Rip away, but I don't think we have the 'backers to run 3-4. How many times did they miss a chance to make contact at the LOS, and how many missed first tackles were there? I know Zenner is great and all, but it was so consistent that they first tackle was going to be missed. Am I wrong in thinking that it looked like the gameplan was to eat up bodies at gaps and have a free linebacker to meet Zenner in the hole? That doesn't work if you don't have the horses to do it. Garrison Goodman was all right though. Also, did anyone else notice the lack of Hardin targeting in the 2nd and 3rd quarter? It coincided with the offensive stalls. Regardless of whose tossing it, Hardin is so good, I think you need to implement a "Randy ratio" type gameplan for him. Just too darn good not to force the issue there, IMO. I didn't think either quarterback was all that marketable of difference. Both gave their guys good chances. I think the comeback had as much to do with an all of a sudden lack of drops and the defense deciding to not get completely manhandled in the 4th.

Seriously ... is gameplan to not throw to Hardin too much? And why not take the timeout after the sack?

What a b/s move

I'm pumped for this game. This is probably the biggest game for football since the Great West title game. I'll be making the 5 hour trek from Williston for it.

I watched Blow last night, so the last person I heard say that ended up with a 60 year sentence and his daughter won't visit him.

I always thought it was cool when the Vikings used the guitar intro the Machine head for kickoff's.

Less than overwhelming pressure to start

A botched snap? Its not a tragic series of events but I don't think its planned out that way. I stand by my debbie statement

Whose returning Kickoff's? Assuming we are taking a kickoff and not a punt to start, that question could depend a lot on field position.

What's your opening play? I hope they try and turn the building on with a heave to Hardin to or run go, go Golliday

PREACH!!!

i'm just happy that an actual game thread is in the top threads instead of other b/s. if it goes the way it should, the score at the end of the first half may be more telling than the score at the end of the game. i'm 24+ to 3 or 0.

my dad can beat up your dad

Wild hog is a gem. Now that I live in Williston, I realize how much I miss a place like that to watch sports. It isn't quite cookie cutter like a b dubs, and really good food.

what could have been... if he and hextall both came back..

You overestimate the hardcore stonecold nature nature of both of them in this scenario, IMO.

57 in 6 hours isn't bad especially when you consider it was confined to the grand forks area. I thought it was a cool idea, but I doubt will all that darn road construction they coulda made it to Williston in 30 minutes.

Make sure only to stand when they tell... not too much spirit now..

it's supposed to be "North, Dakota, Gooooo Sioux!"

Speaking of Ralph music, does anyone else think we blew 4 years of opportunities not playing any Mario music for Mario Lamoureux

Yeah, but there's times where "Enter Sandman" or the guitar intro to "machine head" before a PK / PP faceoff makes the hair on the back of neck stand up

I know what you mean... enough of the cutesy fun stuff. More piss and vinegar... songs with some nuts

In a heartbeat
