    He's literally scrounging around for things to write about, the guy is such a tool. And no a tool is not a journalist.

    Hey McFooly, if you're reading this why didn't the heraldo use a photo illustration in Tommy boys article about MVSU rather then a pic of the Bison? Yeah I thought it was a great troll job too, keep up the great work at the foolum!

    Sure pissed off the Flying dodos didnt it.

    It's literally as if he's writing that article for about 10 people on Bisonville. Does the average sports fan in the Foolum reading area even care about the two teams that played in that game?

    It certainly gives us something to talk about that's for sure.

    I think he misunderstood what many of where complaining about. We weren't worried about the quality of the two teams playing but rather how bad their play made the FCS looked on a National platform. The two years NDSU played in the game, they didn't play their best either, but still looked like a competent team. NC AT&T didn't play that bad, but JSU looked like a team just beginning Fall Camp.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    I don't have a problem with discussing weakness either... and I'd have some respect for McFeely if I thought he was actually writing the article with something in mind other than a sensational headline to get people to click on it. And if he mixed it in with a dose of reality to offset his gloom and dome. Examples. Whole article on receivers didn't even mention our tight ends and running back groups in the passing scheme. To me that more than offsets our lack of depth and experience at WR. In his article on Hendricks taking snaps at QB.. did he even mention that our depth at safety and how good Wimbush is looking is what allows Hendricks to take the time to keep taking some reps at QB? No, focused on "lack of confidence" in Hotchkiss and Sanders. In his article on special teams... quoted every category where the Bison rank 80th, 85th, 102nd, but do you think that's maybe because we play in the toughest conference in the FCS? Like I said, I'd have more respect for McFeely if I saw a little more balance to his articles. An overall discussion of the strengths and weaknesses... not just peddling the negatives. His points are valid, but I just don't like the guy's style.

    On the discussion about receiver depth. I thought Demitri had a very good game against USD last year, made some big time catches. Does anyone else think that maybe his switch to RB is more an indication that depth at that position is not as bad as McFooly may think? For a guy that played there for a few years and did an okay job from my eyes, this move kind of surprised me....and I think it has more to do with depth and playing time for Demitri than it does him not being a good WR.
