It is a total team failure across the board. This team is starting to resemble the early 1990's at this point.

Yes. A 2 loss Alabama team does NOT belong ahead of a 1 loss TCU team. I think the field looks like this: 1. Georgia, 2. Michigan, 3. TCU, 4. Ohio State

@MafiaMan was being a smarta$$.

I always loved that one!

That is a false choice. People were just frustrated with the annual semifinal meltdowns. I don't think the people who made comments like that really meant it. The harsh fact is, nobody remembers teams who lose in the semifinals. Not saying it is a healthy perspective, but it is what it is. As for the current dumpster fire this program has devolved into, I don't think anyone saw this coming. However, it absolutely needs to be fixed before we end up like Wisconsin.

Need 3 points this weekend.

Why today?

There were some signs, yes. But if it does not carry over to this weekend and next weekend and so on, it won't help us much.

Talent isn't the issue. Having everyone on the same page every night is what needs to happen for this team to win consistently.

Which is the caliber of bowl game we could expect as a 6-5 or 7-4 low-level G5 FBS team. No thank you.

Going FBS would leave us with only one sport in which winning a national title is still possible. Except...... .....if the P5 conferences split off into their own subdivision and the G5 conferences are left to their own subdivision. The two are on different planets now and it is foolish to pretend they belong in the same subdivision. Competing for a G5 Subdivision Championship would be possible for the top half of the MVFC and Big Sky and a few other programs in weaker FCS conferences. But right now, moving up would not make sense.

Well said.

Need at least one win, this league is unforgiving.

I think #daybyday should be replaced with #SSDD.

And that is nauseating.

@iramurphy probably thought Mussman shouldn't have been let go in 2013 either. And that is the attitude holding the entire athletic department down. We are now "that other school in North Dakota that doesn't win anything".

Don't you have to have laurels first?

What is everyone's prediction for the next 4 on the road? I'll say 1-3 at best.

It's one thing after another with this program.

Man, you know things are bad when we start trading jokes.

Unfortunately, you will have some people defending Sadlocha and claiming he is being "persecuted".

Didn't we have one season where we had to have one particular team lose so we could get in? I think it was 2014.

We lost in the 2001 NCAA title game the year before. We won NCAA title #7 the year before that (2000).

The only losing season Blais had was the first season in the new REA (2001-2002).
