[Grinch]

Re: Staff issues

I don't like speculating too much on what might have been...but If Coach Bohl had the 07 or 09 UNI teams.....ZERO doubt in my mind we would have 2 National Titles....

Re: Staff issues

05, 06, 07, 08, 09, IMO should have been the golden age of UNI football. Elite, ELITE talent on all of those teams. FCS All Americans, future NFL players, dominant line play, great QBs, athletic defenses. We will never, ever be more talented than we were during those years. Its an absolute shame that we did not win a title with one of those teams. SMH

We had teams just as good as those back in the early 90s; I do agree that those teams should have netted at least one title though.

Re: Staff issues

with great talent and success comes a lot of coaching turnover. we arent gonna make good hires 100% of the time.

Re: Staff issues

this is the toughest start to a season UNI has ever had. They had a ton of hamstring pulls (17 i believe), hired a staff late, couldn't fully practice due to the players hurt and new coaches, and didn't have a bye week until their toughest matchups of the season. It's not pretty but we've been close in EVERY game.

I'm pretty sure Grinch is taking a more general tone and not talking specifically about this year. It's tough to generalize but it sure seems that there is something missing here. On the other hand sometimes things just aren't meant to be. 2001 Montana-great team, 2003 Delaware-great team, Flacco-GREAT QB, Richmund-Not great team (this one really hurts)......2012 Sam Houston St-NOT great team. I can see NDSU repeating with a dominate team with no elite team coming forward to challenge them. There always has been a feeling around UNI fans that it is only a matter of time before a Championship would come. With the emergence of NDSU, the sky is falling feeling might stem from a feeling that it will never happen. Just speculating, sorry to drone on so long.

Re: Staff issues

I don't want to live in a world where Eastern Washington, Richmond, and Villanova have national championships and UNI does not.

Re: Staff issues

How about Indiana State and Florida A&M?

I've resigned myself to the fact it's never going to happen. We may be FBS before we have another legitimate run in us...

Re: Staff issues

......or how about a 6-0 run where we destroy everyone, things break just right with other at-large candidates, that team to the North (that won't be named) gets upset in the second round, no other team emerges as a dominate opponent, our defence gets healthy, our freshman QB has an entire season under his belt and we win it this year.

Even if UNI can win out, what has to break right with other at-large candidates to get UNI into the playoffs? I just don't see it happening this year.

I like how you think.

Two weeks to heal, learn and prep. I think we are about the enter the Hyde part of a Jeckyll-and-Hyde season (Jeckyll referring to game outcome, certainly not effort).
