I would have used a timeout after the kickoff to force one more play into the wind.

Turnovers are 2-0 in favor of the Sioux this quarter, they have the wind, and no score yet with 2 min to go.

As much as I would like to see the Sioux win a championship this year, it has been pretty obvious for some time that the defense is just not good enough.

Someone needs to tell Lennon they are trailing 27-7 and have the wind this quarter.

Poor coaching decisions.

Two extremely costly turnovers, one a fumble returned by GV for a TD, the other a fumble just when it looks like the Sioux were going to score. Basically, a 14 point swing. When we have the wind we almost have to give up trying to run the ball, it's chewing up too much time...seemed to work pretty good for GV in the 1Q, although our pass def is pretty suspect.

That's the game.

Horrible play calling.

Time for a big return.

27-7 GV

Man, they are not taking advantage of the wind at all.

Stop wasting time by running the ball !

Now let's get a turnover. Anyone know what happened on the coin toss. I thought they said GV won the toss, did they elect to go with the wind ?

Why are we running ? Trying to run out the clock ?

Problem is I have seen nothing from our defense this year to make me think they can hold GV under 40 points. Makes it almost impossible to comeback.

I would agree with most of that. The wind does make it more difficult to run only cause it makes the passing game more difficult.

Sioux have to stop the mental mistakes or this will be over quickly.

Sure looks to me that it will be webcast. Go to webcast Click on the image to enter. On the right you will see the football game listed with two links. One of them is to watch the game and it says it is free. Looks like you have to register with them.

Regardless of how the game turns out, the Sioux have a lot of work to do. The US team plays horrible defense and we can't finish off scoring plays. The goaltending is just not up to par with what is needed to contend for post-season success. The defense needs to play a lot better also.

Another goal off a lost faceoff. Team seems to have lost focus. 4-4 now.

Too many bad penalties tonight.

Congrats to UAA, they played hard all w/e and deserved to win. It is becoming painfully obvious that Grieco is not ready to be a regular starter at this level. There is certainly potential there but way too many soft goals allowed this year. Given he is still only 17 I would guess they had planned for Parise to be back this year and Grieco to get another year of juniors. Lammy hasn't exactly looked great this year either. Until they can get consistently good goaltending this team is going to struggle. I think the loss of Berry also hurts quite a bit, the defense isn't playing as well as I would have expected. As for the offense...if you throw out the Mankato series we have just 15 goals in the last 8 games. No better then Wisconsin is doing and I think most would agree the offensive talent for the SIOUX is quite a bit better than the Badgers right now. Real easy to be negative right now after a horrible w/e. I do have confidence in Hak that they will get things straightened out. Getting a little tired of having to get things "straightened out" for the third year in a row, although I will be more than happy if it consistently results in making the Frozen Four. It's the journey there that is driving me nuts. We may have to just get used to this type of inconsistency when we are losing top flight players after just 2 or 3 years.

How do we get outshot 14-3 in the 3rd period ? Pretty sad.

Gotta say it SHEPARD SUCKS!

This is not the 2nd period, it is period 1A.
