QB Situation

Re: QB Situation

Let's be honest here. Grace has had a downward spiral since the NDSU game. Coach mentioned the flu this weekend and that he wished they had the bye week before the SIU game. It's possible Grace could be battling something...flu definitely makes you lose your cognitive ability. But, it's also possible that Grace lost that spark we saw earlier this season. Either way, it's gotta change whether playoffs are a possibility or not.

Start Grace 1st half of the YSU game...if we aren't seeing the PG13 we knew from the Iowa game, then bench him at half and let the Davis era begin...imo.

Re: QB Situation

Where did I disrespect UNI? Nobody at SDSU has anything BUT respect for what UNI has done over the years. All anybody from SDSU has said is that we played well and that had something to do with the outcome of the game, something your own fans have criticized Pat Grace for failing to acknowledge.

Let me buck the trend here by saying that I love Iowa. I used to live there and got my Ph.D. at the University of Iowa. I am old enough to remember UNI in the North Central Conference and respect that institution, too. Last week before our game with NDSU, I was watching UNI vs. SIU on TV and rooting for the Panthers. Last year, I rooted for the Panthers through the playoffs. And I'll continue to be a Panthers fan when they're not playing SDSU.

Thanks JimmyJack. I'm impressed with your team and respect them as well. And S Dakota is a nice place for anyone who is into being outdoors. Also, I always eat at one of your sub stores when available. What? Oh, never mind.

The flu doesn't affect your ability to see that the guy you are throwing to as you are getting sacked is wearing white and black SIU jersey....or any of the other dumbass mistakes Pat has made. He put up huge numbers against St. Francis...HA, InSt...ha...USD...HA


Grace needs to get off the field

Re: QB Situation

Try winning as many division I conference titles & getting playoff bids yr after yr after year & beating multiple IA teams over the years (all at their place) before you start popping off about respect. You beat a good UNI team at home on a sloppy field. UNI is in disarray, has issues at QB...etc. Be happy w/ the win, but that was far from some type of validation for SDSU to be compared to UNI in the same breath. Many will say you will never get respect based on the fact you are located in South Dakota. That alone is a huge issue in & of itself.

Dude your in Iowa......there is not much difference in states like Iowa, SD and ND, so please quit acting holier than thou. With that bieng said.......Good Luck running the table.

Re: QB Situation

jimmy, you are on a uni board complaining about us not getting on our knees to kiss the proverbial ass of sdsu. If we play you three or more weeks before we did, we beat you by 21+. Piss off and go whine to somebody else. You won and aren't going to get any pity here.
On the subject of fat grace, he still kicks ass at karaoke on Wednesdays at the op.

I totally agree about In St and St. Francis...I was thinking more along the lines of the final drive at Iowa where Grace and crew systematically picked apart the Iowa defense to set up a chance for a game winning field goal...

...but now that you've reminded me of all those bad memories-- let the Davis era begin.

Do you still work in the TO? I'm surprised they would have rules against talking about how many tickets are left for sale, but it would be okay to come on a message board and slam individual players the way you have been doing all day today. You are disparaging the whole team and coaching staff with your comments whether you realize it or not, and doing your best to discourage ticket sales. If I was in charge you would be looking for a job.

If there were such a word as douchery, it would perfectly describe how I feel about 100% of your posts. Do you also go by lakesbison?

Re: QB Situation

I'm with TH on this one. Why should I look for a different job or be fired? Because of the observations I made about Grace not putting numbers up against the good teams the last two weeks? The observation I made that he doesn't celebrate with the team? The observation of him slamming stuff all over on the sidelines when he screws up but then when he quickly points the blame on the WR running the wrong route? When he threw the ball right to the arms of the SIU LB and the closest eligible receiver around there was about 10 yards away with the game on the line? Agreeing with the observation that it seems to speak loudly of what teammates think when they don't vote the returning SR preseason Payton Award watch list quarterback captain of the team?


These are my observations and my opinions, they do not reflect those of anyone but me. If anyone things they reflect anyone but me, please seek help. I am allowed to voice my opinion on something, unrelated to my job. If you were my boss I'd probably quit before you could fire me.

Re: QB Situation

I've been a big Grace supporter until last week. It is clear he doesn't give a flying f*ck about anything or anyone on the field except his fat ass. He doesn't celebrate with the team but it quick to point fingers at others on the sideline even when it is him that f*cks up.


Play Davis. Davis actually seems to care about the rest of the team when he is out there, and isn't worried about what f*cking bar he is going to following the game.


Grace, you had your chance, now get the hell of the field and let someone on the field who gives a damn.


I have never saw someone so disconnected from the rest of the team like Pat is. Doesn't celebrate with the team, goes off the field right to the phone, slams his helmet, slams the phone, then sits all by himself until they go back on the field.

I don't care if he speaks negatively about the team or individual players. That said, I don't think it is a good idea for someone who works in the UNI ticket office to call a player fat, or to swear in every other sentence in a public forum.

These aren't "observations." This is an immature kid venting in the same forum where he consistently reveals that he is an employer of the UNI ticket office.

At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter what I think. I would assume, however, that if someone emailed his comments to someone of power in the UNI ticket office the problem would be addressed.
