Always thought we wouldn’t know a turning point until we win on their soil, much like the Ryder Cup. It’s too soon to know what can be done in the off season to improve, but who has any confidence that we could go into the FargoDome and not be embarrassed by them putting up 40-50 points? The confidence from the game here seemed to be an emotional flash in the pan, which pretty much summarizes Bubba’s tenure.

We see how hard it is to defend a dual threat quarterback, but we are totally limiting our offense because we throw most of our passes within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage and our quarterback only runs when he is forced to do so. It is surprising that we can run the ball as well as we do. Like I said before, having a game manager quarterback is fine if you have a lights out defense. Our defense play like the lights are out, because they can’t seem to find anybody.

So we keep running a 3-4 defense and we don’t have the personnel for it, but we did in the D2 days, so it should work in Bubba’s mind.

Danny is really happy with the leadership, but if he was being a leader himself he would take responsibility for preventing us from taking the lead.

I just think it constantly shows that this team doesn’t carry itself as a team that can win a championship. Their “oh no not again” body language gives it away. Even with middle of the pack talent, you should be able to get off the field on third and long situations.

Then why build all the facilities if it is a geographic problem?

Don’t know if our adjustments worked that great, as Sacramento dropped a wide open pass, and we guessed right on a play that put them in a long yardage situation, and odds were that at some point we would get lucky in them not converting. To me the game was lost when we had a chance to take the lead which would have really had them questioning themselves, and Danny, was, well, Danny!

So trust our defense to stop them? Maybe if you would run the ball, you wouldn’t be in 3rd and long.

How about Bubba micromanage and override anything other than a run on first down.

Questionable? Downright incompetent! NDSU didn’t win their championships by going away from what was working.

Now, he’ll try the delayed draw play.

Just wonder if Bubba is singing Karoke into that headset, because it sure doesn’t appear to be good for anything else, like relaying adjustments.

Season’s over after this game if they don’t come back, so I would think you would use him enough to at least get back in the game.

So we’re not that great at being a physical Missouri Valley team, and to top it off we don’t have the athleticism to compete otherwise.

The thing that gets me, is that I don’t see any leaders on defense yelling “let’s go” and actually looking pissed off at what’s going on.

Problem is you can’t win many games with a defense like ours.

Wow, it’s hilarious every time you post it. You are like that 5 year old kid that does the same thing time after time and actually still thinks it’s cute.

Taking on the body language that our coach often has. Wasn’t defense supposed to be his calling card when he was hired?

Is there a record for giving up the most 3rd and 13 or more in a season?

This is comical.

Yeah, after the missed offsides and this stat, I expect Bemidji to have more of an opportunity tonight. We better be ready for it.

Too bad Bemidji State wasn’t Division 1 when Dixon Ward was around, otherwise the headlines would have written themselves.

Does Bemidji not have guys up in the booth looking for places to challenge calls? Even if they don’t, you have nothing to lose there. Bemidji’s players have to be wondering who is going to bat for them. Have to believe Serratore will apologize to his players for the oversight.

Don’t they get another timeout in overtime, or if you use yours in regulation is that it?

St. Cloud announcers discussing about how nice it was that they brought back these beauty retro jerseys. Off course they were also saying that our number one ranking doesn’t mean much because they lead the league.Then after Michigan beats St. Cloud, Jim Rich adds that they took game one between the powerhouses.
