In that the MVFC has its share of Haves and Have Nots, it could not be difficult to flip last year and get back into the playoffs. Even with the challenges of the defense several of the games were winnable. Very predictable that bandwagon fans will be back quickly. 

Exactly. Other than bizarre bad luck 6-7 games should be easy almost blow out wins every single year. Add 2-3 more good wins should be the minimal expectation.

I agree. Minimum of 7-8 wins per year for UND football. That is the standard. The facilities and investment that UND football now has at its disposal is better than several FBS programs. No reason whatsoever that UND football isn’t in the watered-down FCS playoffs and hosting games every single damn season. 

The 5 wins in 2024 was an absolute travesty. The losses to Youngstown State-Indiana State-Illinois State were purely a result of awful defense, awful road preparedness, and ultimately Bubba losing the team. No buzz, no excitement, no expectations - the exact opposite of where this program is now trending thank God …

Lets Go Hawks

I believe 7-8 is low. I believe if UND “rights the ship” we should expect 8-9 wins each year. That get should get us into the playoffs each year. 7 wins isn’t always enough.

I agree, 7-8 should be considered down.

Oh there will be a new tradition. How about one pushup for every point scored (with one of his sons standing on his back)!

Ideas?

Pretty damn optimistic about 2025 season and 2026.

Two huge commits for 2026 season.

Two known publicly or two mentioned by Darnell yesterday?

Not trying to be Debbie Downer here, but what makes them huge commits?  According to 247 they both have only one other offer.

So how many offers does a commit have to have to be considered "huge"? 6? 10?

As a previous poster here mentioned at one time, could have been Geaux, not sure on that, a bigger offer list shows that the recruit has the talent to have other programs recognize it as well.  We know the "Diamond in the Rough" method hasn't worked previously.  More sought after players could be coming..was just a question on my part.

At least one went to camp at SU, they thought he had enough talent to invest some time and money in him. Perhaps he committed before they could make their offer?

Could very well be.

If I understand correctly, I am a little concerned that our new qb recruit doesn’t seem like much of a runner/scrambler

Still have Sulak and Jerry. Coach made it sound like they have improved. Listen  to 360 podcast.
