Playoffs 2016: Nova

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Sure do and our progress continues in the right direction. New attendance record; added another year of playoffs, advancing to another round for the first time. What's not to like?

I know who JackMD's sources are and they are reliable. Go back and read my post: we don't know whether those sources have good information. Maybe they do. I haven't talked to them and don't intend to talk to them. You say that my statement of opinion that JackMD's sources are reliable is the same as attesting to the validity of what was said? Really? I didn't talk to them on the topic.

I may push back when I see NDSU fans come in here and throw a stink bomb for no reason other than to cause a little trouble. That's trolling. It's not surprising that some troll shots were taken in the game thread too. No surprise based on our performance yesterday. Play like we did and somebody is going to do a little trolling, a little rubbing it in.

i was at the game and watched most of it again last night. We are not on the same level as the Bison -- yet. But we've once again closed some of the gap. I certainly recognize people won't share my opinions and I won't agree with everyone else's opinion.

JackJD, I was curious if you might be willing to post thoughts on the disparities between us and the Bison in the "Next Step" thread??

For instance, I think Jacks' losses of seniors on the DL give the Bison the edge on paper going into 2017; QB and RB could be considered a pick 'em -- I think Christion has the edge and is a better overall athlete, but NDSU may use Stick more effectively overall, at least schematically. WR/TE is decidedly in Jacks' favor with LB's, DB's, and OL dependent on whether Jacks' players continue making strides we saw at times this season.

Sure I remember what I wrote a few years back. That's bothered you more than once. Our progress continues in the right direction. New attendance record; added another year of playoffs, advancing to another round for the first time. What's not to like?

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

The report of an assertion of fact made by someone considered credible does not necessarily mean the reporter is attesting to the veracity of the assertion. People otherwise known to be credible can pass on information that has no basis in fact. JackMD essentially said he had heard something from someone he considered credible. He didn't claim first-hand knowledge of the fact asserted. Got that? How you can jump to the conclusion you make is trolling, gabe01? [I'm not interested in a response to that question, gabe.]

Today I'm not tolerant of trolling by a Bison fan.

There are risks inherent in discussing rumors. One may be participating in spreading worthless junk even though it was heard from a credible source. One may be spreading something that turns out to be partially or wholly accurate --and the source was someone who is not credible.

I am not particularly fond of the gossiping that can go on in a message board -- bunch of old ladies on a 1960s telephone party line (Or so I've been told.�� ). At the same time, I recognize that gossip and fan messages boards go together like peanut butter and jelly--most posters like it.

It seems to me that the gossip spread in the past couple of days has gone about as far as it can go without some confirmation from someone who knows first-hand the actual facts. But, that's just me. If others want to continue kicking the story around, I won't stop it. I may stop some interloper using the gossip to accuse a reputable Jacks fan of trolling.

When a poster says they can "assure" us their sources are reliable how in hell are they not attesting to the validity of said rumor? Jack MD may not have been trolling but to rip Gabe for calling him out is crap.

Why not write another epitaph about how we are overtaking the bison. Remember that gem you wrote a couples years back?

It was as ridiculous then as it is now.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I can promise you my sources are reliable. I'd tell you what I know but I just don't see any upside to it. Let Stig, the AD and the team decide how they want to handle it and make the announcement when they're good and ready.

Care to eloborate? You gloat about how reliable your sources are but yet no one seemed to miss the game....

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

So basically JackMD trolled his own fan base?

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Tyler Merriam alluded to the questionable nature of the rumors, as can be seen here (referring to the "don't believe everything you hear" reply).

It didn't seem like the interior DL was gashed as much as the edge on some of Stick's runs, and DB's had trouble shedding blocks -- thought there were a couple possible holds there were not called on the Bison on some intermediate to longer gains, but I am biased. It seemed like interior OL was fooled by a couple stunts or overpowered -- consecutive sacks of Christion stick out in my mind here.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Are we ever going to hear who those reliable sources were ?

I heard third hand that we should not make to much of this because in one case, there was not a smoking gun violation. I suppose, as a for instance, that an individual could take some over the counter cough medicine and it might show up on a drug test as a illegal substance. I suspect we may never hear about this again. So reliable sources? CNN has a program Reliable Sources, if that is any help.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Which players were out today? Is that why the lines struggled?

Zim made it sound on twitter he would be surprised if all staters were not in starting lineup.

You cant just keep us hanging here. Well, you can if you want to. I don't need full detail, but at least let us know if we are talking 3 starters. Pretty please....

Well that doesn't sound promising.

No it does not. JackMD is a reliable source.

Hate this. Sounds like incredibly poor decisions from some individuals.
