Excellent post. There's a big difference between constructive criticism and bashing the coaching staff. Most of the comments seem to fall into the latter category. We've got a first-year DC and a first-year OC, both with a lot of potential, I believe. Both the defense and the running game have started to show improvement the last couple of games; the defense held EW to 200 yds. below their season average. Excellent improvement. Even with experienced, new DC's and OC's, it takes time for their new system to take hold. We're only halfway through the season; let's give these guys a chance to see what they can do the rest of the way.

Who/what is Ceighton?

Don't forget Jones. I wanted to beat you-know-who to the punch .

I think it's time for an email campaign; doesn't do a ton of good to vent on this board (although it usually feels good ). With the kind of money the REA/UND takes in on game days, I think this decision wasn't very well thought out, both from a PR standpoint and from the standpoint of the comfort, convenience, and safety of our uber-loyal fans.

Looks like its Cole Stefan, a 6-4 guard transfer from Wis.-GreenBay.

Jayson, where are you??

Updates would be greatly appreciated, especially until we can get the game on Big Sky TV. Thanks.

Thanks. Per my edit, above, I misread it and thought that this was a basketball recruiting thread.

Just curious--what "coaching situation?" Edit: Oops, sorry; I misread it and thought it was a basketball recruiting thread.

They will be. Sioux 38 MSU 35

S. Dak. St. with over 190 yds. total offense still in the first quarter at Nebraska. Fire Pellini, fire the DC, fire everybody. Zenner already with over 100 yds. rushing.

You have us 0-1 in the Big Sky, but the Montana game was nonconf.

Nah, you're a little early; the armchair coaches won't be calling for the heads of Coach Jones and staff for a couple months yet.

I'm thinking that Coach K. will bring about a slow but steady improvement in the D this season and then, as his system/changes become ingrained, we'll be a middle-of-the Big Sky D next season, and one of the top defenses in the BSC by 2015. He'll have to add 2 or 3 (top) new parts each season in order to accomplish that.

Don't you think he deserves at least a full season? He was one of the best special teams coaches in FCS, deserved the promottion to DC, and I think he deserves more than 3 games to prove that he can turn our defense around. And I think he will.

Well said.

South's roster lists Johannesson at 210 lbs. and I don't doubt that he's an FBS prospect after Saturday's performance. The radio announcer was almost in awe.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to, and respond to, the concerns of the die-hard Sioux fans that frequent this website. I believe that your department is doing an excellent job and will continue to strive to improve the regional/national exposure of UND athletics.

41-38 Sioux; Zeb with the game-winner. We're going to feel the absence of Goodman, Walker, Ratelle, and Stanchik if they don't play if for no other reason than it gives us less depth in a game where it's going to be needed.

Likewise. When you live too far away to get to most of the games, it's a great alternative.

Another Bobcat tweeter says that 9 of their original 2-deep are out indefinitely/for the season. Wow.

Thanks. I agree, many of the skill positions look loaded for some time to come.

geaux_sioux, what kind of upside do you see for Fletcher down the road? Losing Hardin and Townsend after this season, we'll have to somewhat reload. Don't mean to compare the two, but his build seems to be similar to Golladay's.

We DID have a platoon at running back: Miller and Jackson .

Thanks.
