It’s perplexing, I know; but, unfortunately, predictable. That should tell you all you need to know.

Bubba did a great job cleaning up the dumpster fire Mussman left him, but I think he has taken us as far as he can.

Look at deboer and how he is doing at new schools

we are stuck with the same results year in and year out because change doesn’t happen

if we get in the playoffs the end result would be a first game loss as predicted from previous seasons

“UND running back Gaven Ziebarth, who has emerged as the Fighting Hawks' go-to ball-carrier, was hurt on a 3-yard run with 10:47 left in the second quarter.

Ziebarth, who suffered a lower-body injury, didn't return to the game.

Ziebarth, who ran for more than 150 yards against North Dakota State last Saturday, finished with four carries for 27 yards.

"I haven't talked to sports medicine," Schweigert said. "He got twisted up there. We'll learn more tomorrow, and you'll have to deal with it." “

Huge loss for the team if he is out extended time

[SWSiouxMN]

Yeah.... this did it for me.

<bump>

a ceiling has been hit.

Last year. We fought out butts off and made a game of it at Weber despite being outmatched. We beat a playoff caliber Youngstown last year on the road. I was expecting a win (though UNI would be fighting for their playoff lives) or at least a team coming out after a crappy half to make a game out of it. Instead we played flatter than we did at SIU last year. 

Long story short is I’m not totally upset with the loss, but as a fan how we lost and appear to show no fight is the most disappointing.

A rather embarrassing loss and it does detract from last week’s win

Bubba deserves all the criticism and more today

starts at the top 

If he can only get to 5-6 he would get another extension.

[petey23]

Am I allowed to be disappointed in todays result if it is what I expected?

Nope. I plan on holding that win over NDSU's head until we play them again.

Man, we’ve been slowly conditioned to not care about winning football at UND. It sucks so bad.

too much crying in the post game press conference?

Not sure why they played this week. I thought last week was for the National Championship. Storming the field, crying at the press conference. That doesn’t happen after a mid season win. They already accomplished more this season than they ever expected to. The season is a success for UND’s players and most of their fans. They finally beat the mighty Bison.

Don’t get me wrong, I felt we should win, UNI was not going to be a pushover, however how we lost is unacceptable.

I think we all knew the game would be tough, but as I said before the game, didn’t matter if it was a 1 point game or a 40 point game, it just needed to be a win. Didn’t happen. Not even close.
 

The concept of a “good loss” is really only acceptable if you’re conditioned to losing. The culture of UND football supports this right now, despite the win last weekend. It’s a body of work over the past 15 years.

A good loss would be if your mom took your keyboard away...

I feel a flashback of Casablanca coming on, "I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED that we lost a road game to UNI"... "Sir, here's your winnings...."

Implied. Bottomline this is another devastating loss right when the hype was legitimately building. Can never string ‘em together. Now the balloon has popped, again.

I never said or implied “good loss” , my point of not being upset is if this team played/coached their butts off and lost.  Disappointed yes, but not upset because of the effort and team was in position to win.
 

This game I felt was over after the fumble, there seemed no energy from players and coaches. If we are a playoff team that should not happen.

You do run the risk of a satisfied feeling that needs to be put to bed after a day. Don’t know if that was the case or not, as everyone said they turned the page.
 

Then you have to ask the question is this UND team good or not.  The problem as I see it, is that every time the team get’s to the point they have the University’s, town’s and some national attention they fail to take the next step and sustain it.  

The fact that NDSU has been able to sustain success over that long and not get overly complacent is amazing.

When UND consistently fails to capitalize on the attention they have garnered from a big win, I think it makes it that much harder for the fan base and possibly even potential recruits to buy in.  At some point you have to take the next step or figure out what needs to be done to do that.
