11-26 for 134 with 1 TD and 1 Int

Must be nice to have a starting job you know you won't ever lose no matter how many balls you throw into the ground.

The post that 360 had after the game, had the same feeling. Poor Bubba, he feels so bad. It’s beyond frustrating. I understand if you are in the media (count 360 in that) that you want to be careful. But you can be tactful and say things without being super blunt. 

In a smaller way, they are also accountable for what’s happening as well. The Fargo media would never stand for this. 

It's wrong about the Fargo media.  One of the main NDSU football Fargo media guys told me personally that they all knew about shady stuff going on regarding evading scholarship limits years ago and didn't report on it cuz they would have lost their access to the team.

I should clarify. The Fargo media has the Football programs best interest in heart. When they see something concerning, they’ll call it out.

Different angle to it but in this case they had the program's best interest at heart and refused to report on what was going on.

lol…lol

No, they won’t.  They ask for permission if they can call it out

Maybe I’m not explaining this well enough. They have the Football programs best interest in heart, always. Right now, they’d be calling for Bubba’s job, because it’s so apparent the negative effects it brings to the program. They noticed how the fanbase had been becoming more and more uninterested, so they started pushing FBS. All over the push to upgrade the Fargodome. They’ll gladly bury news that would put NDSU in a negative light, but they absolutely will call things out that they feel will negatively effect the program.

muss rudy and the boys hitting the bottle of champagne

Bubba and Co. has done far more than Muss and Rudy for this program. That being said, Bubba should have been gone a few years back. As for Chaves, I'm not expert, but hasn't he been a big part of the facilities upgrade? Seems like the biggest strike he has against him is not getting rid of Bubba. So cut Bubba loose and make a good hire. 

Best part of the last 5 games has been not having to see Bubba almost fall over trying to do a griddy. But c'mon, I can't even handle listing to the guy talk. I'm sure he is a nice guy, but there is zero personality when he speaks ... prototypical ho hum kind of chatter. There is zero substance to anything he says and he always seems to be struggling to find his words, even though he regurgitates the same nonsense week in and week out.

Any chance we can get Kalen Deboer now? Not sure how long he will be lasting at Bama.

Now I wasn't a fan of absolutely loading up through the portal (Petrino style), but I think some of these teams have proved it can be effective when done correctly. At this point, a new coach and some fresh talent is needed. There are definitely some solid players on this roster, but not enough of them (certainly not on defense). And thinking we will become competitive only through recruiting at this point isn't going to happen. You're not going to get enough talent to come to GF when you have NDSU, SDSU and now USD all surrounding us. If the coaching staff thinks they can truly out recruit all three of those schools at the same time to make us relevant, they are kidding themselves. I've watched UND through a lot of ups and downs, but this way it all fell apart this season was absolutely pathetic.
