You can't make today up

[whaler11]

Up 14-0. Chance to go for the jugular and UConn chooses to punt. Got what they deserved.

4th and 1. Up 14. From the right side of the 50. Punt. Dismissal with cause.

 

[Doggie Style]

But at least we used our timeouts today......

 

[Fishy]

I've been so duck*ing depressed all afternoon.

I went for a run after the game and spent the whole time working up a fury towards Jeff Hathaway.

Now, I'm just despondent.

Opened up a bag of Skittles a few minutes ago. I'm only eating the red and purple ones - after the game, my soul can't take the disappointment of the yellow, green and orange ones. Just throwing those in the sink.

 

[gars44]

How about Whitmer is driving in the fourth, I think it was. He is throwing, people are catching. We are almost to the red zone. What do we bring? You guessed it. The Wildcat. The Wild Cat. Well, we lose three yards, now it's third and 7. Next its field goal blocked. The Wild Cat. What is GDL all about? What planet?

I had no problem with the punt at that point in the game. Hardly why we lost.

Skittles? How about Jamison? How about Captain? How about Chivas? I need a lot more than Skittles.

Every time Whitmer gets into a groove, in comes the gimmick. You are supposed to bust out the gimmick when your offense stops working. You don't use it to ensure that your offense will STOP WORKING.

Exactly why we lost. Set the mentality we have no faith in you players. Players know Coach P has no balls. There was another 4th later in the game, Griffin told Wagner to get back to the bench and pushed him towards the sidelines. Players have had enough. Fans have had enough. You set a mentality to win a game, not punt when you can step on someones throat.

Every time they bring in the wildcat there is a guy in my section that yells FIRE HIM.....its pretty funny, but true....they need to fire P and D

Not when the punt is a touchback and you got a whole 20 yrds out of it...

cheer up fishy. you get to play syracuse next week, each week we are inventing new ways to lose.

Next week will challenge your ability to do that - I think the dam breaks for UConn next week and we get dumptrucked.

Well that was exactly when the game was lost. That single play call. It wasn't a coincidence Temple scored immediately. .

Yep. Short week on road coming off embarrassment. Debacle coming.

 

[ZooCougar]

We're actually playing a team that isn't MAC quality. They could hang thirty or more.

If we don't win another game, it would not surprise me.

I jumped up out of my seat and yelling NO! NO! My wife and other people sitting around me thought I was nuts.

With all due respect that is just nuts.

 

[whaler11]

With all due respect that is just nuts.

Ok. It was obvious at the time nevermind in retrospect.

PP: never win a game in the first half that can be lost in the second.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

This was a huge turning point in the game.......with second and three and Widmer leading us down the field in the second half he gets pulled for Wildcat specialist McCummings who promptly loses 3 yards we settle for an FG try and get ZERO.

 

[Waquoit]

Up 14-0. Chance to go for the jugular and UConn chooses to punt. Got what they deserved.

That was the key play. That's when P announced to the world that he didn't respect his team. Cowardly and gutless. All of his stuff should have been in boxes by curb when the bus got back to campus.

Not much of a FB fan, are you?

Hathaway f*&ked us bigtime with this hire. I was merely disheartened when I first heard PP got the job and then foolishly believed he actually could accomplish a little here after his introductory presser.

Today I feel that in merely firing JH she didn't do enough to him to balance everything. She should have also cut off a few fingers.

 

[UconnFamily]

The touchdown to tie the game up 14-14 was on Taylor Mack the reciever was open in the end zone! It was almost identical to the late touchdown on him against NC State... I don't understand why we have (2) 5th year senior corner's playing great all game and in the end zone you put in Mack??? Deleone must of substituted Mack in behind Brown's back! Smh

 

[FfldCntyFan]

On that play; the play before (to the 15 yard line after an uncalled pushoff) stopped the clock as the WR ended up out of bounds. Why the hell didn't we call a TO then to make sure the defense was set (and fully understanding of their responsibilities) after the long pass play?
