Worst win ever

GreenFlag · October 16, 2005

We are that bad. Eight freaking turnovers we get and we win by 3-only because FIU missed a FG late in the 4th.

This is so stinkingly bad.

I am sitting here incredulous at our ineptness.

How can this be? After four conference championships? After the new, improved facilities?

The penalties, the ineffective offense?

Our luck DD will win the SBC again (unimpressively I might add) and we are stuck with him another decade. Can't he just go away?

This just palin sucks. Yes, I said that after a win.

At this point, I don't care. If you have watched football as long as I have, I'll take any victory we can get. True, this team has a lot of problems, but I'm not going to dis' a win under any circumstances.

well neither will DD so

Most definitely a big, big problem that is going to have to be addressed in a very big way once and for all. Back at my Texas 2A HS, we had to run bleachers if we caused a penalty, jumped off sides, etc, etc, etc. Thank God the bleachers at that small Texas HS weren't that steep. Silly as it sounds, though, it cut back on our penalties (especially my own as a safety).

At least the empire struck back. (my attempt to lighten the mood)

Anyone want to defend our strength and conditioning staff? Other than our complete and total offensive ineptness, I just don't understand how our guys in the trenches can look so damn weak! We look outmanned every game! I am very happy with the win, but the next level for us is a LONG way away. Congrats to the LB's and DB's for a pretty solid game! Without their solid play it would of been a runaway loss. I think I'll spend the last weekend of October down in Big Bend. The media coverage out there is very limited.

FIU has not been playing football for 4 years, competitively. They have been playing for 3 years and 4 games going into this game tonight. They started up their program in September, 2001 and spent that fall season scrimmaging each other every other saturday.

I posted this on a different thread, but:

I'll take ugly win!

With Troy getting beat up, and almost everyone who won in conference now with a loss, NT is right back up there.

Not in the drivers seat, but not at the bottom of the pile either.

Team SBC Overall

Louisiana-Monroe 3-0 3-4

Arkansas State 2-1 3-3

North Texas 2-1 2-3

Middle Tennessee 1-1 2-3

Troy 1-1 2-4

Florida Atlantic 1-2 1-6

Florida International 0-2 1-4

Louisiana-Lafayette 0-2 1-5

None of the teams have an overall winning record. Pathetic!

GoMeanGreen1999 · October 17, 2005

None of them have a winning record, but whats new....that is basically what the Belt has looked like for years. I just don't see any improvement in our offense from week to week and really don't see how we beat ASU or Monroe.

gksmith · October 18, 2005

No teams with overall winning record.

Part of that is the weakness of the conference.

A lot of that is the teams played in OOC games. Those include Texas, Arkansas, K-State, Tulsa, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas Tech (I think someone from SBC played Tech). There are a lot more I am missing. But you get the point.

That's sad if you consider them a power of any kind.
