How much time have we given you there so far I believe five years enough for his recruits one Cycle

I like the look of the team now though. He got screwed by the portal over and over early.

5-1 best start in the D1 era along with 4 non-con D1 wins which is the most they’ve had too. Transfer portal was a killer.

Much much better so far this year. However, I really dislike the transfer portal excuse. Every single coach deals with the same portal every year.

Agreed

 

it’s part of his job and if he doesn’t know how to handle it that’s on him

I'll renew my FB tickets but not as many seats.  Literally struggled to give them away when some or all couldn't make it north for a game.

It's not like there weren't plenty of seats every game if we need 2 or 4 more.

I'll be there for every home game. I just don't have high expectations for the team.

[Kab]

Waiting to see if any coaching changes and the schedule

also what the ESPN deal is and if any game time and day of week changes

I’m waiting to see if any changes are made before I make the decision

 

ni changes no renewal

Not sure if I’m going to renew mine yet?  If bubba was to be gone I would continue but if he is back I’m not sure 

 

When they decided to take away the catwalk our group of 20 shrank in half the following year. This year we had 4 of us left with us 4 undecided for next year.

I'll be renewing my 4.

If the metric for popularity of UND football is judged by the ability to give tickets away then this year was certainly worse than most years.  Outside of the NDSU game it was a struggle to fill my group of tickets.  Im sure Ill talk a big game and then still renew all my tickets as I still have dreams of a relevant UND football team and my friends and family as excited for the games as I.

Name one coach that he’s hired that has gone to do good things

Beau Baldwin, not that that’s what I’d recommend.

I haven't looked at our 2024 schedule recently but I'll go with a 7-4 record. 

12 games next year as noted above. Adding an extra win or loss?

[UND-FB-FAN]

If everything remains unchanged in terms of eligible players returning and coaching staff unchanged:

2024 Predictions: 

@ Iowa State - loss

vs Montana - toss up but I’ll go with a win since at home

vs Idaho State - win

vs San Diego - win

vs Murray State - win

@ NDSU - loss

vs UNI - win

@ Youngstown - loss 

@ Indiana State - win

vs South Dakota State - loss

vs South Dakota - win

@ Illinois State  - loss 

Final record: 7 - 5 … rinse and repeat.

Loss at Illinois State causes uproar to end season, Bubba finally “retires” with one year (2025) remaining on contract 

 

Chaves could do everyone a favor, principally the students-athletes, and force a change now, but he won’t.

[F'n Hawks]

The last two playoff games the defense has been as bad as you can be. At this point, what can be done to save it? What is there to be excited about on that side of the ball next year?

This defense isn’t even close to being good or where it needs to be. With no likely changes to the defensive staff, what is going to change?

We don't play Drake, it's Idaho State that week.   It's a win either way but it's someone better than Drake.

Idaho State is no gimme

[sioux24/7]

What are the odds any significant change happens? Either HC, or coordinator. Feels like -330, status quo.

Wins vs the Griz, UNI and USD? Nah....not happening.

Defense will somehow play somewhat decent against the Griz because there will be 10k plus in attendance. I don’t make the rules.

It’s got 6-6 written all over it.  I see a loss to the Griz at home, the swap out of WIU for Youngstown on the schedule, etc.

The Catwalk issue shows how out of touch the Alerus and Athletic Department are with the average fan - they just don't seem to care at all.  If no one will listen to that issue imagine how much they care about our opinion of the Football Program.

It might not be a gimme but I feel that's a win before UNI.

Nothing.  Nothing will change is the answer.
