Re: 10/4/14 vs. Illinois State RedBirds

Since what I really want to say would earn me a lifetime ban, I'll keep it simple: That heartless performance from an unprepared team was wholly unacceptable. End of discussion. If you think otherwise, you're a fool

I couldn't agree more. Let's not overreact.

I get it we lost to a ranked team. And probably a team gonna make big jumps in the polls but is more so how we lost. Because we have a lot more ranked teams left to play. They are the 2nd best team we have played this year and it was rough obviously. I am not surprised we lost but by how we played more so is the concern. Next week doesn't really get easier.

Re: 10/4/14 vs. Illinois State RedBirds

This was the Jacks worst performance in the MVFC. You can't give the ball away 3 times in the first quarter and beat a good team. No chance. They got a short field on both fumbles and punched us in the mouth. The 90 yd drive after the pick and SDSU was dead, done. Our guys got their butts squarely kicked. Illinois St smelled blood and they went for it. Stig and his coaches can learn a little bit from that. Too often Jackrabbit teams have had similar chances to bury teams and haven't done it. Spack had these guys ready and they deserved to win.

A loss is a loss. 0-1 whether you lose by 1 or 35. Still very concerning the way the defense looked. Stopped nothing today. They ran for 350 yards people. 350 yards on the ground. That cannot happen. The dominated the LOS and made our defense look weak, really weak. MVFC teams can run and it looks like SDSU can't stop the run. That does not bode well for the conference season.

Special teams sucked again as I was afraid they would. Jacks can't cover kickoffs. How the heck is that possible?? Stay in your lanes, contain, tackle the return man. SDSU lead in TOP, same # of first downs and threw for 300 yards. Lost because we couldn't stop the run, special teams, and of course turnovers.

That was a HORRIBLE and I mean HORRIBLE performance. No excuses, reallly nothing positive to take from it. Coaches failed, players failed, a totally wasted opportunity to position the team in the conference race. Its over, get better, win this week.

Yeah and its not like we had to weeks to get ready for this game either. Apprently beating 2 avg big sky teams doesn't mean much when it comes to MVFC games. We were not prepared.

I motion to not wear yellow pants again, the yellow pants clearly did us in today.

That would do it. Blues are a lot better on the road. Plus I forgot to put the sdsu sign in the yard this morning before I went to work might have had something to do with it.

Re: 10/4/14 vs. Illinois State RedBirds

Team and coaches appeared way too tight! They must have been following the posters on here calling for a must win. Coaches need to get the players back to playing one snap at a time and not thinking about the score or even going 1 and 0.

Awful day. But next week is a new opportunity and I will be in Brookings expecting to see a well played game against Missouri State. I hope that the Red Birds do well from here on out and are one of at least 4 teams representing the Valley in the playoffs in November.

Re: 10/4/14 vs. Illinois State RedBirds

A top 15 team would not completely embarrass itself like that. Losing a road game is one thing. This was something more. Both ISU teams should leap over the top of us.

Spot on. Jacks proved to be overrated as most of us suspected. Polls always have past season bias. Both ISU teams have accomplished much more than UNI and SDSU and both are top 10 in my opinion, jacks should fall to about 20th deservedly so.

Re: 10/4/14 vs. Illinois State RedBirds

I wonder if we'll be in the "Others receiving votes" category. We haven't earned a ranking yet.

Again, not trying to be a troll after a game like this. Not sure the FCS polls have voters that pay that much attention. We beat this drum at rbf.net all the time. In particular, we've been discussing how SDSU was screwed last year, and how the Valley is disrespected by the selection committee. Your thoughts/criticisms are always welcome...

Re: 10/4/14 vs. Illinois State RedBirds

We might swap rankings with the Redbirds in the next poll, if we're still ranked next wk. Pollsters might tolerate one slip up, even of this magnitude
