    She didn't refute anything lol. She was butthurt during the game a couple weeks ago and absolutely was suggesting that some kids/coaches in Grand Forks took a dive.

    Don't worry, you can't afford me ;)

    She said, don’t take this out of context. Which means, you were misinterpreting her. 
     

    at least you are correct on one thing- There’s no way I could afford you. I wouldn’t want to risk everything by employing you.

    I am not as technical and knowledgeable as most here. But if I can see a play and question it, then I know it is obvious. I will NOT mention names or games….but at one point I said to myself “that kid was paid off.”  There is no doubt in my mind that these things can happen in sports. Not to coaches…..
    Let’s just leave this 4th down for what it is. We can’t go back snd hind sight is 20/20. But it isn’t like we have had 2 years of converting on 4th downs either.

    So you’re just quoting someone else’s post that you didn’t understand.   Nice.

    I get it. You are sad. I would be too if my guys were getting bribed... against a rival no less. 

    Loyalty ain't what it used to be. 

    what are these bribes you're talking about?   feel free to PM if you don't want to post it publicly.

    That was actually the opposite of gonadal fortitude. Sitting him in a game that was a guaranteed 40 point win didn’t show anything. Sitting him in a MVFC game or an FBS game would have. Sitting him against Drake didn’t teach Otis anything.

    An ndsu football fan criticizing how another team handles disciplining players. Now I’ve heard it all. Lol.

    3rd and 6 at USD 29( we are in FG range).  USD shows bringing 6, they only bring 5 but loop someone around who is not picked up.  What should Tommy do with the ball?

    I must admit i was expecting Bubba to punt in this situation, so this play caught me off guard.

    UND is 9 point dogs. NINE. 

    Based on last week’s decision making, at least 3 of those 9 are most likely based on coaching alone.

    I keep coming back to this idea that if you run Weah on first down, Smith on second down, how much would there be left to pick up on third down?  I think this strategy will only get more effective as the O-line gels later into the season.  

    And heck, if we punt on 4th downs in our own territory, who knows how good we could be?

    I admit to being frustrated with Bubba - and I think our horrible 4th down play affected the outcome - not only a poor idea but very poorly executed - we gave the Bison time to stack the line and then went ahead.  We could have called time out when we saw how it developed.  Yes, Bubba deserves the criticism.  In looking at his body of work on 4th downs, it's almost he thinks what the logical thing to do is and then does the opposite.  Coaches need to put the team in a position to win.  The offense was not sharp and a lot had to do with poor discipline - we were offsides on our first play.  This is part on the players but also part on the coaches.  We had a golden opportunity to shut up the Bison and didn't cash in.  

    your post about the opposite reminded me of George.  maybe Bubba needs to watch this clip the night before games, and remember it on fourth down situations.

    couple years ago before the dementia kicked in bubba punted down 3 scores with about 6 minutes left in a playoff game against a team that had 250 yards rushing at that point but a couple years later at your own 20with the lead you go for it on 4th down....wtf

    Similarly, it reminded me of one of our FBS games, was it against Utah three or four years ago?  We were down a couple scores in the fourth quarter, but Bubba just kept punting like it was going out of style. In a game like that, nothing to lose as the FCS underdog, but nope, we better keep punting and play the field position game until we run out of time.

    If a QB doesn’t “have a very short memory” he will struggle. Schuster won’t win games for us but he hadn’t been losing games. The 4th down call was long past and we are moving the ball deep in their territory. Everything in the minds of players needs to be do their assignment and get the first down. No excuses. 

    Agreed. Tommy thought he could ad lib if the receiver would have been on the same page. Unfortunately he didn’t see the safety.   I just can’t put that kind of mistake on the same level as the brain fart of going for it on 4th down.

    Tommy's throw during a split second decision was poor to be kind and it cost the team potential points.

    Bubba's decision with time to process the situation at that point within the context of the game and make the call he did borders on stupidity and ignorance. It gave NDSU points, momentum and basically the game. 

    Just my opinion and pretty much everyone else in our section.

    Agree completely.  Players need to make plays, but coaches need to put them in the most favorable situations to be successful.

    if we would’ve still been ahead, would Tommy have forced that throw? Also, would our offense have even tried throwing in that situation if we would have still been ahead?  
     

    Tommy made a costly mistake.  But if our coach wouldn’t have made the dumbest decision in the history of sports, maybe Tommy wouldn’t have felt the pressure dialed up on him to make something happen.
