Big 4th down stop for Bobby Stroup!!!! Come on Sioux, let's take advantage of this.

Big 3rd down coming up for the defense.

With our move to D-I, we will have a chance to get players that we couldn't get before. But Lennon wants to recruit local first and then move out from there. I think Wisconsin is probably a better choice for recruiting. But if we can snag a few Michigan kids, that would certainly help.

Not again!

Either he is hurt, sick or has lost all confidence. If Landry can light a fire under our butts, I say leave him in and let him do something.

I think we need to pull out all the stops at this point. It's the playoffs, there is no tomorrow.

I think the wind is affecting the kickers and punters today. It's not easy to kick when it's cold and windy outside.

TD Dressler from Landry. PAT Blocked. GVSU 21 UND 6 There's still some faint hope.

The Lakers have built the program I was hoping we would build back in the 1990's when we started to become a factor on the national stage for the first time in years. It is a bitter pill to swallow to watch someone else do it instead. Needless to say, I will be cheering for Omaha next week (while holding my nose, of course).

TD Lakers. 21-0 in third quarter. Game, Set, Match, Point.

If the Sioux defense doesn't hold or force a turnover, the Lakers can just salt it away.

Sioux get the ball back. Time to get on the board.

Good point. However, I know some rabid golfers that will golf in any weather if you let them on the course.

That was a pretty good rant. I agree with everything you just said. We are 30 minutes away from hitting the golf course. We had better get something started in the 3rd quarter. If the Lakers score on their opening drive, it will be curtains.

I vote for Roseanne!

At this rate, I am going to have to cheer for Omaha next week! Come on Sioux, don't put me in that position.

Great play by the defense, but if our offense can't take advantage of it, it won't matter.

It's early, but I don't like how this game is starting to shape up.

Bad punting on both sides so far.

Game time is almost here!!! GO SIOUX!!!

I have said this for years about that craphole conference. EZAC supporters will tell you that their conference is one of the best in the country because all the teams are competitive with each other and then pull out the statistics to "prove" it. What that really means is that the talent level for most (if not all) the teams is several notches below other leagues and that no team has the front-end talent to establish themselves as a true national contender. Of course, all of this comes out in the wash once the NCAA tournament rolls around.

We got 2:00 for crashing the net and later on 2:00 because a Duluth player took a Robbie Earl-esque dive. The zebras are supposed to keep the game under control and call it down the middle, not become part of the story. I don't pay good money to watch them get involved in the outcome or direction of the game. Let's hope it doesn't cost anyone tomorrow.

Giving up 5 goals doesn't help either. I wonder what happened to "Hot Shot" Mannino tonight? I hope we don't go to Denver next weekend and make him look like a Hobey Baker candidate. Great win tonight, but we have to follow it up on Saturday to earn the sweep. Duluth is going to come out and work hard to get some points out of the weekend. I hope this time we are ready to deal with it.

If we are going to win this game, there are three things I think we must do well: 1) No turnovers. Turnovers took us out of the game last year before we had a chance to establish any momentum. If we take care of the ball, that should give us a chance to win. Make them earn whatever they get. 2) Control the game on the ground. We have a big, talented and experienced offensive line. We need to use the Hogs and whatever running backs are healthy to establish a solid running game and control the clock. I don't care if it's Chappell, Dressler, Murray, Battle or Dungy; someone is going to have to step up and establish the run. That should open up the passing game for Freund to make some plays down the field. 3) Punch it in when we have the chance. One problem with this team this year is finishing drives that look good until we get inside the red zone. In order to win this game, we will have to score touchdowns when we have the chance. One of the reasons why we are on the road tomorrow instead of at home is missed scoring opportunities in the Omaha game. If we can capitalize on our chances, we stand a good chance to win the game, especially with our defense healthy and playing their best football of the season right now. This game might come down to the last drive for either team in the fourth quarter. No one outside of our fan base probably thinks that we can win this game, but I think we have a chance if we play solid football for 60 minutes.

Let's go Sioux, time for a home sweep!!!
