Hawk was creative in describing why we got beat: "out-played, out-executed, out-energied, out-desired and out-everthinged." Saying that this would be "a good lesson" for the team is about the only thing he could find to say that wasn't completely negative.

Time to put this game behind us, regroup and see if they can begin to turn things around at North Dakota.

Official attendance: 10,011

It's going to be really tough. We have some glaring weaknesses at the moment:

1) We have not be able to rush the ball consistently and effectively
2) We have not been able to protect Maier and give him time
3) We have not been able to establish a good pass rush
4) We have not been able establish a deep pass threat

Northern Colorado 27 Idaho 24
Idaho State 51 Portland State 24
EWU 35 North Dakota 20
MSU 49 NAU 31

The students might have been louder if they had something to cheer about. This was a total beatdown by the Griz. We were never really in the game. Honestly, I think we were outplayed and out-coached today. To play this poorly with a good crowd and lots of students is extremely disappointing to say the least.

Unfortunately, you can say goodbye to most of the students for the next home game after what they saw today. We may have been ranked #4 or 5 going into this game but we didn't even play like a team that should be in the top 20. We will drop like a stone in the rankings and deservedly so after getting dominated like this.

The Griz have absolutely dismantled the Aggies...

Ags are getting their butts kicked in front of a big crowd...wow...what a bummer

Every frickin' week something is messed up with the video stream....

Capacity crowd?

How big is the crowd?

I just tuned in from Nova Scotia...good grief...

I'm in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, now and the place where we're staying has good internet. I hope I'll be able to watch the game on Big Sky TV. We're 4 hours ahead of PT. I think this is going to be a really tough battle. GO AGS!

I was in Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland, and after a long day of hiking in Gros Morne National Park, I came back to our rental cottage looking forward to listening to the game on KHTK. I too gave up after tuning in several times during the first half only to hear general sports news continuing. It was frustrating to say the least. I ended up listening to the NDSU radio broadcast and, I have to say, they did a really good job.

This is a really funny tweet form Jono Metzger-Jones, Assistant Men's BB Coach, about his wife, who is a WSU fan, watching the UCLA comeback:
