SiouxFan100 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 You have to look at the whole book of work. To the point, one game doesn’t make a season. To beat a good team and lose to everyone else doesn’t mean your program is equal to the good team that you beat. Of course there is some satisfaction in beating a good team!

Willing to bet NDSU and MSU coaches are reviewing their game situation plans (clock, play chart) more than once over the next couple weeks. One man's dead horse is the fundamentals to the guys still playing. Who would have known that is all it takes to win a National Championship.

It’s the details which are the difference between UND’s 2021 5-6 and lining up in Frisco in 3 weeks . 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

UND1983 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 USD is thrilled with the job Bob has done to "get them over the hump and win it all".

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.
