When we had the chance to go up 14-3, and the Bison guy ripped the receiver by the shoulder at the goal line. We should have never passed it, but you don’t miss that when the ball was right there for the receiver.

Wasn’t there a time they took an under .500 team from the Missouri Valley when we were in the Big Sky?

Should have never come to that call. It was clear as day to 12000 people and a tv audience that you can’t just grab a jersey to prevent a touchdown. That call had, “we are not going to call two straight pass interference calls against NDSU under any circumstance”. Gutless officiating!

The offensive coordinator crapped the bed.

I would say Jerry needs to figure out how to grow into having the “it” factor.

Freuchte should apologize to the team. Yes, NDSU grabbed the jersey for interference for us to go up 14-3, but you run the ball at least a couple times.

Funny how we go back to something that worked on one play one time when you absolutely need it, but won’t do it when we have three times toget it done.

NDSU didn’t become a dominant program by getting cute in the red zone, they became dominant by imposing their will on their opponent. How about we become a dominant program and do the same, and tell your O-Line they are going to shove it down their throat because they can!

Isaac saw the huge hole that Seidel went through on the first touchdown and decided it didn’t show enough imagination to further his career, so he opted for something else. Guess what Isaac, nobody wants a coordinator that turns points into nothing!

Was that a block in the back?

That’s the biggest problem, not that it happened, but he never has learned from his stupidity.

Time and again, just head scratching calls. Talk about no confidence in the moving company.

On GPL they said that a former high school and college player was suspected in the assault on Teddy Townsend. Anyone hear who that was?

Also nice they fought through some adversity with the major. Could have really turned the game if they score on that.

Arizona State announcers question an obvious penalty, showing they are absolutely clueless.

Yeah, would rather consistently score a power play goal or two every game, rather than 0fer in a bunch of games then go wild in one.

Yeah, he is doing good things, so hopefully he and Kernan can get their first goals so they don’t have to think about it, and can just let the offense come to them.

Just the extra experience with being about 1 year older across their whole roster than us is an equalizer, then you add in their goaltending, and it is going to be a tough weekend like usual.

I would think Bob has to somehow find a way to at least keep the team from becoming apathetic and giving up. With a young team, if they aren’t at least improving, that makes it more difficult to rebound the next year if those young guys aren’t at least developing. Then you need guys to commit to staying, when it has become all too easy to search for greener pastures. We saw with UND that the vultures from other teams are getting into players ears trying to get them to bolt. Thankfully, other than Boisvert, the guys UND lost were addition by subtraction, but if Dylan James and Livanavage wouldn’t have stayed it could have been a mass exodus. Do guys like Mooney, Ziemer, Ludtke, etc, commit to stay or bolt to Michigan State like a lot of National team, among other players have? This kind of adversity tells a lot about the coach and even more so about the players. Will be interesting to see what happens from here on out.

It wouldn’t be so bad if that hadn’t happened other times where they could have run clock and paid for it by allowing the other team time for the comeback. They were most likely to be up by two scores, whether it be a touchdown or field goal, so might as well run clock.

I’m not the one complaining, as I don’t care one way or another about a “tradition” copied from our rival. The people that are appalled by the salute should take it up with the coaches or the Ralph if they have such a problem with it.

…and you do realize that it was copied from Minnesota, and they apparently only did it after a sweep. That is why they mocked us doing it with a win and tie. Again, gopher arrogance! Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I have seen them do the salute without a sweep now.

Again, you don’t have 13 players drafted without talent. There are probably 8-10 players on their roster that we recruited. Tell our coaching staff that Minnesota doesn’t have any talent they would probably laugh at you. Did we have no talent on our roster last year when we finished the second half of the league? Most players don’t make a huge impact their first two years of college hockey if they come in young. Our team last year even had some of those guys that had a few years of college under their belts. Things going on behind the scenes, lack of chemistry, and player/coach issues all played a part. Don’t know what’s going on in Minnesota now, but I still would bet you see a handful of players at least see some NHL time down the road. Remember how Pinto and company dominated Minnesota in Minneapolis with their young defense in 2019, then those same guys for Minnesota became cornerstones in making a run in the NCAA tourney.

Agree! It’s bizarre that people are so opposed to players saluting fans that showed up. Almost a gopher type arrogance, which was once exhibited by either Woog or Mazzocco questioning our stick salute once when we beat and tied Minnesota. If we want to get real arrogant we can say we should only do a stick salute when we win the big one.

Are you in their inner circle?
