Realistically, after 10 years, we are lying to ourselves thinking this program is going to ever be better than 5-6, 6-5 or 7-4. I admit, after the Missouri State and Youngstown wins, I was lying to myself again. I'll be there Saturday cheering on my team, but at some point I want to be SDSU/NDSU, when it comes to FCS football. The Hawk fan in me says we will win the next 3 and then play a good game in Fargo and possibly come out with a win but at the least, a playoff berth. The realist in me says we will lose at least one of the next 3, and then lose in Fargo and then start convincing ourselves next season will be different. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwestern Hawk Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I’m watching the game again right now. The 4th and one before the half where Quincy comes in motion, fakes the sneak and then continues is a complete cluster f ck too. Should have been picked off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux94 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Finally went back and watched the Pick 6 play. Yeah...wow what a mess up by the WR who should have blocked the guy right in front of him. That was not a bad decision by Tommy, if the WR blocks that guy just a little we get 4-5 yards on that play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid may have missed a signal or misread the defense, and that breakdown caused what should have been a routine "run game extension" type of play to be a pick 6. Unfortunate...but those things happen and you have to bounce back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND08 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Man when did the MVFC get so damned soft?!?! I was in the heart of it...Never heard one bad thing said...just what I consider to be normal smack talk! SDSU bench talked it back after they were winning (as is their right in my book - if you're gonna dish it you better be able to take it). Spaulding caught some crap for the ejection AND more specifically the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty...that comes with the territory in my opinion! Classic deflection to attempt to put it on the fans. The smack talk is normal...the actions on the field were pretty poor optics, and it would seem to be a good teaching moment for Coach Stig. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Three plays: - the pick 6 - the Janke punt return - the forced fumble on UND29 Were those UND mistakes, or championship plays made by a championship caliber team? To take the next step you need to be shown what it looks like. We were shown. What comes next is: What does UND do with it. Firstly, it must not regress from the team the 4-2 team that took the field. Next, it must build off what was learned (the hard way) by the 4-3 team that left the field. Do both, and it's a step closer to where we all want them to be. But the first step is no regression this week. Beat ACU. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he started to hear about it after he smiled after the ejection, waved to the crowd and was high fives by laughing teammates and coaches. He and his team/coaches surely knew there was an injured player by that point. I had zero problem with the hit and it’s hard in real time to lay off. It was his taunting after in the field and behavior off it that riled the crowd so he may want to revisit his timeline. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I was unaware that he was even injured at first." Wow. Really? So he didn't notice that the game was delayed for 10 minutes after he made direct head to head contact with Caden? What did he think was happening on the field when all of the UND medical staff was surrounding a player? Pretty bad attempt to cover your ass when you got called out for it and there is video evidence of you laughing on the sidelines. Nice try. Classless play, even worse response. by him after it happened, and an even worse attempt to blame his actions on the UND fans after.
