GDT: SDSU v SIU

Re: GDT: SDSU v SIU

Im going to go all NDSU here. No not blame the refs, but the uniforms. More exact the blue pants. I love the yellow pants at home, it looks so sharp. I can understand wearing them for hobo day and rivalry games, but this is the biggest game we have had ever at home in recent history and we wore the avg looking uni's. I know its lame and I laugh at my self for thinking selfishly but I just think they look sharper and played sharper when they were wearing the yellow pants. Oddly enough I like the blue pants on the road. and not the yellow.

there is my superstiousness comment for the day.

Re: GDT: SDSU v SIU

I felt that Crawford deserved to start and played well enough to keep the job before the injury and deserved every chance to get the starting job back after the injury. With that said, I think TOB offers a great chance for us to win when hes in with his arm. stats wise i think either performs just as good as the other, but his down field throw is what makes him more of a weapon with the play book. now if the O line can give him enough time for that.

Is it just me and my old man who felt like the 5 yard out routes have been a little to much of the game plan this year.? the SIU D didnt have to really work to hard if they would watch game film and know thats a majority of our play calling. the pass plays that seemed effective and gave the receivers some room were in the middle of the field. Where was the Flash and Rabbit Offense? no different formations, no options, no check down for the receivers. just up the middle running and slant passes to the side lines. the TE use is an improvement, keeps the D honest, but shifting TEs on running plays pretty much tells you which side hes running too, which way does the full back run and he follows, gets easy to plug a gap when you see where they are heading. where is the split back backfield like we saw with minnett and koening a few years ago, could Duffy or Kool not be a option to make teams guess what the play is more. Why not hand it too the full back once to see if he can sneak a few yards on a close yardage play. Seems the offense has gone back to conservative with the play calling that it had years ago and away from the different look packages we had for a few years at least.

Sorry for the long post but if we want to win and make the play offs, 5 yard out slants and obvious running formations are not getting it done.

What about blitzing on pass plays to maybe take away the QB abillity to scramble. When then blitzed the NDSU game and UNI game i thought that is when the D was at least best, our corner coverage and safety play is tight enough for the pass usually so why not use a group of atheletic skilled linebackers keep constant pressure on the QB and run game with blitz packages from all over the field. To me it seemed to be our most effective game plan on D.

I agree, I cannot stand the all blue smurf look. The yellow pants look really sharp. We could go Oregon and go with yellow helmets sometime! Now wouldn't that be quite the look! Just a thought.

No, the answer is no. Go do your homework.

Come on, it'd be a different look. Yellow helmet, blue tops, yellow bottoms. Think about it.

Sounds like McNeese State

Since I enjoy humor of the more absurdist/observational kind, I can't help but notice that your board name is "bigblue" but that you "cannot stand the all blue smurf look."

I'm not trying to rag on you at all, it's just that this hit my ironic humor sensor bigtime.

I actually tend to prefer the all-blue "smurf" look over the banana pants on most days, but I give plenty of slack to allow for people with better fashion sense than me . . .

Thanks filbert, I can see how someone could laugh at my name after reading my previous posts. Actually, I just pulled my name out of the air one night. There is really no reason behind it. Next time I'll have to be more creative.

For those interested in uniform aesthetics and such, this blog is a great read. It used to be featured on ESPN once in awhile, but I haven't seen it there for quite some time.

The only time a team should wear all of one color is all white. The Jacks should wear the 'banana' pants all the time. It looks better.

I disagree.

On which part?

Re: GDT: SDSU v SIU

On which part?

I agree with you about the yellow pants. The blue pants with blue jerseys is hideous.

Re: GDT: SDSU v SIU

I like the solid blue look.
