The story of this game? We just were not ready to go coming out of the locker room in the first half.

Agreed. If the Jacks came out with some energy, they'd be running out the clock now instead of watching the Griz win. Prediction: NDSU will CRUSH these guys.

Man...if only we had the time back from those off tackle dives on that last drive.

Nguyen with a 15 yard run and that'll do it.

This game was lost in the 2nd quarter. Jacks with a nice comeback, but way too many mistakes to win on the road. Way too many missed opportunities.

Final: Montana 24, SDSU 17.

SDSU finishes 8-4. Disappointing first half effort today.

Jacks open with TCU next season.

Gotta play the whole 30 minutes each game. The whole 30 minutes.

I think we have said this afternoon ever big game the team didn't show up for this year. Someone needs to ask stig what it is about the staff that makes them incapable of getting this team ready for a big game.

Well at least they don't have to get destroyed by NDSU again

Players didn't give a **** in the first 30 minutes, not sure what made them give a **** the last 30? Merry Christmas Girlz!

Re: Jackrabbit vs Montana FCS 1st round

Typical Jacks. Not ready to play. Run on 1st and 2nd down then be 3rd and long. Run the same play when everyone knows it's coming. Stupid penalties and don't let playmakers make plays. Weineke looked disinterested during the first half. When we need to score quickly, we do two run plays up the gut for two total yards. Stig will blame himself but when does that blame finally get something to change. I could go on and on but just too frustrated. Wait till season ticket renewals and those higher ticket prices and donations. Hopefully Sell rethinks that idea or we will have a pretty empty stadium. Time to drink and get excited about basketball.

Glad to see the team respond they way they did in the second half. However, we still need to learn to step up in the big games. We did not do that this year ouside of the ISUr game. That needs to be fixed in the off-season.

Also, can we utilize the whole playbook instead of a page or two. We are damn predictable.

Dying to hear what Stig has to say about this.....

Not ready to play? ****'em they didn't want to play! They looked like my kids Jr Football team the first half, if that good! The Grizzlies should have been a speed bump, the second half showed that. What a waste of a playoff chance for this team, sulking because things didn't go their way for the playoff selection. That was a cupcake bull**** team and we just handed them a game.

At least we competed for a National Championship.

Whose fault is that?

I echo this statement. Just so frustrating.

Two things for next season:

1. Give TC the keys, he developed this year and will be better next year.
2. Spread out the offense. With a full offseason to implement a spread system, it should be attainable. I will be incredibly disappointed if we come out with the same predictable offense next year.

Fun season, disappointing end. Here's to getting better next year. Can't wait for the new stadium.

Re: Jackrabbit vs Montana FCS 1st round

Disappointing finish, but another good season. The Jacks overcame all the pre-season questions about losing Zenner, Sumner and Schneider. The team has made the playoffs five of six years. That's pretty darn good. Just have to raise the bar a little higher.
