_FAN, WE NEED YOU!
-
Questions for _FAN:
What is '19 Sky giving us that we didn't get from '18 Sky?
If you had to ride or die with one RB, would it be and why?
These young WRs...would they have played at this point under Snyder, or are we seeing a new trend of younger guys playing earlier?
FB's....Are we going to be FB U now? Is this more or less than what we saw with Dimel Family Fullback schemes?

Fan is too big time for lil ole gE :frown:

If you don't believe in _Fan, he does not visit your blog. Do you believe, ben ji?

Maybe the owners of ge should offer him more money.

I'll bring it up at the next shareholder's meeting (don't know when that will ever be tho). Some may call our governance style "laissez faire," but above all, we are just a very lazy group. That's our defining characteristic.
In the meantime, we must rely upon goodwill.

I would fully support this. He went to the Cardinals but he needs to come home. PAY _FAN!

I miss gE _Fan. But like KSO fan as well. I really miss chatting football w hfbiq gEs that are also funny. Too many on KSO are faux big brain types who aren’t funny and just want to seem smart imo.
-
I was never that into serious sports discussion. At this point, I am completely over it. Hell, I don't even know how many games I'll watch this year. But FAN is great, for sure.
-
I'm a _Fan Stan.

_Fan was always so good at talking me off of/on to the ledge. I mean, if Steve Dave says we suck, I'm just like "meh". If _Fan says we suck though :shooturmouth:
-
we do not suck imo

Time to face the cold hard truth. _fan has moved on. He’s making gifs on KSO. He’s playing jeopardy on Boscoe’s Boys. He’s hanging with the kman guys. He’s all grown up and has forgotten where it all started. Like Robin Williams in Hook. He’s not the _fan and he’s never coming back to join the gE lost boys.
-
Pete you legit seem to like football again, that’s pretty neat.

Hey guys...

this doesn't seem organic, maybe try it again some other time, maybe with an apology

Hey guys...
How many yards are we going to get on the ground against Bowling Green? 300? 400? A Bagillion?
-

I don't think we suck. I thoroughly enjoyed game 1 of the Klieman era.
The offensive display was much better than I anticipated. I looked into the Messy offense before the season and I had some apprehension. He definitely passed the test. Using a bunch of formations and personnel, a highly efficient offense (65% success rate before garbage time, better than any game last year), and some really nice games from Sky and the backs. I want to see some more big plays in the passing game and our receivers not to drop passes.
Defensively we were solid. A couple forced TOs and a havoc rate of 25%, pretty good. The one drive after halftime wasn't ideal, but overall I liked what I saw.
Also, no big plays on special teams and a missed FG. Brooks almost broke one I guess, but I still want to see big special teams plays.

I'm guessing around 300. Maybe not as many on the ground, hopefully more through the air.
It was impressive to run for that against Nicholls (even if they are only FCS) when they were still putting 8 or more in the box to stop the run.

I would like to hear more about our cat havoc rate :drool:
-
@kso_FAN are you putting out the five factors stuff you did last year? Are Connelly's team profiles available?
-
I would like to hear more about our cat havoc rate :drool:
Havoc Rate is tackles for loss (including sacks), forced fumbles, pass break ups, and interceptions divided by total defensive snaps. A pretty cool stat IMO from Bill Connelly. Last year K-State finished at 13% which ranked like 100 or so in the country.
-

I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. Connelly's team stuff or advanced boxes are not available this year since he jumped to ESPN.

This is now my favorite stat.
'clams, can we get a chant mocked up for our new havoc hellraisers?

You referenced havoc rate. I'm curious how you calculated that...My eyeballs told me our pass rush was kind of lacking on Saturday night -- where are you finding havoc or are you calculating that on your own?
EDIT: Nevermind, i just saw your post above spelling out what Havoc actually is. I assumed it was strictly backfield stuff.

Also, I will be at Fatty Fest this year, going for the 3 peat....

My own calculation.

was disappointed we didnt' have any sacks after our d-line has been talking all offseason about being the best d-line in the conference. Nicholls getting the ball out too quick to combat this rush or is our rush maybe not as good as we thought?

Well I hope you trademarked that so someone doesn't steal it and plaster it all over stuff.

This is what I'm talking about. One brief _Fanalysis and I'm completely chill.

Fan, can you break down how much we have used A gap power? NDSU was entirely built around A gap power, I think we're the exact same play book.

This is what I have charted for the year in non-garbage snaps, so 17% of the snaps. From what I've seen (I charted 3 NDSU games last year) we are using a big more inside zone and outside power stuff (G power, power sweep, counter trey) than the NDSU offense.

Interesting,
Still, 1 in 5 runs is A gap power. Kleiman said at the press conference Monday they will be installing more of the offense this bye-week. Will be interesting to see what changes.

goEMAW getting our mojo back.
feels good guys

Dear _Fan,
I just need you to tell me that we don't suck anymore. That is it. I know some of these other guys want all that stat crap and that is ok. I just need simple confirmation. Thanks for all you do and please don't ever leave us.

Hey _FAN totally random question but did you used to sit in section 2...I dunno maybe 8-10 rows up about the 5 yd line back in the late 90s?

No, that wasn't me. I had student tickets up until the early 2000s, even a few years after I graduated. Since the early 2000s I've sat in section 21 or 22. Now I sit in the press box.

Ah dang. Back then I would occasionally sit in 2 and there was a guy probably in his early/mid 20s and he would call like every single play they would run on offense and then bam they would run that exact play almost every single time and I was like who is this man? and I was crossing my fingers it was a young up and coming _FAN
