Exactly...and a playoff birth this year is a marginal hope at best.

This is not an isolated incident. If you look back at game after game during his tenure, Mussman continually plays it "safe". You wonder why there is a lack of interest in this team and program? If you continually play to only lose by 7 and claim a moral victory, you lose your fan base. How many time has his teams been in reach of a victory with nothing to lose other than the game itself, only to see him punt the ball away on 4th and 1. The QB issue aside, his coaching performance vs. the Griz was pathetic. I get the QB situation, but if you are still in the game after Marcus goes 3 for 16 for 18 yards, you have to go back to Goska or stick with Marcus and play to win the game. Mussman, IMO, has been a disaster. Undisciplined play with continuous poor coaching decisions and execution is a recipe for one lousy season.

Exactly...my wife's family is from central WI and they ALL still live there. Kind of a twisted, gin and tonic laced cult like group of people in that state!

You can say that about a college athlete but not the head coach of a D1 FB program.

Listened to the post game...Mussman is a piece of work!

This loss is on Mussman more than anyone else. What an effort by the players! Problem is after Marcus is 3 for 16 for 18 yards and you STILL are in the ball game, why not give Goska another try. Playing not to win is a perfect way to phrase it. Marcus was so inept with his accuracy it was embarrassing to watch. My Griz fan buddy who was at the game kept texting me that he couldn't believe UND stuck with Marcus. I liked Marcus' effort, but that is the worst QB performance I've seen in years.

Talked to my buddy tonight. He said Griz a totally different team at home than on the road. He said they pass the ball well...even to the other team. If this game were a road game for the Griz, he'd call it a pick 'em. I called it 38-21 Griz. His call 35-24 Griz.

Giving up a shot is apples to oranges vs. kicking the puck in and thru your own crease on a total misplay of an innocent shot on goal. But roll with puts a smile on your face...

That was all caused by Dell's stupid, careless play of the puck. Don't agree with the call but Hex is never in that position if Dell doesn't misplay the puck so badly.

We look good on paper...

8 1/2 minutes on the PK, another CFB penalty and little jump. Talent won't overcome constant sloppy, undisciplined, uninspired hockey. Getting tough to watch...

Cue the Cam Newton fiasco. Not that UND could recruit any where near that kind of talent nor does UND have $150-200K to get a stud like that! To me, the JC route is nothing more than a band-aid on a gaping wound.

...

Then it needs to start with a "W" tonight if that's going to happen. This team seems to have defensive lapses that cost us at least a goal a game and a goalie miscue that costs us a goal a game. They are not real disciplined as to penalties taken. This team's potential on paper has not been shown on the ice to date. I hope you are right. but...

Agree...2-4 in our last 6 games. Thinking we get anything more than a split would be extremely optimistic.

Where is it being broadcasted on TV???

One of my good freinds is a Griz season ticket holder. He is very excited to see UND on Sat. and even more excited they joined the Big Sky. He said the Griz have been playing "decent" as of late. He feels the Griz will score a bunch on UND but could give up a bunch as well. His guess is Griz by a couple TDs when it is all said and done...and I couldn't argue against that.

UMD is better than DU...who they have played to date is who have have played and nothing more. They are winning the games on their schedule. With the Martin incident...if he gets up, no penalty and no further discussion. Late penalty call all due to the fact he didn't get up. Now with the serious of his condition, Malone IMO will be gone for the series. Nelson centers Trupp and Frattin if that happens I'd guess.

Disappointing news. Happened right in front of our seats. Happened quickly, like most plays in hockey. Was difficult to watch. My girls each prayed fom him last night and our family will continue to do so.

I'll be heading out to western ND to hunt. If anyone finds if/out what channel the games will be on Dish Network, please post it. Split...would be suprised if we got more than 2 points this coming weekend.

Believe he was 19 for 25? But I would say he was hardly accurate. He missed a few wide open receivers and I think I recall him hitting two guys in stride w a good throw. Overall decent, but he is not a "thrower".

Thought of your 6 Dman, he struggled the most. Simpson's the real deal IMO...even without the goal last pm.

What is up with Forbert? In our section last pm, word was it wasn't your normal "illness" and that medical personl were taking a serious look into his situation. Time for BE to step too!

Ditto to all above...pathetic is the only fitting term.

Explain... Agree wtih the Rodwell comment. Davidson is more that solid w Mario's line and have played well together. That line vs. BSU has a consistant of play as any line that night. Think Davidson is very undervalued for what he brings to the ice.
