at home versus lowly SUU. 5 Quote
Wilbur Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 What we fans wanted: Team to show we were deserving of the playoffs and leave no doubt going away winning by three scores. What we feared: a close win where we played down to opponent or God forbid a devastating loss..... Playoffs continue next week I guess. But yet another time we made a 2-9 operation look good. I don't understand how you beat Weber in all facets in Utah minus the scoreboard and then pull this at home against UNC. 1 2 Quote

Preparation and coaching or lack thereof they had no timeouts and we throw two incomplete passes that stops the clock, run the ball. Take another minute and a half off the clock some real head scratchers of calls today on a 4th down with a yard to go we run sideways our freshman qb just lost a game when kett had to come out for a play, he hands the ball off, you put boltman in and he can hand the ball off why waste a game played for him just to hand the ball off 1 Quote

Not worried about Fruend. Worried about Schmidt’s defense and Bubba’s game management. This team is handicapped at the upper leadership positions. Bubba, Schmidt, and the players, particularly the defensive players, need to be better. Not a great showing today for UND at all. 1 Quote

After six years of bubba recruiting you would think the personal would be there on the line. It’s pretty apparent Bubba wants to ground and pound to control TOP and yet he has not had a line to work with. Add to that, they were asked to lose a good percentage of the weight this off season. This coaching staff is a joke. Quote

Having 100% attrition is nearly impossible. But if they were able to keep Merz, Grady , Slater .....etc would that been enough to counter anything that we see today? Not sure. But I agree the attrition for whatever reason on the line has been bad. Quote

TBR Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 A win is a win and a win is something to be happy about, but this team did not look like a contender doing a shakedown cruise getting ready for the FCS heavyweights. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Our dline couldn’t get to the qb so we sent more to get to the qb still didn’t get to the qb in order to send more to the qb that meant leaving our dbacks one on one our dbacks got owned one on one because the qb had time to make the pass the base problem was our line got owned on the line Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Can you really blame Bubba calling timeout to reset the defense only to have it ruled a td? I think he should be aware it was a close play and maybe the runner was in. On the flip side if he thought our defense was vulnerable on fourth down they probably would have scored anyway? Quote

CMSioux Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Look at the resumes of the teams between 16-24, they all have bad losses. We finish 7-4 we belong. Quote

Without looking at teams 16-24 resumes.... what does und bring to the table that would be considered playoff worthy? I realize the fcs is weak but there has to be teams that would better represent that post season. Und has struggled mightily with three 2-9 teams. Getting completely blown out in one of them and losing the yardage game in all three. They will have beaten one playoff bound team. Hardly screams “belong” worthy. 1 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 I want us to be good- not just make the playoffs that said we are most probably playoff worthy if only because of the number of teams that make it and we are good enough to be one of those 1 Quote

I had mentioned it before but I feel the fcs should go to a 8 team playoff format. Way too many participating ribbons at a 24 team format. The fbs is only a 4 team. Quote

That's absolutely a terrible idea unless you completely throw out autoqualifiers and figure out something better than a purely subjective closed meeting room as the basis of field selection. Quote
