    Ive blocked the 2nd half or at least the 4th quarter of the richmond game out of my mind.  Also the scheduling was bad.. quite a few people left to get to the hockey game thinking it was over.  I would maybe prefer a 1 or 2:00 start, but im fine with the noon start for all the reasons mentioned above.

     

    The hockey game that night was in NYC, so no one left the football game to attend the hockey game.  Unless you mean to watch on TV.

    Wouldn't that be best case scenario for UND? Wouldn't you want UND to play against a team they already boat raced? 

    More like best case scenario for NDSU. A chance to avenge the loss that stings the most, in the same season, at home, in a much more meaningful game. You know UND would play scared $hit less in that game. It would be a boat race in the other direction. 

  3. At least the season finished on the only remaining good way possible - beating the Bison at home.  I am glad for the players who's last collegiate game was last night.  This program has a long way to go, so I hope the Tupacs are preparing to deliver on their promises for '24 and beyond.

    If there are no signs of progress next season, then I will be concerned about the long-term trajectory of the program.

    Agree. Need to make conference tournament at very least.

  5. I am a little skeptical about the Yotes turnaround. Not sure their record or ranking is truly reflective of their team. Doesn’t mean this won’t be a tough game for UND. Hard place to play and track record is not in our favor. I think UND has a little more to play for, so I hope that sense of urgency translates.

    Defensively, I believe our biggest problems are we don’t tackle well, we overrun plays that take us out of position and we lose outside contain or have poor angles on the ball carrier or QB in the pocket or scrambling. Too often we don’t wrap up on the ball carrier.

    This has been an area of my curiosity for several seasons. I can’t imagine our coaches don’t know how to teach these things, so are the players just not athletic enough, not smart enough, or what’s the deal?

    Gotta be able to throw downfield (10-15 yards) consistently as running will be tough sledding. Hopefully, they dial back the bubble screens a bit and throw downfield more.

    Will the outsides be open, or should be we throw across the middle?  Lots of success to outside last week.

    Skokna got hurt and didn't play the second half.  Didn't hear Pedigo's name called yesterday.  Assuming he's out injured, too?

    What about Quincy Vaughan?  Did he play at all?  I thought there was a 3rd and short they might bring him out for, but they didn't.  Also don't recall him catching a pass.

    I can't recall the last time the D was better than the O.

    I would say the Rudy years, like 2015 and 2016.  Defense seemed to get scores then much more regularly than now.

    While this is all in good fun, I’m not so sure a rematch with UND or USD doesn’t come out differently. A rematch with SDSU would likely still favor the Jacks.

    However, NDSU and UND seem to be on two different trajectories.  Now that Kliemans recruits are graduated or transferred out, that program is falling fast.  They had 13K announced attendance at their last game.  The bandwagon fans are jumping ship and I’m here for it!  

    Hope you’re right.
