If Miller thinks we are going to take a step back in 2017, he should just come out and say it.

Wow, Miller makes it sound like we have nothing coming back and we are in big trouble in several areas! I don't think things are that dire.

Agree with this 1000%! If this is "just a game", this forum wouldn't even exist. I will never apologize for being an enthusiastic supporter of our programs and never apologize for being disappointed in a loss, especially like the one on Saturday night. 2017 cannot come soon enough!

The confidence Bison fans have in their team has been built up over 5 years of last-second victories and championships. They didn't always have that confidence. We will develop that confidence, but it doesn't happen in a vacuum, it has to happen organically. I was feeling pretty good Saturday night.....until that idiotic reverse play call that lost 8 yards and killed what was a very successful run-oriented drive. Then of course, the Bill Buckner-esqe running into the kicker penalty got the ball rolling against us. Like I have said before: two steps forward, one step back.

Really? The idea that this team will now take a dive and not get another chance at the "brass ring" is pure overreaction. Come on Vindy, I know you and you are smarter than that. The point Sicatoka was making is that Bubba's house isn't finished yet and yesterday was another painful reminder of that fact. Two steps forward; one step back. That is how programs evolve. Did NDSU's loss at EWU in 2010 ruin their future prospects? No, and neither will what happened yesterday ruin our future prospects.

If Rudolph hadn't called so many passes when we were getting 4-5 yards per carry, I think we would have exceeded 150 yards on the ground. And perhaps even won the game.

Thank you for the kind remarks. Depth is our main issue and we will need to keep recruiting talented guys to build it. Also nice to have a game without a boatload of penalties. You don't have a cheap team and I like that.

I do not see that happening under Bubba. He is the perfect coach for our program at this point in time.

Great.....now we have ESPN rubbing our noses in it. This is going to be a long, painful offseason. PS: Trolls will get ZERO patience from me. Come on here and taunt us and you will be told off.

I believe Mike Berg pointed that out on the radio.

The D got tired because the offense stopped moving the ball and started going 3 and out over and over again. As for not subbing on defense, that is where building quality depth comes into play. Bubba and his staff haven't been here long enough to build up depth across the board. That is what they are working on right now.

If we keep winning games and getting high playoff seeds, the profile of the program will continue to rise. I am as sick about last night as anyone else here, but we have to keep looking at the big picture, people. Bubba has us going places......eventually one of those places will be Frisco, TX.

I think EWU was looking forward to completing big gains vs. our young and somewhat thin secondary. But I think they'll put up a lot of points vs. Richmond next week. They are a serious contender to make it to Frisco.

Yeah, he makes some strange play calls. And tonight it helped turn the game against us.

I couldn't agree with you more. We'll get there. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will this program.

Great turnout by the Grand Forks community! Can't say enough about the support they gave the team tonight. We'll need more of that next season and beyond.

This is how I feel as well. The guys will learn from this and work that much harder to prevent it from happening again.

If people are going to give up on the program over one disappointing loss, then they probably weren't going to stick with the team anyway. This program is going in the right direction; we just need to build more depth and get our younger guys more experience. They will learn from this painful experience and they won't let it happen again.

Go away, troll.

So how did they led FCS in INTs this season? That is what won the game vs. N. Arizona a few weeks ago. That is an area that needs to improve and it will, but they did some good things this season. And they will get better.

You too?

Let's hope that happens next weekend at the FargoDump.

Btw, who was it that ran into the kicker and started this epic meltdown? I suggest we name him Bill Buckner.
