[posted at end of first qtr vs. kents]

We are incredibly predictable.  If it's a running down, we run.  And that run has no...zero...not...chance of being anyone but the one running back in the backfield.  No runs by TT.  Then, on passing downs, we pass.  And we do nothing new from game to game; if you've seen us for a quarter, you've seen all that we have.

An offense wholly geared to not scoring a touchdown.

Also, a good explanation for our late season swoons. It's a whole lot easier to confirm we do nothing different ever after 8 games of seeing we do nothing different ever than it is after only 3.

You'd think so.  But not with us.  We just do nothing new ever at all.

Is there a law against running the option off tackle.

With the way we have shuffled O lineman around, maybe Albin thinks Beau up the middle IS off tackle.

Holy cow we scored a touchdown!!!  The wife and I were starting to think the University had some kind of contract with ESPN to not score touchdowns.

Another fun fact:  We scored as many points in the first three minutes of this game as we did in the two previous games combined.

Are we allowed to put guys in motion, perhaps more than one on same play (one at time, of course).  kents is.  maybe their head coach is an offensive genius.

I got to the stadium a few minutes late, can anyone confirm that the first play of the game from scrimmage was "Beau up the middle" as it was for the BG game?

I was there early...it was!  Then, how does Waters get caught from behind?  Oh, lack of speed at the skill positions.  I forgot that.

That would be a big YES. I could not believe it either.

Somehow they put together a 41 yard play and they get this? Waters sparks the start, then gets hurt.  I hope it is not serious as he can not be accused of quitting.  I hope the "pretty good blender" gets another game.

I knew you'd find a way to wag your finger at the fans.

COME ON GUYS, THEY HAD A 41 YARD PLAY. SHUT UP AND APPRECIATE.

So you are with Casper 71 on this. Waters (not a quitter) starts the game off with a 41 yard gain, lets poke a finger in his eye? You are his coach, he is coming to the sideline you; pat him on the back or give him grief because he is not the fastest man on the field? We probably do differ on this.

Guys, I am not poking a finger at Waters.  My point is RECRUITING.  We need more speed, more size and more strength than we have now.  Would Price or Brazile get caught on that play?  I doubt it.  that is what we lack...PLAYMAKERS!

As a side note I like a lot of what Waters brings to the table but he won't beat many MAC d-backs with his speed, I get that.

It's a good point.  Despite the recent 30-3, 49-0 and last night's whomping we should all be so pleased with the team's performance.

What...just what...will it take to get a comment that's anywhere near reality from you.


Tell me about how the Beefs, BG and kents are considered three of the very top teams.  Oh, wait--kents did beat Liberty and redhawk.
