Christ everyone is acting like if they called PI we would in turn have gotten the 7 points. Did you forget to remember we had 0 timeouts at that point and so dumbass TR would have called a power run play. It would have been stopped and we would have trotted out the FG team. Same result with less time remaining.
You keep saying "boomers" but I suspect a fairly low percentage of those flaming away on message boards are boomers. In my experience, it's the younger generations that are online more. In any event, does someone's generation automatically make them right or wrong? I guess you're ok with the negative comments from millenials then?
Full disclosure, I'm Gen X. I'm feeling a little bit left out, the terms millenials and boomers are often used in a pejorative way, no one says crap about us Gen Xers anymore!

My take on the game....we missed some chances in the first half that could have given a little breathing room and forced ISU to throw. If we convert, it would have gotten ugly very quickly because they would have had to try to pass.
In the second, I was expecting us to eventually make a few of those plays and blow it open. It never happened.
At some point later in the 3rd quarter, I think the staff just decided, "I don't think they can score 9 points so let's just play it safe and play field position". If this is the case, I think it was a questionable decision because it leaves you open to losing the game on one fluke play, which is always a possibility. If they would have had a 14 point+ lead, then I would understand it more.
If that wasn't the case, then I question the play calling in the 2nd half. If they're bringing pressure from all over to stpo the run, it would seem like there would be an opening in the quick passing game but I won't pretend to know the detailed Xs and Os.
In any event, it's over. It's a win. I suspect they'll regroup and play much better against MSU.

North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.Bob Lutz, The Wichita Eagle, August 30th, 2013
Roehl deserves plenty of criticism for the offensive ineptitude yesterday but I will say that he's had a tremendous first year calling plays and yesterday doesn't change that. They replaced 8 starters on that side of the ball and up until yesterday's game they had actually been more efficient than the 2018 offense (which was the most efficient offense in the D1 era). There was bound to be a game like this with a rookie OC. Let's hope he learns from it and is better for it moving forward. I doubt anyone here is harder on him than Tyler is on himself so I have a feeling he'll have his group back up the ridiculously high standards they set for themselves throughout the year when they get out there next Saturday.
