2023 Football Season

[Nodak78]

UND has a tough schedule.  4 games tell the story.

NAU. USD Must wins

SDSU, NDSU, UNI. Two out of three to get 9-2 for top eight seed. 8-3 for maybe top eight but more than likely top 16.

I have this feeling we beat the Bison but then lose to South Dakota.

UND has come a long ways since Bubba took over. Prior to his arrival the idea of making the playoffs at all was almost non existent.

Blame that on the abysmal hire of 2008 …

Not going DI and losing Lennon to SIU (and becoming more of a “puck school”) plays into that. Failure to set expectations above NDSU has hurt UND football for decades.

The treatment of UND football despite this was god awful in 2000s. Surprised Lennon lasted until 2007, quite frankly …

bison sucked when they had the wrong guys running it...put money into and they got bohl then kleiman.....current guy just doesn't have it down there.......same at und...total airballs on a lot of hires starting with mussy and then short selling us with gap fillers in kotelnicki ( i think he was d coordinator )and or luke when they weren't ready....

then missing the layup with deboer.....

bubba is who he is until proven otherwise....

10 is still young and could improve. 84, 13, and 12 have no business being on a DI roster. They can transfer- give ‘em the green light. 

This just popped up on my screen and I had to question is. 

84 is young so I have no clue what is potential will be. 

But 13 made some nice contributions as a depth player and was 12 a pretty key part of our offense at times?

As we have learned depth is very important, injuries are going to happen. I have no issues with any of these guys being on the roster. You never know who is going to make the play - last year both 13 and 12 made some pretty big plays.

The BSU plan is: roll the dice and maybe get six successive home game wins for $125 ...

Quote

Now, Boise State is ... introducing a new "We Win, You Win" ticket promotion on Monday for its upcoming season.

Fans that purchase a $125 limited-edition ticket to Boise State's home opener against Central Florida on Sept. 9 can earn a complimentary ticket to its next home game against North Dakota – but only if Boise State wins. Whoever attends the next game with the complimentary ticket will receive another one if Boise State is victorious again.

So Boise fans will be getting UCF plus one game for $125.

Our timing sounds about right, per usual. Oh welp, iron sharpens iron, right?

I read somewhere it will be zoom again.  Guessing it will be ESPN+ moving forward.

Rather play them when they’re good (as usual). UND needs to step up, not down. No need to baby the expectations anymore than they already have been. Just win, baby. Will this be a renaissance year for Bubba? I f*cking hope so. 

[sioux24/7]

Anyone hearing anything on new jerseys and/or helmets? Thought it was mentioned possible new green jerseys. Also, feel like gray helmets have long been talked about.

We played three quarter games at Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas Tech, and Nebraska. That's been the on-going DI era pattern.

Let's hope the latest lesson (Nebraska) and a better, deeper roster, and knowledge of this pattern, gets us to playing a four quarter game.

They’ve been close, but close only counts in hand grenades and horse shoes. Just do it. Get the win. Let’s go. No better place than Boise to start it…
