3-8

Re: 3-8

Every game is winnable, just because it's been a down year thus far doesn't mean we can't win out.....

Been saying this since the Iowa game.

Re: 3-8

I didn't believe we would go 7-4 last week when that thread was all the rage. I don't believe we will go 3-8 this week. Guess I'm just not given to extreme mood swings/bi-polarism.

Re: 3-8

The defense was already rebuilding. The injuries just killed us.

Yes. This has not been mentioned enough.

Re: 3-8

I doubt 3-8 though the first losing season I can ever remember is looking likely. Even with Dunbar we had a winning record.

Re: 3-8

We were 5-6 in 2002. People seem to conveniently forget that.

That wasn't Farley's fault, the bottom just dropped out after overachieving in year one.

Not sure how people can forget 2002. That season was another injury plagued season as well. Heck, I believe that prior to the season, the team was hampered by a virus in fall camp that saw about a third of the team affected. I do remember some good things like Mackenzie Hoambrecker hitting like a 59 yard field goal to beat Missouri State that year.

Let's not also forget how we rebounded the following season in 2003 with a 10-3 record and co-conference champions.

Well here's to next year!

Seriously, hopefully the team can rebound and get some wins and gain some confidence before the season is out. Remember there are Seniors on the team and this is their last season to play.

Re: 3-8

I can't believe how good this team is and still have the record we have. Offensive talent (still, the line could be better) + an ocassional good return game. The defense is just not good enough to get off the field - need more stops. They can't overcome offensive & special team errors. A good team with a mountain of a schedule.

Throw out game #2 and we are still only 38 points behind our opponents. 7.6 points a game. Overall we have outscored the opposition by 21 points.

This is going to be a tough week mentally for the players & staff, with another good opponent really playing for something. Finally - home game #3!!

Re: 3-8

Terrible schedule and a team that is simply trying too hard. Most of our errors have come from trying to force a play instead of letting the game happen. Trying to stretch for extra yards or the goal line or trying to make a big play on a punt return when we were trying to steal the momentum. They have the talent to win games, just need to play football and relax a bit. Coaches need to let them have some fun at this point and let it all hang out. Seniors deserve it and the underclassmen need something to build on for next year.

Re: 3-8

I wish Farley would bet an Fbs offer. Would like to see somebody else get a chance. Tired off the hideous self destruction losses.

Going the rest of the home games is just pointless. I hope the weathet is nice for tailgating because the games mean zero.

LOL quit acting like a douche.

Kinda crazy we were a play away in the Wisconsin, YSU, and SIU games.

And if (yeah, big if) those plays were made and the results of those games reversed, we'd be 4-2, have wins over a top 10 FCS and a BCS team on the road, and be near the top of the rankings - and everything would be happy in Pantherland. Football is a funny game.

just like basketball, with the style we play, it comes down to a play or two
