Just dropping by to say good game. I thought we had a chance if the coaches went with Bennett over Conklin, but I didn’t expect KB to be as unstoppable as he was. He’s been banged up this season so wasn’t sure if he was back to 100%.

Also thought you guys had all the mo by going ground and pound in the 3rd quarter and totally taking over the complexion of the game. Mind boggling why you guys went away from that, it’s like there was a switch that was turned on at halftime and then off at the end of the 3rd quarter. 

Best of luck moving forward, I wouldn’t be so down on your squad. IMO, you guys have a talented bunch, specifically on offense, to continue to build around and be successful. I’m not going to pretend to know all the ins and outs of the MVFC but it’s apparent that you guys are competitive and seem to be just a half step behind those not named SDSU. A couple key additions here and there and you could be knocking off those top teams.

 

BTW I feel for this guy below. That was the typical feeling/facial expression of Hornets fans pre-2019.

He’s probably contemplating how many more years he will want to get out and support the team, when they can’t manage a stop by blind luck every once in a blue moon.   Also figuring how many years left on Bubba’s contract, then how many years to get up to speed after that.  With our luck Bubba will pull out just enough for Chaves to give him another extension, and more people will be doing the math.  Maybe Bubba should just do the right thing, because he isn’t getting any younger himself, but then again he doesn’t seem to be too stressed about the Ground Hog’s Day results we are forced to live year after year.

Good question: 

UND Football: Should We Be Satisfied Just Making the Playoffs?

 

 

That should be a bare minimum expectation every year. Heck even a first round loss would make it a down year. Missing the playoffs should never be acceptable for any excuses.

Unfortunately according to some on this site we are not allowed to enjoy this season.  

Only thing to enjoy about the season is that we beat NDSU. They are still in the playoffs and nearly got a seed this year. Their dynasty in ND is not over until we are a more successful team than the one in Fargo. Getting smoked in the Fargodome next year will make everyone forget about our one big win. UND had a chance this year to turn it around and they failed…../

This is all very true.  As of this moment, the win vs the Bison this fall looks more like just a perfect alignment of the stars than an actual shift in very much.  The Bison improved a bunch this season and we just went into the tank as a team.
