Fargo media needs to grow a pair and ask these coaches some real questions

Um, well, she IS a rookie after all.

no she's not. if by rookie you mean first year at NDSU? Otherwise, no

They would have done it with more sophistication and intelligence, as opposed to, Is Cam the starter next week?

Why dance around the issue? I like a direct question in that situation. And if Entz went into the post game presser not prepared to answer that question well shame on him. Just one more indicator he may be in over his head and not able to handle adversity. Calling timeouts to just yell/complain to officials is another major red flag. We fans have complaining about calls more than covered. He lost his composure during the game and so did the team. Thank God Petrino did the ol hold my beer trick.

She might have said----Considering Cams game winning performance of two clutch TDs is there a chance he moves up the depth chart?

Entz was a pretty big dick in his response. Gets paid what 100k for media. Literally being paid to be well spoken and diplomatic. Fail

I think we're seeing the effects of how NDSU football/athletics is the clear #1 sports attraction in Fargo and it makes the media (not just 1660) afraid to butt heads with the NDSU football talking heads because they're worried they'll get frozen out if they ruffle too many feathers. I recall reading similar things about most P5 college towns being in non-professional sports cities and the media uses kid gloves because of it with those P5 college programs because they've got nothing else to fall back on. For instance, you won't see sports media in Tuscaloosa hammering the Tide like the sports media in the Twin Cities hammers the Goophers.

So what questions should WDAY be asking... that are real questions that would get real answers?

In some cases I don't think it's getting real answers but it's keeping on with the tough questions and if/when the coach gives a halfhearted non-answer they don't just let him off the hook and move on but they follow up and press him further.

A good example was in Entz's presser after the UND game Ross Uglem did ask him about getting his playmakers move involved and Entz gave him the expected non-answer and general endorsement of his offense. Would've loved for Ross to follow up with "So does that mean you were satisfied with how Christian Watson was utilized?" But I think it's easy for us to critique the media when we don't have to deal with the backlash that being a dick to an NDSU head football coach would entail.

Man, I would hate to see what it looks like here when we have a losing record. Yeah we have some things to work on, but for the love of god, we are 7-0!!

He said absolutely nothing with that answer that would indicate to me that getting the ball to Watson more was an emphasis.
