Re: GDT: @ USD Coyotes
I'm just as disappointed in yesterday's result as any Jack's fan. And I'm not excusing it in any way. It absolutely sucks.
But just a few short years ago, we all would have been pretty stoked to be playing a first round game again in November. Obviously, we had it all in front of us yesterday and we wasted it. Our road just got a lot tougher and we probably aren't going to make the type of run that we wanted to in the post season. But, we've now made the playoffs 8 years in a row. And top 5 program or not, some years are going to be tougher than others and this is one of our tougher years. I'm thankful that a year with this much adversity still has us playing in the field of 24.
Losing to those rat bastards sucks, and I'd be lying if I didn't say it feels like are one step behind the truly elite programs. But at the end of the day, no matter what expectations are, we cheer for this team, and this team still has shot in the post season to win some games. The negative energy around here is understandable, but unnecessary. If you think the team doesn't read this thread or feel that negativity, you're lying to yourself. Time to forget this game and focus on next week.

Mikey, Evan, Rozeboom et al need to come out and show the young guys what it takes to get to and stay at NDSU's level.
We have the pieces and walking back off the cliff after that horrible loss to the mangy pups, our biggest issue is ball security.
I do wonder why we didn't try to go deep today and get some PI calls. If I recall correctly, there wasn't one called in the game. We used to get a few of those a game.
Also use your goddamn tight ends more effectively!

Originally posted by goon View PostAfter looking at the stats it's even more frustrating. 500 yards of offense. Heide over 300 passing and a good percentage. But giving the ball away 4 times like that your going to lose no matter how good a team you play. Stats we looked like the better team. Hate that we let their defense look good. Hopefully coaches work on ball control. Not sure if there is away to track individual or team numbers easily but this year has to be a record for fumbles in a season or in recent history. And as an individual jahnke has to be close for most fumbles in a season.

I'm disappointed in the D1 insult. Let's remember that even players who've made pro teams had fumbles that left some of us scratching our heads (and some of those were when they were veteran players for the Jacks).

Re: GDT: @ USD Coyotes
The reality is that we were going to lose to USD at some point. We barely got by two years ago and we had a very good team then. We started this year with an unproven quarterback and we still don't know his upside. Then, the reins of the offense and the destiny of this team were abruptly handed to a young man who a year ago was walking the halls in high school and didn't know that Sexauer is a park in Brookings and not a recreational hour. Add to that the loss of our #1 and #2 running backs, well, it's asking a lot to go into a longstanding rival's stadium and win with our greatest offensive threats on the sidelines. But, that's life and football is a tough and unforgiving game. Most FCS teams are done this weekend and we still have more football to play. That's something to be grateful for.
