An accurate assessment - and although I certainly am not giving up on us, I do have some frustrations about this game. - Maybe we over-hyped ourselves in the off season - new indoor performance center, third year of Bubba Ball and all, but this team looks to have taken a step backwards in some areas. I get that we played a tough defense, but we missed making the plays that were there for us. I thought that part of Bubba Ball was being assignment sharp - here not so much. And Bubba really needs to find a way to win these very important and winnable games - we saw a few last year and now this. We have dug ourselves a hole we need to climb out of and it starts this week.

Or ...... someone could just say who - it isn't bashing a player to note a play in which he got beat.

I'd love to know who

In the third year of Bubba Ball, and after what seemed like an eternity down the Muss Hole, it is high time we stop pissing away games like this and learn how to get it done. No excuse for some of the play we saw including getting a punt stuffed for the loss.

If it is the same Studsrud that played this week we are in for a world of hurt. He is a Junior with experience now and needs to up his game considerably. Some of the worst QB play I have seen was on display this week.

That should fall on the coaches - although Bubba still has a bit of teflon around him

Step one = get better guys

We need to make sure a quarterback gets on the bus

It kills me to say this, but one thing separating us from the championship team down south is that their quarterbacks show up for big games - starters and back-ups. How long have we been having QB problems?

After all the hype - this is what we get? Could not be more disappointed

But - I thought with our new indoor practice facility we would be a finely tuned machine

So far Studsrud has shown us squat - I'm a little worried with all our eggs in his basket

I'm on the whiskey too - I know it is the first game, but with all of the "leave no doubt" hype I had hoped we had seen the last of this kind of football at UND.

I send an email to President Kennedy and I urge all on this form to do so too - we can't let Aerospace, Med School, and Sociology determine the future of Sioux Athletics.

Based on UND's less than proud tradition of doing what is right, I would lay about 100-1 odds against them actually eliminating Women's Hockey. There are not many Universities in the country who are willing to pound 1.4 million a year down a sink-hole with no possibility of turning it around.

With how many Mini-Ditkas?

Since the twins left, we are usually 10th in an 8 team tournament.

Sucks Donkey

Actually, I think it fits the total situation perfectly - and (I'm reading in here) expresses what many of us feel about the processes involved at UND starting with the job the "committee" did on the nickname and including Fast Eddy being the only opinion on picking our crappy logo. Many are glad that the media is finally standing up to this crapfest and is taking the evasive "I'm out of town and won't explain, but I am forming a committee) message to task. Nice job, Tom.

Should I be worried that McFeeley is starting to make sense to me?

For knowing nothing about the circumstances, it is a fine line between discipline and shooting yourself in the foot.

Stoning it is

I will never vote for a downtown library

When the team is playing well the crowd noise can be a huge factor - especially on "third down and long". You can be a part of that - and support a coach who bleeds UND Green and is a great guy

I hope everyone gets these
