Yeah... why don't we just wait to play Denver next year (0-4 this year) so we can save ourselves some embarrassment. We can't beat them on the road, we can't beat them at home, they are better then us, and I think their season sweep of us has shown that. The best case scenario would be not to embarrass ourselves anymore then we already have and at least try to get a couple wins the rest of the season.

Yes we are mediocre right now, denver will probably handle us pretty good this coming weekend

I think we will be lucky to make the NCAA tourney, extremely hard road ahead

True, hopefully we can manage not to get embarassed that weekend

Ill pay 10 dollars for two of the seats together

lol, we're not going to sweep anyone the way we're playing

Very true, time to get ready for next year

Looks like a split

Exactly, it comes down to being clutch when it matters ( i.e. NCAA tournament) which we have not done and it is evident with all these frozen four appearances with Hak and no National Title to show for it.

Very true, Maybe that's the reason for the 2-4-2 record on Saturdays?

Agreed, something's not working, i would have even taken a tie.....

Pathetic...

Oh wow... and synchronized swimming, really?

Beat Poly and Davis?? That's funny

I kinda figured this start was too good to be true, being shutout by UAA is pretty embarrassing...........

Apparently we think we can just take nights off, maybe this is the real sioux?

And yet, it seems to me like this is another laughable game for fighting sioux football Thank God for Fighting Sioux Hockey

I understand what you are saying, and me growing up in a football atmosphere in the Pacific Northwest I enjoy top level football as much as the next person. But you have to understand, this is not top level football. Even in our wins this year at the Alerus It has been extremely frustrating to see teams just steamroll our defense, then add today when we all the suddenly forgot how to tackle. First, you have to attract the students with something to watch, and by the looks of today we don't have much to offer. Second, hockey is first and will always be first in popularity at UND. Third, we do not have anything that would attract top level athletes to Grand Forks for football. Of course there is the occasional exceptional athlete(Ismael Bamba) that will show up but for the most part we are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to recruiting. I'm not trying to be mean or rude, just realistic. Following college football recruiting for the last 8-9 years you get to understand and see the pattern of how it works along with who gets the players and who doesn't.

From a sideline perspective: This is a very simple diagnosis of the game today and our current team: We missed countless opportunities and made multiple stupid decisions(penalties etc.) that allowed USF to win the game. USF is not any different than the last two opponents we have played. Granted, their QB can run, but we can't tackle so it doesn't really matter. If we have played our game this would have no doubt been a Fighitng Sioux victory. Case in point: USF snaps the ball to the back of their own endzone, easy safety right? Nope, they manage to get the ball all the way back to their own 2 yard line with 4 missed tackles from UND to show for it. Not mention USF ran the same screen play about 6-7 times, you think we would have picked up on it.....

It looks like consistency will be key for the rest of the season in order to show the rest of the country that we belong with the nation's best.

Let's hope his does the same!

Just a quick not I thought you all would like to see Drew Stafford making the 2008 USA Men's Hockey Team http://www.usahockey.com/Template_Usahocke...3&id=227158

It all really depends on how bad the MCL is and what kind of surgery and recovery he is going to need. Obviously, yes Edmonton would probably pick up the surgery tab on certain conditions but they also might want him to stay and make sure he can rehabilitate and play at the same level. Just thank God it wasn't the ACL (Trust me, I know)
