Popular Post iramurphy Posted July 22 Popular Post Share Posted July 22 5 hours ago, SIOUXFAN97 said: this post is a recipe for a 3 win season............ after 10 years at the helm we should be expecting to win this damn game not who can play in garbage time. whoever bubba starts at qb should start and finish this game to get ready for the next game and the next game My response to the question isn’t a recipe for anything. I wasn’t referring to garbage time. I believe we have 3 capable QB’s, 2 of whom are in a tight race to be a starter. I don’t know how good we will be cuz we lost a lot of key players esp OL. I also don’t know how good Iowa State is. I’m hoping we can win but until I see results, I will remain hopeful but realistic. (If you have inside information on vast improvement from last year, I defer to your expertise). If you have 2 QB’s who are in a virtual dead heat to be the starter, you need to figure out who the starter is as early in the season as possible. If whomever you start, plays well and the team is winning, you would stick with him. Otherwise, if he struggles and the team isn’t successful, you would be stupid not to make a change. You also need to get these guys game experience early in the season whenever you have an opportunity until you decide who your stater will be. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Preseason ratings and who those teams don't play. 3. USD (Missouri State / ISU-R) 4. SIU (UND / UNI) 5. UND (SIU / Missouri State) 6. ISU-R (SDSU / USD) 7. YSU (NDSU / Murray State) 8. UNI (SIU / Murray State) With this unbalanced schedule, who you play matters. Based on preseason rankings, ISU-R has by far the best "misses" with the #1 / #3 rated teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 UND projected to regress, from third place in the conference to fifth. A lot of proving to do for incumbent Bubba, but the seat never seems to warm for football coaches in Grand Forks and UND, or so it appears. UND football coaching compensation remains behind peer institutions, and you ultimately put your money where your mouth is. Would be surprised if the team is very good or very bad, as we’ve been conditioned to expect ongoing UND football mediocrity (6 to 7 wins and early playoff exit) at this point. X’s and O’s may change with new offensive coordinator. Players may improve in short term with new strength and conditioning coach and in long term with new facilities. Only time will tell I guess … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But continue to find a way to put a negative spin on everything. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux24/7 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Has anyone heard if Zavalney is making a return? I believe Kostich hinted at it in an interview before. Also, anyone have any insight on new jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why one would go to bat over third place in the conference, seems petty and of low expectations, but you do you. There are some reasons to be excited, and still plenty of reasons to also be concerned. I’ll continue with the moderate approach despite your sentiments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't state that 3rd or 5th or anything was good, bad or indifferent. Specifically pointed out the fact that there were 6 teams in the top 3 spots in the standings last year so being picked 5th (which again, means nothing) would have had them landing exactly where they did last year and it isn't a catastrophic fall off a cliff like some others tried sell a pointless prediction as. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
