Critical game

I'm obviously disappointed in the way this season has transpired so far but I haven't given up on the Lions in 30 years so not gonna give up on my Cuse either. Menu is set. Looks like a perfect morning to tailgate. Momma always says college football is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get. Time to show some life and right the ship. No cigars tomorrow.
 
My throat has just recovered...but tomorrow I'll suck it up and putt away my Jeep FOB on 3rd down and scream loud!

44 Forever!
You should scream loud on every down, they all count! I say this in jest but there is a hint of truth to it out there in the general pop. Why do people get loud on 3rd and 1 as opposed to 1st and 10? Nothing better than forcing an offense into 2nd/3rd and long.

Same reason people in baseball only cheer on the last pitch of the last inning... in the playoffs. otherwise they eat hot dogs, look at their phones, generally do anything but actually watch the game.

sorry got derailed.
 
Sounds kind of silly after last week but I really see tomorrow as a potential inflection point for the program. Playing a team we should beat at home if we execute but it's not outside the realm of possibility that WMU scores the upset.

Never look past ANY game (since the Villanova debacle) but a win tomorrow and over Holy Cross going into a bye week resets us for the balance of the conference season with a chance to get healthy and really tweak some problem areas before travelling to Raleigh.

A loss tomorrow, however means a tougher road to becoming bowl eligible, a major dropoff in bandwagon fan interest and frankly a propensity to start to question if last year really was a fluke.

Let's go get it tomorrow!
To emploly a movie quote (as Dino likes to do), we need to restore balance to the Force.

They actually won on 3rd and short a couple of times, I was shocked
 
I hate the must win moniker as much as anyone. but I will use it here. I just feel like the season will go down the tubes if we lose tomorrow. And I am a glass half full person. So, let's win, then we get a slam dunk win next week and then a week to get healthy for NC State. 3-2 versus the 4-1 we expected/hoped for wouldn't be too bad, in spite of how poorly we have played thus far

NC State still remains a swing game in determining whether or not we have a good year.
