Re: Saint Francis??

Okay, back to the game talk.

I certainly hope the coaching staff and team leadership is doing everything possible to keep the players focused on this game becaus everything I can find out about St. Francis would indicate that this is likely to be a monumental mismatch. The only thing that would indicate other wise is the 24-14 loss at New Hampshire.

Otherwise, some facts on St. Francis:

Their Head Coach is in his 8th season and has a career record of 16-60. Those 16 wins are good for 5th on their all-time wins list as a coach.
Their overall record is 165-343-12 good for a .317 all time winning percentage.
Their own media guide claims that due to injuries the defense was the highlight of their 2008 season when they went 0-11. That defense gave up an average of 33.2 ppg.
They do return two LB's that ranked in the top 10 in tackles last year with 142 and 122 respectively, so I guess they did get some stops on defense.
Their current roster breakdown consists of 12 SR, 18 JR, 34 SO and 35 FR; they return 15 letterwinners and lost 6. Not sure how that adds up. Most of their players are from Pennsylvania (duh, 68) followed by Maryland (13) and NJ (7). They do have 2 from Hawaii, but none from Samoa, so I think we are safe there.

Glad to see that people like you still exist. You have restored my faith in humanity!

About the game, does anyone think that Farley might be more aware of the appearance of running up the score? Not that I care but he might care what people think. (I might have just answered my own question )

Re: Saint Francis??

I hope he does run it up. I hope we win by 80. No more effing around.

Re: Saint Francis??

You can't run up the score the first half - lay it on

Re: Saint Francis??

...and on their football website under schedule, they have us listed as Northern Iowa University. Go figure

They no doubt got that from ESPN. I hope they don't travel to DeKalb.

That would be a shame if we didn't get an opportunity to run our 2-minute drill at the end of the half because we won by forfeit.



PS - Not that I'm saying St. Francis will be a cakewalk -- my guess and hope is that they'll put together a better test for UNI than USD.

That said, if UNI doesn't come away with a convincing win, I suspect this will be the atmosphere around this board for the next week:

Re: Saint Francis??

I'm thinking the margin of victory will be like 55-7 or even worse. Apparently their starting quarterback is a freshman (might even be a true frosh). St. Francis may have played well at New Hampshire but lets face it, the atmosphere in Durham don't compare to that of the Dome. This will be the most hostile environment any of their players have ever seen. Panthers roll up +500 yards and force at least 4-5 turnovers. Carlos Anderson rushes for first career 100 yard game.

I'd say they have a better shot at that game.

I heard that guy smoked pot.
He should be kicked out of the band.

Re: Saint Francis??

Nice. We don't really have a laughing emoticon, so those will have to do.

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. I might keep it as a running gag since it was such a big deal last year.

As for Mr. Garcia, I don't think he needed to smoke anything, all he really had to do was inhale at any point during most of their concerts.
