Postgame From USD fan

[yoteforever]

Wow, you laid a major ass whipping on us yesterday. I did post that I thought there was a chance we would fold our tents, and you would smack us good, I never ever would have guessed that outcome.

UNI is an extremely good football team, maybe the best team we have ever played in the history of our school. Your team was nearly flawless, and I wish you luck the balance of the season.

A couple of comments. Pretty decent crowd although I expected more. Good student attendance. What crowd you had was loud. The tailgating outside was fun and had plenty of room. We wished we could have engaged more Panther fans, but they pretty much did their own thing. Upon entering the Dome, there were "football ambassadors" holding the door, welcoming us, answering questions.......very classy, something we need to look at.

You have a great team, and a great fan base. I do have one question that I am not even sure how I feel about. At the end of the forst half, and you are up 38-0 and we fumbled the kickoff, you went into 30 second offense and called timeouts to run it to 45. Do you think that was necessary of good sportsmanship? As I said, I don't know how to feel.

In closing, I am totally sorry we didn't show up to play. I thought we were ready, but nothing could be further from the truth. Good luck.

The Panther Ambassadors group is going to be a great addition.

I don't think you can run up the score before halftime.

Re: Postgame From USD fan

In my opinion you can't run up the score in the first half. I think we all know that UNI could have picked their score in this game. Many non-starters got their chance to show their stuff if the 2nd half and I can't blame them for going all out.

Classy post Yote!

I was listening to the game on the radio and thats the first thing I thought, Farley was taking out some aggression from last weekend. Not saying Farley would do that, but thats what I thought.

Re: Postgame From USD fan

The main factor that limited the attendance was the fact that a large percentage of Iowans are brainwashed into following the two lesser-quality D-I football programs in the state, and they played each other earlier in the day.

And if you're offended by a team running their offense in the first half, perhaps you should stick with jr. high athletics.

But you do get respect for actually coming back and making a postgame post here.
I wish you and the Yotes the best of luck with the rest of your season.

I've honestly never heard of someone being accused of "running up the score" or the equivalent in the first half. You don't call off the dogs until sometime in the 3rd quarter at the earliest.

That's fair. We stunk anyway so it didn't make any difference. This is the best football team (UNI) I have ever seen in FCS, and I mean that.

You guys are good, and deserve a "full house".

Re: Postgame From USD fan

We took most of our starters out after one series of the second half. If a team can't handle that, thats their problem. We have to get our guys playing time. I agree, its impossible to run up the score before the half.

Other than that, thanks for the compliments yote. We are definitely proud of what we have right now. Good luck in your FCS future.

Re: Postgame From USD fan

I have heard many times that the best way to simulate game situations is to do it during a game and I am guessing that is why the Panthers played the end of the 2nd quarter the way they did. It was a great early season opportunity for the Panthers to run their hurry-up offense.

Re: Postgame From USD fan

This team DOES deserve "fuller" crowds, that is undeniable. But, those that were there did a great job with the noise and atmosphere. Big props to the students!! Next week should be "Bring a friend to the Dome" week. Those that aren't witnessing this in person are missing out.

You can't simulate the two minute drill in practice. May as well do it when you have the chance early in the season with limited risk.

That's fair and I agree. I'll sign out now and see you back on your board next year. Kick some butts people and win the national championship. That is the best team I have seen play our school...............ever.

Best wishes, and we'll see you next year

p.s. I hope you win the national championship with the 30 second drill you did perfectly on us. Now I feel better
