Not sure that is called for, but whatever. I'm pissed that football lost too, but wtf does that have to do with people liking hockey.

They aren't wrong, at least that program hasn't had perennial letdowns. Some, but not nearly what we have had to deal with in football.

Not called for? I don’t like hockey. I’m supported by the majority of the country, I feel reassured by that.

For sure, the fact that we don’t throw deep hinders us in so many ways. Get a dual threat quarterback with the threat to throw deep opens up our running and short passing game that much more.

Its not like Tommy can't run a bit either. We saw him do it last year and take it when it was there. Seems like his mental game has regressed a bit.

I'm not going to hate on Tommy like some people on here, he has done some tremendous things during his time, but has clearly displayed his limitations as well. I'm all for him moving on and seeing what our next QBs up can do with their opportunities.

Though it is funny how many teams with productive QBs complain about them. There have been complaints about Bouman and certainly around Cam Mattress Miller. So it isn't just UND.

All of this being said, if Feeney or Jerry don't get it done, we will all be eating some crow in the next few seasons. I think there is some talent there though. Any if not, maybe some of our fans can watch the game, sitting on their bike, from the catwalk. Might be a good luck charm.

As a UND fan, and an assumed alumni. I’d think you would still support all athletics. I digress.

I support all sports, but some more than others. I digress.

You're an idiot. You don't have to like hockey. Not sure where you get the majority of the country doesn't like hockey though. No, its not as popular as football. Not much it. Still doesn't have anything to do with this thread or today's game.

Thanks for calling me an idiot. I guess that makes you a genius?
 

My goodness …

If it were that simple, I'd have been a genius a long time ago. 

No, you're not an idiot. Just get sick of your same BS all the time on here. Football loses because of their own stupidity, so lets bash hockey. Like wtf does that have to do with anything?

Sure someone says, at least we still have hockey. People want to watch winners! They didn't get it with football, they're more optimistic about the team that has been more consistent. I'm sorry football can't do it, I wish they could, but they get in their own way. Go cry about it.

So soccer is the best sport ever in your eyes if it comes to how many people agree on what is a “great” sport.

Maybe. I can see no reason to complain if we win and get left out. If we can’t win games like today, we won’t go far in the playoffs anyway. 

I agree. Would like to see something tried different from a program perspective. Onward. 

[Mama Sue]

I don’t know the finer points of the game…listened on the radio because those guys are awesome. Do I think we could have won? YES

Is there really, really a need to offensive comments like bipolar and University of the Blind? No one in my circle of family and friends have either, by the grace of God. 

I think GF, UND, and Sioux staff and fans are classier than stooping to that. Apologies accepted and let’s move on.

is referencing the bad newz bears offensive....bc if you watch that movie you know what's we are saying.

[Oxbow6]

UND's percentage to win only allowing 14 points was 72.4% BTW

[Kab]

When you look at our scoring against good teams I think other teams coaches know the tendencies of Danny and pretty much know what’s coming next

danny hasn’t figured that out

just run the damn ball until it doesn’t work

It’s behind baseball and soccer and maybe golf and boxing/UFC though, and that’s referring to NHL pro hockey, not NCAA 60 teams or so at the DI level hockey.  FCS football gets equal or better rankings than college hockey. Just typing some facts.  Not sure what point is but facts are facts.  I will be watching UND vs UMD tonight and cheering. However, I am realistic about where the sport that is king in a small market near Canada ranks nationally.

And we kept it damn close having only scored 14. Any miniscule showing of offense would have gotten the job done today. 

Would have also helped to be able to hold a team on 2nd or 3rd and a mile. It is unbelievable how bad that looks. That being said, the defense did plenty of other great things. INT in the end zone was nice and the forced fumble was a thing of beauty. Just hope some of these talented players don't transfer out because of incompetence in the staff. I don't say that lightly, but you can't help but question coaches costing us games. It has happened a few too many times in the past few seasons.

 

[Walsh Hall]

29 runs and 24 passes.  3.3 yards per rush.  It wasn’t like we were gashing them with the run either.

Absolutely. Not touting it as being the most popular, just making the argument that the majority of the country doesn't "hate it". And even so, college hockey may have a smaller market, but the fans that watch still like it. If he doesn't care for it, nobody is forcing him to watch it. He can shut up and be miserable over the football loss.

I’m not the one who initially brought up hockey when UND football lost today’s game, but good try. 

Hockey hasn’t won much the past few seasons either. 
 

Again, thanks for calling me an idiot. Nothing like a personal attack/criticism off-topic during a discussion to signify you’re right … thanks!

That’s true.  Most don’t care and that’s fine.  I do.

UND Football and Mediocrity: Teams Stuck in Purgatory May as Well be in Hell

Lost by 4 points to the number 6 team in the country. Back off the F N ledge! 
 

this loss sucks because of all the points we left on the field and because we should have won this game but the season isn’t over. Still can make the playoffs and get some wins . Seed would’ve been nice but we would all still be pissed if we lose our first game in the playoffs.

Do you read? I already said you're not an idiot, just sick of your same old BS.

Also recognized that someone may bring up hockey because they want to see a team that wins. UND has definitely had some down years with hockey, but I don't think you even want to compare program success; even in the past ten years. Besides you don't need to like hockey, you also don't need to bash on it in a football thread.

Mediocrity … for a very long time. Not fun.
