Other than the one time where Otis had to sit because of a missed meeting, what else has he done? I'm not saying that is excusable, but that is hardly being "nothing but a distraction".

What have we done thus far to prove otherwise? It has be a season of "almosts". Almost beat the Bison. Almost beat SIU on the road. Almost beat USD. Even Utah St, where we started hot. This team has not put together a full game in the games that matter most. NDSU was definitely a full game, but between Tommy's INT and Bubba's boneheaded call, we blew it. USD was definitely not a full game effort. They didn't really show up in the SIU game until the 2nd quarter. Those are the kinds of things that need to change. That talent is there for the most part, but the team needs to play a full 4 quarters.

Everything I've heard is late round, but I suppose it really comes down to Matt as a personal decision. -Do you really think your stock will jump by staying an extra year? You also risk having a bad year and slipping out of the draft altogether. -Do you risk injury to potentially move up a bit in the draft? I would assume he will go through the draft process and see where he lands, even if it ends up be UDFA. Once you hit the late rounds, its more about getting in and getting the opportunity. He would never be slotted in as automatic anywhere anyway. Get him into a camp and let him show what he has. Have to strike while the iron is hot.

5th years Haas - such a disappointing end for that kid Stage Canady Shannon Galvin Turner Holm Richter Seniors Maag - Return, and finally play up to your size. Hinders - Do we have another long snapper waiting? Peterson - Do we have another punter ready to take over? Waletzko - Barring something strange, I would assume he will enter the draft. Ghadaksaz - I would think he was a 1 year filler and will be gone. Seguin - Thoughts? Krzanowski - Does he really still have another year? If so, that's awesome. Larson - I would hope he stays for another year. Fenelon - Gone Boltmann - Does he really still have another year? If so, that's awesome. Morrison - Thoughts?

Glad to hear it! That kid is going to have ton of opportunities over the next few years. Onto MO St.

How's Jack doin? Seemed like I saw him hobble off this past weekend after he almost snagged that TD. Hope he is good!

Not like it really matters at this point at all. I just feel like a split edges to the road team. Seems like a draw on the weekend, but doesn't matter much. Have to dominate in Nashville, and I would absolutely freaking love to see a sweep of the Goofs.

How does Q jump us in the polls after a split? That seems like some BS right there.

Did I miss something on Otis, or is this speculation?

I'll give you the INT; that was awful.

You thought Q Patterson looked like a better QB for NDSU?

yes and no. There has been some very questionable stuff as well. I like throwing the Vaughn wrinkle in there, but it almost seemed like we overused Q in the redzone. Tommy is supposed to be the accurate passer, let him find a guy. If he gets out of the pocket he can almost always get a few yards on the run.

Definitely heard his name, but not sure how many minutes he played.

Where have any of these creative plays been over the past 3 games?

Why? Driscoll kept it from being a blowout. the rest of the guys looked slow and sloppy

That’s cuz Rand Pecknold sucks

I swear I’m not catching some of these offsides calls

We look so slow

Officiating has been pretty ugly

I like the high end talented players too (Oshie, Toews, etc.) but they don't all turn out like that either. I've seen plenty of guys that have skill, but no grit. Won't go into the corners, won't battle for a puck, can't even do a pull up. Not a fan of those guys either.

Yes, getting the "Blue Chip" recruits has always worked out for BU and Michigan. Only idiot coaches would go after the "right" players, not the "best" players. I can't remember anywhere in the history of hockey where that worked out for someone.

Right, I'm not suggesting that she sign up for ESPN+, but last week someone streamed the Bemidji game over their Youtube channel. Not sure if that is an option again.

Have to win out! The USD game doesn't give me much confidence, but the SIU game is a boost. Its disgusting how close we are to having beat SIU, NDSU, and even USD for that matter. A few plays, kicks, and boneheaded coaching calls and we are the #1 team right now. Now that sounds sad to say the would of, should of, could of .... but there is no doubt that this team has the capability. IF, and it is a major IF, they can work some sort of magic and find a way into the playoffs, it would mean they are on a major hot streak and are playing extremely well. I'm not holding my breath, and it sucks to feel like we wasted a season when momentum is on our way, but next season we would only have a more seasoned team. May lose a few pieces on D, but would have a ton returning. I'm not turning the page on this season yet, but there is zero room for error (including coaching, so maybe we check the score and where we are on the field before going for it on 4th down).

Anyone know if they can stream the ESPN+ feed onto Youtube? I saw that Riese Gaber's mom was asking about viewing options and couldn't get ESPN+ where she is. I have ESPN+ but am not sure how to do it, and might not be around at game start on Friday. Figured I'd post it here to see if anyone could help so she could watch.

I believe he didn't like how hard UND was checking. And yes, his interview seemed pretty tactless and whiny.
