Spiders v. Bison In-game thread

[Stonewall D]

2 INT so far.

 

[DTSpider]

Yes! Needed a break.

 

[PhillySpider]

So the reality is that they are at a different level.

 

[bongturk]

Could be game, another TD by NDSU. We really aren't in the same class, so far. Real challenge for Rocco, how do you keep our guys from clocking out. We are being beat play after play. They are a better team. So, this is why coaches make the big bucks. Convince our players, that the next play counts. Make the most of every opportunity.

Play with Broadus should have been a pass. Brown was not even aware of where the ball was on the long pass. Diggs flinched when the pass came not wanting to be hit on the pass over the middle. The main problem, however, is these guys have forgotten that to tackle you have to hit low and wrap your arms around the runner's legs.

 

[SpiderK]

6 people just tackled Green

 

[TBSpyder]

We've had 2 yards rushing in first half, why are we still running it? or why not use Fisher?

 

[TBSpyder]

Another false start?

 

[Go spiders]

you would have thought the first game of the year against MD would have prepared us for tonight

 

[SpiderK]

Thought these guys practiced in the NOISE?? Must have been the Carpenters music.

 

[TBSpyder]

A good pass to Brown, wide open. But, again, we have other receivers.

 

[SpiderK]

Jacob dropped ball he should have caught

 

[urfan1]

K I know its bad, but do you really support the Spiders?

 

[TBSpyder]

Okay, we did try another receiver, pass was well defended. 3rd down coming up, we need at least a FG.

 

[PhillySpider]

Had chances. Brown open, the int. chances, that series where we had 2nd and one and and turned it over on downs, a few drops, their missed kicks, now a TO and we get nothing.

 

[SpiderK]

Butter Ball????????! Drops!!!

 

[PhillySpider]

Look how aggressive their D is .

 

[SpiderK]

Geez we suck!!!

 

[urfan1]

that really hurt

 

[PhillySpider]

And at least 5 missed tackles on that return.

 

[Stonewall D]

And an obvious block i n the back and they score a TD.

 

[SpiderK]

Little white full back takes us to the house on a punt return. How embarrassing.

 

[TBSpyder]

Give me a break, punt returner was well covered, and he runs for a TD. I fear that's the end of game, may turn off game. Our guys are going to kick themselves tomorrow. I don't believe NDSU is that much better than UR. They're better, but they've just brought their game, and we haven't. Tackling has really been poor.

 

[SpiderK]

We look poorly coached.

 

[97spiderfan]

Spider k, please go be a ram or duke fan. You would fit in really well with both fanbases.

 

[urfan1]

K show me you can say anything positive about the team you say you support

 

[Go spiders]

anyone like my prediction??? 52-10

 

[Go spiders]

great year but awful ending

 

[DTSpider]

NDSU is as good as advertised. As already stated, they are like an FBS team. Actually - they would smoke MD

 

[TBSpyder]

Another false start!

 

[SpiderRick]

Is there a mercy rule?

 

[97spiderfan]

We are snake bitten, but North Dakota St. Is really good. They would beat a lot of fcs programs in their building.

 

[SpiderK]

K show me you can say anything positive about the team you say you support

Uniforms are pretty??

 

[TBSpyder]

I can't fault anyone for being negative. This is a butt whipping. Looks like NDSU may score again before half.

I think our team is outclassed, our coaches, are outcoached. Yet, before season, who predicted we'd be in the semi-finals? This has been a successful season. And if we look at Illinois State game, you have to think, we missed an opportunity to win today, we are that good.

 

[SpiderRick]

The reality is it's 26-0 but it feels like 50-0. Do we have more than one first down?

Let's go save some face and go win the second half.

 

[DTSpider]

The takeaway from today is that we have to keep from having to play in the FargoDome.

 

[AnnapSpider]

I wonder what's on the Hallmark Channel?

 

[urfan1]

well that was as poor a hilf as we have played in some time -- 2nd half is for pride

 

[Stonewall D]

And an obvious block i n the back and they score a TD.

They keep showing this play.

 

[Captain Anderson]

They are obviously the better team but did anyone else notice the multiple blocks in the back on those punt returns?

No mention by the announcers. Sour grapes by me but those two returns were huge momentum swings. Not sure about some of these false starts either...replay would be nice.

 

[wr70beh]

I can't remember a game that was so painful to watch than this one. They really do take your will away from you. They haven't won 4 straight championships for nothing. I had a bad feeling. Unfortunately, it's been realized.

 

[TBSpyder]

One point loss to Villanova, really hurt us. Yes, it's nice to play at home, in postseason. Regardless of how game goes, let's give kudos to team for a successful year. Only 4 teams reach semifinals.
