Re: Dakota Marker Game
When it comes to close games there will always be those who look for others to point the finger at. As an NDSU grad and die-hard Bison fan, I too found myself looking at some of the calls that went against us, but then I reminded myself that we flat out missed two field goals that had nothing to do with the officials or SDSU. We left six points on the field because of our own doing; no one else to blame. SDSU was the better team this year, but if we take care of our own business, we win the game. Oh well, that was the story of our whole season. It happens.
There is a thread on the Women's Basketball board entitled "NCAA Screw Job" so I would hesitate to start pointing fingers at NDSU for thread topics. The Jack women had one helluva run, and I was behind them the whole way. I would have loved to see them advance further. Questionable calls? Sure. But if they take care of their own business--missed layups and freethrows--then those calls do not matter. No smack intended here whatsoever. But to label everyone as whiners and criers is asinine. Every institution has some--XXSU's included.
I have roamed the boards for a while now, and there are some posters on both sides that just make a person shake their head and wish they were from somewhere else. Best of luck to the Jacks. I root for you guys when you aren't playing the Bison.
