nodak651 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 1 hour ago, shep said: If I don't have to pay for ESPN+ I'd be happy. I only watch UND football on it. Last year Midco also streamed broadcast and streamed an away game or two that wasn't available on ESPN+ (a seperate UND specific broadcast). I think it was either the Youngstown or Indiana State game. Would be worth to you for sure. Biggest issue will be the UNI game on ESPN3, which is exclusive to ESPN because it's the MVFC "game of the week". ESPN will have exclusivity for that game. MVFC has the worst ever "TV" contract. This is supposed to be the last season of the existing MVFC/ESPN "TV" deal. Hopefully a new one is renegotiated before the season starts. Could potentially be why none of the teams in the MVFC are showing ESPN+ listings on their schedules yet, but then again, that wouldn't explain why the game of the week is showing up for the UNI game. MVFC was on a podcast with Chaves over the winter and she said they were working with Leona to renegotiate the deal with ESPN. Probably talking about for next year, but maybe things change before the last scheduled season of the contract.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

108498 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Do football games, volleyball and basketball games still stream on UND Insider? You used to be able to purchase a year prescription to watch all home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANY improvement from the defense will strengthen that claim. Completely agree. This season for me comes down to two things (1) Schuster staying healthy. (2) Defensive improvement. I believe UND would finish 6-5 if we don't see any improvement defensively. Good news is it's hard for me to believe they could be any worse. Also, UND does have a track record of fixing what has been broken the previous year. Fix the defense and this team has an incredibly high ceiling.

I go back and forth with my defensive concern. This might seem obvious, but let's give the coaching staff enough credit and self-awareness that following the year they know their strengths and weaknesses. After Spring Ball, from 360 to this board, the talker has been (1) RB Depth (2) OLB (3) Safety play. Since then, what we witnessed was offers trying to secure a RB and one Safety offer. What I've concluded is the Coaching staff based on moves we've seen, is potentially the D-Line play was the biggest concern. They hit that position hard for transfers. D-Line play, simplifying the defensive scheme (which has been talked about) and they must feel they have the talent to greatly improve. *I did talk about this in my previous post, but during Bubba's tenure, they have been good at fixing the holes from the previous year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fix one hole and another appears the following year. Why do I feel this season could be different? I cannot remember a positional group that was as effective the year previously, that brings back so much as the Offense does this year. The offense just needs to stay the course, which there's no reason to believe they won't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last couple seasons Tom Dosch had a unique perspective: former coach, now in the radio booth, likely had been given insights to strategy and tactics for each game. He better than most would know what the plan was and what was and was not working. And he should have the vision to know why. He'd go on radio rants on things at times because he could understand what was happening. I think he'll be remembered as a very key addition to the staff to help develop the new DC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 For all of you degenerates reading a football message board during the work day, mid summer, check out this video. This guy doesn't get enough credit for his coverage of FCS football at the national level. Nearly an hour and a half of general FCS football talk. Haven't finished it yet and I haven't heard him discuss UND yet, so I am reserving the right to edit this post and bash him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
