Can't help you on the channel, but do you have the entire city to yourself? Last I heard was that all 100,000 people in Fargo left for that place in Texas.

This game will certainly show what they've got. Tough team on the road, so play good guys.

If staff changes never needed to be made, no NFL coach would get fired. However, that seems to be what frequently happens, and many times things turn around quickly after that.

Rowney for Friday

I can't believe this is even a topic any more! The game hasn't been played in what, 10 years? We have our games, they have theirs, so let's just drop it until we should ever meet in the playoffs.

Who's to say things won't revert back to the 2011 offense and keep the 2012 defense? Just saying that changes have to be made to see changes.

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, you can't expect different results when you keep doing the same thing. Looks like nothing is changing for next year. GRRRRRRRRRR

Maybe the D recruits could meet with the goalies after the game to get some insight on what D means here. Of course, that's assuming we have the "hot goalie" that night.

All through the transition we heard that things will get better once the transition is over and we are in the BSC. I got jumped on earlier for calling 2012 an epic failure, but I still feel that's what it was. We only had 4 D1 wins and without major, major changes next year will be similar. I'm not saying we have to dump all the coaches, but those coaches are going to have to use a different strategy. If we don't make the playoffs next year, I really think heads need to roll. Chest bumps aren't going to cut it, we need results.

Kristo for Friday, Knight for Sat.

Do we need to put a Fire Jones thread next to the Fire Muss and Fire Hak threads?

How much time is left?

I have a feeling SH is going to do to EWU what it did to MSU last night.

I saw the moon too. What good does that do?

Split wasn't that bad, all things considered. Could be better, but could be worse too.

Yes, but they didn't have a D2 either like we did. I'm not so sure that makes our schedule the killer you make it out to be. The Mines game will bug me for a long, long time.

So you're saying the whole team was there last night? (God I hope not)

Is everyone going to quibble over one word? Overall, this season didn't live up to expectations, and if you add up all the problems, well you get the picture.

How about we compromise and say neither were needed?

Holy cow, things are going faster than I can read

Not what we needed, that's for sure.

Well, I never said reading comprehension was my strong suit!! I don't know how I missed his name when I looked.

And, how long have you been waiting for game 2 to begin? Real fans check this board after every game because you just never know.

This whole season is an epic failure. -The team finishes below .500 and of course no conference title or playoffs. -Two embarrassing major blowouts -Still no FBS win despite several years of trying -Lose to the conference doormat -A defense that is among the worst in FCS -Out coached at every level It may be unrealistic to think things will get drastically better next year. Muss will almost certainly be back, and we start out with a totally inexperienced quarterback. I don't think this is doing wonders for recruiting either.

I have never figured out the SMSU problem with football. I remember 5 or 6 years ago they lost to Moorhead at a time when the Dragons hadn't won a game in like 2 years. It's not like SMSU has no commitment to athletics, they made a heck of a run in the D2 basketball tourney a few years ago and I was at the basketball game in Marshall when SMSU beat Jones. One would think there would be plenty of D2 caliber kids to pick from in that area.
