Title: Re: Worried
Post by: sys on September 01, 2018, 07:50:03 PM
this is going to be controversial, but i believe that for as long as the game is relatively low scoring, willie should do full, deep pushups for the traditional celebratory pushup count.  obviously, i don't expect a mascot to do hundreds of full pushups in a high scoring game; however he should not assume that the game will be high scoring.  he should start with full pushups and then gradually transition to shallow pushups as the score elevates.
Title: Re: Worried

Title: Re: Worried
Post by: sys on September 01, 2018, 08:01:10 PM
only down four field goals going into the half.  and recent history suggests we should easily be able to score four field goals per half.  one thing to keep in mind is that while wildcats are considered better fighters pound for pound, coyotes are larger, and being canines, are capable of exerting greater bite forces.

i hate to harp on this, but here we are at the end of the third quarter and our wildcats have notched four field goals.  a little quick math tell me that that's a total of 30 pushups.  now my best days may be behind me, but you can't tell me that our beloved mascot isn't capable of doing 30 full, deep pushups over the course of the three fourths of a game.

some of you are probably thinking - "wait, willie can't do full, deep pushups, you fool.  because of his oversized head."  well, i'm sorry, willie apologists, all he has to do is move forward on the platform so that the head hangs off.  it's a non-issue.

I’ve seen my share of terrible football, but I have never seen so many horrible mistakes, costly officiating errors, and just bad luck all combined in one game. Ever. This must be what Iowa State feels like all the time. We even fumbled at the end when all we really needed to do was take a knee.

I guess the only positives I can find are (1) our kicking game, (2) Thompson and Zuber showed some grit when the game was on the line, and (3) we somehow avoided the most embarrassing loss in the Snyder era.

Our defense is horrific. Our o-line isn’t much better. Buckle up for a rough season.

How heavy is the oversized head? Maybe hanging the head off of the platform is a no-go because of weight distribution? The guy has scrawny arms, I’m worried that he is very top heavy and would cause (more) embarrassment for our university.  ???

Had to settle for three red zone field goals against an FCS team, including a dropped wide open TD pass that my mom could have made during TG touch football.

4-0 turnover ratio, including one when taking a knee would have sealed the game. And a fifth fumble out of bounds.

An 85 yard punt return called back on an illegal block that was both ticky tack and did not affect the play. A 60 yard interception negated by a phantom pass interference call.

A bobbled pass for an INT.

13 PENALTIES FOR 129 YARDS.

That’s just off the top of my head. Last night was a nightmare combination of things going wrong. And I’m not even including the fact that our defense played like dogshit for over half the game. Very lucky to have won.

The defense rebounded nicely, and they were put in terrible situations for most of the game.

If they could clean up the turnovers, penalties, and actually punch it into the endzone in the first half, obv a totally different game, but that is a lot to clean up.

Really, they looked almost nervous and disjointed the whole game. It wasn't really until the punt return they seemed to relax and actually play. It was like they were trying so hard to not make a mistake, that they made mistakes.

The offense still at times looked like it flows better with Delton, but Thompson got the job done. Zuber was great. Rest of the wide receivers need to learn to catch the ball. The one that gave up the bobbled INT should still be running this morning. Same with the damn tight end.

Bills justification after the game was there was too much time left for them to call timeout. That if we got the first we couldn’t run the clock out. That was basically his answer to why we got the delay. :confused:

It was not legit. The WR pulled our DB down(can’t remember who it was) with his arm. I was going rough ridin' nuts on the side judge. He threw the flag before the play actually happened.

Pretty sure the bobbled catch for an INT was a metaphor for the entire game up to that point.

2. Reggie Walker showed some burst.  Like the fact we are rotating DLineman so they are not dead at end of season from playing every snap.
3. McGee showed some cover skills.
4. Zuber has some skills in the return game and can be our go to receiver. 
5. We got all the crazy crap out of our system in the first game!!!
6. Skylar Thompson is very good in crunch time. 
7. Patton is much faster than Tanking and Kirby.  He will be a star after a few games.
8. Eli Walker may be the best athlete on defense.  Glad to see him on the field.
9. Our new long snappers had all good snaps...don't take this element for granted!
10. Defense pitched a shutout in the second half.

