fightingsioux4life Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Manke sacked at 1 yard line. Ballgame over. UNO 21 UND 20 Reed Manke hurt. A really bad day so far in Sioux country, time to focus on Sioux-Badgers tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotadan Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't care what anyone says. I'm blaming this loss on the offensive coordinator's choice of play calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMom Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Manke sacked and shoulder is hurt again. Better to lose now, than farther into the season. Tough loss, get up and dust yourselves off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough loss, get up and dust yourselves off. Omaha treats this game like the Super Bowl instead of just another game. When it comes playoff time, the Mavs don't get it done. They are a regular season team only. Let them have this one. We'll see who has the last laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochsioux Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 This loss is totally on the coaching staff. They wimped out on 4th and goal and kicked a field goal when they needed to make a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I don't think any of the fans would have blamed them for going for it: win or lose, especially on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wimped out on 4th and goal and kicked a field goal when they needed to make a statement. Agree with you on the 4th and goal. Omaha went for it early on 4th and goal and made it. UND has had success doing that this season, but didn't even try. Lennon is too conservative sometimes. I think on the road, in a place you haven't won in since 1995, you have to take risks like that. They didn't. If we had went for it on 4th and goal and failed and lost the game, it would have been easier to swallow than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyMom Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't know if I would put it all on the coaching staff. That pass interference call when it was 3rd and 21 hurt a lot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 The Sioux had one loss in 2001. It was to UNO.... And later that season, the Mavs lost three straight to end the season and the Sioux won the National Championship. Like I said above, let them have this one. When it counts late in the year, these guys don't get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 ....and the Sioux were able to host numerous home playoff games. Not this year regardless of their record. Pending a possible injunction against the NCAA in court, that could change. If we can't get it overturned, we can kiss any hopes of winning it all goodbye. If we lose another game before the playoffs, we won't be hosting any games anyway. And if Manke is out for the year after today, I think that's a very strong possibility.

SiouxFanatic Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 This was a tough loss to take. But I think last years loss to them was bigger. Is this a sign that our season is gonna go down the drain like last year? Nah I don't think so. I think we'll play just fine the rest of the season.

BigGame Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 This loss sucks, but I think there is a lot of blame to go around but UND was the better team and still couldn't get it done in Omaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any more info on Manke's injury on the radio? What makes you think he is done for the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Manke was interviewed in the post-game, and stated he would be o.k. That's good news. It's probably good that UND doesn't have another game until the 28th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 So the Sioux won't be able to win another title if they have to play on the road in the playoffs? Why's that? Was there any more info on Manke's injury on the radio? What makes you think he is done for the season? If you really believe that a team can win a national championship playing every single playoff game on the road, you are kidding yourself (especially in the region we are in). Is it possible? Sure, nothing is totally impossible. Is is likely? No way. Both years we made it to Florence (2001 and 2003) we were at home for the playoffs (all three games). In 2004, we had most of our games on the road and lost in the semifinals. That year, we beat Grand Valley State at the Alerus. I don't think we would have won if it had been at Lubbers Field. Dale Lennon always talks about how important it is to get a high playoff seed so you can host games. Being at home for the playoffs is more important in football than in any other sport. You can have some of your games on the road and get to Florence, but the deeper you get in the playoffs, the tougher the teams are and the tougher it is to win on the road. I know that Northern Colorado won back-to-back National Titles playing a lot of road games in 1996 and 1997, but they had at least some games at home. And I think they were more of the exception rather than the rule. Remember, this is not hockey, where tournament games are at regional sites. Being on the road for every playoff game means no national title. You can disagree if you want, but that is my take on it. I was merely spectulating on Manke's injury; Hammer made it sound really bad when he was sacked to end the game. I am glad he is all right. As for the rest of our schedule, Duluth at home will be tough. St. Cloud on the road (I don't care how much they are struggling) will be tough and South Dakota at home will be tough. With Manke back in two weeks (we are off next week), we'll have a good shot of running the table. Today's loss wasn't a backbreaker, just very disappointing. GO SIOUX!!!

Irish Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I too think that our D** conservative streak killed us. When they had fourth and goal, they went for it, when we had it we wimped out. Game over. Lennon and Mussman need to seriously re-evaluate their philosophy. It's killing us in tight games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
