I was unaware there was a statute of limitations on threads? Perhaps threads should lock after 24 hours of no activity?

Well, there hadn't been a post in this thread for over 2 days until you guys came in to tell us to move on.

Lol. Pwned.

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

Great point. Nothing says move on like compiling a list of the most difficult defeats of the last 7 years.

Move on is right. Game's over. Has been for six days. Time to nut it up and start really thinking about TOMORROW'S game.

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

It was a great catch, in bounds. Get over it, move on, we blew yet another 4th quarter lead in a big game to blow a chance at greatness...just add it to the list.

App State 05' (never even make it to that game if TXST doesn't run out clock, they'd of marched it like everyone else does against us)
IA State 06'
Richmond 08'
Iowa 09'
ISU 11'

Not to mention several others...

SIU 04'
ND & WIU 06'
SIU 08'
Illinois State 09'
SFA 10'

UGH!!!!!!!

I'm way proud of the success UNI has had in it's history but I can't stand thinking about in just the last 5-6 yrs we are a handful of plays from winning a title, having 4 BCS victories, another playoff appearance (09), and another semi-final appearance (08).

oh what could have been!

Richmond 08, to me, is the single biggest letdown of them all. There is no doubt in my mind we would have beat Montana in the final game and have a NC right now.

Jeggy's right. Move on.

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

The last time out was problematic.

Its the first two called in the second half that killed us. Those were wasted. We have done this for years, usually on defense. Leaves us hanging if they are needed at the end of the game.

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

Heres the link to that video.


No way that call gets overturned based on that video, but I defiantly don't think it confirms the call on the field. When he catches the ball I don't think his knee is down in the endzone. Can't really tell, but thats just my opinion.

If his knee isn't down, his feet still are.

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

Farley made the right calls on defense in that goal line stand. timesouts included. I was hoping we would have a goal line stand like Iowa had against syracuse a few years back...but just didnt happen....sure close tho!

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

I think other reason and maybe the main reason Farley called a timeout is we were substituting players on defense and we had 12 players on the field.

That's possible. It wasn't obvious from where I was sitting, but I wasn't looking for it either.

I'm not trying to be too harsh on Farley, just trying to be a critical thinking fan. I still think he's a damn good coach. That said, IMO anyone who is going to be critical of Salmon for his play calling in the last minute needs to realize that Farley really put him in a spot by burning our last time out. His hands were tied.

Re: ISU 4th Qtr TD

The go ahead TD looked good enough to me on the replay board.

That said, Farley called one of the dumbest timeouts I've seen in awhile right before that. They complete a pass to our 1, 1st and goal with less than 2 minutes left. Farley calls our LAST timeout. Salmon had to cough up his lunch seeing that. They score.

It forced him (Salmon) into two semi-stupid trick plays to try and hit a home run. ALL YOU NEEDED WAS A FIELD GOAL TO WIN. With the timeout in the bank, you can afford to call plays that are designed to clear out the middle for a completion, all the while setting yourself up for field postion to kick the game winner. That's all on Farley for robbing him of our last timeout, not Salmon. Sure, the attempted WR pass (whiped out by penalty) and hook and ladder were kind of lame, but his hands were somewhat tied.

I think other reason and maybe the main reason Farley called a timeout is we were substituting players on defense and we had 12 players on the field.
