    19.5 point dogs.

    Just hoping to see some level of improvement from last week. See if we can hang around for three quarters.

    I'll continue to beat the dead horse but it's absolutely unrealistic for us to consistently compete with the Dakotas until we fund the program appropriately regardless of who the HC is. We don't have to, and shouldn't, spend like they do but we need to be within shouting distance.

    Had a long chat with some long time UNI folks last night and the Gateway, now Valley, should have known we were signing our own death warrant when we invited the xDSUs. Just a colossal mistake. We still had 6 stable members after WKU left so we needed to not do the easy thing and add them. Should have worked with The Valley to add Murray then which would have also strengthened what was also a humming basketball league at that point and grabbed Robert Morris. You've got 8 and the Dakotas are still twisting in the wind without a home because the Big Sky wasn't going to take them. Make them use those resources to travel everywhere and to buy games.

    Anyway. Go Panthers.

      Pretty good start.

      Scheck looks good.

      He scored on the run to the pylon. Shoulda been reviewed. Cost us 4 points.
      Winning is more fun than losing.

          Scheck looks solid. Like the way the ball comes out from him much better than Dunne. The secondary is completely lost. South Dakota might put up 60.

                  Not like we don't have athletes in the secondary.

                  Why can we not cover anyone? At all?

                    This has been a concerning theme all season so far. We just seem out of place all the time and the other team's offense just has so much space.

                      The bright spot for me so far at least has definitely been Scheck. He seems way more competent at connecting with receivers at a higher clip.

                        And just as I say that, he throws an INT

                            SD is 11-11 passing for 220+ yards and 3 TD’s. Only 2 or 3 of those have been contested at all.

                              I've kind of bit my tongue on the "Farley needs to go" talk, but if this is going to be the norm this season (and I really haven't seen anything besides the Nebraska game to suggest it won't) then I just don't see how Dr. Franklin doesn't at least suggest to Mark to hang it up after this year. I love Coach Farley's passion for the program and the school, but the results haven't been there for a long time. I know he hasn't had the resources his counterparts have had but...enough is enough.

                              Having said all that, I can see Dr. Franklin trying to give him another off-season and year of full support to see what he can do. I'm just not sold it's going to fix anything right now.
