Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

Re: Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

Great.... I really thought those were NDSU announcers when I was watching the game....

Also, this was the 2nd time I heard the term 'goalzone'. Is that a real term? Did it replace the Red Zone? Is Red Zone not PC to say anymore? It really bothers me when I hear them say goalzone... I don't know why.

A couple years ago the "cool" thing was to call it the "go zone" because once you're in it, you need to go.

People are stupid.

Re: Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

awesome. I assume that they will start selling some SRO tickets now? We should be able to get more people in there now with the north concourse open.

Re: Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

I wouldn't say that Paschall made us look silly.
He had 115 yards, but that was on 19 carries. So only a 6.1 yard avg.
No, we didn't totally shut him down, but it's not like he was running wild either.

Though I agree, we can't let SIU have the ball for as long as NDSU did.

I guess Silly compared to how we have been playing, Panthers are just setting the bar too high! But we can't let Karim get that many yards per carry, I want to see him getting 3 or less! 3 per carry is too much.

I just went to the website and was able to reserve a seat in section g-f row 28. So this is not true. Heck even if you want 4 seats together it is possible.

I, however, will not be purchasing the ticket as I have season tickets.

With the VB game afterward can we even do SRO tix? Without the McLeod open for restrooms, that might be a little difficult....

6.1 yards per carry is WAY WAY too much. Our defense should not be allowing a running back to get that many per carry. We do that against SIU we better hope our offense scores every time they have the ball. Karim is more than capable of getting that many per carry, and if he does they are going to put the ball in the endzone more often than NDSU did.

Re: Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

Anyone else feel we played a very vanilla/base defense against NDSU?

[Purrrrrfect]

Re: Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

actually Paschall was a non factor. HE had 115 yards. 32 of which was on one play in the second half, and he only had 42 at the half on 14 carries. He had only 5 carries in the 2nd half. take away the 32 yarder against a tired UNI D, and he had 18 carries for 83 yards or 4.6 ypc. He isn't that good against a good D. Our defense was tired after being on the field the majority of the game. Law was better and even Carlos looked better than PP on saturday. PP is a good back, but he's not that special.

I don't see any reason why they can't open the McLeod for restrooms.
Considering that a football ticket gets you free admission into the volleyball match that night. So it's not like they'd have to worry about people "sneaking" into the VB match without a ticket.

Red Zone is considered not PC only in North Dakota. Ask some UND fans.

Re: Next Up: Southern Illinois Salukis

Home team usually does take this one. I'm concerned about our run defense after Paschall made us look silly, but we still got the win. We really need to limit the 3rd down conversions in this one, to preserve the defense into the 4th quarter. NDSU had the ball for 38 min to our 22, we can't do that against SIU. We let SIU run the ball at our defense for 38 minutes I think we lose this game.

Paschall made us look silly? He only had 115.

I stand corrected.

I did get one on line.

Why did the guy in the ticket office say they were all sold out?

I'm sure it will be open. We have had V-ball games after football games before, and I think we have still made it open for people during the football games.

One thing that I've unfortunately realized is that not everyone in our ticket office always has a clue what they are talking about.
