But the talent levels of schools they are competing against isn’t as high as FBS either. I don’t see the mass exodus in the transfer portal others do just because where are they going to transfer??

SiouxFan100 Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM I always really look forward to UND football every year. This year has been challenging. Hopefully there will a decent team to look forward to next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longtime fan Posted yesterday at 01:52 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:52 AM The best outcome would be if Und wouldn’t have to fire bubba …just transfer him over to the alumni center. They have the money to his salary. There is nobody on planet earth that loves und more. Perfect salesman for und. Create a new position and roll his pay,or portion of what he currently makes to that position. ???? He just can’t remain head coach. Bubba has und fb so far from removed from football relevancy. When looking at a map it’s very noticeable where the fcs power teams are….SD, ND and Montana. Und is in that circle of power. So then why is und never in the talk for a championship when every other single team that surrounds GF absolutely owns the fcs. Why? Constantly watching these “regional “ teams winning it all is beyond frustrating. If they can we can too. How that last extension was approved is mind boggling. The one before that was very questionable as well. Yet, here we are stuck with ….”well we can’t change it now …it is what it is ….only way to make change is pony up”. Most every person on this site, at work, family and neighbors were adamant of their displeasure for bubba ball. Been that way for years. So what is it that we saw for years that Chavez couldn’t see? Now we as fans have to pony up because of a decision made internally that has und fb falling way behind all the other surrounding fcs schools?? Please make it make sense A move needs to happen immediately. Losing the fans and players interest is not the best way to a winning ingredient. Winning cures a lot of problems. Namely recruiting and monetary issues. Recruiting is obvious. Players want to win and winning gets the attention of better recruits. Winning gives you national exposure….TV exposure….etc. For UND and GF ….winning brings in more fans and more fans means more ticket sales, merch, hotels , food...etc. Und CANNOT afford to keep falling behind. We are by far the little brother in the Dakotas and Montana. Und is on the bottom rung locally when it comes to recruiting prospects. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruechte has done a good job considering where Romfo is now compared to one year ago. I can’t name one guy we can’t afford to lose on defense. We used to at least have a couple to a few studs on d every year but not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post iramurphy Posted yesterday at 02:11 AM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 02:11 AM I don’t see Bubba moving to the Alumni office. I don’t see their fundraisers making $250,000 per year and they aren’t going to pay an untested fundraiser more than the people who have been doing a great job fundraising for a number of years. Those people need to be high energy, dynamic personalities that know when and how to “close the deal”. I don’t see that as one of his strengths. Having said that there are some where his personality might be perfect. Lastly, if you have an employee you need to let go, it’s not wise to keep them around. Just my opinion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnDak Posted yesterday at 03:10 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:10 AM Other than Montana, the wins this year made the Hawks look way better than they are. I cannot say I saw one change or adjustment that made any coaches look good. A few passes to Bo and some of the big runs were the highlights of the year. The defense should have been shelved a long time ago. This 4 game skid is going to be hard to overcome the next year or two without big changes.

A 6’4” QB with a cannon arm and two Ben McNaboes were the real off season need. Maybe one other guy too but he’s under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux94 Posted yesterday at 04:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:14 AM Saw this on FB today in a comment on the North Dakota football threads. According to this there were football alumni that highly recommended Chaves not extend Bubba and made their feelings pretty clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago 21 hours ago, UND08 said: I mean...I'm with you on the defense...but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that Simon Romfo will ever be anything more than a middle of the pack MVFC QB that lags behind the upper echelon. Great story...no doubt...but he's had one game all year where I really felt like he was in command (YSU), and his coach trusted him so much that he took him OFF the field for the biggest play of the game. But to your point...there's 348 other deficiencies with this team...Simon doesn't rank in the top 40 of them. So if I'm reading this correctly this team by your estimation has 350 deficiencies and this team's QB play doesn't crack the top 40 in its deficiencies?? #greatstory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago One of the most frustrating things this year is the schedule set up well to have a good season. 7 of the 12 games at home. Host 2 of the 3 other Dakota teams at home. Front load the schedule with Home games to build confidence and play 2 of the toughest home games at the end of the year when we should have been on a roll. We should have been 8-3 going into this weekend with a chance to get a first round bye with a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
