It's time for a title

[Todd Tharp]

We have been to satisfied with just being good. It's time to push this thing over the top. I hope we can sell out every game and try to make our good team into a great one!!I dont care what anyone says, a full crowd in the dome is worth at least 10 points and we need to support these guys!! Weve been too close for too long and it's time to push this thing over the top to get our first title, we got the players to do it and the coaches to do it, we just have to stick with these guys and get it done!!

Who says this? What fans, players, coaches or administrators are just "satisfied with just being good"? Sell out crowds are nice, but like Brett Crwford said speeds win championships.

To your other points, if UNI has the players and coaches why haven't they won a NC yet? It's a valid question. The program can and needs to continue to get better. There's nothing wrong with admitting that.

Fumbles.
The one recovered by Jason Hunter in Chattanooga in '05.
And the one recovered by Eric Johnson last week.

Re: It's time for a title

1992....no kenny shedd...low scoring loss to YSU at home.

1996.....a Marshall team that had more talent than a 1990s UNI all decade team....

There is no one thing here. Its not just speed. Its not just fumbles. Its gonna take alot of luck.

We will get it done, just don't know when.

Also, if you are not a member of the PSC, please join. If you already have joined....but season tickets to some sport....

Re: It's time for a title

Those are all things that happened in the past and will not help the program in the future. Look at the UD game. UD's LBs were as fast or faster than UNI's backs. UD's D-linemen out played the UNI O-line in the 2nd half. UD's WRs were faster than UNI's DBs. Those were the keys to that loss, not luck. When teams rely on luck to win they will be the ones sitting at home. I don't know how many of you guys have ever coached before, but we talk about controlling everything and if luck comes our way then accept it. But it's not part of the equation or in a game plan.

Our LBs were just as fast as theirs. The issue was more with scheme in choosing to play zone. That makes it hard to compare receivers to DBs. The teams were evenly matched. UD had 1 dlineman outplay the man he was against. They don't scoop and score a fumble or swipe Sanders and its a different game. They had ZERO turnovers to our 2. You can't make up a scoop and score against an evenly matched team.
