This team is so frustrating. Another frustrating day For a little bit of clarity/context 6 pt loss to NDSU at home- should have won.. this one is on Bubba in my opinion and a couple inexplicable calls 7 pt lost to USD on the road- this one is on the Offense some really bizzare play calls.. could have won this game USD is apparently also better than everyone thought.. they are laying a beating on UNI at UNI right now 3 pt loss to the Salukis on the road.. if we had a kicking game or dont drop 2 TD passes, we win this game. (I still think we should have tried that 38 yd fg instead of 4th and 5) No blowouts.. In fact we are all talking about how we could have or should have won all 3 of those games... All three likely playoff teams with likely 2 of the 3 being high seeds. Im not a good loss guy.. but holy crap.. we are not as crappy as a couple people are trying to make it out to be.

We absolutely need to see more Q.. and Q throwing the ball not just running as he is not a running QB. You also have to admit Schuster had a solid 2nd half. 2 Catchable balls dropped in the endzone. If either/both of those are caught everyone is talking about how Schuster is our QB.

ok.. that one wasnt a great call either. I was referring to the kicking game In the 2nd half 31 yd fg blocked 38 yd fg went for it instead of kicking 36 yd fg missed 47 yd fg missed badly. I know this is our backup fg kicker, but we are alos supposed to be a division 1 program. I would expect you would have at least two kickers and maybe more on the team that could regularly make <40yd fg. After the 1st quarter I thought we were getting blown out by 40+. The team fought back and made it a winnable game. Isaiah was awesome.. hopefully not a serious injury.. we have some players in the backfield assuming they arent injured or sick need to see more Quincy.. throwing the ball.. the kicking game.. uffdah.. missed fg's and kickoffs out of bounds Its hard not to be depressed and excited by this team at the same time.

Actually the 4th down where we went for it was on the 20 so a 38 yd fg

Just to be clear.. and maybe for a bit of perspective.. in this thread there were a lot of comments in the early part of the week how we were going to lose by 20+ and it wouldnt be close and we were going to be blown out of our own arena. We were 3 poor play call / play executions from sending that Fargo team back home with an embarrassing loss. going for it on 4th down from our own 20 interception from our QB who normally doesnt make decisions like that interesting reverse call on 4th down Ive got a lot of bison buddies.. and every single one of them that isnt a hopeless fanatic was blown away by our defense and feels incredibly lucky to come out of the alerus with a victory. The bison are not used to playing in hostile environments like that.. They almost always play all of their playoff games in the friendly confines of the fargodome play their away games in stadiums with little truely loud areas and win down in Frisco with 90% of the fans in their crew. By the way.. I dont need responses as to how they beat Iowa etc etc.. I was there.. it was fun. The bison are a good team and have good history. UND is closer than we think.. this is a good team. I love our defense.. lets get the offense to produce.. focus on the rest of the season and get to the playoffs! And by the way.. is there anyway to fix the production at the Alerus Center. I assume most of the stuff outside of the the long beer and concession lines is actually the UND marketing department and not the alerus center.. The half time hall of fame introduction was absolutely embarrassing.

At some point the production at the Alerus has got to get better. They do a nicer job at the local high schools Halftime hall of fame inductees production was embarrassing. To not have them lined up in the order of the announcements was brutal.. to not have any video highlights of these athletes while they were being introduced was unbelievable. No raising of the MVFC banner I assume all four of the bullets above are UND issues.. the long lines for beer and some of the other things are alerus short staffing issues which everyone in the country has right now. I just cant believe we dont have somebody in the marketing department cleaning this all up. A couple of graduate student interns. I go to pretty much every UND home games, a few UND hockey games and a lot of NDSU football games. The difference between those 3 venues and production is amazing.. one of those 3 is not like the other two..
