good news.. I just got the email UND/REA Ticket Office saying my playoff ticket credit will be applied towards my next years bill :).. I had forgot about that dumbass thing where we prepaid for our playoff tickets this year as season ticket holders.

Assuming we'll be on the hook for a playoff ticket next year too so this will just cover that.

I would like to see what the actual butts in the seat numbers were.

Do they count student tickets in attendance even if students don’t claim a ticket.?

[forksandspoons]

Bubba will be back next year and doesn’t seem to be making any changes. Don’t worry, I’m sure there’s a plan to fix the defense through NAIA and D3 transfers! 
 

Beyond frustrated right now. Not sure if I’ll attend a game next year. 
 

Bubba needs to wake up and go get FBS and FCS transfers all over the defense and at QB, or next season is going to be more of the same. I get that you can’t build through the portal, but if you’re bringing in transfers anyway, all of them can’t be from the lower ranks…

Didn’t even fire Joel?

I don't think those decisions have all been made yet.

That would seem to indicate that despite all the poor planning and long term decision making of late, especially regarding personnel, the people in charge at UND have learned nothing and are still not making an effort to be more on top of decision making.

Biding time until NDSU returns to the veer offense.

Just watched the press conference. “We are still evaluating” means to me that there is a chance for some shake up there

Lost Jamal Dixon? Portal?

Reason for bad defense isn't his atrocious 3-4 scheme it's fundamental tackling????

Sounds like CB 2025 is going to be DL 2024 - Lots of minutes available.  I am not sure I am a fan of the Portal lower level route we took last year.  We need to hit on the portal next year because the D needs serious help.  To be honest, every postion group needs some serious help.

Can’t hurt, we even offered a QB 6 years ago or so not inviting him to campus, what was his name….Tommy Schuster. Need to take chances.

Would Belquist be in contention for the Jerry Rice award if the QB had a better arm? Asking for a friend.

[ND-fan]

Belquist not having more completions is result in not having another receiver that could stretch field and get themselves open in the mid range. Second not having couple of tight ends that could become pass option other than in less 10 yards of the line. Finally how many times when we’re on road teams were stacking box just covering Bequist but we were bound to running the football because we determined we are going to run the football even when we’re out numbered at line of scrimmage.

You just listed all reasons that point back to the fact that we started a QB that didn’t know how to throw a football

Not likely as that’s an award for fr.

It’s bad. Which makes you wonder what kind of performance the other two put on in fall camp. Scary stuff.

Chaves probably handed out turkeys and set up meetings for next week.  Maybe a committee or 2 is in the works with one criteria being if a committee member likes a coaches nickname or not.  It's total amateur hour at UND 365 days per year.

[Longtime fan]

When looking at the fcs and the landscape of it.  It’s pretty clear there is perennially four teams that matter.  That has been the case for a decade now.  Most decent teams move up. I have said it many times but they should adopt the fbs playoff system.   Make it a four team or 8 team playoff system. Forget the AQ.  The pioneer league teams are on par with a naia team.  Yet they get a AQ?  Lol.  Useless.  That’s my opinion of course 

Making the playoffs amounts to zero. Und has never advanced themselves in any meaningful matter after making the playoffs. Bubba thinks otherwise .  His goal is to make it to the first round of a watered down system and bow out there.  He then is happy and rewarded .  That kind of mindset is why we are where we are today.  Cannot expect anything outside of 7-5 record.  Rinse and repeat every year. But as long as the gobc is happy that is all that matters at und.
 

The bottom 3/4 of the fcs (100ish teams)teams are essentially d2 quality teams.  Und is included. With bubba  and the quality of recruits und would never win a D2 championship.  Not sure they would sniff the semis actually.    
 

With bubba und will keep falling

"tackle better" - Woof!!

Torching the Moorhead Pipeline didn't take long to show the results of that.

Sounds like anything in Bubba's control isn't changing and we have a weak administration.

[UND1983]

Not one time has Bubba ever ripped himself or staff or players in a Monday presser.  Always deflecting and needing to "prepare" or whatever BS.  Insecurity at it's finest.

In a press conference like this, there has to be something like “I let my guys down and we as a staff have to do a lot better to get to where we want to be. This year proves we have a lot of work to do” Instead it’s “We’ve made the playoffs the last 4 out of 6 years and I’m disappointed for our guys”
