    Re: My Take

    Haven't read all of the threads yet, but one thing I can say positive about the coaches/players yesterday - we did not have to call any stupid timeouts because of mismanagement/tardiness, etc.

    I was ready to go to Chatty again just like a lot of you, but we must remember that all the teams are good at this time of year. Think of how crazy the game was last week. UNH could easily think of 10 plays that may have changed the score in their favor. I respect both UNH and Richmond for coming to the dome and giving us tough games.

    Going back to our even year 2-2 start, I can't help but be a little happy. We have a nationally prominent program. Let's not forget how many schools would like to have our football program. Now- I hope the odd year coming up is what we hope it can be. (I really think our recruiting level is the highest its ever been.)

    Ran in to some Spider fans at Famous Dave's after the game. They were nice, and we complimented them back. This was after we were treated to a Gatorade shower in the second row, compliments of a Richmond player. In fairness, some Panther fans were on their case pretty bad at the end. Their coaches gave the kid the riot act. This was in the last minute of the game.

    After their second touchdown came so easy I was worried. Can't really describe my feelings after the game. Weird combo of angry, sad, numb, shock. Mainly it was just a "I've been here before." '05, '07, even some '90s & '80s teams. We've got a great team, but we got beat by another one.

    In FCS, only one team wins the last game. Someday.............

      Re: My Take

      This is probably the only thread started in the last 24 hours that was positive. Thanks Newsy!

      Granted some of the thoughts/comments have steered it away from the positive. Am I disappointed... yes. Was I questioning the playcalling... yes. Am I a satisfied Panther fan... yes.

      Walking into this season I was predicting us as 8-4 and hoping for a break to make the playoffs. We exceeded my expectations and I had fun watching. Here is one fan who is already anxious for the 2009 season to get underway with Farley at the helm!

      September 5th can't get here quick enough!

        Only one forward pass over the line of scrimmage per play, right?
        My bad on that one didnt even think of that
        Yep this is the idiot of the year right here!!!!!!!!

                Are you telling me that we shouldn't fire Farley, and then hire a worker from the IGAU? Come on, it is so obvious that that would be best.
