Incredible 2nd half domination....I wonder what was going through Herb Donaldson's head after that 315 yard performance the week before???
We enjoyed a great game, great weather, great fan support....could it GET any better?

[DomeRanger Posse]

How about the fact that WIU ran 3 offensive plays in the entire third quarter?

[Blue42]

That 2nd half may have set WIU's program back 10 years. That had to be demoralizing.

[pantherclaw]

Yeah escpecially since they had all those recruits there, nobody's going to want to play for them. I wouldnt' be surprised if maybe we got a few recurits to think about coming to UNI

[Panther-at-Arms]

Yeah, it was ugly, but I don't think it set the program back any. There is no shame in losing like that to a dominating number one ranked team. And lets not forget this is the Gateway...ANYONE can still win this conference. Well, except Indiana State.

Herb who............................................... ...........?

[JayJ79]

Herb Donaldson is a great runningback.
But UNI has an even greater defense,
especially when there wasn't really much of a WIU passing threat and our D could key on the run a bit more.

[unigriff]

i thought the same thing oldcat.

its amazing to witness...just like 2005, every team we are playing has a superb playmaker and the coaching staff is pushing just the right buttons to slow those players down if not stop them. Meyer/Blythe at ISU, Ill. States running back..(had one big run adn was done) Randle/Turner/Hill for SIU, and now Herby....held all of them below their avgs. (well except hill who threw for a ton of yards). The coaching staff and D are for real!

I thought UNI played amazing, it was a great atmosphere, but one thing bothered me. The fans chanting "one team, one goal"? I was sitting in the leatherneck section, at midfield and they thought that was rubbing it in. I kind of got thinking and it was kind of cocky on out part. That is something that we chant at the national title game, not in macomb ill beating the crap out of a team. Just a personal opinion, but i knew the leatherneck fans did not appreciate it.

[JayJ79]

Bah. We made the trip, we should be able to cheer for the whole game, not just half of it.

It was cheering for our team, not taunting the other team or their fans. (though there were a few drunk students taunting the WIU mascot, which was stupid and unsportsmanlike).

I agree...there is nothing cocky about that cheer. It really has nothing to do with the leathernecks at all, or any other team we are playing. What is the difference between yelling that or yelling "U-N-I?"

[Mountain Panther]

I suppose ANY cheer would upset you when you're down by 40 points.

[Newsbreaker]

You don't want people cheering in your house? Don't get pounded in your house.

[84Alum]

I agree...the One Team, One Goal cheer was showing support for OUR team, and what THEY are trying to accomplish this year. Didn't have a thing to do with WIU...
