That would suggest UND starts 2-1, and week 2 vs NAU will be a nail bitter. That shouldn’t be acceptable, though. Have you ever pointed this out before?

Winning on the road against an FBS opponent would be more beneficial and impactful to UND football. Grand Forks don’t care if UND beats Northern Arizona. Time to raise expectations higher than 7 wins and a 1st round playoff exit year after year. Ideally, UND starts 3-0, though, of course. Weird post.

Popular Post AJS Posted January 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2023 Keys to any offseason in the Covid (extra year) era. Seniors that have an extra year: UND nailed this. Portal (Exiting): UND nailed this. Portal (Incoming): TBD. I like the three they got but will need to see 3/4 more before the season starts. If this team can nail all three, they will be a considerably better football team next fall. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you. The original poster just pointed out the importance of the game, which is very true. A good team should win by at least a few scores over NAU at home. The key is a 2-0 start is a must. We all agree. What I didn't understand is he saying that a win over Boise is more important to the program than a win over NAU? That's obvious. Is he saying that a win over Boise would be more important than if they lose at home against NAU? I would find that post to be really weird. What kind of point is that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying...but I will say I don't view NAU as a "huge" game. I view it as a game that we should physically dominate at home and win going away. If we lose that's a sign of a much bigger problem in my eyes...it's time to expect to win games like this one going away. On that...I will say that I actually agree with UND-FB-FAN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandbagging against the deflating defeat is less impactful than the upset victory against a name-recognizable school. Both accomplishments are ideal, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA FCS selection committee would be much harsher regarding a loss to a mid-pack BSC school than to an FBS, so I disagree. But yes, 3-0 solves all the concerns.

The game is, what, eight months off and UND-FB-FAN (and you?) has already chalked it in as a loss or a narrow win before we've even seen the new team practice. Then he lectures everyone about having low expectations. Here's to eight more months of his comments along the same lines.
