  • UND's off-season (compared to other MVFC teams). I think they did the best retaining starters out of any team. Fine with portal additions. Compared to previous years UND teams, this was the best off-season they've had in the portal era. 
  • Coaching. This is where I'm buying the most stock. From X's and O's to team mentality. It's going to be a night and day difference. Not only is Schmidt the real deal, but I think we'll also find out that Bubba was incredibly bad at it all. 
  • Defense. No detail needs to be given, really. The last 3 years have been beyond embarrassing. 

Agree with all of this though!

I really do appreciate the type of coverage that Miller and UND360 deliver. They don't blow smoke, and they tell it like it is. The roster is not close is what we've gathered from them. I would really like to clarify. Not close to what? Championship caliber? 2nd Round type of team? Playoff caliber? In comparison to last year?

I'm going to fill in the gaps a bit from what I'm hoping they mean, which is not close to championship caliber. Which I think is accurate, but I think they are really undervaluing a few things.

  • State of the FCS. IMO, this will be the weakest the elite of the FCS has ever been. NDSU most likely will win it all again this year, this won't be a Top 10 team they've had in the D1 era. Each level (Top 4, Top 8, Top 15) will be the weakest it's ever been.

Do I think they'll compete for a National Championship? Probably not, but also, we're not looking at a handful of teams that are going to be head and shoulders above the rest like we have in the past.

 

It’s not hard in this FCS field to be a top 25 team. We should be top 25 every year regardless with the resources we have. Becoming a top 8 program should not be hard for UND in the coming years

Of the first few games, I have my eyes on the Griz.  They are tough at home.  Coach Schmidt beat the bobcats a few years back with a depleted roster.  He also knows crying Bobby from the mountain west.  When the Junk Yard Dogs go to Missoula and beat the Griz we are back.  I hope to be at that game.

UND receives NO commission from sales made by Game One Stores!!  Do not buy from them!!

Pretty sure those purchases go towards UND's spending requirements, and UND gets incentives based on UND's total game one spend.

I really want to know before I order anything. 

Good looking stuff, but I want UND to benefit from this.

I sent an email and received a phone call back. The lady said definitely that no % or commission goes to the school!   I would think she would know what she is talking about!
