Does playing a team close or even beating another team in a single game actually indicate how close those two programs are? Is NDSU a better program than the FBS teams it beat on any given year? Was USD close to NDSU in 2015 when they beat the Bison(who eventually won the national championship) Clearly this comment is annoying and self serving, as a fan of NDSU, but I think it’s a pertinent question to ask and brought up to further the discussion. I’d say Iowa was clearly better than NDSU and USD was clearly better than NDSU

Our details stink. At MSU all we had to do was take the play clock down to a couple of seconds before each snap after going up 28-17 and we win despite both of the 4th qtr fumbles. It’s sad because Bubba was good enough to assemble the team and get us to the threshold, just couldn’t cross it. Bubba is a great ambassador for UND but the chances are slim he gets it done next fall. And that ladies and gentleman is your daily Bubba Bash. Join us tomorrow for another Bubba Bash, perhaps in the Transfer Portal thread. 3

Join us tomorrow for another Bubba Bash, perhaps in the Transfer Portal thread. And your point is? a. Everyone is wrong - Bubba did a great job of game prep and coaching this year - don't believe your lying eyes b. Ok, Bubba did a poor job - but he is very flexible and open to input - he'll have things changed by next year for sure c. I know Bubba did a crappy coaching job this year and probably won't change but I don't want to talk about it any more and I don't want to hear about it from anyone else on this fan board either.
Mama Sue Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Irish is right….we need to move on… myself included! if my math is correct without my morning coffee… 256 days until Sept. 3 at Nebraska. Go UND!
shep Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Mama Sue I wish Irish's point was to move on. It is NOT 1

Only for a few hours on a single Saturday did they belong on the field with NDSU. That’s why they play the games as they say.
UND1983 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 USD is thrilled with the job Bob has done to "get them over the hump and win it all". About as thrilled as Delaware is with Danny Rocco after plucking him from Richmond to get them to the promised land.

My point was not about the guy that got them over the hump; my point was sometimes a guy needs to realize he's not going to get a team over the hump and step down (see: Paul Maurice).

Danny Rocco was damaged goods when he arrived to Delaware. @GreenWing and I broke his psyche his last game at Richmond yelling unspeakable things to him during the warmup.

Had a couple of 3rd down passes dropped the would have kept drives moving, and he didn’t have his best receiver. Not sure what this comment says about UND QB’s, because Miller’s combo or throwing and being able to run if he has to makes him much better than either F’N Hawk QB. "pretty good"....that says it all

SIOUXFAN97 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 why does ESPN call the Heritage Bowl (jackson state and someone else last weekend) a FCS playoff game?

You forgot option D: I know Bubba did a crappy coaching job at times this year and probably won't change, but I realize we won't be buying out his contract. I will still bring up his game management and mistakes on occassion because it is a legit issue, but I won't post about it on a daily basis, in specific detail, about each poor game management decision (EVEN if somebody else remotely mentions something related to it like other coaches making bad decisions or poor game management choices) 2

Mama Sue Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 The NCAA has announced plans for the JuiceU and Montana game in Texas if COVID. limits the numbers of eligible players for either team… If one or both teams fall below the number before arriving then the game will be 1/14. If both teams get to TX and one or both fall below the number of eligible players and choose not to play (who would do that?), the game would be declared a no contest. If only one team was unavailable, the available team would be declared the winner. If both teams are unavailable, the title would be vacated. What a mess? I hope Montana has enough players!
