Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

Re: Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

Ban is that obnoxious uncle you wish you didn't have to invite to Thanksgiving, but you always do because he's "part of the family." And just like every Thanksgiving before, he is always set off by something someone says and then badgers the entire family for the next 2 hours until everyone decides it's not worth it to even attempt a discussion anymore until the uncle leaves the room. In the end, everyone is left wishing they had stayed alone for the holidays and ate pizza in their living room while binge watching football. That's what Ban is to PantherNation.

Don't get me wrong, I do miss Eric Sanders and some of those electrifying plays of yore. But CMF is working with the weapons at his disposal. Bottom line is Bailey threw for 167 and 3 scores, most importantly ZERO interceptions. Not a bad day. A couple of those passes were very well thrown balls. I'm not going to sit here and nitpick the game plan when we just crushed our first round game.
The run first offense may or may not get it done as we move forward against tougher teams, but as long as it worked yesterday I am happy. You never know, CMF may change his game plan when we play different teams that have stronger run defenses. Maybe, just maybe, he is playing it conservative to try and let AB develop and build confidence? Is it possible we are going run heavy to start games and when the other teams start selling out to the run then we throw down field?

Cripes. I just spent the holiday in Nebraska and they complain less about a loss where their QB threw four picks than some of you are complaining about a win!

Go Panthers!

Re: Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

And that affected the final outcome how? Did we lose? Did we come back?

watch it. We play like that again and we won't be on the winning side. EIU is not a good football team.

Re: Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

Have any positives for us from the game?

I had plenty of positives to say earlier in the thread, during the game, which I actually watched.

How about I think that all of YOUR (and others) incessant arguing is because I think that you want Farley out and are ticked off that he's having success?

Go for it, it's pretty clear you've already convinced yourself as much. There is zero evidence I've said anything remotely close to this in this thread and others. I'll patiently wait for you to post evidence of your claims that you wildly throw around. You went to college, correct? Ever hear about citing your sources? It's definitely one of your weaker attributes. Even my 8th graders know that they're supposed to do this when they make claims.

I've simply advised you against being a blind follower because someone or something is dressed in purple and gold. But continue to be ignorant and believe that I've been diligently following every Panther game this season simply to complain. That's clearly what my post history shows.

How about them there apples, as we said in Minnesota?

1. You're apples are pretty sour
2. We're comparing oranges here so...

Yep. You nailed it.

The worst part is when the thread turns into a discussion about Ban. Whoops, I just did it.

Perhaps we can put a 5 or 10 post limit on Ban for any thread. Give him his say, then make him shut up. I know it is going to be "one of those threads" when I see a whole string of his ignored posts coming right in a row.

Re: Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

Yes, but others couldn't give me a positive thing out of the game, so I wasn't all wrong.

And, yes, it IS difficult to remember things for 6 minutes, when I have 47 different people (EXAGGERATION ALERT!) coming at me from all angles, arguing why the win wasn't a good, solid win. Yes, it's derned difficult!

I believe the original post that set you off listed several positives before listing a couple negatives, but yeah, no one else has said anything positive about the game. Keep fighting the good fight, Ban.

Re: Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

Yes, and they are made game by game, against different teams. To sit and cry about how future opponents means nothing as the team was preparing for the opponent in front of them, and when the big, bad opponent comes that was supposed to beat us weeks ago, the team will prepare for it. You don't prepare the same for every team, for God's sake.

How do I know that? From years of playing sports, playing football in college, and a couple of years of coaching them. You?

If coaches have no impact to what happens on the field, I'm shocked that you would waste a couple years of your life coaching? Especially after playing for all those years and realizing that coaches have no impact on the success of a team.

This must have been a volunteer or unpaid position, because someone as noble as you would never accept payment for a position that isn't needed.

Sarcasm?

This thread is no different from anyone other game thread for football, basketball, wrestling, etc...in that there has been plenty of comments about the good, the bad and the ugly...except it's been derailed.

Yes. Sarcasm. Very much so.

Because I thought that the team's win was a good thing for UNI?

Re: Week 6 of UNI FB playoffs vs EIU

The only time he isn't like this is in the wrestling forum.

Weren't posting during the Penrith years, when I was, yet again, a lone voice in the wilderness trying to keep the fire happy folks views' in perspective, eh?

Hey, even more positive things to say about our playoff team!

OK, show us the positives that you've said about the game after it ended.

Because I support a 53-17 playoff victory? Limit positive comments about UNI on a Panther forum?! HUH!?

You're right. When I asked them to, they still haven't produced, have they?
