What are we to do now?

[truepanther]

Seriously! What do we do now?? As fans, players, coaching staff, alumni?? WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

Keep supporting a team that needs it's fans desperately. We'll be there next week.

Re: What are we to do now?

fans: keep supporting the team, don't be a fairweather fan or a debbie downer
players: keep doing your best
coaches: this is the one group that things might change for. playoffs are out of the picture now, so now they should consider how some decisions might impact next season. no need to push players to get back on the field after injury

Season went bad. I still think the pieces are in place for next season. Depth at fcs is scetchy at best.


Flush the season and look to next year. Some juco depth on the lines would be great.

What we have left is school spirit. We've had all the better of it many years, now we show up and support our players. Hail our panthers we are ever loyal...

Hit the recruiting trail hard while the other teams are preparing for the playoffs.

This is the most important task for the coaching staff. I like our returning skill players on offense and our returning DBs and LBs. The lines will need assistance. A Brandon Keith type transfer or two would make a world of difference...

Show up. Not only for the current team but fan support helps recruiting.

Re: What are we to do now?

I have a tough question that might just be food for thought.
We were all high on sawyer as a freshman bc he could throw it better than previous qb's, we were high on a receiving core that had different sets of skills that could be deadly, we were high on david because he could be beastly. But will it even be enough for next season, like can it really work?? Sawyer has been inconsistent to say the least, receiving core just CAN NOT stay healthy, david shows up BIG for fbs games, but we need him most for fcs opponents in games which he's shown up small time after time...? thoughts

I'm guessing some of Sawyer's "inconsistency" might be due to the concussion he suffered at NDSU, as well as the ever-changing receiving unit.

David "shows up small" due to opponents focusing their defense on him, and the OL not really being able to open up holes for him.

I think David's injury was more serious than the staff let on. He just hadn't been the same player since the Fargo game.

Everything cascades from the oline ability to protect, or not.

Offensive line plays a huge part in the play of Kolmorgen and DJ. Kollmorgen's first concussion was worse than originally led to believe. DJ has looked uncomfortable physically for several games now.

BAP, my Panther household agrees about DJ. Something has been wrong with him since NDSU. I wonder if he broke his ankle?

Re: What are we to do now?

if it indeed it is the oline, then how good are some players really? IMO we've had good rb's and good qb's but the last steller oline we've had was c-lew's year. rb's and qb's after and just a couple before have had to create on their own...and they did.
