  1. Save the doomsday talk for the end of the game I say. Let the last 30 minutes play out :3
  2. Maryland is the big determining factor game. If we perform well and pull off the win, I'll buy into a 6-6 OR BETTER season. If we lose though, I'll stick with my original thoughts and say 5-7 at best this year. And if we go 5-7 without a signature win over a ranked or just plain good opponent, they may fire Willie for lack of progress. But I'll save any doomsday talk for after the Maryland game.
  3. I'll reserve judgement until Maryland as to whether or not we perform well the rest of the way. But I love the attitude change. We didn't give up, we kept playing from a bad position and we executed in rough environment. Props to the team. Offense is slowly improving and defense was better. GG
  4. Flowers is a dynamic playmaker, but his accuracy leaves something to be desired. I was frustrated by the number of screen calls early in the game. Kid can make those slant routes work. He doesn't have the accuracy for the deep ball yet. In time he can be a good QB. For now he's athletic but average. Defense played very well, besides tackling Cook. But he's NFL talent.
  5. Augie's hit and the last hit of the game were almost the same thing. Frustrating crew for today's game (took 10 minutes to spot a ball incorrectly on 4th and 1)
  6. What a defense. Would love to see that quality back on the field again.
  7. Uni's look nice. Still not a fan of those helmets though XD Of course, if we win I'll insist that we wear it for every game.
  8. In terms of fundraising and raising an academic bar I believe Genshaft has done a very good job here. She deserves to stay and I think it could push us further up that academic ladder (which is what really matters in College). I will say, our bump down from BigEast to AAC athletically hurt us. Loss of opportunity to put the brand out there on a national stage. But you can hardly fault the woman for all of that. Maybe some blame lies on her and her office, but I think our own decline around the time of Conference realignment and our do-nothing athletic department attitude was the main factor in all that. 4 more years.
  9. I'll say I agree with much of the article. I think our performance in the first half was more Athleticism than Execution. I also don't see us winning this game (I'll happily admit I'm wrong if we win though). I'll hope a bit for a result like 2012, hard fought for 3 quarters before we surrender a few TD's. What I noticed most though were the people in the comment sections calling for our heads. Some are still salty about 2009
  10. That song aggravates me after the 2012 game. Every time FSU moved the ball forward that dang band would blast it from the upper deck. I'm sure some players have similar feelings.
  11. First half was sloppy. Constant miscues (and a few boneheaded moves by a player or two) kept us from scoring more. Second half saw a totally different team. We played like we were supposed to play against a bad team. Hopefully it points to bigger, better things this season. We'll see. I think some of our impact guys are finally making a real impact. Frustration with losing and playing to their strengths may just get them a few more wins this year.
  12. Its a hype thing. Students love a "insert color here"-out idea. Its supposed to show unity and intimidate. I'll agree with you that it is better executed at a place that sells out (see Penn State White Outs: Now those are scary cool), but it can't hurt to try and get student involvement. Lord knows they need it...
  13. If you really want loud booming sound, we could always transition to a pure drum-and-bugle type band Some people don't like that though. Put the mic on them in the stadium and make sure it syncs well. Otherwise I suppose we live with it for now.
  14. FAMU's band is very flashy. Very loud and very visual. They get better as the year goes on (as most bands do) but the formula is the same. Its a very show-y band by tradition. What they gain in style, they lose in quality however. They sacrifice dynamics for loud sound and when they perform on the field, audio tearing is an issue. You could hear it in RayJ. HOT has a more quality approach. They sacrifice loud brass sounds for a full range of instruments and dynamics. Though the music is often simple, it sounds like the music. Audio tearing is less prominent. All in all its something you see with a lot of bands. A few bands can bridge the gap between quality playing and a loud, booming sound.
  15. I agree. But I think he NEEDS that signature win in those 5-6 games. Beat a good team (and hopefully UCF) and he can survive. Beat bottom feeders and beat a lowly UCF (who just lost to FIU) and we reevaluate him very closely
  16. If we shoot 3's better in the first half tonight, we can win this game. We could have won by 20 against LSU if we hadn't missed our first 8 three pointers and wasted those possessions I think we can do this. Should be a nice crowd and a close game.
  17. Sorry to disappoint, but I haven't seen so much as a scribble on the sidewalk promoting this game on campus so far. I think there was something at the front desk of the Marshal Student Center. That's pretty much it though. Email did go out though. So there is that. I just think we need a better marketing scheme for these games. Most people don't even know we are in the NCAA Tourney :c
  18. Man. Sucks that we have to play UConn for a shot at the title. Its great that we get to play for a title and I'm so proud of this team. These girls deserve to win this conference. But its still UConn. XD Maybe we get a miracle? I can hope.
  19. To be fair to the student population during the UConn game, Its spring break this week. Everyone is at the beach or at home XD
  20. Used to be that way. Changed it for a reason. Might make some kids focus on academics. Might make some athletes unhappy. It won't happen though.
