nodak651 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 7 hours ago, siouxfan512 said: Yeah, I don't think I would want this setup every year, but I'll take some UND football any way I can get it this year. Like you said, lots of football yet to watch, and that is definitely a good thing. Especially because the season would have been over by now. Not gonna lie, it feels great, in JANUARY, being able to look forward to football season in only a few weeks! Makes for a much less depressing winter! This past fall however........ ughhhh. Not worth it long term hahah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDColorado Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I hope the big sky decides to play, but if they don't then that's on them. I hope the MVFC takes the lead like the SEC, Big 12 and ACC did because I recall conferences like the Big 10 canceling and hoping everyone follows, only to concede and have a season that started too late in November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Sooo, here we are just over 1 week away from camp (Jan. 22) and just over 5 weeks away from opening game (Feb. 20). The schedule is for 8 games, all MVFC. NCAA bracket is 16 teams, 11 auto-bids, 5 at-large. With all that laid out, what is a successful season this time? Or maybe a better question, assuming we don't win the conference auto-bid, what is it going to take be an at-large team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just now, Dustin said: Pretty tall order. So are we sitting out the postseason? Small field (16 teams, 11 autos, 5 at large) is a high bar. You have to assume it's going to take exceptional performance to get an at-large. Alternatively there's the autobid option: just win the MVFC ... which again requires exceptional performance.

FlinFlan80 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The one positive is how many playoff teams the MVFC lands in the playoffs year in and year out. It's the SEC of the FCS, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux94 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I think 6-2 can still be considered somewhat of a successful season. In a normal year with 3 out of conference games, assume we go 2-1 out of conference, that is an 8-3 record which is pretty good considering we are playing in tough conference. I think a lot of it will also just depend on how we look, and the way games go. I mean do NDSU and SDSU both beat us by 30 points, then yeah 6-2 probably not feeling very good after that. If we go 6-2 with very competitive games and close losses to NDSU and SDSU, that is marked improvement. Although it would be nice to make our mark early in the MVFC and beat one of the SU's.

Wright4UND Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 5-3 would be a solid spring season breaking in a new qb. 6+ wins would be a great start to the MVFC and would set up even more success in the fall season. Need to have good OL play to establish a running game and that will open up the passing game off of the RPO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 44 minutes ago, SiouxFan100 said: I am afraid that being 4 - 4 is optimistic. I would say 4-4 is the break even point. Anything less would be a disappointment. A fifth win would show we are making positive strides, even if 5-3 leaves us out the playoffs. A sixth win could potentially get us in the playoffs, and would go a long way in proving our program is MVFC level. If we get 7 wins (or 8), we should be good enough to make a run to the semi-finals or even championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew you are worth listening to when you started the conversation about offense with "Need to have good OL play." PS - The tweet this week about "full recovery" made us all very happy. Most for the on-field angle. Me? Because publicly thanking his PT rehab team tells me about the player understanding its about more than just him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverhawk Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 An chance that the timing of the Montana schools pulling out of spring football planned to prevent players from transferring? I feel like the teams choosing to play are going to have the upper hand when fall rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
