Good game.

Because I’m a UND fan, I’m ticked there wasn’t a Shutout…some one jinxed it!

Wow, the Oracle at Delphi is usually cryptic. I was told the Pythia this Monday “either the defense gets stops or a coach must go” 

The Oracle of Delphi said either we win big, or get a shut out victory. I misinterpreted the Pythia. 
 

Last year the Pythia was spot on going into the ISU Blue game.

Never talk about a shutout or no-hitter in progress.

Anyone still want to compare this team to last year's? 

Great to see the road losing streak end in such spectacular fashion.

Last years team started 4-1. 😉

[Devils]

Seems that we are close to being a fairly complete team.  Plays being made from lots of spots and lots of contributors.  Still a ways to go to get there and plenty to clean up, but I like what I see for the most part.  

UNI looked terrible.  What happened to that program?  Looking at their schedule, I'd be surprised if they won more than one more game.

objective.  just check rushing defense and 3rd down conversion.  no comparison between last year and this year.

[gfhockey]

Do you know if we beat Montana last year or this year?

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)?

Are you suggesting we throw the ball to JTJ?

[Sioux90]

This offense puzzles me. We have talented running backs.

Never knew you to be a pot stirrer, it's the first year under a new coach with several new assistant coaches. What would make you happy at the end of this year?

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! 😂

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

[Cratter]

Does "make me happy" mean meeting or exceeding my personal expectations?

I'd would then answer "I would say a year similar to two years ago."

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.

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.
