  1. There was a green out during the USD game. Or was that all of the empty seats? All we need to do is look south and improve on what they do with the intro, student fan experience, and winning. Seriously though if I don't see a new intro video and improved team entrance I will puke. It's been years of pure garbage, they've never done it right and it shows. Is a theme song really that hard to think of? And turn up the speakers on the music it's too quiet.
  2. Get ready to be grumpy then. All blacks are on thee way. Consider it an early Christmas for everyone else.
  3. New pre game video that fans will actually get excited for like the hockey games, a theme song for the team entrance, fog machine and lasers coming out of the helmet, and have a fan blackout with the teams new black uniforms. Those would help. No more minute to win it is right, its a joke. Leave that crap for halftime when nobody is watching and so the players dont have to see it and get embarrassed and distracted. It's not hard, all it takes is effort, which, apparently, nobody in charge of the football atmosphere has.
  4. Student turnout is an easy fix. Return tailgating to what it was. Kick the crap out of USDMTMTSSD and run up the score so every player gets some touches for the fans to see. Beat Portland St. Finally get an FBS win in San Diego. With that the attendance for the Poly game would be huge. And I'm sure if fans will be clamoring to get a glimpse of the first all black football uni in program history as well. Add all of that together with hype for the new qb and conference and turf and you have a potential powder-keg that could launch the football team to new heights.
  5. It only takes one good year with playoff eligibility for notice to be taken
  6. Wait, but would these black helmets fit or be loose? Cause my grandpa liked his helmet loose back in WWII. I mean yea thats better.
  7. So I heard the football team is getting new uniforms. Should we start a thread for that?
  8. FWIW the most losses by a Big Sky winning team in conference since '03 is 2.... I feel like that won't be as common now that there are more quality teams in the Big Sky like Poly and us and Davis and SUU
  9. The tsn/fathead poll has us ranked 23rd. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/misc/tsn-div-1aa-poll.htm I feel like we should be a little higher. Although that is good for third in the Big Sky which is higher than most of you think we'll finish.
  10. Hate to break it to you but its probably a laser disk....
  11. Fact is 100% of todays players like em tight. 100% of Dick Butkus likes em baggy.
  12. Where are the sleeves? Are they trying to piss off Dick Butkus?
  13. Yea but they're not baggy. That's a problem. Dick Butkus liked em baggy so yer wrong.
  14. So I'm assuming you're old enough to have known our friend Abe .... “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
  15. looking at Portlands vs what we saw with ours we have a ways to go although obviously you don't have as much to work with in a spring game vs a real one. I just think that darker lighting on the Portland one makes it seem more edgy like a movie.
  16. It's cowardice. Put a chip on your shoulder and improve and be the best player on the team the next year. Taking the easy way out is becoming too common with football and hockey players and it's pathetic.
  17. For some reason I can't picture the lineup without Pattyn. He plays with too much grit to not be out there. Every time he was on the ice he made a physical impact on the opposing team and cycles really well along the boards.
  18. wellllll back when I played we had to drive the ball up hill both ways into a 95mph wind on a gravel field with lead based paint lines while smoking cigarettes without pads or shoes in a blizzard 76 below zero and we had to sew our jerseys ourselves from potato sacks and the ball was really a boulder and there were no fans in there because there were no stands but we didn't want fans there because we played for the love of the game and there was no halftime because we refused a halftime and it was pouring rain and 100 degrees and there were no coaches because we didn't need one because back then we had true leaders on the field wellll it really wasn't so much a field as it was an old land mine training course for tank drivers and we all had polio and the forward pass was illegal because nobody can throw a greased pig very far anyway which is what we used for a ball and wellllll what was I talking about again?
  19. I'm not sure if our pass defense has ever been outstanding. I can remember good individual corners and solid safeties but it's always been about the front seven from what I've seen. This next year will be the first time since Digger was playing that the front 7 will be up to snuff. This new version is the most athletic by far and the D-line is shaping up very well. The starters are monsters and hopefully the youngsters can turn into the same. I'm not sure if any team can stomach the type of smash mouth D we used to play and seem to be getting back to. They'll be able to assert themselves next year with an actual offense to give them rest and leads to work with. SACK CITY is coming back.
  20. For the record I thought Clausen was over rated and had bad mechanics and too weak of an arm. I also thought Mertens and Goska would suck. Goska wasn't good but he got the job done some games and was a man possessed for 1.75 quarters against USD and in all 4th quarters last year. I've seen enough of this guy to know he's legit, since you haven't seen him in person maybe you should take my word for it
  21. I've seen enough good quarterback play to know a good one when I see one. I said the same thing about Brock Jensen when I saw him play in his first spring game. He should've started the first game, he didn't. When he did play you guys were able to make your run and actually score points and not turn it over. Hansen will probably throw for over 3000 yards this year, he is that good.
  22. Lack of quarterback depth and Business grad school
  23. http://www.fightingsioux.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?catid=9814&id=841942
  24. I've seen Hansen throw enough throws and watch his make correct reads and throw people open to know he's the real deal. I'm confident in my opinion from watching quality qb play and UND and even occasionally at NDSU (Mertens and Mohler not so much). Hansen has an ease about his throws that reminds me of Freund except Hansen is fully 6'5" and has a stronger arm than Freund did.
  25. I'm hoping/thinking our team will take a different stance then some of us fans seem to take. We don't have to play up to them, they have to play up to us. We need to look at it as the Big Sky is our conference now and they need to play at our level to have a chance. We need to be more like Rorschach the black guy is the Montanas by the way
