What Statistic Matters More, Than The Fact

eulessismore · November 2, 2009

I've already posted in a couple of the post game threads, many of which seemed to have originated or been "jacked" in a generally negative way. I think one thing should be pointed out; we won two games, and 4 games earlier in the season than the first year a Dodge team won two. And I really wonder why noone has tried to be a little more analytical about why that we won in the way that we did, possible injuries, the difficulties of staying positive after weeks of losing, 3 times by a touchdown or less in the fourth quarter. Did people really feel better about a defense that when it had better statistics but couldn't hold anyone in the fourth quarter?

I think part of it may have been that WKU is widely considered so bad; still, they were desperate for a win. Why take anyone for granted. We've beaten them 3 times out of 3, but the first two times, I think it came down to the final play, not the final quarter. Yes, we looked better in other games, but the fact is, we were 1-6; whether or not the personnel changes on defense were mostly due to injuries, I would fault the coaching staff more for staying with the same course.

I think it might be useful to click on the following link and scroll down to the next to last paragraph, where Austin Miles talks about attitude. I think a lot of us could question ourselves as to whether we are "among a positive group of people", and what part we individually play in that.

unt has scored the most points of any team in the sbc. it has also given up them most points, except for wku. logical reasons only 110 fans showed up on a beautiful fall day to see two lousy teams play. bad opponent, bad home team, halloween, frustration, full moon.

I am just going to assume that you meant Miles Austin.
