Apathy?

Re: Apathy?

Eventually we need to protect ourselves from having our beating hearts ripped out of our chest while watching these games. If we don't invest as much then we wont be as disappointed time and time again. I know every fan base goes through disappointment, from losing close games, but how many times have Panther Football fans been put through this over the last 10 years.

One of the benefits that I get from being a UNI fan is "big football wins." Not something I experience much in Ames these days. Maybe that is why I keep hanging around.

Off the top of my head...one score losses
07 - UD wasn't single score but a massive let down with no adjustments
08 - SIU, Richmond
09 - Iowa, SIU, ISUr
10 - SFA, Lehigh - doesn't include Iowa State that was a massive let down in their own way
11 - IaSU - doesn't include Montana but that was a massive let down in it's own way
12 - YSU, SIU
13 - NDSU, SIU, USD, SDSU
14 - Iowa, Hawaii, ISUb
15 - ISUr, NDSU, WIU
16 - Montana, EWU and counting

If I'm not mistaken that is 22 one score losses since 2008 started

The people on this message board calling for farleys job are total idiots. If you think that he can't do the job, then go and cheer for who you really want to--th Hawkeyes--all you have to do is buy a tee shirt and call yourself a huge Hawkeyeja supporter!

This is one of the oddest posts I can think of in recent history. Much more obnoxious than anyone suggesting coaching changes. I LOL'd.

Many on this board have only jv high school experience and an ability to turn on ESPN which they think puts them at a level to call for a person's job. They contribute little to the University they claim to be huge fans of and are illiterate (village morans) as to the makings of any successful college football team. So there as far as I'm concerned you are in the above mentioned idiots.

Did you mean Johnny Moran instead of village morans?

That was a nice swing-and-miss for guessing what I have contributed to the university. Then again I wouldn't expect much more from someone from Northwest Iowa.

This assinine post also does nothing to explain your ridiculous connection between people who think there needs to be a coaching change and them wanting to cheer for the Hawkeyes.

Re: Apathy?

Mrs Northwest Iowa Panther....you obviously know nothing about our program...22 one score losses say something about coaching...to you it is probably just bad luck...but your wrong..we stop a team all game and then play a different defense late in game and the team moves the ball at will....stupid time outs are called...we don't go for a first down that will end game...offense plays way too conservative...they put a QB on the field in playoff game that can't run or throw...got away from pro style offense that took us to national championship game...so there is justification for calling for someone's job..
No different if you are under performing at real job you need to be held accountable

Re: Apathy?

Just out of curiosity I checked and we do have 21 one-score wins in that time that we had 22 one-score losses.

However we are 5-14 in one-score games over the last 4 years. We won a couple at the end of 2013 when we had fallen to 3-5 (after losing three OT games and a one point game right in a row), none in 2014, two last year, and ISU this year.

Overall in Farley's career we are 40-30 in one score games. Interestingly, Farley won the first 7 one-score games of his coaching career. We were 25-11 through the 2008 season, and have been 15-19 in the eight years since. That 2008 season was the one that ended in the Richmond heartbreaker, and 2010 was when we started using primarily "dual-threat" QBs.

It is also worth noting that UNI is the following in more-than-one-score games in the Farley era.

More than one score: 92-26 (40-30 in one score)
More than one score FCS: 84-17
08 and Before: 51-16, 44-11 (25-11 in one score)
09 and Since: 41-10, 40-6 (15-19 in one score)

Food for the discussion.

I'm counting on a Panther win. This is the game where the real team emerges to roll through the rest of the season.
