Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

very classless thread. Not surprising though, as there are many clowns amongst the legit folks on egriz. As i posted in another thread, you guys are a perennial powerhouse in the fcs and will be back. Glad to have the opportunity to play you folks. As for "house cat"... We don't have an fbs school, but we have beautiful scenery and wide open spaces, and that's how we like it. I need not address the quality of our higher education, as it's obvious you didnt do any research. And we have a great fcs team that has churned out several nfl players and some great football. So i'm sorry a classless fan rubbed you the wrong way, but attacking our state is not taking the high road.

Good luck to the panthers, i have no doubt you guys will be back strong next year.

Excuses are for Hawkeyes. Griz are better.

While the trick plays and blitzes on a team being beaten by 35 leaves a bad taste in my mouth....this is the playoffs. Pedal to the metal all the way. If we don't like it we need to find a way to stop it.

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

"Holes" are few and far between is the problem. Carlos is a talent, he and D. Johnson both showed ability. They just were forced to create their own space too much this year. Hope for improvement on the o-line next year or we will still be stuck.

Putting it all on the O Line is wrong. I still say he lacks the speed and burst he had a year or so ago. Sanders needs to coach him on bursting through his first opening as opposed to dancing outside (nice point made by someone else earlier). Last night he played too comparatively slow to get away with that crap. Despite everyone's mushy NE Iowa love for Sanders, the jury is still out on whether he can coach.

Another point: Johnson's long run goes NOWHERE without great blocking. Huge hole at the point of attack, and Johnson waits to set up a block on a 2nd level player. He cuts off that block, runs over 2 other 2/3 level players, and is gone. Without the initial hole and block on the LB, he gains 3 yards.

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

Seems like if you want to make a run in the FCS playoffs at some point you are going to have to win a shoot out.

UNI couldn't score points this year very well. In many games it was like pulling teeth.

UNI needs a better o-line and a traditional QB.

No offense to Rennie he is a great player and from what I can tell a better person but I think his skill set was only going to take UNI so far.

You have to throw the ball to win. Rennie missed some wide open guys against Wofford that would have made that game a "no contest" in the first half.

I didn't see tonights game and I am glad I didn't, I feared a blowout and I was right.

r&b, I'm not arguing with you on this point, one several Panther fans have been saying today. However, here is my point. We don't need a better o-line, we need to run the right offense for the o-line we have. UNI still has huge OL players. In this spread offense, you don't need huge guys as much, you need faster, trimmer guys who use position and cut blocks.

What UNI needs to do with these big earth mover type linemen is to run more of a pro-style, qb under center, power run/pass game. UNI does not control the ball enough with the current system.

I understand why they use the current system, because of the qb, but the rest of the players don't match up as well with it as the qb does. Rennie could have done just as well in the type of offense I am talking about than he did in the spread, but more players would have had more success leading to more team success.

I agree that Carlos was not as quick on his cuts this year after getting hurt. But, although Johnson had a big hole on that play, I can also count on 2 hands the number of times that happened this year. Most of our big plays came from improvisation or just pure speed to the corner by either Carlos or Rennie. Maybe it is scheme or play calling, too. Like I said in a different thread, it isn't for lack of effort by those guys. The team gave us everything they had. No complaints there from me.

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

Sorry sorry, may have worded it wrong, but as I have stated before, we do this on eGriz.com and being that a very small number are on eGriz, i mistakenly posted this on your forum But I assumed it would be looked oversome thicked skinned fans posted while some hated on it... but still posted so, you make this call, you can ignore if this thread is offending or post and don't . Again, good game, I think the yellow shoes killed the game for your team. Go Griz!

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

I just don't understand why you come on here after the game and gloat like that? It makes no sense and doesn't show well on your behalf at all. Shouldn't you guys be hounding your next opponent?

There is something to be said for those who know how to be gracious winners.

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

No excuses from me. Very tough to watch a team that has played well all season forget how to tackle and play their positions. There is no excuse in the world for why we lost that badly but that certainly wasn't the Panther team we are used to seeing and thats a credit to the Griz being able to handle us early and keep us frustrated for the rest of the game

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

Impressed by the Griz.
Impressed with Northwest Monatana, perhaps the most beautiful part of our great country. (Correction second to driving into Cedar Falls and seeing the Dome on the horizon)
Impressed by Blue42 and what I would assume is the first use of the word Philistine on a message board.
Brett Farve and Albert Pujols suck. ( i know this doesn't fit on this thread but I just wanted to say it)

DUDE...what were you watching??? DJ broke a tackle in that "big hole"...

CA would have been tackled at point of contact and pushed backwards in that "big hole"....

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

nah', we usually do this on the egriz thought i'd run it by, cause Bobcat fans never give up. Even after getting spanked. for reals, i thought UNI was going to give Griz a run for it. Good Game.

You guys dominated. No need to be a dick about it.

Re: Griz vs Panthers Official excuse Thread...

Seriously?

Wow.

And on the board of the team you just beat. About the level of class you'd expect from a Griz fan. You don't tell us what we can do on OUR board, Jr. - get lost.

This. You won by 38 - move on and quit trying to rub people's noses in it. Classless.

DUDE...they aren't mutually exclusive. DJ can be good while Carlos is STILL good. It isn't an either / or deal. DJ is a stud. Doesn't mean that Carlos is not. There are situations and play calls that will benefit one over the other. Carlos averaged over 5 yards per carry this year. It is nice to have a back that sucks that bad.
