    Manke

    Even on video tape of the game Belmore looked pretty good. Wow, shredded the UMD defense.

    He did a nice job getting the ball to Dressler. I was pretty nervous though watching Belmore take some of the shots he did after throwing the ball. Considering our backup has played about 2 drives it could have gotten interesting if Belmore went down (assuming that Manke would not play). I never saw him warm up during the game as the backup normally does which made me believe he would not play. Then again by the time I looked up at the scoreboard it was already 28-0.

    Lets see Coach Mussman unemployed, read this....

    not to mention what in his 6 years as OC, lets see 2 trips to the finals, 1 semi-final, and 1 qtr final apperances....

    and oh yea 1 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP..

    Some of you guys ever even play..? or watch football.?

    unbelievable...

    I am just of the opinion that if it were not for our Defense being that dang good that we would have been a much different team in those six years. (Obvious statement I know). We have won numerous games just because of our defense, however I really don't remember too many times that we won a game just because of our offense. And yes I did play football, and yes I do watch football.

    It was probably the best start I have seen the Sioux have in the last few years. I don't think the offensive stagnation had anything to do with Belmore. In the 2nd we had 4th and less than 1 twice about about the UMD 40 and punted both times. We also had another 4th and about 3 and punted. I think it was another classic case of Mussman playing not to lose instead of putting the nail in the coffin. I am not concerned about playing Freund just yet......My gut tells me that they will be opting for a freshman or sophmore next year (Landry or Konrath) instead of Freund. Why else would they not be playing him? I really expect the musical QB game to get worse next year. IMHO that should lead to an unemployment check for Mussman.

    Alrignt - I don't have the exact statistics and agree that the Sioux have won some close ones. It's just that the cpnservative philosophy and play selection drive me nuts some times. We don't have a lot of close games (or games that should be close based on talent) - but look at last year's Omaha game. In my opinion, we lost that one because of our conservative play selection and attitude towards trying to run the clock out. This year's game was very winnable. I feel that our offensive philosphy changes when things get tight and that it doesn't always work out to our advantage. We start playing not to lose instead of playing to win. In my opinion, going for it on fourth and one was a no brainer.

    I have been wishing and saying this for the last few years. My easy solution, fire the OC. Mussman has been blessed with some good talent on offense which is normally used for ball control. I imagine having an agressive quarterback like Manke drives him nuts. IMHO if we did not have such a solid defense the lack of talent by Mussman himself would have been magnified enough that he would need to shine that resume.

    Any Concern?

    I think that the Sioux played well today.

    What QB controversy?

    I think the Sioux played well also. Let's not get too greedy and expect every game to be a Winona State type blowout. Look at the top 25 in the nation. The NCC has half of the conference rated. This is one tough conference to get through, and to lose by 1 point.....settle down. In 2001 and 2003 we had MANY games that were won in the very end (The name Jeff Glas comes to mind) that we could have and should have lost. I will admit that we struggle with the consistency, but overrall this is still a fun team to watch and we will be in every game we play. Let's be thankful we are in good hands with a solid staff, solid D, and an offense that can shows signs of greatness. Maybe give UNO some credit this weekend. After watching the gametape, WE LOST TO A BETTER TEAM THIS WEEKEND. If we play them again it will be a different game and a different result. Don't lose the faith! I remember 2002 when we were 5-6 and not very much fun to watch. We are 6-1 with 3 games left (2 of those 3 should be W's) and should make the playoffs once again. #2 or #3 in the region and still a top 10 team in the nation. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD OR SUPPORTIVE OF THE SIOUX!

    Reed Manke?

    Relax, Chris Belmore had some good games in the past for the Sioux but it is obvious to most people that Reed Manke gives UND the best chance to win. Manke has played great football when healthy this season while Belmore has struggled going back to the second part of last season, although he did play a little better last weekend.

    I'm with you BigGame. The bottom line is that we need Manke to play the entire game if we stand a chance! We have seen too many Belmore meltdowns (UNO & USD last year) and stagnation (Auggie, Washington, and the 2nd half of Mankato). If my math is correct that is 5 1/2 games out of the last six that he has started. No s&!t we need to worry with Belmore at the helm!

