Flanders TD...holding call vs. SHSU.

Another marginal PI call vs SU. As a sports fan hate to see stripes completely dictate a game w one questionable call after another

Seems like the guys in stripes trying to get their 15 minutes today on the Deuce. Pathetic all the way around.

SHSU cashes in on blown call...10-10.

Horrible call on SU on an INT. Big break for SHSU.

SHSU best defender and leading tackler goes down w a knee...SU runs it in few plays later. Jensen from 20 yards out. 10-3

Williams w a pick on a poorly thrown jump ball.

3-3 early 2nd.

Exactly...been greatly exposed in last 2 games. And Jensen cannot keep playing like...Jensen if SU is going to win but boy is their D good.

As a GB fan, my take is Minny gave everything that had last Sunday. Was perfect storm for them. Got lead and held ball all 1st quarter. I just have a hard time believing Ponder best ARog in playoff game at Lambeau. Woodson and Cobb are playing. AP is wildcard...and if he gashes GB for 175+ again and Vikes win DC Capers needs to be looking for a new job. IMO one of 2 games will play out. GB blowout or Vikes win late likes last week. Will be at Ralph but will be keeping tabs. GO PACK GO!

Thanks

Can this upcoming game be found on cable TV?

Park on top line moves Kristo to off wing. Will be interesting to see how the Mac boys w O'Donnell mesh. Think this one will be tighter than it should be. 3-2 Sioux. Clark plays well again. I would like to see Colton w Rowney and Drake tonight. Gaarder, Jim and the General as 4th line.

I'm all for optimism, but 4 of UND's first 6 game are vs. the Jacks, Griz, Cats and EWU. I understand they are all at the Al, but... Next year's season IMO will shake out in the 1st 3 games...Valpo is a win, but the next 2, Jacks and Griz, will tell us what to expect the rest of the year.

Fair enough...a good OC in no way translates into a good HC. To his credit he has held the student-athletes to a high standard. I see a 28-26 record, some horrible losses, poor coaching decisions that have costs HIS players potential wins late in games and no signature win in 5 years. I see your side, but...

What is this equity that you reference? Please elaborate...

The talent of the teams and overall ofeensive skill we played in 2011 vs. 2012 was night and day too. I would say the 2011 D would not have done much better vs. the 2012 schedule than the 2012 D did. Just my opinion...

Better talent generally translates into all those mentioned above...to some extent. I watched the Sugar Bowl last night...Florida had sick talent on D but little FB IQ and execution from what I saw. Now was that a player issue or coaching issue??? If UND brings in or has better talent next year I don't think that automatically translates into a better defense.

We didn't tackle better than a Pop Warner team...put that on who you want. I watched game after game, with our D playing 2 deep safeties with our corners 10-12 yards off the ball. Any team that could play basic pitch and catch shredded us. Any team that could get the edge running the ball killed us. There were obviously some weak links on D...not to call anyone out, but as a coach you have to scheme to make the most of the talent you have and on the defensive side of the ball, even though we didn't have 'SU talent, we had IMO better talent than what our D produced. I put more of that on the coaching than the kids.

If there are no philosophical/scheme changes defensively, equaling this past season's record will be a stretch. I'm sure we will take some step back offensively for a couple games until our RS Fr. QB finds his groove. The first few games minus Valpo are a tough stretch...hold your breath.

Agree...all this being said I think he blows up on a line with Rowney and Drake and puts up some huge #s in the 2nd half.

When one is as talented as Rocco is and has been able to make those "risky" plays/passes without consequences so far in his career vs. lesser competition, I'm sure he feels he can do the same in this tourney and hasn't made the appropriate adjustments to the increase in overall talent. He hasn't been playing against UAA or MTU the last few days.

On what channel will this be televised again?

Disappointing...this program is more short on talent from a coaching perspective than from a player perspective IMO.

Ummmm...did I stutter??? Gaarder IMO does more on both ends of the ice than Rodwell. Rodwell passes the classic "eye test" but really has not lived up to his billing so far at UND.
