You know the season is over when.,,,,

[SALUKI FAN]

You are bouncing around other MVC boards to see what is being said...

Not a bad MVC showing with SDSU giving Montana a scare last week and SIU making it into the second round. But damn....one of us has got to win this thing soon because I am TIRED of the MVC bashing already!

Playoff time always great when we can all be MVC fans.

Re: You know the season is over when.,,,,

I disagree - a very poor MVFC showing. SIU loses a home game in the 2d round (at least we've made a habit of waiting until the semi's to fall apart) and looked bad doing it. SDSU gave Montana a "scare" but the only really scary part was how badly they folded in the 2d half.

This league needs to start looking better in the playoffs, and quick.

Damn, you are more negative than I am and we just got eliminated today. You have had several weeks to reflect on your poor season! That is not a dig to UNI fans in general...I think you are all great for the most part. Just not the first response you want when you come and peacefully talk football with your biggest conference rival when it is all said and done. Yes we looked bad today. Yes SDSU blew it. And maybe we will get 3 in next year. SIU, SDSU, and IL State! Again...that's a dig on this one negative post. Not UNI fans in general!

News is right. The number 1 team in the nation gets handled at home. SDSU gave up a HUGE lead and let Montana score 40 straight. It was a bad showing.

Did not say we did not blow it. Did not say SDSU did not blow it. I am ok with the season SIU had, and yes I am sorry it is over. I had half my bag packed for Chatty. I guess all of the cool UNI fans have moved over to the basketball thread and there are a few negative pricks still talking about the crap season UNI had. I just came to say hey basically. I had a plan and an alternate plan today. Plan 1. SIU wins, I celebrate all day and make travel plans for Villanova. Plan 2,SIU loses, I drink beer, grill, and talk on message boards Unfort plan 2 is what I am into Still love the MVC and love talkin sh*T with UNI fans. You guys are a bit too negative though!

I don't think it was a knock at SIU. We are in the same boat. Both UNI and SIU have gone into the playoffs highly ranked in recent years (other than UNI this year, of course) and ended up losing home games to end the season. It's starting to look like the MVFC isn't as good as we want to think it is.

Re: You know the season is over when.,,,,

I agree that the MVFC did not have a great showing in the playoffs. We are not as great a conference as we think we are. Reality is setting in. Yes, SIU should have played better. SDSU let the game get out of hand.

It simple to give them him a hard time and not recall how we felt after Delaware... Richmond.... Ill. State... The fact he came on our board took guts. Saluki, we have all been where you are. It sucks. Its something you just can't get used to.

Now here's my opportunity to feel like a Cubs fan. Next year, lets roll, get 3+ into the expanded playoffs and finally get the monkey off our back! For ourselves and the MVFC.

I agree.. it is all about the W in the end. I agree SIU, UNI, and SDSU have all blown it. Again it is all about the W in the end, but for me, the MVFC was more competitive, fun, and "on the move" more than any other season. Yes we look weak when we blow it. But the momentum is there. I am enjoying the ride as much as I am the destination. Next season could be, should be, and likely will be crazy in the MVFC. I am excited about what SIU will return. I am scared with what UNI, SDSU, and hate to say it IL state will return. I am not looking for a dominant force in the MVFC next year. I think it will be as tough as any conference. And then maybe the conference champion can make it to Chatty!

Re: You know the season is over when.,,,,

And for the record...the reason I jump boards for discussion is not to stir crap. It is because in general fan boards become "inbred" at times and it is just more fun to talk to others who are not so close to the family!

Re: You know the season is over when.,,,,

Saluki fan isn't trolling, but UNI fans aren't being "mean" either. SIU should have won, or at least played better. That's not a jab; that's the reality of hoping that one's fellow conference members will carry the banner and then being disappointed when they don't.

Exactly.

Re: You know the season is over when.,,,,

Man, what's with all this "MVFC isn't as good as we think" talk lately? Go take your loser talk to your Dungeons & Dragons games. I have yet to see a team at the top of the FCS (which SDSU, SIU & UNI all are) that isn't capable of beating any other team in the division when they have their heads screwed on straight. That includes the overrated CAA.

Don't let a win get you too high and don't let a loss get you too low and just prepare for the next game. If there's one thing I will point out about the CAA is that they prepare themselves mentally for a competitive season, so they don't let a couple losses (even bad ones) get them down. If a CAA team gets hot in the playoffs, it's because of mental preparation not talent or coaching. Richmond taught me that last year and it's a lesson that needs to sink in around these parts.

Totally agree with this. I think our season was derailed by losing a game at home that we think we shouldn't have lost. Never got over it and we ended up home of the playoffs.
