farce poobah Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 I'm bothered more by the manner in which we lost, than the loss itself. Going on the road to a solid FBS team was always going to be long odds against winning. But the many errors, mental and physical, need to be fixed soon. Good time to have a bye week and get our heads on straight before the next big games. 1 Quote

I don't care who we played, you are admitting to being okay with losing. That is such a sh***y attitude and thought process to have. And that is exactly the issue with UND football currently. Too many people are okay with losing, don't want to hold coaches & players accountable, and don't expect more! I've said it before on here as a former college athlete, but fan expectations absolutely matter. They absolutely affect how the players and coaches perform. Overall, UND football fan and athletic department expectations are that they are okay losing in big games and are okay being average. Things won't change until everyone around UND football and fans start to expect more. I’m not happy with this loss. I’m also not going to call for the coach’s heads after one game or give up on this team when there is a ton of season left. Need to play perfect in the two big SU matchups and be perfect on the rest of the games. Tall task but we can do it Quote

Please tell me you don't think that the players and coaches perform according to the thoughts of a group of 40 guys/gals chat on a team message board! And for the record almost all of us have higher expectations than you suggest; the only issue is most of us do not keep rehashing negative history to support our thoughts. 2 Quote

None of the FCS teams you listed care about football. If you want to lump UND in with those teams so be it. Maybe that’s where we belong.. 2 Quote

Hard to take any of you seriously. Actually I think UND is good enough to have won this game. They didn’t play well enough to win this game. Missed XP, too many missed tackles, dropped ints, lost outside contain too many times, terrible center snaps, QB fumbles, QB slow to deliver passes, defense can ignore our TE’s. Disappointing loss. You are correct cuz with these mistakes, they didn’t show what they are capable of. 4 Quote

90siouxfan Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 I thought it was odd that Elidor didn't see much time or sooner. Same with Hunt, with Smith out why didn't he get in before 5 minutes to go? Quote
Sioux94 Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Seems like there were a few times we should have run it up the middle on first down, or other times. Seemed like we were pretty successful running up the middle. But will have to watch the game again to see. Quote

Not a great comparison. Florida doesn’t care about football? Surely, you jest. The fact that the other two schools who “could care less about football” absolutely whooped two FCS schools kind of proves my point, doesn’t it? Quote

I’m trying to wrap my head around how folks think a middle-of-the-road FCS team would roll into Boise and expect to walk away with a W. SDSU or NDSU might be able to do that - but it’s still a BIG maybe. 1 2 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Massey had UND losing by 17 points and with a 15% chance to win. Quote

Two legit dropped INTs, defensive players losing contain, Tommy making poor plays, CJ getting beat multiple times, OL looking lost at times. Shouldn’t be hard to wrap your head around the expectations of making those plays regardless of opponent 3 Quote

Oldguy Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Are we done with the BS about Schuster somehow being a "great" QB? He has very good numbers at home, but how often have we seen him implode against good teams on the road? UND will never go anywhere without a QB that can perform under pressure, and Schuster is not that guy. 1 Quote
