So far, there is a lot of deadweight on this team.

What is your opinion of the quality of these two classes - hardly anyone has stepped up this year - a foundation for success or something to worry about. In addition to the defensive lapses we have a real worry about scoring.

Anyone else a little concerned about the recruiting classes? Other than Jost no one is standing out, many are not scoring, and our defense looks weak not only this year but next.

Our power play is officially milk carton eligible

I've been asking that too and absolutely no one has said a word - makes no sense to me

I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes, but the coaches handling of this goalie talent defies reason. Absolutely no reason he couldn't have gotten any work so far. Cam is showing himself to be mortal and we just may need Tomak. Anyone know what's going on?

We reload - that's the recruiting idea anyway - where is all of the talent on defense this year - did we get caught short on D - although potentially some good players, no studs on D the last couple of years - what's up

I'm in - Given the fact that Bubba has been hard on the recruiting trail, why are we in this position?

How true - we did it to ourselves and were content to be down the Musshole for quite some time. Rebuilding a winning atmosphere will take time after that mess. Meanwhile, to our south ......

Let's not confuse a "boring offensive philosophy - ground and pound" with extremely frustrating play calling. Even the old school offenses mentioned will throw it when they see 9 in the box. We are extremely one dimensional and that leads to a frustrating viewing experience. No question, our defense kicked butt yesterday, but the continued sloppy play - yesterday on kick coverage and all season on stupid penalties are sometimes hard to watch. After seeing the game Saturday, I sure didn't feel like I was watching a team on a 7 game win streak. If Bubba Ball is about discipline and execution we still have a ways to go.

Rudolf has had an off season as well - hell an off career

I like our team better than some of our coaches - looking at you Rudolf and at whoever coaches kickoff coverage.

Wow - what a horrible power play we have Did we miss-recruit this year? Other than Jost, who is outstanding - While BU sucked up almost every defensive stud in the known universe, the team with the best defense last year seems to come up short. What's up with that. And did Tomek abscond with the church funds? Run off with a Senator's wife, or kill a man? If not why can't he get a try? We looked bad tonight. Not Sioux hockey at all.

With the talent we have had here for the last 10 years, why can't we have a great power play ever?

Anyone else sick and tired of our corners playing 10 yards off - it seems this is beginning to be a tradition here regardless of who coaches. Cowboy up for craps sake.

The athletic teams need those electrolytes.

Sounds like you are happy with the ever popular one yard plunge.

This is obviously over Rudolph's head. Nine in the box and he can't call even for a tight end. What a putz.

When he's in the pocket he locks on to a receiver as hard as anyone I have seen - he's much better on the move.

It's hard to know how to feel after this game - it is nice to see we have some real gamers who are learning how to win. However, we have some things that I feel should be further along in this third year of Bubba Ball - first is self discipline - we play with the same crap behavior we saw with Mussman and penalties cost us dearly. Second - do we have to be so predictable on offense that I want to poke my eyes out? - We can still be a run-first team and vary the plays and keep the other team off balance. Rudolf is a liability. We really need some more talent in the offensive line - many people act like if you recruit good defensive players that automatically means you neglect the offense - bull. Last, we need a QB with some skills. Studsrud in the pocket locks on and never looks to his other options. He has regressed. Time to put things together.

Could not agree more - this was one of the big selling points of Bubba Ball

It's the 4th game of the season and we still haven't scored an offensive point in the first quarter - Looking at you, Rudolf

It's like Rudolf has some kind of mental obsession with 2nd and 9

When all of the expense of renting the Ralph was laid off on Men's Hockey with Women's VB, Women's BB and Women's Hockey assessed nothing for rent for starters.

This shows Rudolf at his best.
