Chuck South Post Game Thoughts

The hail damage on the car really sucks.

Me too. Damn the dome itself probably has a good 20 million in damages. 7500 cars x 2500 a car...

Hope Jackson gets it together. Who was our backup punter last year? Can Cam punt?

I do agree with punting distance needs to improve , but were we trying to keep it away from the good return game. Therefore you punt high for complete punt coverages

1. Still the champs last time I checked.

2. That fcs kickoff game is a tough one.

3. Tim Polasek

Some apparent things to work on. Game looked like it was going the route of USD last year. CSU is a likely playoff team and returned 8 starters on an already good Fcs defense

What you need to remember is he will be receiving the snap 10-15 yards behind the LOS and those 10-15 yards don't count for shit. So he was "booming" them for 40 yards.

I apologize for using the word booming. All I'm saying is he looked way better in warmups than he did in the game. Cue the captain obvious comments that are going to say "well DURR! It was warmups!"

Yes. But just to add....our CSU defense held The Citadel to almost nothing on the ground last year and they were the nation's #1 rushing team and went for 250 vs South Carolina. CSU had a very very good FCS defense. You guys are gonna roll in 2016 I'd bet. Very physical team. This loss hurts so so bad. But I'm proud we stood toe to toe for 4 qtrs with a team like NDSU.

I will be surprised if you are not among the top 3 teams in FCS top 25 rankings next week.

Football season is back in full swing with a game under our belt. I've got about 20 different things on my mind to discuss about last night, but covering each and every thought in one post is almost overwhelming. I've seen plenty of comments from others that I want to address but am just going to give it a few more days to do so. I'm super happy the Bison are 1-0 to start the 2016 season and am glad we have 2 weeks before our next game as there a lot of things they can do to improve.

CSU local news coverage. Really like their coach - have to believe it is going to be tough for them to keep him.

Punting was a major concern. How many times last year was a punt sort of a game-changer? Especially at home. Really, how many teams are going to drive 85-95 yards on us - I'm not going to go look it up, but I'd be curious how many 85+ yard drives we gave up last year. And how many times did Lacompte (and the coverage team) do better than that by downing the ball on the 1,2, or 3 yard line. Not only does that almost guarantee a non-scoring drive by our opponent, it really can ramp up the crowd too, as the end zone crowd really can get on the opponents when they are pinned that deep. Or flipping the field with a 60 yard punt. We were totally spoiled the last few years, and that must get better.

2 board comments - I wish they would have shut off those advertising only scroll boards or whatever they're called above the 4 corner entrances while the team was getting ready to run in. It stayed way too light with those things lighting up the field. Second, I've never been a fan of things like "make some noise" or whatever showing up on the boards telling us when to cheer. I know when to cheer. I'm guessing most of the fans who have been going to games for years know when to cheer. I've always felt like those have been slightly insulting somehow. Just my opinion. The actual boards themselves look good.

I pretty much agree with everything, but, when has this ever been said? Who's they? Do you have a clip?

Wow, really? They is the universal they. "The hardest thing to do in football (or sports) is repeat" is a common saying. I changed it to 6peat. It's a play on words. Got it?

How tough is Copeland? Don't see many guys take a beating like he did and keep making plays.
