Thank gosh.

That's an extremely low bar to pass - UND fired their coach for that performance.

Just pointing out even crappy team last year started out good including beating a team ranked higher than themselves at this point in the season.

A better comparison is will this team be better than the year before Bubba got fired (2023)?

any updates after yesterdays game.

have you watched und football in the last 20 years.....

Lack of a great QB killed the program the most. A great qb can make bad teams average and average great, its been the missing piece and we may have found it. I say do whatever it takes to get Jerry to stay.

700 day road losing streak snapped

Trivia question...who was the last team UND defeated in football on the road.....?

I couldn't remember, so I looked it up.  I remember the defense being terrible that day.

Bill Murray state?

See this is what im getting at...

They indeed did do that (more or less)

But at home was the only difference.

Yes yes we know Bubba sucked on the road. No argument there. It will always be his great unknown. He might have had the biggest points spread difference known to man - home vs away in FCS Football....but on average it equates to a three point swing.

There’s a clear difference between the two teams. THE DEFENSE, and THE QUARTERBACK.

There was a live horse on the field the last time we won a road game.

You got it.  It was the Murray State Racers.

I never knew analyzing football seasons meant my emotional state was either happy or unhappy, nor "stirring the pot."

Edit: oh I get it now. Some are interpreting it as putting down this years team.... No, Im actually sticking up for last years team saying it wasn't as bad as some seem to believe.

Late season losses imo was because of a deflated "we missed the playoffs season" after a devastating OT loss. Despite showing very early signs of being a good football team...Just like individual games...4th quarters when losing teams naturally "give up" and finally score isnt always indicative. I know its cool to rag on teams and coaches when they're fired though. I get it.

Maybe I need to learn some things are just too nuanced for message board discussions! 😂

I have always said last years team was four points away from the playoffs. Our defense fell apart in the last five games. But the cupboard was far from bare coming into this year.

Making the playoffs is such a low bar in the fcs..

I would like to thank my father who told me that earlier this week, the last road win was against Bill Murray state.

yeah but that’s how we judge a solid season here

 

get in and lose

 

good season

[UND Football Fan]

We need to win road games against the playoff teams. Best road wins (excluding Great West) were Portland State only playoff teams road win (9-3) 2015, 2018 Sam Houston (6-5) and Youngstown (7-4) 2022. Looking at that, that lack of success with teams with winning records says it all.
 

UNI win was great, but not a playoff team. Team needs to refocus and not have a letdown after our first road win in nearly two years.
 

With new systems and better depth this team is better but needs to continue to improve. Self inflected wounds would be losses if on road against legit playoff teams or bubble teams.

The game at Southern Illinois in two weeks will tell me all I need to know about this team.

I don't think Schmidt is going to settle for that as the gold standard in Grand Forks.

Great to keep raising the bar, next week we will take down a ranked team. Just a side issue but I believe we are 5-0 in covering the spread.

My bulletin points

* enough piling on the kicker; needs to improve, but it will 

* enough irrelevant comparisons to 2024; who cares about that previous losing team that was led by Sleepy … onward

* enough bashing of Simon Romfo… kid is a baller 

On to Youngstown State 

 

 

what makes you think kositich knows what he's doing..why "but it will"....how why?

..we'd be more than likely 4-1 and a top 10 rank if kostitch was fired after last season...or the season before ...or the season before.....

what has simon done that even remotley says baller?  his bounce passes?
