*** OFFICIAL NDSU EPIC MELTDOWN THREAD ***

[ShopTalk]

I'll start it off with this observation: North Dakota fans still have to return to North Dakota.

How bad are the NDSU fans right now?

Not bad enough whatever it is. They need to beat us over the head with this so badly we never want to live through it again.

This is Waldeneque and that is not a stretch.

Giving up 503 total yards to a 1-AA school, and only able to produce 253 is pathetic!

 

[CyBroncos]

After we go 2-10 or 3-9 this year, JP is going to have to sit down and take a hard look at this program and the direction of it. Rhoads is very popular and well-liked but do we want a popular coach and have this be the status quo or make a change and hope we can find a guy who can win.

 

[SDClone]

I am glad it wasn't a night game and had to wait all day for this nuclear disaster!

messingham should be fired for 2nd time; JP should be demoted to becoming cyride coordinator; CPR should be demoted to concession coordinator; Hoiberg should be promoted to head football coach. end rant.

They had nearly 300-yds rushing and averaged 7.1 ypc. Crockett looked like APeterson

I say cheat our ***** off and pay the price later, self imposed death penalty maybe?

 

[cyclone2001]

Who are these guys supporting CPR still , you come from a 3 win season and then you start the new season by getting blown out by an FCS team in your house. So CPR did not do **** in the off season. This guy has no idea how to evaluate talent and coach them. Time to give some one else 2 million a year. I say mangino take over this team. CPR probably infected the great mangino with his stupidity

I hate to say it but the defense was even worse than I ever could have imagined. Not good. I guess the positive is that I think we match up better with Big 12 offenses than the power that NDSU threw at us.

Slow doesn't help against any offense

Time to offer the Bison head coach 2million a year

This thread isnt needed. Just merge with the game day thread.

 

[inCyteful]

I find myself yearning for last year.

 

[ShopTalk]

OK, you guys are getting me warmed up: The defense is as soft as a baby's bottom and for those looking to score, as inviting as a whorehouse.

Oh yes it is. Gameday is over my friend, but wailing and gnashing of teeth has just begun.

 

[Dandy]

@ROBWGRAY: Rhoads on Farniok: Tom's going to be Ok" MCL strain. Not as bad as last year, he added.

Why didn't we put him back in then?! FUDGE!! (Wanted to curse there, obviously)

 

[GrindingAway]

No epic meltdown. Just apathy.

I'm as emotional about this loss as our players appeared to be during it.

Yep... this game wasn't as close as the score would indicate.

Luckily for us, NDSU used up the entire play clock on nearly every single play. Otherwise it could have ended up more like 55-14 or so.
