UNI on ESPN Classic

[ceaser150]

Just noticed that ESPN Classic is airing the Delaware game from 2007 Wednesday at 10:00 am. This has to be the first time UNI has ever been on ESPN CLassic. Wish they would have picked a better game.

Re: UNI on ESPN Classic

Does this mean that I am going to have to watch us shove the ball down their throats for 20 minutes, take a 14 point lead, and then all of a sudden watch us start throwing it all over the place, and giving up 25 yards a play on stupid dump passes and screens for the rest of the game? I won't be tuning in, I didn't like watching it the first time, I know I won't a second.

Or watching Sanders fumble away another game.. Man 2 fumbles...wasn't the key reason why we lost either game, but man they were big (both returned for TDs)

Umm wasn't that Vic Williams' fumble that #57 scooped and scored...?

You are a dumbass on about 10 levels if you believe that is why we lost either game, or that it was even Eric who fumbled during that game

Yes it was. That one happened early in the game, and I think that Sanders had a lost fumble late in the game, but I could be remembering wrong as I have tried to erase this game from my memory all together.

Btw, this game is on right now, (10:15 AM), and we are up 10-0. I think we are going to win this time.

I think Eric's came with 14 minutes left in the 4th, and it resulted in a 6 minute 32 yard drive for a FG.


However, UD only had one fumble return in the game, and that was in the 2nd quarter off of Vic's fumble. Shouldn't the student section president who was sitting on the 50 yard line remember that? Hell, it happened right in front of him

I remember it, if it would have been the semifinals replay could have been used to overturn it.

Re: UNI on ESPN Classic

I will give him the Deleware game, we still probably lose that one without the fumble, we were simply outcoached from the start of the second quarter, the App State game though, we would be national champs without his fumble. No question about it. I remember walking back to my hotel by myself that night from the field telling myself over and over "don't be made at the kid, we wouldn't have been here without him."

Yup. The fumble in the Championship game changed the outcome. Zero doubt in my mind.

Agreed. How was the backside blocking on that play though. I don't remember that much of it. My memory on that play is blank until the fumble...I wish it was the other way around.

Re: UNI on ESPN Classic

What I remember about the Delaware game was that our defense had difficulty getting off of the field on 3rd downs, that was a big key to the game, if we could have done that, we would have been fresher in the 2nd half the part of the game that Delaware seemed to control.

Also just a side note, has anyone else noticed that UNI doesn't play well in Playoff games in the Dome that start before 4:00 in the afternoon.

Did you know that Willie Mays Hayes led the league in doubles last year in the month of July, with nobody on base and two outs?

Skip: That was four years ago, Jack. Last season, you hit .235.

Re: UNI on ESPN Classic

Only way we win that UD game is running the ball down their throat (CL could have ran for 400yds btw). Flacco had too big of an arm and I remember many of times Ruffin drilling him and Flacco throwing the ball away as he was falling to the ground. Willy got too fancy to quick in that one....
