Hawkster

Worked for me too. Thanks for doing this Jim

It's rather sad that apparently we can only do this when the Hawks are in the tournament. I'd sure like to see it again this year.

Sadly I said the same thing about hockey last November when the football team !@#&#036 the bed.

When I first clicked on this thread it brought up last years bracket, and saw North Dakota showing. For an instant I was thinking we were in until I realized it was last years bracket. Good vibes for about a half second though and then the fall to earth.

Gersich

But that was Muss's problem. He got top quality recruits and basically did nothing with them on the field. Case in point, look at his last year here and who he had playing.

Hopefully with better results on the field.

Well at least they didn't blow a 3 goal lead. LOL

You beat me to it.

4-2 St. Cloud. Just hard to be optimistic after the last couple weeks.

I'm positive we're screwed. How's that?

Win one for the Gipper. Oops, wrong sport.

Boy, did you just step in it. No "W" is ever going to admit to being "O".

Check the link below. It's Hero Sports subjective call on the top 50 FCS schools ranked according to this years recruiting class. Please tell me where SDSU is on that list. PLEASE! I see South Dakota at 25 and all they have is the Dakota Dump. I see a lot Sky teams on there, heck even NDSU made the list. So where's SDSU with those great facilities? SDSU actually did better recruiting back when they still had the old CAS stadium and portapotties https://herosports.com/fcs/recruiting-national-top-50-fcs-teams-2018-ajaj#1

The Jackrabbits made it to the playoffs almost every year since they moved up, and they even won a playoff game a lot of years until they ran into NDSU. From what I've heard about the old stadium it was less than great. I'd say the Jacks got further this year because they were opposite NDSU in the bracket rather than having a shiny new outdoor stadium.

No one is against better facilities, but who is going to pay for it? We just cut numerous sports and had to switch conferences because of a lack of money. Additionally, coaches salaries are far below other successful D1 schools. Again, we are short of cash. I don't understand why that's so hard to comprehend.

That's certainly a plus.

I agree, it doesn't matter how good your facilities are if you don't have the top caliber players to utilize them. Any who thinks they will come if you build it is mistaken. Bubba needs to sell the package, not the buildings.

You forgot injuries.

I know, it's not the end of the world, but I always liked the spring game to build excitement for the upcoming season, but I know what you are saying about playing second fiddle. We can't even get the spring game televised and NDSU does. A lot of it comes down to marketing

Look at the wiki on the home page. Correct dates too as far as I can tell https://wiki.siouxsports.com/doku.php/football/2018_schedule

I'm not sure what to make of this, it's the subjective list of the top 250 FCS recruits from Hero Sports. We have one, Bruner at #46 and that's it. It appears that several of our neighbors have a whole lot more on there. I've sorta been questioning Bubba's recruiting philosophy all year and would sure feel better if we had more players named. Now I know someone's going to pop up and say well this will make our recruits play with a chip on their shoulder. IMO, that chip should have been there in high school already. At any rate, it's interesting reading even if it is subjective. https://herosports.com/fcs/recruiting-national-top-250-fcs-recruits-2018-ajaj#1

I was thinking we're better off if they leave and we can start over with new talent. It can't get any worse and very likely would be better. Bring in new boys that can get something done.

I remember last nights OT

Well, don't just leave us hanging here!!!
