FOOTBALL CUSA Championship Game @ Johnny Red Floyd Stadium, 12:30PM, Saturday, December 1, 2018

[RaiderDawg78]

Abandoned the running game, bad throw...

Need something to change in a hurry.

 

[bobdizole]

Schafer is going to have to save us

 

[BlueAlpha]

That's where an AD comes in. Do whatever it takes to get butts in seats for something like this. Give tickets to every school kid, go to churches and sell cheap game packs, offer tons of freebie tickets to media outlets to give away. Anything to get people there.

I just can't understand how this guy keeps hanging around as AD. He's so bad.

Just a guess but I imagine for any school, in any conference, when it’s a home game, they can do whatever they want to do with their tickets.
I would think for a conference championship in any conference everything is pretty tightly controlled by the conference office. Am sure they set ticket prices, how many comp tickets each school gets, etc. Just a guess, it doesn’t excuse how poorly I think he is as an AD though, overall.
As far as UAB’s crowd goes, I thought I saw where the school was providing transportation, tickets, and a meal for their students who wanted to come. Great move on their part.

 

[sWiley]

we lose

 

[MTBig Blue]

Crazy that 20 minutes ago we were in complete control of this game.

 

[RaiderDawg78]

D is breaking down, getting chippy.

They are just playing better right now.

 

[sWiley]

What a joke to give up 3 unanswered touchdowns.....

 

[bobdizole]

Jesus Brent is putting it all on the line

 

[MTBig Blue]

I honestly don't know how we are only down by 8. Seems like with the way this 2nd quarter has gone, we should be down by 20.

 

[RaiderDawg78]

The team that is winning at the LOS is winning at halftime.

Our lack of defensive discipline is an issue as well. They are taking advantage of our mistakes.

 

[sWiley]

If we can’t stop the run we can’t get win. Go man with a single high safety and make them throw it to beat us.

 

[bobdizole]

That's how you start the half

 

[sWiley]

UAB gift wrapped it for us there and we didn’t accept the gift. We are not playing championship football.....

 

[sWiley]

UAB is winning both lines of scrimmage. Can’t win when that’s happening.

 

[sWiley]

I have never seen a center hold so much. Refs refuse to call it.

 

[bobdizole]

Big stop there. Let's cash it in

 

[Sommy]

Our weak O line is showing

 

[Sommy]

Dobson ! That guy can run. He needs to get the ball more

 

[BlueRaiderFan]

Way to come back Blue Raiders!

 

[sWiley]

Most predictable 2 point conversion in the history of college football

 

[BlueRaiderFan]

Still could win with a FG...

 

[bobdizole]

Our defense has come alive

 

[sWiley]

I want a TD. I still don’t trust crews holt

 

[MidTennMtneer]

Finally a stop! Let’s make something of.

 

[sWiley]

Our defense has come alive

We finally started subbing the DL. I don't recall a single sub in the first half and they were just tired. Our back ups are still very good. Jordan Ferguson is a MAN but rarely gets in the game. I'd rather have a well rested 2 deep line in there instead of tired 1st team.

 

[sWiley]

My anxiety is through the roof here. I wish we would blow them out and make this easy on the nerves but I can already tell it's coming down to the bitter end.

Let's go get some damn points here.

 

[BlueRaiderFan]

We need this win. Time to make history Blue Raiders.

 

[bobdizole]

Damnit Lee

 

[sWiley]

Let's get at least a FG here. Our D is back on.

 

[sWiley]

Take us home Shafer

 

[MidTennMtneer]

I was hoping a beer would calm my nerves. Didn’t work. May have to go to crown and coke to get myself calmed down. Sheesh.

 

[BlueRaiderFan]

Hold it together Blue Raiders...

 

[MidTennMtneer]

We can do this. We can do this.

 

[sWiley]

Stay aggressive. Don’t tighten up now

 

[sWiley]

Why does play calling turn to crap when we get a 1 point lead

 

[sWiley]

Looks like we are trying to give the damn game away

 

[sWiley]

Last time we went 3 and out UAB scores 21 unanswered. Can we not do that please ?

 

[bobdizole]

Oui, don't feel good about that but I'll take it anyway

 

[sWiley]

Maybe UAB scoring is a good thing. We play like utter dog $hit every time we get a lead in this game

 

[RaiderDawg78]

Have to admit...getting the ball with 3:23, with a chance to win it, at home, with our best ever QB.....this is true championship time for MT.
