Missouri State QB says hi.

I was. How about Izzy there or ANYONE other than our bulldog running back

As do I ... and I plan on being at all of the games.

We can't make excuses, but we can't ignore injuries. Should Bubba have had greater depth after 3 years is the question, but to lose so many good LB's is really hard to put on him.

Noah Larson and ALL others must RS this year. No reason to pull them.

No one is asking for Schmidt to be canned as EVERYONE understands he does not have the personnel, but the D just flat out sucks now and Will Ratelle aint walking through that door.

I agree that Rudolph is NOT good, but ... Poor O'line play means NO running game. The WR's are not speedy enough to get separation and the QB needs to learn to adjust quickly as the main WR is not open and that's NOT his thing. I think they could be more creative with Santiago in the slot (and NOT Olivera) but any OC coming in would be shocked at the lack of speed or our WR's/TE's

This D would have trouble stopping great HS running backs. I'm just worried about the recruits we had in from Wisconsin today. Will they come here? Or maybe it's a good thing-anyone on D will think they can come in and play next year as will anyone that is a WR or QB or O lineman.

My only hope is they do NOT burn a RS on Noah Larson or any other freshman. This is gonna be a dead year and we just regroup for next season.

I think it was a wrist or maybe elbow. He came out about the 2nd or 3rd possession. Medical redshirt???

I think most posters believe in the team, but who can ignore the play of last week? How could a talented team play so stupidly, lethargically and timidly? Add the injuries which also can't be ignored and you have a fanbase that's very concerned. I'll be there tomorrow; I'll support the team, but I hope to God I never see the team I saw last week.

So he could be a LB?? I think so.

Forecast is rainy and windy for Saturday. Will reduce tailgating and possibly attendance.

But they scored!

I like the idea, but the way our D is playing, it won't matter.

Worst I've seen and I'm done watching. Team was COMPLETELY UNPREPARED to play today. That D is NOT vaunted and the O is a train wreck. You can talk up Studs but watch him lock on the receiver and the ONLY time he gets off him is when he's running for his life.

Any estimate as to how many Hawks fans are there?

Wish we had some of those LB's from last year.

John Chenal just decommitted.

Gonna be a bit evasive here. Either UND by 10 or USD by 1

Btw, I loved the 4:00 start time. I wonder if the students show for morning tailgating when kickoff is at 1:00 and they are still recovering from Friday night. I wouldn't have 25 (or so) years ago.

Me. Just stood there taking it in and wishing I was 30 years younger.

I also had negative comments about Stusrud last game (and last year) but yesterday was very good. I believe it was the last passing TD in which he had a receiver coming across the field, saw he was covered and went to the second receiver in the EZ for a TD. He looked off his primary guy a couple of times I noticed. Btw, was anyone else surprised to find that Oliveira had 165 yards? I knew he was going well, but didn't think it was that many. Sorry to hear about your game day injury Ira. Did it happen tailgating? I loved the students section and stood there watching and dreaming I was young again along with my 50+ year old friends.

With all the injuries does this mean more RS pulled or the next man up not a true frosh?

We went to the south east entrance. Lines were long but for the most eastern door. It was moving so fast, I asked if it was for some type of special ticket but realized there are no special tickets and walked right in. The lines for the Rhombus beer/roast beef concession was long as always (didn't have Rhombus last year) and I wish they could split the beef from the beer and have 2 separate ones.
