Change punt formation. Quit mind boinking the players, block everyone then tackle the guy with the ball, simple. Our punter needs to speed up, too.

I think the correct call was made today. Special teams is more than a punt formation, which needs to changed by the way. Kostich brings a lot to the table. I think the kicker and punter are better next year and that will help, too. If we ever used TEs maybe we could evaluate him better next year.

Ya, I noticed that. Shallow pocket, no escape, it looks like we have no idea what we are doing with a passing game. 10 points on Portland St, Eastern puts up 74......they might be onto something.

Well, that strategy sucks, then. Every other team gives their QB a lot of space to make plays while we trust in a cozy little pocket that in a split second goes to hell.

Speaking of a good passing pocket.....why is our QB so shallow and the pocket so small? One missed blocked and Kett only has time for a duck and cover.

Hell ya!!

Proof?? Anyone??

We could do that, too. (In 3-5 games)

14 points in first 6 minutes and 9 seconds, on the road. Just put that into perspective. More or less than 48?

E. Washington will have more or less than 10 points on offense...... How about 38, more or less?

I think Chaves would. It is consistent with his vision, and it's hard to approach donors when you don't put some skin in the game. We had the 2015 bid nailed for a home game and that was with Faison and donors at that time. Does anyone think Chaves will let Faison's bid be bigger than his bid. (yes, a 'bid' measuring contest) I wondered at the time if the committee opened our bid after the bracket was selected, just being curious, and said......hmmmm.......kinda f'd that one up. Maybe that helps this time around, knowing we had a healthy bid in the past. If we don't win, I'll never get this 2 minutes back.........

My understanding - 1st round for unseeded teams Estimated attendance gives a school a baseline to run a sound budget, but a school can bid however much they want and lose $ on the game.(often private donations will come in on top of what the school is willing to pay) So the real answer is just plain "Revenue". That's what the bid is for, how much will your school pay for a home game. A,C,D and E are meaningless, or the committee will say were equal upon consideration. After 1st round, just meet minimum bid and have adequate facilities.

I watched the SU/Jacks game in person. I don't think we hang with either of these teams mainly because their QBs are too good for us to stop. (not to mention better schemes, identities, and SU has some better players on D) If UND pulls a rabbit out of their a_s and makes it into the play-offs and to Fargo in round 2, I am not going to spend $500 on 2 tickets like I did last time we played in the dome.

For sure. App St., Ga Southern, Liberty, Coastal Car. (a few others) and prior to that by a lot of years Marshall and Boise St. have weakened the FCS when they moved to FBS. Are the DII teams replacing and strengthening compared to what's left or leaving?? Hard to say and only because of SU's run. .......and that's what is so frustrating!! I am more critical with the exodus of top teams. (SU plans on waiting it out to see if the P5 split I believe)

Instant Classic!!

Right, in 2 years, 6-5 could get us in!! Especially playing NDSU and SDSU, those losses don't even count.

I don't see a scenario in which we make the playoffs. If we did, MVFC blowhards will tell us we'll have negative yards at half, and they might not be too far off.

And when all the MV teams are ranked too high (not NDSU and SDSU) but all the other teams(especially UNI), of course it's going to look like really tough schedules. (self fulfilling prophecy)

I see they crushed Hermantown, they will be tested in the semifinal.....if they win that one the exposure goes up bigtime.

Only Smokin Joe, and about 200 other college running backs, are capable getting 250 yards on 40 fullback dives.

I should stay at home Saturday.....but both hockey practices I have are in the morning so now I get to torture myself in GF. I sure hope we win the time of possession.

sorry - I stay mad a long time I guess!!
