That could explain our slow responsiveness to game speed and guys with the giggles after a loss. I might need to start smoking after this season.......

Where are all the pro-marijuana guys now on this site??? #harmless drug

Let's keep our eyes on the student section......We should be over selling/over giving that section by a couple hundred tickets to account for no shows or for those that stand/sit elsewhere.

Better to have no comments than bad comments - 41-37 Da Bears.

Protheroe is equal to 12 players himself, so you could argue Cal Poly is more banged up than us.

Guys, this is all natural with the 5 stages of Death. After denial for a short moment we all went into anger for a 2-3 week stretch. I think most of us are bargaining with some depression right now on what we can salvage from the season. And soon we'll accept the reality of the season and move on. The more I go over it, the more I see what these key and numerous injuries have done to the season. And to beat a dead horse, I think we should turn up the dial on the offense (the innovation and play to our personnel dial) Let Keaton toss it around, get John in space, pound Brady, JJ in the FB position with a wheel route, that's my equation anyway. The hard facts now, we need sustained drives, or short drives for all I care, but they need to end in TD's and 35+ points in a game for us to have a chance. Mark my words, close to 35 or over = W. (most of the time)

I will say it. JJ redshirted for the Gophs and sat a year at the Gophs, 2 years of college football, he's ready to produce. But.........we play a 'system' at UND that means we stack our talent at RB without regard to getting our best weapons on the field. Major fail. JJ could wheel out of the fullback/RB spot and make Morlock appear to be in slow motion. Santiago can play in the slot. Brady is the truest RB. So we certainly could move these guys around a little but do we do it? Of course not -

Part of me wonders for my own kids coming thru the ranks over the next 20 years!!!

Sure - but what's the stat on signee's, 80% are at the camps? So all coaches get a look at most guys.

Put me in the category of not blaming or pointing fingers. But I am intrigued by the discussion of Olympic Lifts vrs. Training Specific. And, should training be more position specific?

What does the Dynasty Gym do in Fargo? Isn't that 2 fairly recent SU players? I would put some value into their training.

Does Portland State (#12) and Cal Poly (#13) have the quality losses needed to jump UND at #11 in the Big Sky Power Rankings this week? I am on the edge of my seat.........

Not really. Each coach has an area. I assume Fruend has a Wisconsin area and with his relationships in that area has to identify all position players that could perform at DI level, may or may not include a WR. I think the HC and recruiting coordinator, and all coaches really have input at year end on who and what the team needs.

I don't know about that. 1. Who is our super stud WR? That's not on Freund. McKinnon reportedly could run past Holm, but of course, injured. 2. WR production goes as the OC goes. 3. Why isn't Fruend the QB coach anyway. 4. Deep balls......not good.

Like on that goal line play, we caught about 5 blocks, wasn't good. I know what you are saying. We had no Ratelleness on D Saturday.

Santiago looked as pissed as one could be after his fumble. If the team was over reacting and getting misconduct penalties we'd probably be saying win and lose with some class. It's hard to judge, but yes we look a little flat, not ready for the challenge in my opinion. But I don't doubt the players and their commitment in wanting to win.

One more joke opponent for SU, then sh*t gets real on their schedule. If UND had the SU schedule we would be 3-1 right now.

It was clear Davis knew enough about our D to get the matchup they wanted, Carter on Doss with no help. Was a safety suppose to be over top? It's like ground hogs day. The other team maximizes their personnel on offense and we can't stop it and on the UND offense we run our system without regard to personnel. (Although our O was better in the Davis game)

Not sure if anyone commented on injuries, yet...... A UND defense with Reyes, Harris, and Rodgers probably would have been enough to put this game at 50/50, even slant to UND. Schmitty would have been able to dial some more things up with those 3. Our offense at times, moved the ball OK today, but on the year, it has been bad. Overall, still hard to watch the train wreck.

Looks like boys playing men. Hard to watch falling off a cliff for 3.5 hours.

Me neither-

Gotta know the swat is coming.....ugh.

A punt!!! Whew!!!

Can't tackle, can't cover. This will be a long season.

Our jet sweep is junk.
