Re: Color Guard
Yeah, for sure they should have been prepared....and like I said, both teams played on that field. Believe me, I'm not here to make excuses for why we lost or how we beat ourselves or any of that. My take on the game is that we aren't a very good football team and you're a well coached team that plays sound fundamental football. Perfect example of how SDSU's season and NDSU's season are different. Domino caught the ball he took for 6....Bowman dropped his pick 6. We have time and time again failed to execute at key points in games. You want to know what Bison fans think shooting ourselves in the foot is ? Stop SDSU on 4th and short and the very next play Mertens makes a terrible throw and you guys take it to the house. Am I saying Domino didn't read the eyes of the QB and make a great play and show he's got good hands ? No. I look at it more like the receiver was already really well covered and Mertens was locked in and trying to hit said receiver anyway and should'nt have made the throw in the first place. Am I saying your defense isn't as good as some of you SDSU fans say it is ? No. Do I think if Pat Paschall had been out there that maybe we could have run the ball a little better ? Well sure, but no one will ever know. Do I think the refs had it out for us just like all the other games we have lost this year ? No. Do I think if we hadn't had X amount of penalties there could have been a better outcome ? Yes. I'd like to think if we had better QB play, the receiver that was wide open on the sidelines would have gotten the ball and went for 6 but instead was overthrown terribly. Do I think Minnett isn't an absolute stud and got lucky that day and that O'Brien isn't a good QB ? No. Do I think if maybe our LB corp was a little healthier and our DB's knew what covering a recevier meant that we could have held you to fewer points ? Yeah. Does any of this line of thinking make sense to you guys ? We know your a good team and I don't have a problem admitting you're better than us. It's hard to say that but it's true. But, and you knew there would be a "but", you'd have to admit that we seem to find ways to make it increasingly difficult to win ballgames. I don't think that takes away from the value of the other team does it ?
