Will not be able to listen or watch until later, so updates appreciated!

If you are referring to me, I definitely was not complaining about trick plays. (For the record, you thinking I was was not my take, either.) I hope to God you don't consider me one of the "usual suspects" though. Ouch.

I also kept wondering, how good of a team is Omaha? They look a lot like us.

Finally got to see them play. Small sample size (for me, anyway), but jury is still out. At times, their hitting and blocking look really good, and at others their receiving and passing is suspect. I know it's still a work in progress for the Tupacs, so there will be good and bad. Finally got a chance to familiarize myself with the roster, too. Our team is very young - only 7 players are not freshmen or sophomores.

So did they get lucky that the ball didn't just bounce weirdly, or can you actually control how it's going to bounce off the turf?

No. I mean, it depends on what your team is made of. If you are the superior team, then, no, you probably don't need trick plays. Just come at them with your superior stuff. If you are equals, but your trick play(s) is/are superior to the opponent's, then you deserve to win. If you are not the superior team, then, yes, you probably need a few trick plays to win the game. That doesn't mean that you didn't deserve it, though. Make plays to win the game.

While I loathe the Forum's (and all of Fargo media's) homer coverage of Bison FB, think about this for a bit: Tom Miller and his Forum counterparts (McFeely, Izzo) work for the same company. Any good employee is going to be careful what s/he says about co-workers, especially when the employer is in the business of reporting news stories and what people say about said stories.

Obviously. Any coach with a brain would be starting Jerry Kaminski instead of having him #4 on the depth chart.

I don’t know. Who?

Haven’t we been told the WR room was as deep as it’s ever been? Is that not the case?

Forecast for Saturday is for a warm (and somewhat humid) day (80-85°F) with strong south wind (20-30 mph).

Seems crazy. Seems like our passing game is perfectly set up for short yard gains, plus our O-line has shown it can get a push for a couple yards at will, plus we have Quincy who always seems to get 2-3 yards when you only need 1. Haven't seen many of the attempts, but I am guessing we are getting too cute in the play calling??

Thanks for the analysis.

For those who watched, did we look better than Thursday night?

Would be nice if NAU goes on to win.

Looks like just about every MVFC team has a bye this week, including SDSU. So they will be rested as well.

I didn't see any of the Boise St. game, but it sounds like the run game was there for the taking, but we got too cute with things. Hopefully lesson learned. You don't need too many plays if you get 3 yards per run and sneak Quincy for 1 yard.

Keep in mind, 10-1 is also still a possibility. And so is 2-9

If we don't win any of the "big 3" games, I would prefer for Bubba to resign at the end of the season. Doesn't have to be Danny to take over, but didn't he get some sort of "Associate" title earlier this year? I would assume that's the direction it's heading.

I didn't want to derail the Boise St. thread so I brought this topic over here. Under the current assumption that Danny Freund will be the next HC, what changes do you think he will implement in that role? Any staff changes? Who would he elevate to OC? Just wondering what people think the future coaching staff looks like.

He already committed, right?

Update?

Update?

Trying to follow here as I’m tied up with relatives ahead of a wedding. What’s the score, etc?
