Saw something about a decibel meter at the game, did anyone see something like that?

KVLY (NBC) mentioned it and was recording it.

Probably an app available on a phone.

Sounded like the Bison were worried about noise level even before the game.

[SWSiouxMN]

Now can they get a trophy game back going again?

Play for a sugarbeat, a farm, just do SOMETHING!

and do it for USD as well.

Loved how they let the fans on the field after the game.

That's what college football is all about.

We often forget it's their (students) football team.

Makes a person wonder if NDSU would have had their current run if they had to play UND more in the Alerus during it....add another L to their loss column every other year...which likely means no home field for them throughout the playoffs....

We have at least two OL that will be playing on Sunday.

Congratulated Danny in the field. He response….”Got a big game to get ready for next week.”  Gotta love coaches like that!!

That’s kinda been Bubba’s philosophy during his tenure. Don’t get too high after a win, too low after a loss and get ready for the next one. I believe he and the staff have tried to instill that into the team culture.

They were not asking that question.  They kept looking for ways to win.  They coached up the players to believe.  The Bison are in trouble.  SDSU will destroy them.

While your posts sounds awesome for the raw raw Fandom. And I don't disagree with anything you wrote.

"Looking for ways to win" means you call plays on third and fourth down based on time, score, and distance. And you adjust accordingly. Including whether to go for it on fourth down or kick a field goal based on statistical probabilities. I, and everyone else, were happy the team executed well enough to never worry about it...this game. 

Which means we get to all enjoy the win!

[fightingsioux4life]

Where was this team in Brookings? Or are the Jackrabbits just that much better than the rest of the MVFC?

[Cratter]

How cool to see "the nickle" in the celebration!

Really need a new (or any) trophy!

[Siouxperman8]

The real question is where can I get one of those nickel trophy replicas like the young girl was holding after the game?

It would be great to have one for the next home game tailgate. 

[Cratter]

Hoping NDSU can bring a more competitive team next time so UND doesn't have the play the backups again!

Exactly.  UND played and had few mistakes.  Next week will be critical.  Need that win badly.

Now wear those helmets and business suits the rest of the year...ND

I think it's more that the Jacks are really good, but our effort wasn't great on the road either.  I feel the Jacks are better than Boise and atleast a few in our program feel the same way.

Agree100%.  I think the jacks roll to a national title.

A long.time coming 

[Sioux94]

Now THIS is why flew up here for the weekend!! When I bought my ticket back in August it just felt like this was going to be the year and absolutely HAD to be the year. The SDSU game had me worried and doubting, but as I mentioned earlier this week I felt our players had to be taking this way more personal than SU after getting spanked year after year. Today they came out and did something about it. Also love hearing the 2003 team was up here this week. It just added to the feeling like it had to happen this year. This was a long time coming, congratulations to Bubba and all the coaches staff and players. For me that absolute dime that Tommy dropped in to Elioder and the CJ pick were the two plays of the game. OL was amazing but I think hitting a pass like that to Elidor was an  important play in the game.

Let's keep it going next week at UNI!!

[Dustin]

Happy for Tommy to get this win under his belt. It was certainly possible for him to own (and I mean REALLY own) all the quarterback records, but yet never beat NDSU. This win cements his legacy much more. 
 

Also happy for Bubba. He maybe could have had a couple more shots at this victory before he hangs it up, but glad he doesn’t have to think about never beating them. 
 

wonderful day all around.

Sioux fan but not a big football guy...still, loved seeing UND beat the living shi+ out of the Bison! Happy for Bubba and the boys!

[UND-FB-FAN]

Pure happiness. Absolute joy. 
-so happy for Bubba, his staff, former players and coaches, fans, Grand Forks, UND community, etc. etc. 

- keep feeding the ball to Ziebarth. Dude can run. Offensive line can play. 
-keep the silver helmets full time. Get throw back uniforms (green/white jerseys, silver pants) to go with them  

Again, pure joy. Happy for Bubba, happy Dale Lennon and Roger Thomas were present to see it. Just awesome.

- now hype/crank this motherf*cker up and go beat UNI next weekend

Reading the Mpls spirts section and saw this….keeps getting better and better!

For UND to win 3 things need to happen.....

1) UND rushing yards need to be within 50 yards of NDSU

2) UND ST play needs to be clean. No missed XP or FG. No long NDSU kickoff or punt returns

3) UND has to win turnover margin

Expand  

1) UND outrushes NDSU 205-150

2) ST were great and were an absolute game changer (words that probably haven't been posted on this site in years)

3) Check

I had this exact conversation with an NDSU friend last night.  There really arent all that many truely hostile environments in the MVFC.  Yah they beat us 5 times in a row but 4 of them were in the Fargodome which is a really significant home field advantage and they struggled 2 years ago in the alerus and what a result this year!!  Biggest issue for the Bison now is Entz.. I would be willing to chip in for them to keep him around.
