UNI vs McNeese St

Re: UNI vs McNeese St

Our DC, Lance Guidry (google Lance Guidry as he gives good pregame speeches) likes to blitz a lot so our DB's better do a good job in coverage. We do tend to give up a big play now and then. Live and die by the sword.

Awesome! Had no idea Guidry was down there now. His pre-game speech for the Little Ceaser's Bowl with WKU was awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DgjtECjN9Y

The one when he was the interim head coach for Miami (Ohio) before the Godaddy Bowl wasn't too bad either.

Your coach is doing a good job of blowing up how good McNeese is in interviews and is making us sound like the best team in the nation coming to play in UniDome.

Trying to make it sound like you guys are the underdogs and we are the big bad bullies. Making it sound like a David vs Goliath matchup and is beating the bushes for the fans to come out and make noise.

Doc

Edit: And Guidry is a true Cowboy. Played here and started his coaching career at McNeese.

Re: UNI vs McNeese St

there isn't any "David" in this matchup. at least not in the allegorical sense (or whatever device that is, I fell asleep in lit/english class). Both teams are really good.

As confident as I was going into ISU, I'm that apprehensive this week. McNeese is that good.

I hope McNeese never plays NDSU, the message board chatter that week could be limited....

NDSU Fan - "we are going to kick your ass, you suck, we are the best football team in all divisions, we have the best tradition of any athletic program in the country, you probably shouldn't even come to the Fargo Dome for the game...."

McNeese Fan - "yep, sounds about right."

Two more days until UNI shows us what a good football team looks like.

Yep, sounds about right.

I still remember the start of the 2009 season. The first game of the season we had to score on 4th and goal from somewhere inside the 5 with seconds left in the game to beat Div II Henderson St. We looked like crap in the game. The offense was very vanilla looking.

We then had to make the trip to Boone to play App. St. Nobody, McNeese nor App. St. fans alike, gave us one chance in hell of winning that game. Well, the offense looked totally different in that game and the rest was history. Of course, Amanti Edwards was just coming off his lawnmower injury in that game and wasn't 100%.

Re: UNI vs McNeese St

That's fortunate for him because, evidently, he wasn't good with lawnmowers.

Any word on how many tickets are left? Is this gonna be a sell out or at least close to one?

Just checked the map on the ticketing site and this has the feel of a 14000-type game. I just hope we get a loud, engaged (and PINK) crowd...

Re: UNI vs McNeese St

Im excited for this game. What a great matchup, kudos to everyone involved for getting this scheduled.

I think we will learn a lot about our team in this game, I hope we are ready for the challenge. If we are as good as some think we are, this is the type of game that yo win at home.

Re: UNI vs McNeese St

Keep it close in the first half. Farley always seems to make good defensive adjustments at halftime. Be in position to take the game over in the 3rd quarter.

I appreciate the causes, but it seems that we are letting sentimentality go too far. Is there really an awareness problem with our fans that needs to be addressed at this level?

Going away from our primary colors for a big game seems to lessen the home-field advantage.

Further, I think the "pink out" efforts have run their course. They have become too common. If you want to draw attention to breast cancer awareness, have a bunch of women give themselves exams at mid-field during half-time!

Seriously, I don't want to sound callous, but somebody needs to step forward and just let the games be games. There are a thousand worthwhile causes to support. I suspect that the ones that end up getting these opportunities are mostly the result of someone's political influence within the organization, not necessarily the result of a careful analysis of public health needs.
