NSU Wolves Football - 2024

[NSUguy]

Your pro team hasn't been good in 30 years, why are you still hopeful with them?

Who knew we were on the pro football message board. If we want to go that route at least they have won a lot more games than yours and had multiple playoff appearances. Northern football won’t sniff any postseason football with what is going on now.

They never have...

They played in the Mineral Water Bowl one time. That is postseason football to me.

Would you like to take a look at the NSIC back in your glory years that you refer to? The Mineral Water bowl was for the top NSIC team, the NSIC is light years past the competitiveness of that NSIC.

In 1999 the Wolves lost to Augie by 31 points and Augie was 3-6 in the NCC.

the NSU team that went 8-3 quite a few years back would have wrecked those old NSU teams.

Why be on here if you are going to just crap on them? You won't even go to a game lol.

Since 2000 your team has won less games and if you want to go back to the 60s, we can debate the same thing. Also, my squad has 2nd most playoff appearances since 2000 and twice of yours. But hey, when the going gets tough, keep the faith, I guess

Welp, what are we taking away fromt his one?

USF certainly was overpowering up front but honesly, their offense wasn't really THAT impressive. Their RB could stiff arm his way through a redwood, but still, Wolves D isn't atrocious. It's the big plays and the poor pursuit angles. You clean that up and we have ourselves a pretty solid defense. Not deep, which is another issue, but you can't really fix that in season.

Offensively, Wolves run the ball hard. I knownit was mostly against 2nd team, but with Hackel in there was a little bit of tempo and energy. I personally hope they stil with him.

It's hard to really be checked in with a lopsided game, but if you are going to run play action you have got to atleast put some effort into selling it. That was sloppy with Colton and with Britt in both games.

Though Lee Keller was probably half way pregamed for his 1999 squad get together, what he said about getting something and stacking small w's is dead on. Win one play, then win another. You will not win an entire game on a big play in the 1st.

I tell my kids all the time, be a great teammate firat amd foremost. If you focus on the team there will always be a positive to draw from and feed off of. If you focus on yourself, there is going to be, at minimum, an equal number of bad vs. good that comes from it.

I had a former player text me about all this money and upgrades shoudl have been Doschs to try and win with. It is what it is at this point but we seem to still be regressing from the 2020 recruiting barrage.

In the end, I hope we keep the hopes and goals high, despite the amount of know it alls on here telling us we need to be content with mediocrity.

At first I thought the defense was terrible. But it was the offense that was atrocious. They scored 34 points on like 260 yards. That’s the offense putting the defense in terrible positions.

Next week is a must win. If we lose that game, seasons over.

We might have the worst football team in the conference and we worried about uniforms?

I’m so pumped we built this brand new facility to hire a garbage coach who can’t recruit or build a team. No wonder all the fans leave the game in the third quarter every game.

Schmidt has to go. I have been saying this for two years now. I think it’s very telling that the first game of the season the stadium was not all that full. The Aberdeen community deserves better and they are showing their dissatisfaction but beginning to not show up. The players deserve better as well.

Above all else, can we not where black jerseys with thay pant/helmet combo again? We have such nice colors and the mix of uniform combos is so poor.

Now I need to go around the intereebz to find a picture of these uniforms

I was just trying to find something besides the Gane to talk about. Maybe they aren't as bad as I think, but it just looked odd. Maybe black pants would have been better. Idk

I haven’t looked hard, but so far I have only seen the pregame hype of the new look. The jersey looked pretty good, but it wasn’t a shot showing the whole combo.

As a football fan and NSIC fan, but not really a Northern guy (love J Hein), I feel bad reading the negative back and forth on this thread. Hopefully some good things happen soon so everyone can be happy for a bit!

Just two friends exchanging shots, it is what it is. Just a lot of frustration out of the Northern faithful. I bleed maroon and gold, but the majority of fans that aren't as passionate as some are hard to keep engaged and optimistic. I try to be very real about things, so even for myself it is hard to stay positive.

Regardless, when NSU fans get together in real life, you will struggle to find a tighter knit group of people in the NSIC.

Travel on up for homecoming and you'll see

If you like parades, yes. Longest one in the state.

If it's appealing to you, down at the Zoo bar they serve breakfast and refreshments ans the parade is also streamed inside.

5k run/mile walk in memory of a former NSU student athlete at 8am. Just a really good weekend with a lot goin on.

Might have to meet some of the Norther folks, as long as they promise to be nice to me! 🤣

We have even shared a few with Augie fans over the years. It's just a really big party and the environment is great, but on Gypsy Days everything is much, much bigger.

Hope you have a great experience and if I end up going this year I'll maybe hunt you down.