    UND will not beat Uno this weekend

    I was at the game yesterday and thought this was as good as Belmore has played in a very long time. With that said, it was a very painful game to watch in terms of the 2nd half. The fumble really wasn't Belmores fault considering he was blindsided and he was nearly in the throwing motion (I will give him a little love on this turnover). Brent H went from not punting in the first half to nearly needing ice on his sore leg in the second half. Our offense completely changes its composure with Mr Belmore on the field. I hope we get our #1 QB back and he is not rusty!

    UNO............point spread..........

    With a healthy Manke (Sioux by 10)

    With a healthy Belmore (Mavs by 21)

    This is the first time since 1993 when I have actually predicted a Sioux loss. Sorry, but in my "maturing" years, reality seems to become more apparent everyday. In the 90's most game predictions were preceded by a 12 pack and usually followed by the statement "I have 4 years of eligibilty left".

    Can't wait for kickoff! I will be at the game so I can't post any updates. Have fun with the thread.

    P.S. I finally figured out why my audio thread was about 40 seconds quicker than the other threads. I have a separate link that goes directly to the radio station which for some reason became my default link when I installed a back up drive. DUMB LUCK!!

    GO SIOUX!

    We all play coaches on TV?

    But I will put my Trust in Dale and his Staff, They obviously feel that Freund is Not Ready yet..?

    Belmore has a very bad confidence problem and is very inconsisitent at times but remains , Like 24-4 as a starter...Alot of schools would drool over that...

    Manke is the Leader the Team has Chosen, he needs to get back , but back Healthy, I do not risk him at Mankato, Because WE NEED HIM AT UNO!.. But that is not my decision..

    I get real tired of people throwing players under the Bus for a bad decision here and there...Chris Belmore has make a outstanding contribution to UND Football...

    As has alot of UND Student athletes...It seems when the next guy in line is better, Our Coaching Staff always finds a way to get them their time on the field, But it is a overall team sport 11 guys executing at once no break downs...And it takes around 75-100 to make the TEAM a TEAM...Go to practice sometime.

    Anyway...Lucky Win...GO SIOUX!~

    Hey Walrus, can I use that speach before a big game? You pumped me up and sent a tingle down my spine! (In a non-sexual way..........Not that their is anything wrong with that)

    Hold on there...

    I don't like what we're getting from Belmore but Belmore isn't a bad QB, he's just horrifically inconsistent. One moment he'll do something incredibly stupid (option play) and the next he'll do something smart (bubble play audible he called on the preceeding play). Letting Freund out onto the field may or may not be a complete disaster for the Sioux. Like it or not, Belmore's bad play hasn't yielded a loss, yet. Undoubtedly it will happen if he continues to play this poorly, but the answer isn't necessarily to bench him completely. The team needs Manke healthy. That's obvious. But pulling a Chicago Bears a few years back (everyone and their mother played QB that year) isn't the answer either.

    Either way, Belmore's days as a #1 QB for the Sioux get smaller the closer to health Manke gets.

    I completely disagree, the only reason we were in the game today was because of the running game. I am 40 lbs overwieght and I think I could manage to hand the ball off to our backs as well as Belmore. I could also one-hop many throws to Dressler and crew with ease. How hard can it be to make about 50% of our plays look like a busted play, roll out, and then miss all receivers by 10 yards. Todays game (and last weeks game) has been a near repeat of the UNO game last year. I admire your confidence in Belmore, but think its time to give Chris a chance to be an All-NCC statistician. I think Freund should be given the nod if Manke is not healthy.

    Even though death row inmates are secluded, I'm know I've heard of them being beaten and in some cases killed by other inmates. I don't know how they get to them but I do know it's happened.

    I hope that the "Dahmer" security school is in full attendance at Indiana!

    The power of the computer cannot be underestimated! I prefer the new version of the sign.

    Some of my 'bison' coworkers thought it was a pretty good joke. They seemed to laugh nearly as hard as when they thought that Rocky was a good coach!

    I for one am nervous about a road game @ Auggie with Belmore at the helm. I would like to see Freund, but I trust Dale.

    If Belmore gives another one of his poor performances I can't imagine that Freund would not start getting the nod as the #2. I agree that we have reason for concern this weekend. I hope Manke gets healthy soon!
