Re: Very Typical....

I could not agree more.

At this point, screw him. Let Iowa State take him. I don't care how well you play during the regular season, as poorly as he does in the post season, who cares? I love the guy, but this shiat is getting re-god-damn-diciulous.

I am so sick and tired of getting RIGHT THERE and then pissing it away.

You have posted several times in the last few minutes, and each post has been more ignorant than the last.

Re: Very Typical....

Simple. If you're a big time player, in a big game, then make plays. You get the credit when things go well so don't be surprised when criticism takes place when you choke in a big game. Remember, I defended him last week in a couple of threads because I believed he was being unjustly attacked. However, this week it was pretty obvious that we were dominant in every aspect of the game except QB play and that cost us the opportunity to play for a National Championship.

There is plenty of blame to go around ... the defense, offensive play calling, defensive play calling, fg accuracy, dropped balls, overthrown balls .... but your peronal attack on Grace is unbelievable. I guess being a Drama Queen involves getting shots in your shoulder and knee before, during and after games to curb the pain, not being able to sleep well because of the pain, going under the knife in the off-season to repair ligaments and taking on LBs and safeties with no hesitation. I'm sure he knew that ESPN would have a camera zeroed in on his face when his knee got wrenched so he decided to fein pain

I guess I am going to get personal ...
LuvThePanthers: you have revealed that you are either very immature, lost a lot of money, were drunk, need perspective or a combination of the above.

Go away.

Re: Very Typical....

This is somewhat of a cross post since I am pulling some lines verbatim from another thread that I posted to however I am compelled to respond again to the short-sighted critics of this years team and those compelled to launch personal attacks on individual players.

This team has come so far this season! All week I was thinking back to spring game, pre-season and how under-rated we truly ended up being. This team was basically viewed as a mystery team by most of the FCS world and that was echoed by most Panther fans. All the talk was how much experience we lost at many positions such as most of the O-line and defensive secondary and how our QB was untested and unknown. There wasn't any play-off talk to speak of. This team was considered to be in a re-building phase by most and most of the buzz was about HOPING that we would have a respectable finish in the MVC as our unknowns gained experience.

I am very, very proud of this team and all that they accomplished throughout this season. They faced all kinds of adversity in experienced opponents and internal loss and consistently came out shining all the way to and including this semi-final match. Let's not so quickly forget that this Richmond opponent categorically dismantled their play-off opponents all the way until tonight. They destroyed Appalachian State by 20 points! Our fine team lost by the slimest margin possible in football. Our mystery team of unknowns and want of experience came within 1 point and 14 seconds of a chance at the national championship!!! They took us closer to the title than our undefeated, number 1 ranked team of a year ago did. They have shown us what heart, diligence, faith and extra effort is all about! I thank each and every one of them for an incredible ride all season long!

Those who would disparage any of these fine young men show us a complete lack of heart and the utter inability to recognize diligence, faith and extra effort. In fact, you simply show us just how little you actually know about football, team and individual effort, and the spirit that is UNI Panther Football. Hell, you should stop watching football all together because you likely will never understand what football is.

To the Panther Players, Coaches and entire organization: Thank you for a wonderful season of excited and fulfilling football. Thank you for developing into the kind of team that all UNI fans can be proud of, are proud of and will remember for years to come. Thank you for your awe-inspiring effort and the heart that you brought with you every day and put on display for us each Saturday or game day all season long. To the Seniors and others who move into the next phase of your lives, you have shown us what leadership looks like and I respectfully thank you for all that you have done while here and I wish you all success, prosperity, health and happiness in your future endeavors. I am certain that you will do well. To the remaining, I can hardly wait for next season to begin!

Thanks for taking the time to write what most of us are thinking...

Re: Very Typical....

If you're a big time fan, step your game up. Get involved in this program and join the PSC. Glad to see you had enough insight for 29 posts this year. Grow up. Pat put his health and heart on the line for us this year. It was devestating to see him crumple to the field after the last play.

Oops, my bad. I didn't realize that the quality of posts was directly related to the quantity. Simply because some posters choose to display their ignorance on a regular basis and thus pile up more posts doesn't mean they are any more credible or correct.

Sorry if I insulted your hero, your god, your icon. I defended him last week when I felt it was unfair and I'll stand by my statements this week.

Please add one more post to my total which brings me to 30. Hopefully that gets me closer to the rest of the geniuses who have a higher volume of posts.

I was never that big of a fan of Grace. If you spent much time on the board you would know that. But he gave us the best chance to win. He isn't a "complete" QB. If he can get his accuracy up for next year, then he may be our hero and our icon.

I also think the quality of your posts is lacking.

Re: Very Typical....

I wish I never mentioned Billy or Pat's name in starting this thread. I know these kids tried their best.

However, I'm very sick of the Semi-Finals BS. We have only played a game once in the Semi's where we were truly out-classed and that was Marshall in 1996.

I think the reason sooooo many people are upset is when you look at UNH....they have and have had half the talent of us. They scheme soo much better. A team with much less talent gives us absolute fits.

Here again tonight, looking at what were supposed to be Amazing DE's for Richmond....they were not as good as ours. Their defense was not as good as ours. Their offense was not as good as ours....we didn't even have gray and williams out there and we still had better talent.

Yes, Flacco was a great talent, but our team as a whole had more talent.

I don't understand why these games are soo close. Everyone of the games should have been lopsided.

One of these years we'll finally win it all. The funny thing about it....it will probably go down as the best UNI team in history....and in all likely-hood it might be UNI's 10th best.....

Re: Very Typical....

I'm not so sure you can say UNH has half the talent we do.

Yeah...I don't think it's at all fair to say that.

Re: Very Typical....

Thank you Chippewa I couldn't have said it better. I hurt just as much as the next guy and I am sure the players and coaches hurt more.

This needs to stop. We would of not played today if Pat Grace was not on our team. End of story.

What do you mean we would not have played today if it weren't for Pat?

Look, I am not going to sit here and say that Pat should be ridiculed, or thrown under the bus, but I am not going to sit by and listen to comments like that. Lets say Zack Davis plays the whole game against Maine, we still win right? What about N.H.? We probably would have won by more. If Davis plays yesterday and can catch a football, or hit a wide open receiver, we are booking flights to Chattanooga. Yes, I know none of this is guaranteed, but you can't say Grace helped us more than hurt us this post season. If you say it, or type it, you are just being a homer and obviously didn't watch the games.

Oh, and saying it to Pats face, no one here should have to. Trust me, no one is criticizing the plays over the last two weeks than Pat is.

Jeg is right on this, IMO. It's hard to believe that Grace was our best option the past two weeks. He's certainly not a bad QB, and I hope he's able to play fully healthy next year. He shouldn't get the starting job by virtue of being the #1 guy this year, however.

Re: Very Typical....

Tough game guys...looked as though the play calling was a little suspect. But that is hindsight. I think you guys represented the conference well...and losing your WR in November (I just found that out yesterday), shows that there must be some good coaching going on at UNI.

Good season guys...come on up to the Fargodome for some tailgating/football next year and see how the "new" guys do it.

Re: Very Typical....

I question the fact that he was 100% yesterday, or even the week before. I understand he is trying to be "tough" but at some point in time if you hurt your team because of it you are being selfish. Just a thought.

Maybe I'm ignoring a couple of big missed opportunities, but I think going into yesterday we would have loved to see:

19-28 for 229 yards, 2TD, and no turnovers. I'm not saying PG was great, but I don't think we win the game with Davis either.
