We beat them without their Starting QB, only reason for the win, just like last weekend was close because Willis missed over half the game, same with the La Tech game they were using 2nd and 3rd string players. This team is poorly coached and sentimental wins mean squat. 

If we’re gonna point out our opponent’s injuries, then let’s tell the full story.  
 

Our top 4 receivers are out with injuries.  As is (arguably) our best running back.  As are at least two corners who would see significant playing time.  
 

Make no mistake, this team is VERY undisciplined and WOEFULLY coached…but let’s not pretend we aren’t running a MASH unit like everyone else.

Not that it helps now, but I would think Adaway will get a medical red shirt? Same for Bush and Shorter if they don't come back?

I guess you have a point there. I was just hoping he would heave it down field and maybe we would get lucky. If it's incomplete or intercepted, we go to overtime anyway.

Yeah, it'd be a safe play since Aune's NEVER thrown a ball right to a defender.

Anybody else notice there were NO TURNOVERS in this game. 

Also, our run-run-run offense in overtime worked beautifully.

Yep.  So glad we replaced Dan McCarney's ball control offense for a head coach who likes to tee it high and let it fly.  

Wait ...

Run [Up Middle] Raid replaced the Air Raid offense.

Sometimes you gotta tee it low and take it slow.

I thought rotating the backs was key. Torrey didn’t seem himself today. Not sure why. Johnson and Ayedi ran really well today.

Obviously, according to the posters on this thread, Aune is a terrible passer.  I don't know what his passing statistics were but the game was won with his feet.  Those two long runs got them down to four-down territory.  Thank you Austin.

Maybe we should switch to the Wishbone 😇

11-22 for 121 yards

Didn't Seth say once that he wanted to coach a high school triple option team after he left college coaching? Are we sure he hasn't already started that career change?

A win on the road against a conference opponent is a win on the road against a conference opponent.  Don’t piss on it. We’re banged up.  Everyone is banged up.  Mark one down in the W column.

An ugly win is still a win. At least for this week we don't have to think about changing our name to Meta Green.

Do those same board rules include monitoring spam accounts that are set up for nothing but trolling

It's a non-profit site moderated by volunteers. Ease up.

There's a mechanism to report and they are handled.

If you expect that during a game - when people are out watching the game - are also watching ip addresses and registration attempts, then you are expecting way too much. 

This is a free site. Use the tools. It works. Stop trying to call out mods in realtime.

People have been asking for the vote to be shown for years and nothing has ever been done. So not trying to call to mods just being realistic and what has never happened

You think we write this software? We can program the features? 

If you see a post from a suspect account, report it. It gets handled.. you expect mods to read 15 pages and inspect every post to see something that you see? I guess be let down and add to the overall conspiracy.  But the tools exist for a reason. Use them.
