Have we ever played well in the Dakota Dome? It seems like we struggle to win down there more often than not. Edit: Our last road win vs. USD was in 2008.

And we took 4 of 6 points. But, like @nodakgirl93 said, it doesn't mean anything in the long run.

I think SDSU is very poachable this year, especially since we have them at home. NDSU will be much tougher, but being at home gives us a decent chance.

I don't disagree at all. Saturday was very frustrating. But we have to remember that this is a process. So far, I like what Schmidt is doing.

What? That's ridiculous if true.

Anyone who thought Eric Schmidt's first season would go smoothly without any bumps in the road was delusional. He is working with mainly Bubba's leftovers and the team is already much improved. Once he gets a couple of recruiting classes on the field, I think we'll be Top 10 nationally, if not higher.

This is NOT Bubba Ball anymore. One bad game on the road does not mean we are back to Bubba Ball. SMH

Anyone know what the logic was changing from PWR to NPI?

It's the NCHC. There are no easy games. That's what I love about our league.

I also had forgotten the Morningside game. That was 30 years ago!

Yes! I have that on VHS at home someplace.

I looked it up. Looks like we beat Morningside on the road before beating the Bison 21-7 at home.

I think it was at South Dakota in the Dakota Dome in 1995. The final was 35-0. Nothing went right, everything went wrong. That place has always been hard for us.

The rivalry doesn't diminish over one bad road game.

Schmidt was at San Diego State when we hired him.

That ship sailed a long time ago. I think people expected bad road games to be a thing of the past. It brings back bad memories of the past two decades.

Let's give him credit for making 3 needed coaching changes during the off-season.

NDSU game is at home. Totally different from today's venue.

You have a better idea?

All of the above.

USD gets up for us down there for some reason. They are basically in playoff mode and can't afford any more losses.

A horrible half and yet we are only down nine.

Yeah, overreaction. People are just anxious to have a winning program after almost two decades of mediocrity and underachievement.

Get in the damn locker room and regroup. Only 9 point deficit.
