Popular Post Und246 Posted October 12, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 12, 2023 Bison fans and media care just as much or more than UND fans. They just won’t admit it. If we lose our fans will be disappointed but life will go on. If NDSU loses there will be mass suicides in Fargo. In a nutshell that tells you everything. 7 Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Posted October 13, 2023 It’s not just that bison fans think that su is better as a football team but also as a University - over even than that that they as individuals as bandwagon fans are better than UND fans. All because of a score in a football game. It would be soooo nice to win this game! Quote
Und246 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 NDSU (the college) is going through some rough times. Both financial and enrollment numbers. Lots of money at the university 4 Quote

sioux24/7 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I think we can win but I was far more confident 2 years ago. Quote

Not an issue for the ND flagship (UND) .….own the farm congrats to Dale and the 2003 team being inducted to the Hall of Fame last night. I still wish Dale was on the sideline for us. He simply had the “it” factor for UND football that our current staff doesn’t have and needs. hopefully his presence along with Roger Thomas’ presence on Saturday gets us over the hump. 3 Quote

forksandspoons Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Contain the run! About time the offense scores 30+ against SU. We’re more than due! LGH Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I’m still very concerned for serious heartbreak in this one. Hype in the building for this game means UND will likely come out hot and ready to go (see 2021 NDSU and 2022 SDSU games) but I worry that this NDSU staff will outcoach Bubba in the 4th quarter (again) and let us all down … again. Don’t forget, this NDSU staff has won a championship, they aren’t idiots…(at least all of them aren’t). Quote
Goon Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 This was the first UND vs. NDSU game I ever attended. From McFooley. Quote The date was Oct. 30, 1993 — almost exactly 30 years ago — and prior to kickoff that day the then-Fighting Sioux hadn't defeated the mighty Bison in 12 years. Twelve long years. Twelve years that saw NDSU become the kings of NCAA Division II with five national championships in seven seasons and a collection of NFL players. UND was often a smudge on the bottom of the Bison's cleats during that stretch. 1 Quote

Don’t think will help unless we let Kalen DeBoer know we screwed up and ask that he take the next flight from Seattle out to Grand Forks to help out on Saturday. But he’s too busy being featured on ESPN College GameDay this weekend to do that probably. ok, ok, ok enough living in the past. i am worried about this game being it’s a big game. UND leadership under Bubba historically been poor in these games. Need to change the trend eventually … hopefully it’s this Saturday 2 Quote

We need NDSU to cough up the ball a couple times to have a chance. Otherwise they will man handle us up front and Miller will run for 150. It is always about the line of scrimmage. 1 Quote
Sioux94 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Bubba was a good defensive coach. You would think all this week he would be helping Joel and working together with him to work on defensive schemes to stop the SU ground game. I'd love to see the same type of defensive performance we saw against MSU in 2019 and against NDSU in 2021. 1 Quote

Lots of angles to this incredibly hypothetical scenario, but I won’t derail this thread by going into all of it (again). Quote

What have I long said about NDSU: They do nothing exceptional, but what they do, they do exceptionally well. UND needs to take the step from good to exceptional execution. 1 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I deleted a post. We don't need other boards' vulgarity-filled non-sense here. (We have too much of our own.) 2 Quote

I hope this comment was a massive exaggeration. You are basically stating that coaching doesn't matter and that Bubba is no different than Saban. 2 Quote

If the players you recruit aren’t good enough then it doesn’t matter how good the coach is. Quote

Plenty of blame (and credit to go around) Bad snaps in Boise threw off the whole offense. That wasn't an issue at all previously this year and hasn't been since. Untimely turnovers turned the game quickly. Need to play clean. Big game tomorrow, players and coaches need to stay in the moment and execute to their potential. 1 1 Quote
