Guest BasketBull. Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Wow... My life flashed before my eyes tonight. This whole football program would have been taken 6 years back in time...They had better get their act together or it's going to be a very, very long season.

If they put eight guys in the box and dare you to run, and you CANNOT RUN, throw the friggin' ball! I'm just really pissed at this game because I expected to see improvement from last week and we got worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think it might be a struggle to get to six wins this season.screw THE TEAM BEING young i SEE NO TALENT ON THE LINES OR RB POSITIONTHE MISTAKES WE MADE WE COACHING,;ACK OF TALENT AND DISCIPLINE BASEDWHY ISNT RUTGERS YOUNG? THEY IMPROVED FROM LAST YEARWHY ISNT PITT YOUNG?THEY IMPROVEDCWHY ISNT CUSE YOUNG? THEY IMPROVEDI AM WAITING FOR THE INFLUX OF TALENT,YOUNG OR OTHERWISE,FOR USF TO GET IN UL/WV TERRITORYPEOPLE USF IS IN THE MIDDLE OF TREMENDOUS TALENT BASE IN TAMPA AREA.WE SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED FIU WITH OUR SECOND AND THIRD TEAMS.THE MOST OUR PLAYERS CAN STAY IS 5 YEARS AND WE CAN GIVE 25 SCHOLLYS A YEAR SO WE SHOULDNT BE THAT YOUNG WHERE WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH 1AA TEAMS AND BOTTOM OF THE BARREL 1A TEAMSPLEASE DONT TELL ME FIU IS REALLY A GOOD TEAM. I WONT BUY IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ari_Hinkelberger Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Grothe wasn't very impressive. Our running game is non-existent.That Rutgers team I watched today was top to bottom very very solid.These next 3 games will be a testament to how good we are.If we are good -- we will win the next 3.

I was crucified for saying it wouldn't happen. At this point, we'll be lucky to beat UCF. I have a bad feeling about that game......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ari_Hinkelberger Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think Rutgers could be the sleeper team of the year.They ran the ball to the tune of almost 500 yards in two games. Always a big fan of teams that can run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has all the makings of a rivalry from a players perspective 1. Most playeres were prolly recruited by both schools2. Most of the players have been playing against or with each other prolly close to their whole lives3. The two colleges are vying for the same attention nationally as programs4. The students see this as a rivalry will prolly talk to the players just as much about this game as UL or WVI havent got a change to watch the replay as i wasnt there today because i was in jacksonville getting ready to move some stuff back down there. But this has all the symptoms from what ive heard from people who were there and saw it and on here or a week before a rivalry let down. I wouldnt be surprised if most of the players were looking forward to this weeks game rather then a game against a FIU. Yes we do have problems that need to be fixed no doubt but alot of people here are really running around like we lost of FIU by 3 touchdowns. If anything im glad yesterday happend because maybe it will be a wake up call to the players and coaches that hey we really need to buckle down a bit more or else we will embarass ourselves this year.

Maybe we needed 2 alarms...we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Randolph is an all around player. Matt Grothe rushed for 82 yards and threw for 174 total 256 yards-----game stats show 297 total yards for the team. Not bad for a redshirt freshman. Think of the yardage a good RB could make. I say we should only get better!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
