Matt

the jacks have not achieved a first down in the second half.

Glad to see he at least has some pride.

At least MSU has the decency to acknowledge this game was over at halftime and benched their starter...so that's another low point for this program.

7-0 ndsu end of 3 Zenner with 1 yard rushing. One.

Officially the laughing stock of the conference: Colter Nuanez ‏@Bobcat_Beat 1m Like I said on my podcast this morning, UND is just the medicine the Bobcats needed. 42-7, MSU at half. Utter dominance

Is it a coincidence every opponent seems to have an offensive player go off for a career day? The UND defense...the cure for what ails you.

...and cue the party on the UND sideline.

This team which this staff has hand picked is just not very good. It isn't just youth. There have been plenty of young high impact players in this league. Either the staff is striking out badly on the recruiting trail, or they can't coach them up properly. Remember, this game is with two weeks of prep time.

7-0 NDSU at half. Jacks with 104 total yards. -4 yds rushing Not even sure what to say about that.

Stop me if you've seen this movie before. Opponent comes into the Al, punches UND in the mouth early, UND abandons the game plan, opponent runs at will and bleeds the clock, while teeing off on the QB cuz everyone knows they must throw. Winds up a 3-4 possession loss. I miss anything?

7-0 ndsu

Jacks with -9 yds rushing in the first qtr.

Can someone describe the pick? Another bad Mollberg decision or was it tipped?

0-0 end of 1

Jacks are throwing the ball all over the place. Thought they'd have more confidence in zenner.

I can't speak to the motivations of the players, but again, when the coach himself is telling everyone that the team isn't giving the best effort on the field, we have to ask why. Why aren't the players giving their coach the best effort they can? Mark my words, fans will be looking back on the past two seasons thinking "there were red flags all over the place, how did we not see this train was heading off a cliff?"

Fun game: drink every time you read/hear a Muss quote about a team that recently whipped their a** but "they didn't get our best effort". Dangerous for a coach to tell everyone your team isn't giving their best effort.

MSU is foolish if they bring him back. The UND defense has been like the Vikings D-the cure for whatever is ailing you. If Bleskin is worth a damn he performs well vs UND. I suspect this is a bluff.

I'm hoping someday griz fan will care enough to argue.

This is often the tipping point for removal of coaches.

Tell me about your run game. If you have one at all this game will get lopsided.

You are underestimating the ferocity of college football fans. This isn't simply a media event. The college football audience is massive and passionate.

That makes sense. It was odd there were banners hanging there with no people in such prime real estate for this event. If a sioux fan put it there why didn't they stay, and if ndsu fans occupied the room, why didn't they take it down?
