We always play terrible against Idaho State and we damn near lost to Indiana State last year. And we play Indiana State on the road this year. 1 Quote
Midwestern Hawk Posted March 21 Posted March 21 In light of the events since the last game(1 and done playoff appearance)... 2024 North Dakota Football Schedule Aug. 31 at Iowa State - LOSS Sept. 7 vs. Montana - LOSS Sept. 14 vs. Idaho State- TOSS UP Sept. 21 vs. San Diego-WIN Sept. 28 vs. Murray State*-WIN Oct. 5 at North Dakota State*-LOSS Oct. 12 BYE Oct. 19 vs. Northern Iowa*- TOSS UP Oct. 26 at Youngstown State* - LOSS Nov. 2 at Indiana State*-TOSS UP Nov. 9 vs. South Dakota State*- LOSS Nov. 16 vs. South Dakota* - TOSS UP Nov. 23 at Illinois State* - LOSS We have 5 all but guaranteed LOSSES, 1 probable LOSS(MONTANA), 2 all but guaranteed WINS and 3 TOSS UPS. Lose at home vs UNI and we could lose the last 7 games of the season. Best case is 7-5 and a playoff berth, worst case is 2-10. Would make a bet we have no more than 7 wins and at least 5 losses.

petey23 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Maybe someone could set up a separate NIL Collective for UND football. For a name I was thinking the 527 Collective. Quote
CMSioux Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Can we put to rest any thought that the comments and opinions on this site have any influence on the football program. 1 1 Quote

That's the problem; the suits in the athletic department don't give a damn about what the friends and supporters of this fine institution think. They have their cute country club positions secured. It doesn't matter how bad our teams get, nothing will change. The only person who can change this is President Armacost. 1 Quote
shep Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Though I post here quite often, I have no expectation the Prez or AD will or should listen to anonymous fans. The ones they will listen to: the money people! See Englestad, Ralph and successors. Quote

And if this sorry situation continues, the support and money will gradually dry up. Not all at once, but eventually. And the worse things get, the harder it will be to clean up. Quote

Mama Sue Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Well does it go without saying that this new NIL start up is dead? Asking for a friend….. Quote

Based on the positive comments that were posted under the Twitter/Facebook posting of the extension I would say it will do just fine. I plan to support it because I want the program to be able to compete. 2 Quote
forksandspoons Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Good point from Tom Miller about the impact of the new S&C coach being overlooked a bit by fans: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/und-football-mailbag-qb-race-new-coach-impressions-rising-stars-and-more 1 1 Quote
Sioux94 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 This has got to be as dead on here as it's ever been during spring ball 2 Quote
Nodak78 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I'm looking forward to the new wrinkles in our offense. fingers crossed on defense improvement. Quote
FSSD Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Well, I am not see much coming out from the school either. Quote

I am too, not only the new wrinkles but also to see the impact of having a different QB. You would think the QB battle would be some that everyone would be talking about right now, but haven't heard much of anything. I did see Miller had an article not too long ago but I was unable to read it. I had an online subscription last fall so I could read the football articles, but then cancelled it in January. Which even before without a subscription I could read one or two periodically but now I can't read any without paying for subscriptions. So not being able to read any articles probably makes me feel more out of the loop, but has also been little to no discussion on here. Think I saw the spring wrap up thing is today? Quote

Drinking from a fire hose with new OC. The QB's are taking a lot in. Need a ton of film to grasp in real time. Glad three are battling at QB in spring and absorb it this summer and display results come fall practice. I think we are in good hands. Quote

Mama Sue Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Not sure what thread this goes on… this morning the Minneapolis Star Tribune had an article in the sports section about NIL for high school athletes. I believe it is the first in a series. A Minnetonka girl’s BB player is the nation’s #6 recruit. She made a deal with New Balance. Her team all wore new New Balance shoes on the way to their state championship. Not sure this is a good direction for high school sports. Quote

Your point is still valid but the story is a little misleading. The team did get shoes from new balance but they were more like knock around shoes, not basketball shoes. Technically they ‘wore them on the way to the state championship’ since they wore them on the bus ride to the game. 1 Quote
