It's pretty common for players to announce offers even after they commit! I wouldn't worry about him leaving.

It would be wise to not underestimate Mama Sue’s knowledge of the game. Not saying what I suspect, just saying.

Heads tend to spin trying to keep track of everyone’s “knowledge of the game” on here.
 

It all comes back to we all want UND football to do well. If you enjoy 7 wins, 4 inexplicable losses, and an early playoff exit, then thus far, you probably absolutely adore UND football and good ol’ Bubba ball. Oh, and also routinely watching NDSU roll in the playoffs despite frequent coaching changes and high NFL draft departures on a regular basis.

 

How do we potentially change the above narrative?  Well, wait decade by decade, and make no staffing changes, because if you want anything to occur sooner, you’re asking for instant gratification, you’re too young, too inexperienced, too non – Midwestern to know how things work.

Can't understand how or why someone can spend some much time and negative energy on something that they clearly don't enjoy. Just me though.

I assume you actually can't feel as negative as you come off here but the repetitiveness of the same criticisms over and over again while comparatively offering minimal positive outlooks is grinding. In the end, we all want to see better results.

I will admit I know very little about almost everything.

 

......but I can tell borderline incompetence and the ground swell of duckies and bunnies on all levels when I see it.

***I'm not making excuses for the coaching staff or anything.  This comparison just crossed my mind.. mean nothing more by it.***

UND FB and Omaha hockey are a lot alike, imo.  They have a ton of potential, quality facilities, a pretty good fanbase, but both programs have established national powers within their own conference.  That's not easy to overcome.

Except we've already done it before.

That occurred to me and I couldn't think of a better comparison.  I then thought that UND moving up to the FCS recently, and after NDSU and SDSU, was similar to how UNO is still a relatively new program.  UND's championship was also in a lower level..  Maybe Maine would be  better?

You‘re mistaken; I clearly enjoy UND football, but that doesn’t mean I agree with the current direction or how it is managed. 
 

We all want better results, that much I agree with. How we get there certainly seems to differ.

Because they are not who they want us to believe they are.

How many times must this be said before it sinks in.  Some folks that post here think they've found a clever way to sabotage the program.  And a lot of folks on here just add fuel to the fire.

Rumor is Baukol has been fired. Don’t think this will help us get stops on third down but you always need a scapegoat I guess. 

When did he start at und?

17years, 21 years total at UND. If rumor is true. With having injuries deplete depth is the possible reason why or lack of size/muscle or speed……I am not a strength coach guy, so I do not know how much impact he would have on the in-season and out of season training.

Not sure it belongs here, but Shannon is done with the 360 guys.

[F'n Hawks]

Shannon no longer doing 360. Should I not read too far into this?

Dang, I will miss him on there. Sure Kelly maybe couldn't always say what he wanted too, but I always liked Shannon on the show and the History he brought with his quizzes etc..

IMO one of those situations where Shannon voluntarily put in a lot of time in content development but with the history and research the rest of the team is able to do (especially KellY) there might be less window dressings but the content should continue to be solid.

Would be a start. Leftover from Mussman era. UND players consistently not looking that “type” compared to xDSU’s players and development will be even more key with transfer portal (FBS programs keep plucking FCS players). Also, prevent injuries, prevent injuries, prevent injuries.

Addition by subtraction, in terms of the podcast. Shannon, like his brother, is a really nice guy; but you can’t have an honest podcast when it’s co-hosted by the inept head coach’s brother.
