But some people on here will say that is no excuse for not winning.

Midco probably has some SD high school football game to rebroadcast.

About half of the fans of this program are using this WAY too much:

Screw it, I think I will just get my sleep instead.

That is what I was referring to.

I echo this. There will be ups and downs, but I think this group will get better and better as the season goes along.

I remember watching games from Anchorage in 2009. I seem to remember doing so after that as well. They had those commercials for a local restaurant in Anchorage that were pretty entertaining.

Will the UND@UAA hockey games this weekend be picked up by Midco? They have done that in the past.

Doesn't a local station up there carry those games? Midco has picked up the feed for those games in the past.

This whole freshman class is full of "really nice" players. I am excited about this group.

Mississippi Valley couldn't make the D-2 playoffs. But please continue spinning like a top. It's entertaining.

Who are they playing next week, Shanley High School?

You are a closet Bison fan. Please prove me wrong on that.

Vikings vs. Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium, 12 Noon CT, Fox My biggest key to the game? Putting Xavier Rhodes on Golden Tater Tot III and give him safety help over the top. Shut his a$$ down. I cannot stand the guy and he is their best receiver right now. Those are two good reasons to do this. Skol Vikings!!!

I don't see that happening two consecutive years. I have never seen anything like this in football before. It is insane.

I don't think we will get enough guys back this week to make much of a difference. Maybe later in the year we will, but the season will be shot by that point (if it isn't already). This is a lost season.

People would be calling for Berry's head. Just like they are calling for Bubba's head now.

Please don't bring up the Packers beating the snot out of the Bears at home as an example of "next man up". The Bears are tough at home, but garbage on the road.

Please tell me of another example of a team losing this many guys at the same time? Because I cannot think of one.

I think the next couple of years will be very telling. One bad year after three years of progress does not mean they will not bounce back. If 2018 is another bad year, I will be on your side on this. I just am not ready to go there.

No, it is not "apples to oranges". NDSU was a Division 2 power in 1986 and they were an FCS power in 2013. So the comparison is valid. And you are the one implying that there should be a "set timetable"; you think we should have the depth now and we don't. I personally think we need a couple of more years to make an informed judgement of this regime. If we are still losing games by 45+ points next year, then I will start asking questions. But I really don't think that is going to happen.

UND-FB-FAN is hinting at regime change as the answer, he just won't come out and say it. I think it is way too early to start talking about that.

Depth isn't built in a few short years. It takes time. It took Roger Thomas a long time to build depth in the program, as he took over a dumpster fire in 1986. Bubba took over a similar dumpster fire in 2013. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong this year. I have never seen anything like this before. You can bet that NDSU would be in trouble once they got into the meat of the MVFC schedule if 13 of their starters were on the shelf, even with their superior depth.
