The current era of college football there are essentially two off-seasons. We are through the first session of the off-season. Winter portal. This was by far the best they've done in both the retention of key players (losing 0) as well as the best they've done with portal additions. Hit reset and see if Schmidt and Co can pitch a perfect game this off-season after spring ball and the spring portal. I really do believe they can turn this program around quick if they nail this. Looking ahead to the spring (1) No key losses, nobody on the 2-Deep (2) Attrition at LB and other depth, think between 8-10 guys out. Hoping they don't need more than 4-6 guys post Spring portal to bring in. Tossing out random numbers, but my point being, if after spring ball there's a complete turnover ex: 15 out 12 in, probably looking more like a bigger rebuild.

We all know what a Weapon Q was on the sneak last year. Texas first and goal on the 1 against Ohio State and couldn't get it in cost them a chance at the game.

If I was Schmidt, or any coach really, I'd take a TE or FB that is used to handling the ball or was maybe a QB in high school and use them the same way they used Q. It seems almost like a no brainer. I guess there is the risk could fumble the snap since  not used to taking snaps, would definitely need plenty of reps taking snaps in practice. The tush push has been proven almost unstoppable in both college and NFL.

We literally just signed a 6’4” 220 lb qb

I thought about that later last night after I posted that lol, we should be good for a couple years.

Miller's article today, it says that UND is targeting April 25 for a spring game. The spring portal begins April 16 and lasts until....April 25th. Seems pretty strategic and I don't hate it. Seems to be pretty ideal / gives you better odds on keeping the guys at the top of the depth chart. At the very least knowing during Spring ball that they are gone. Like we saw last year with the two linemen. Tough having them get so many valuable practice snaps just to leave.

I will apologize for him, he was only referring to MBB, WBB, VB, SB, & Soccer.  You are correct, FB is in a slightly better spot having won zero playoff games in 11 seasons.

UND beat Missouri State in the 2020 playoffs.

This * BS is just a way for the Bubba haters to crap on Bubba more.   It was 100% a playoff win and the season 100% counted.  It needs to stop.  

It was what it was, but they played the games and if UND would have had a terrible spring season, it would have definitely be included in his results (see UND Hockey fans as it regards to Berry not getting a chance to be in the NCAA tournament with the #1 team in the nation as example #1).

That 2020 season (which occurred in Spring 2021) was different than usual for numerous reasons and definitely deserves an asterisk (*). To say otherwise is blindly supporting the previous head coach who couldn’t get it done. UND’s only football division I playoff win should carry an asterisk since it occurred during an asterisk season.
 

With all that, I am very hopeful UND is *now* primed for actual playoff wins moving forward. 
 

I’ve now hit my quota for how many times I can say “asterisk” in 2025.

BUT, sorry to say for some of you deadbeats, my quota for posts in 2025 is quite a bit larger.

It makes we wonder why no one ever puts on asterisk by the 20-21 hockey season.  Everything was different at the time, however posters only want to crap on Bubba for the season.

IMO anyone not counting the win in the spring season loses all credibility to rip the previous coach as they are ignoring the facts.  

I have not been supporter of Bubba for a few years now.
