See this is what im getting at...

They indeed did do that. But at home was the only difference.

Pretty big difference.

No way last year's team wins this game 35-7.

We are five games in and 3-2 who cares about last year anymore.

Cover 15.5 please

Got us at Diamond Jo’s on way down at 14.5.  The added point didn’t  turn out to matter

small bet but was fun to cash it on way home

Need a full house next Saturday!

Why Cratter?

I would certainly expect them to perform higher than last year.

That was below their three year rolling average and yet was very recent.

Schmidt might have learned from Kaleb +

Schmidt use to playing in big time arenas +

New locker room gives this program a bump (see Alerus Center 1st year) +

First year of head coaches get bumps (see Hak & Brad B) +

This year of any year has all the making of being one of the best.***

How far is yet to be determined....

These are quick bulletin points for a message board and may seem inconsequential but are studied in program renewal effects/sports psychology.

I could divulge deeper into the short vs long term vs how many wins on average. But thats too nuanced...so instead:

"Moo U sucks we gona kyck there but" 

(***Thats of course if we continue to ignore the kicker situation which UND will need when the opponents start to get tougher.)

Genuine question. What's the obsession with hating Romfo?

Who cares? The people who think not much has changed.

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

Yes. What does that have to do with you hating a player who barely gets any playing time?

Enlighten me then. There are plenty of differences between the two programs in the last 20 years. Tell me why you're obsessed with hating Romfo.

never said anything negative about Simon personally....

the answer is talent......he's just not that talented and I don't care how much the heraldo says otherwise.

I remember getting DM"s when I was pointing out the same thing about Rooney and Aplin a few years ago.....great guys ...great students....everything the heraldo loves.....but not game changers...average at best....unlike the ndac where they had maulers down there....and I could care less if vollson or mauch's dad's were in jail for robbery or their mom's sucked dick under a bridge for cigarettes.....they were mauling guys to the tune of multiple natty's and were losing to Nichols juco....

So, you hate Romfo because he's not good at football?

You'll notice that I asked a question using your words. I think he's an incredibly hard worker and a good story as a small-town ND kid. I'm wondering why you spend so much energy bashing a player who barely plays.

not bashing....just pointing out that he isn't a upper fcs level talent.....could start maybe at UNC or Dixie or somewhere else....but und has higher expectations and Simon isn't getting us there...last year or this year 

can you imagine where Jerry would be right now if had started a few games at the end of last year.....or heck even two years ago.

but bubba.

Right. But none of that is relevant anymore since he's no longer the starter. It's coming off as petty, and it honestly seems personal. My advice? Move on and quit worrying about the 3rd string QB.

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
