  • Cut it loose!

    First off, nice W...a playoff win is a win and we'll take it...end of discussion.

    I'd like to see the Panthers turn it loose on Saturday. We are playing with house money. We're 7-5 and weren't even sure we would get into the playoffs. Playing a rested, seeded team on the road.
    How about a fake punt? (Lamar executed one on a 4th and 15 on their own 33 yd line with a 320 lb dude)
    Halfback pass? (Lamar came within an eye lash of completing a TD pass)
    Open up the playbook...Give them some new wrinkles that they haven't seen on tape.
    I like our chances at UC Davis but I think we can't go out there with a grind it out mentality. UC Davis defense can get exposed but they do have a great offense. We're going to need 30 to win this one.

    I agree. I think if we keep them to under 24 points we win.

      Last time Farley let the offender be cut loose Victor Williams was on campus


      And it worked


      I'm pretty sure Williams is the most efficient passed in NCAA history

          They beat Montana by four td’s and have several impressive wins. Outside of the sd st win, we’ve underachieved for years. It was embarrassing for this program to play on opening weekend. We get our doors blown off next week. It is way beyond time for change

            Another mediocre season but we are in a position where we are playing with house money. I agree conservative Farleyball isn't going to give us a chance in this one. Lets see some creativity! It might get us killed but being conservative will DEFINITELY get us killed.

              Wow. That's the biggest bag of **** post I've ever read on this board that wasn't written by R&B.

              First some of you guys were embarrassed we weren't gonna make the playoffs.

              Then we made it.

              Now you're embarrassed we had to play opening weekend.

              Then we won.

              Now you're sure we're gonna get blown out in the round of 16.

              What a bunch of bull****.

              There are 100 kids wearing the purple jerseys working hard to keep winning.

              If you can't get behind them then what the hell are you doing here?

              If you want to ***** about Farley, fine. Wait til the season is over and let's debate it.

              But this "I'm embarrassed of our playoff team" stuff is a bunch of crap.

              Montana, South Dakota, Villanova, Richmond, New Hampshire, Sam Houston State, Central Arkansas, McNeese State, Illinois State....all good FCS programs who aren't in the mix on Dec 1.

              Should they all be embarrassed too? Good God.

              Sometimes a wise man learns to appreciate what he's got.

                How many times has a team played a program making its all-time playoff debut two weeks in a row?

                  You're right.....we should be thrilled about this season and plan for many more if Farley stays...no reason to go to games or watch as I have seen this same season play out over and over....I however want our program to be what it once was....the guy running the show cant get us back there...2-3 starts and fighting for playoff life after the 5th game every year gets old....hadn't missed a home game in 13 years and have not went to last 2.....and I know I'm not the only one that has lost interest...

                    Appears you're still interested enough to post on a board dedicated to UNI football.

                    I'm not real happy with Farley's approach either.

                    But am I embarrassed for being among the final 16 teams in the country competing for a national title? Hell no. I'm proud of it.

                    Am I predicting we'll get waxed next Saturday? Hell no again. I hope...and believe...we'll get a W.

                    Boys the world is full of people who want to see you fail. You don't need to help them.

                    If you can't stay in the foxhole with your own team during a live playoff run, then I don't know what to tell ya.

                      Hi fellas. Come on over to Aggiesportstalk.com and join in on the fun. How many fans do you think will make the trip to Davis? Looking forward to the game!

                            You'll have some player's families make the trip but I doubt many fans make the trip outside of that. Short notice, expensive flights and we're playing basketball in Minneapolis on Saturday.

                            And mudra, I've been maybe the most vocal Farley critic on this board. Right now isn't the time. Let's let this thing finish up and see what happens. Chances are good that Mark has already assured another year so we may as well hope we get Ws.

                            This is the best draw we've gotten in years, might as well enjoy it. Honestly, I think last night was Farley trying to go Full Farley. Wouldn't surprise me if we roll this weekend.

                              I keep checking flights but $600 out of Moline is tough to swallow this time of year. If anyone has a seat on a private jet for me I’ll go though!
