The ONLY f'ing good thing about this is I hope our team comes in pissed off as hell against SDSU. I want a win against SDSU. I hope this loss sits in their crawl all season! 

I agree, I agree. I certainly “hope” for this also, but it just seems so distant at this point. We will see.

Sort of a combination of it all. Offense was sloppy in all areas, and the turnovers really hurt (as per usual). 

Well half of those things are out of our control with who we had take the field today….. it’s like expecting Drake to beat SDSU today

[SIOUXFAN97]

is in out the question for qb's to take a snap under center anymore?

Not one to hold grudges like you, but we’ll see how many games this “juggernaut” Boise State team wins. I wouldn’t be surprised if they sputter, but we’ll see. 

I’m not the one who said Boise was going to be the best MW team this year. Media and coaches are the dummies not me

You do realize that setting expectations like you are will never allow UND to take the next step, right? What did NDSU and SDSU do the last time they played Mountain West opponents? You do realize that NDSU and SDSU are in UND’s conference; they are the benchmark. Also, you can’t just turn on and off your team like a light-switch. Doesn’t work that way. The way you play against FBS correlates to how you play vs the top of the FCS.

It’s just one game, we have 8 more

I can’t believe some people here actually watch the same thing happen over and over again every single big game for the last 10 years and keep defending it.

I don’t get how you are just okay with losing in big games and then making excuses. At some point Bubba and crew need to actually get it done or move on.

Boise was nothing more than a glorified FCS program.  Nothing that was jaw dropping about them.  Difference was UND self destructed.

Agree. Boise State nothing too special. They turned the ball over, and then UND would just give it right back. Missed opportunities for picks by UND; gotta make big plays in big games to take the next step. UND didn’t execute (again) and another golden opportunity missed by this program / coaching staff on national TV. Onto South Dakota State …

Anyone here think NDSU beats Boise if they play next week?

Did you really expect UND to beat a decent FCS team today?  I didn’t.  $650K check collected, mission accomplished.

You’re right, Boise is a decent FCS team basically. You know what’s better than collecting a 650k check? Collecting a 650k check and winning.

POUND WITH Z

I was thinking the same thing. Pounding it with skokna isn’t going to work. Limping on the sideline. He can’t take the abuse.

I would expect UND to beat a decent FCS team.  Boise State didn’t look any better than a decent FCS team.  Certainly not a decent FBS team.

Could it be UND at best is just a decent FCS team?

[Sioux94]

Here is the thing for me. I'm f'ing pissed off about today so don't say crap about low expectations. I'm pissed. But our defense I think played pretty well. F SDSU and NDSU, I want to beat them both! And for the love of God can we make an extra point wtf!

Yes, that could be the situation, but that would mean things need to change. To elevate past NDSU/SDSU, you can’t be a “decent FCS team, you’ve got to be top tier.

Absolutely. The next three or four games will tell us a lot. Maybe today was an aberration but based on history probably not. I think they’ll go 2-2 at best. I hope I’m wrong.

2-2, as I said from day 1, is most likely, and it’s not good enough. It basically is a microcosm of the same ol’ same ol’. Means UND with their current setup continues to falter in big games. 
 

Hope I’m wrong. Hope UND beats SDSU. I’ll be there supporting in-person, per usual. At some point, got to just get it done. If it ain’t working, though, can’t keep trying the same thing over and over; gotta try something different.

Yep, sure is.  And realistically when it’s FCS vs FBS, there’s about a 1 in 25 chance of that.

Ask NDSU (and even SDSU of late) if those odds hold up… I’ll wait.

You're supporting mediocrity, and there’s no reasonable way to spin it. It’s not just you, though; it’s a culture issue.

You think we would have lost to CSU or Nevada today? Not even close, big difference between Boise and the bottom feeders that should be in the big sky

You should have caught up with Bill Chaves to give him your two cents before they left to get on the plane.

We should really question some of your judgments if you thought UND showed they were good enough to beat this Boise team. Hard to take any of you seriously.
