homer

Looks like according to the Herald, coach Lennon will be named head coach on Friday. Not good during recruiting. We where off to a good start too.

I'd blame the lack of defense (99 yard drive for a field goal after the fumble and giving up field position after Denver's punter pinned them at the three before the final drive) (and how lost they looked after Lynch left the game). Or the terrible holding call on Selvin Young's long run down inside the ten.(which was run to Kuper's side by the way) Or running a QB sneak on the final play of the game before the field goal when the defense had the middle stacked. Any of these. Kuper played a great game and its awesome to see him out there. I am a huge Broncos fan and even though they lost last night you can definately see this team improving weekly. They mentioned last night that the Broncos only have six starters out of 22 from exactly a year ago playing right now. I definately like where they are headed and Chris is definately a contributer to that. Keep it up Chris.

I agree with the crap system but no Concordia did not make the playoffs that year. It was the following year they changed the system to add six teams and I do not think they made the playoffs than either. What hurt you that year was that your win against Montana did not count for anything. And all the teams that made the playoffs that year from our region had a better record. Yes, you guys where better than Winnona St. but they still only had two losses going into the playoffs and snuck in and even won their first round game. Also, I am not sure but I would bet $$ you didn't beat Concordia by fifty.

Gabe, which "numorous backups" did you start? I was at my fifth Bison game of the year yesterday and every other position besides Mayes and Roehl looked the same to me. The Bison did kick thier ass but don't try and make it appear to be the JV team that did it. Your starting OL played every possesion except the final two and one of those was a kneel down. The second string defense didn't come into the game until about seven minutes left. Maybe you just don't know how to read depth charts at an "advanced level" but your excuses for why it was only a 35 point game are starting to sound silly. The Bison kicked thier ass like they should have. Don't try to make it out to more than it is. Good luck next weekend.

I second that. Thanks Siouxdonyms. Dan and Tony better look out.

Ball game. Time to get back to work tomorrow, watch tape and correct the problems. Definately not our best game. They made some plays when they had to, I don't want to take any credit from them at all. There's a reason they are number one in the region. A lot of missed opportunities to put some points up and we missed them. Some of it was them and some of it was us.

We need to get it back. Quick.

That is not what we wanted. Time for the D to step up again.

The D has made really big plays when it has had to. Lets go offense. Take advantage. I should say lets finish a drive. We've moved it, now lets finish one.

Have to go for it here because we left three on the field earlier

We need a touchdown now. Lets keep moving the ball and finish this drive.

The word of the day in the first half is "missed". Sounds like missed tackles have hurt us on defense and missed opportunities on offense. The good news about that is those are attitude things and can be fixed at halftime. I hope not taking the missed three points doesn't come into play as a field goal there may have been alright. But Lennon made the call and he has forgot more about football than I know so I will definately trust his judgement.

Those missed points could be big later on.

Sounds like the kid made a nice catch according to the radio. Wow, this is the offensive game I thought it might be.

Touchdownnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

I was hoping that wouldn't happened but UND up front is not the typical UND defensive line this year. Hopefully we can find a way to correct that this afternoon. The talent is there though so hopefully the boys let it all out today.

How does the crowd look? Sounds loud on the radio. Just caused a false start as I was typing.

Alright, the radio feed is back on. Lets go D.

Please keep the posts coming guys. The radios down and i'm listening at work.

Glad I could help. I never said you had to agree with me, I'm just stating what I think after seeing all three of NDSU's games this year and watching them very objectively. Actually cheering for you bison. If that makes me a homer than so be it. But either way glad I could make your day and I'll be in the dome Oct. 6th. Maybe you could come up and join me this weekend at the Alerus for our homecoming and than give me your opinion after only seeing one game.

I saw that game and last time I checked UND has better receivers, offensive line and running back. And after seeing CMU against the bison on the internet gamecast, theres no way they were a better team than Sam Houston St. I can't sit here tell you that UND would beat NDSU, but I'm not going to say they wouldn't either. I honestly think UND would be the best team NDSU has played to date.

Oh burn! Thats a good one. Your momma!!! I've seen both teams play this year (UND-twice, NDSU-twice), I think the score of the game would be in the fourties or higher because neither defense would stop the other offense. Thats an honest opinion from someone who has seen them both more that once, hell I saw them both on the same day. Was in Grand Forks for Central Washington and than drove to Fargo for Sam Houston State. Both teams obviously have their strenghts and weaknesses and it would be a good game. I don't know which team I would pick. Maybe whoever had the ball last. Out of the two defenses, NDSU has a few more talented players but plays with no discipline and UND would definately throw it around on them. Chappell would also be the best running back they saw this year so far and UND's o-line is very talented. NDSU well I think their offense would score a lot of points as well but they would see the most disciplened defense they've faced all year but it would definately not be the most talented they've faced. It would be good.

Just like Northern Iowa was clearly better than UND last year. And SUU was at a different level this year. I've seen both schools play already this year, I didn't see anything that made them clearly better. Maybe this week they will prove something different but right now you sound like the fu%$n monkey doing the talking.

I figured it couldn't. Do these places leave thier turf down all season long because the Alerus doesn't. That's why I asked the question. Someone compared it to "The Bowl" in Bismarck and I know its been an improvement but they don't have to roll it up for anything. Same as the field in Augustana. I think that could be a drawback to putting it in a domed stadium that usually only has the turf down Friday through Saturday maybe Thursday some weeks

Can field turf be rolled up and put away like the turf is now. Don't they have rubber pieces under the field turf for some padding? I would love to see it but these could be concerns. Anyone know the answers to this.
