Potato Bowl 2025: Portland State @ UND

[UND-FB-FAN]

Kansas State game hurts, but 24 hour rule. Flush it. No moral victories. Expectations are higher now. We’re going for championships.

Everyone get out to the Alerus Center at 6 pm on 9/6/25 and support Coach Schmidt and his team. Tailgating starts at 11 am. Get your tickets if you haven’t already. 

Onward towards 11-1 and beyond … 

LET’S GO HAWKS

Portland State highlights from week 0 and week 1:

Tailgating opens at 11 a.m. for a 6 p.m. game - really sets the table for a loud fan base. Imagine the size of the garbage pile in the student section (right next to the dumpsters.)

Thanks I can't make the game but will definitely watch.  I hope to make to Missoula.  Not looking ahead.  Just easier for me to travel.  Very excited about this team.

How come section 213 is so wide open? Looking to maybe make the trip for Sat but wasn’t sure if something was wrong with that area or what haha

I think they’re pretty good seats haha fill ‘em up!

The committee hates UND. Always has, always will. So, with that said and in addition to playing a really poor team, I think a 40+ point blow out win will still only bump them up to #15-16 depending on how the teams ahead of them do. If they win in a close game, they likely stay put. A loss would probably allow the committee an excuse to keep them out of the top 25 the rest of the year. Play solid ball in front of the home crowd and they should have no problem putting up 50 points and keeping these guys under 10.

Sitting at #15-16 for a few weeks will be fine. Last year we peaked at #10 I believe. Having only lost 3-4 games at home over the past dozen years if we lose this game we don't deserve to be in the top 25 for the rest of the year - THAT AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN :)!

Playoff committee =/= anyone who does any polls.
The good news is Matt Larsen is off the playoff committee as the MVFC representative and Bill Chaves is taking his spot.

UND is way too quiet. First home game for a new coaching staff, they should be blowing it up on all their social media channels. 

[Brim006]

Coach said to fill the corners so maybe I should buy my tickets in the corners. ill likely have my young boys with me