We are 1-0.  A win this week will have us all dancing. :billdance:

Running the ball there was literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a college football field. There were 54 seconds left, so let's use the dumb chart Bill referenced. We take a knee on first down, only taking 2 seconds, time out USD, 52 seconds left. We take another knee, time out USD, 50 seconds, third down, no times out left. Third down we take another knee this time 41 seconds tick off, 2 seconds to run the play, 39 off of the play clock before we take a time out. That leaves 9 seconds, we take another knee. I actually punt from the 30, it takes more time, but let's say we take a knee. That leaves USD 7 seconds to go 50 yards to get into FG position they don't have time to take because they have no time outs. Game over.

This says nothing about the previous dumbest ever thing I've ever seen on a football field, the previous play, taking that delay of game on a third and 1.

That was the most unorganized, assy, coaching display I've ever seen.

The offense was exactly the same but of course we weren't going to see anything different this game. I am worried that when we got down 12 we went back to the QB runs between the tackles. It was effective but both guys took big shots.

I can't tell defensive schemes by looking at them but what I can tell you is that the DBs played much tighter when USD started hitting those quick hitters. I think that's why they didn't score in the second half, those were taken away for the most part and their receivers had a hard time separating. The quick hitters being taken away also gave the d-line more time.

No they weren't, don't be silly. If they were the more talented team they would have won by 30.

Re “the chart”: it doesn’t have a column for “# of fumbles by your RB”. Which is why it’s the job of our highly compensated coaching staff to make a decision based on taking a measure of the friggin game instead of relying solely on a laminated card. That was so ISU it’s embarsssing but at least we escaped. :facepalm:

Exactly.....the “chart”apparently doesn’t distinguish being at their 8 yard line already.  As MIR pointed out above, we could have kneeled and left them with nine seconds, pinned way deep.  But if you do feel like you have to run it one time, you take two knees first and force them to use their timeouts.  Then, if you feel you have to run it once you do it on third or fourth down, so at least you have forced them to burn timeouts and you have run as much clock as possible.

Three years ago Coleman was the only one smart enough to realize we needed to go for against TCU.  I had high hopes that he, or Klein, would bring a little common sense to our game management.  Early results are very concerning.  This staff doesn’t seem very smart at making quick, decisive, intelligent game management decisions. 

I was also beyond annoyed that we had to call a timeout to get that two point conversion.....anybody would any foresight could’ve seen that we were going to need to go for two if we scored a td to go up one.  I mean, I realized that scenario was a possibility from my couch, and I don’t make millions of dollars to do anything, let alone coach football.

All great points, but to be fair we didn't take a time out before that two. They thought they had to because of an expiring play clock but the touchdown was being reviewed while the play clock was running down. They reset the play clock and let us keep the timeout.

Folks, I just heard from a reliable source that we have been scheming for Mississippi State and SD had been schemes for us. Kind of like how paper beats rock sometimes things don’t make fence and even though the rock is obviously bigger and more badass, that can get cover 2’d for a bit until the rock can get its bearings in the dark.

I think that Snyder likes scheming so much that he makes it harder on himself by recruiting slow and/or unathletic players. Like a self imposed handicap just to see if he can do it.

I just gasped.  How did I never see this before.

I didn’t realize that....I stand corrected

That was the most unorganized, assy, coaching display I've ever seen.

Recency bias.

Word...I'm still worried but this combined with legit atrocious zebras makes me feel a little better.
We need some purple kool-aid!

1. Blake Lynch made four FG's and all XP's and looked very good! 
2. Reggie Walker showed some burst.  Like the fact we are rotating DLineman so they are not dead at end of season from playing every snap.
3. McGee showed some cover skills.
4. Zuber has some skills in the return game and can be our go to receiver. 
5. We got all the crazy crap out of our system in the first game!!!
6. Skylar Thompson is very good in crunch time. 
7. Patton is much faster than Tanking and Kirby.  He will be a star after a few games.
8. Eli Walker may be the best athlete on defense.  Glad to see him on the field.
9. Our new long snappers had all good snaps...don't take this element for granted!
10. Defense pitched a shutout in the second half.

We are 1-0.  A win this week will have us all dancing. :billdance:

Shelley had a lot of tackles last night. After long pass completions. The guy was a containment monster.

Yes, he showed a great ability at recovering after getting beat on a first move

It might rain, it has rained before, but then again it might not.

He's talking about 2013. He's just too old to remember what year it was that he got a statue commissioned, his daughter got engaged, and he embarrassed himself and the school paying him millions all on the same night.

Given the recent flooding, this statement is a bit too soon.
