Wow!

I'm not sure if I should be happy that we're clubbing YSU or still pissed at this team for not showing up against NAU and SIU. Games we clearly should have won.
I'll go with happy.

what sucks is this statement win will look weaker by end of season. YSU was a top 10-15 team .. injuries and playing toughest FCS schedule did them in this year.

Really, it should look weaker. That ain't a top 10-15 we're playing today.

agreed ... I did say "was" = D

if we're being honest .. they came in ripe for a beating and we delivered. They had a very nice run, even going 3-4 .. but they are now beat up and confidence lost on offense. Though I haven't heard they have many injuries on defense ??

Kudo's to RB's, OL, and OC Dicken .. back to basics focus on running the ball the last 2 weeks is allowing them to find themselves and build confidence. We got WIU at home, who is very solid on defense, then SDSU on road who is average at best on defense, and then a very tough NDSU at home ... this sets up very well to continue our progression on offense. Still a work in progress, but back on track ... nice job for entire offense figuring this out after 2.5 dismal showings.

All of this will ultimately help Kolbe in pass game when we need to throw it more. No sign iof Gibbs today .. hope he is ready for WIU.

I had bad video all game, herky jerky, like watching one still after another, lots of missed action. Just me? Have I got a "technical problem" with my laptop? Audio okay, but not video.

Madbird...my connection via broadband from Mediacom...is almost always a glistening herky jerky. I think my issues with the herky jerky business is not enough bandwidth available for the high traffic signals. The connection was excellent for the first hour after the delay in vid...then at 2PM....a definite drop in quality.

Someone in their thread on the UNI game listed off 8 or 10 names of injured players.

Connection on Charter cable in StL area was fine.

If you can go from a WiFi to a wired connection, it helps immensely. I plug my modem into my computer with an Ethernet connection and then my laptop into my tv with a HDMI cable.

Xfinity. I use the WatchESPN ap on my phone and cast it to my tv with chrome cast. Didn’t see first quarter, but I almost never have any issues. Football or basketball. I think the ap
May be better technically than streaming on laptop. Not sure tho. I am just a technically stupid old fart. Chrome cast costs $30.

It's hard to believe Robinson and Smith are only sophomores. Both are special players.
