    I've already said there's no conspiracy here.

    What I've said is this is a case study on how Fargo media gives NDSU Football deferential treatment regarding certain stories that may be disadvantageous and that is not the media's job. 

    Do not be to sure Mr. Sicatoka,  'The cover up is worse than the crime'.  Ask Richard Nixon?

    My monicer is not for naught,

    Not sure about the rest of you (I try not to 'live in the reckage of the future') but will be at the games this weekend and expect each and every hockey player to give there very best (110%), and sweep the series.

    AMEN

    Sometimes even the 'old fella' gets luckey.

    Well, you keep wanting to celebrate a “big” home win over 8-win Colorado College, yet the “worst team in the NCHC” has only 2 less wins than that and lost a hard-fought 1-0 game at Denver tonight.  NoDak might wanna step up its game or that Omaha trip next weekend might be another road disaster.

    You need to get back on your meds.

    So, if it were in the second round, it would have been better? Where's the line? We were in the tournament and, for all intents and purposes, won that game. 

    Consistency is fair. Totally fair. However, I still think we would have been a lot more consistent with Jost. I just don't see it as 2.5 years, at all. One bad call away from playing for a Four in 16-17, one more goal the year after and in the dance.... it feels like an overreaction to last weekend.  

    Remember/we scored in the overtime/disallowed due to off side/Bu had regained possession in there zone after the off side/rule has now been changed/if defense gains possession after the off side prior to the goal being scored it is a good goal.  We would have won the regional championship and been in the final four.  Not now defending the state of our program/however please don't use the loss to BU as a negative about Brad's coaching.

    I disagree. I've noted why previously. But, it's fine, I don't want to rehash. It's all good.

    Have seen most of the home games for the past 25 years.  It has been my observation that the Sioux have a difficult time playing against any team that pack it in.  This defense is used by many teams/even those in the NCHC

    This thread reminds me of a comment years ago, totally unrelated.  "Do something, even if it's wrong".  I don't have amswers but i do enjoy looking at problems, speculating at the cause, and pondering answers and results.  Have a great day 

    Good quote.  

    A saying in the Army was 'a bad decision is better than no decision'

    Somebody mentioned that maybe our defense wasn't fast enough. Been thinking about that comment. I think of all the (for lack of a better term with my limited football language) swing passes that seem to work against us to a back coming out of the backfield along the sides with our d-back going full speed but doesn't get there until allowing a 7 yard gain. Is this a "speed" issue?

    That was the story of Saturday's Game/Take a peek @ game film.

    This! This is the WHOLE point. The good die-hard members of your fan base are aware, yet won’t do anything. So you have to ask yourself, whose the issue. The people doing it, or the people who won’t stop it. 

    That sounds suspiciously like another fan base (not talking sports)--just saying

  10. Here I am/just got back from the football game enjoying taco pizza and some Robert Mondovi Pino/Nior.

    Ceds:

    80 years old

    15 semesters at UND (slower than average bear)

    Football & Hockey season ticket holder, (exceptfor 2 ears in the Army have attended Sioux atheletic events).  Seson ticket holder since 1972,

    Never played football or hockey, (second team all city it basketball} 7 on the team

    Todays game:

    # 6 brought back life to the Sioux today which was great--but  If there is a question who should be at line backer #6 or # 12 please take time to review the game film,

    #33 had rushed for 450 yards in the last 3 games/in last weeks game, taking out the 90 yard TD run he averaged over 10 yards per carry.  Today with about 2 minutes to go in the 1st half #33 was moving the ball/but wait/they take him out and on the 1st series of downs through an interception.  (Just Saying)

    Not a member of the GOBC/but was in favor of Bubba.

    He needs to retire.

    So a big part of basking in this win is to read the Herald’s article this morning.... I am not so good with technology, granted. And I have minimal use of the capabilities of this iPhone BUT no headlines on the win when I clicked on “Sports” and there were THREE links to Bison Ball. So I searched UND football and found old articles. Then added Griz and got the wonderful article and great comments from staff/players.

    Could someone dumb this down for us old folks trying to keep current with technology? I even tried the main page tho king it would be headlines!!! Need to hype up everything about the program....all public and positive info....great win!!

    Let's not be so hard on the Marcil's/UND football is probably not on their radar.  Give the credit/they were able to put 4-5 Rob Port's whatevers on Sundays editorial pagee

    Not at all.......and I'm sure you are a handsome strapping old fella. Just don't feel I needed to hear one of those 2, and others, blasting the POTUS or making a political statement every time I flipped on NCB the last 2 weeks. If your goal coming into the Olympics was to be an activist before being an athlete you should have stayed home. I thought the USA athletes represented this county's flag........not the flag waving above.

    Oh.........and NBC viewership was down 24% from 4 years ago. 

    Defensive Too?
