totally what i thought

TRULY the jacks can barely play a game without losing an all american!! last week ID. this week Bock

and yet und wants to play the starters and throw hail mary's until the last second and they dont get anyone hurt

of course they have MORE THAN GOOD reason to expect that the officials are going to call a PI or unsportsmanlike and give them more chances to pull off a miracle, SO MAYBE we cannot fault them


i mean YES i get playing to the final whistle. i really do!!! but down 21 with two minutes??? calling a punt block against the second team. i think most coaches would consider it a bit questionable

The flip side of this is that Jacks face the prospect of losing the All Americans because of the number they have on both offense and defense.

I think UND probably lost at least two defenders and potentially a WR for next week.

I am curious if media will ask Stig about those late-game sequences.

holy crap, take a breath

YES YES YES they should NEVER do it
and i am going to bet there is a team penalty that they will have to endure this week for this level of failure to control their emotions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but that ALSO DOES NOT excuse the terrible job the officials are doing. it is beyond inexcusable at this point

Oh **** that. Its one of the fundamental things you teach. Don't ever put things in the hands of the refs. Spalding hit was a hit, the rest after it was crap. Glad to have Tucker back....Don't ****ing throw a ball in the face of the defender.....you know the basics. Regardless of what the refs are doing you can't give them ammo and almost set up an absurd comeback as well as fire up the opposing team after they clearly ready to throw in the towel up to that point.

maybe you are misunderstanding me somehow

i have said three times the jacks players LOSING CONTROL of their emotions and making unquestionable BAD choices is inexcusable!!! no question if they are playing for me they are doing plenty of running on monday! or actually would have been the saturday after the friday high school game

but the jacks screwing up DOES NOT excuse the officials NOT doing their job. that was without question off setting unsportsmanlike. and without question und got away with many MANY penalties that were not called

so i was NEVER saying what our guys did was ok!!! TOTALLY selfish failure to control their emotions. and the circumstances DO NOT matter!! you MUST absolutely 100% MUST be able to make good decisions in the heat of battle!!!!!
that is the most important thing that sports teaches these kids!!!! HOW to make good choices and do your job in the most difficult most heated circumstances!!!

there was NO lesson i preached more or harder to my teams than that!!! there is NO EXCUSE for not doing your job to the very best of your ability every play, regardless of what anyone else on the field is doing, including the refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but that does NOT give the officials a free pass to do a criminally crappy job!!!!!!!!!!! the officials also need to be held accountable and they contributed to the level of players emotions and put all the players at a higher level of risk

[LetsGoRabbits]

BTW Stig referenced the unsportsmanlike penalties in post game radio when he was NOT asked

having brain lock on what he called them but his point was that they were not acceptable and hurt the team and that he totally EXPECTS these players to do better

the fact that he brought it up on his own as part of an answer to a different question, would show that it is at the front of his mind and i would say will undoubtedly be addressed

Now Jacks will likely be out Bock, McGaughy, and Spalding (for 1st half) for Hobo Day

Wouldn't be surprised if Spalding doesn't see the field at all next week.

The penalties but the lack of some penalties not being called seemed atrocious to me!!!

But for one thing I thought it was probably the worst football game I’ve watched in regards to officials needing to review previous plays!! What the hell…Weren’t you guys paying attention??!! Seemed insane!!

I also watched the game a little slightly behind real time so I could fast forward through commercials breaks. But I kept going back as I thought I missed a play… Not so! Very unprofessional to not have all plays for the viewers!!

[jakejc795]

His saving grace could be that Jacks don't exactly have safety depth to sub in at LB either.

I get missing maybe a play the entire game if you're late getting back from a commercial break, but to be so late that viewers miss three consecutive plays is ridiculous.

Tyler just signed off with "pending review," so even our radio folks "appreciated" the review surfeit.

I think they don't have a choice but to play him 2nd half.

Beer note: if you happen to be near an Aldi grocery store...and it sells alcohol...try to pick up the chocolate stout. It's very tasty.

You give yourself two more scoops of SDSU ice cream -- and remind yourself that you're livin' the Jacks "high life"

[jakejc795]

That was my point, unless Jacks want to roll the dice on playing a Hobo Day dime defense with an already thin secondary (being sarcastic)

Should've asked before, you think we see one or more of the Kuslers for signficant action next week?

Hard to say without knowing who all was hurt badly enough to be out next week. I don't think Freeman returned after going out late. Was hard to tell if he dinged his shoulder or took a blow to the head.
