See you all when you're ready to jump back on.
I'll be there when we get a new coach.ZapPoke wrote:See you all when you're ready to jump back on.
I gave up on the football program long ago, doesn't mean I don't root for them or pay attention anymore, would be thrilled to attend every game if I could and sing about roses and butterflies, but I don't attend poop shows.joshvanklomp wrote:For as much as people talk about suffering through decades with this program, it's amazing how quickly those same people give up on the same program.
What rebuilding decade are you talking about?joshvanklomp wrote:For as much as people talk about suffering through decades with this program, it's amazing how quickly those same people give up on the same program in a year they went into knowing it's still a rebuilding process.
We've been "rebuilding" for over a decade. First the Koenning years happened, some of the worst in UW history. Then we brought in Glenn, started off promising, but then struggled to hit 4 wins. Then we got DC who was incredibly predictable and terrible at player development. Now, after last year looking promising, we lose by double digit figures to the bad North Dakota school. What the hell more do you want?joshvanklomp wrote:For as much as people talk about suffering through decades with this program, it's amazing how quickly those same people give up on the same program in a year they went into knowing it's still a rebuilding process.
You have been on that bandwagon for 30 yearsZapPoke wrote:See you all when you're ready to jump back on.
Rebuilding is one thing, but there needs to be visible progress. Like fromolwyoming said, there appears to be serious regression.joshvanklomp wrote:For as much as people talk about suffering through decades with this program, it's amazing how quickly those same people give up on the same program in a year they went into knowing it's still a rebuilding process.
Actually, it has been over 50 years. I'm not going anywhereCuttslam wrote:You have been on that bandwagon for 30 yearsZapPoke wrote:See you all when you're ready to jump back on.
We all saw this happening before last season. We knew it was a big senior class last year and that we lost a number of defensive players on an already bad defense. Everyone just assumed it would be addition by subtraction. It was the first game on defense at this level for probably half of the back-7.J-Rod wrote:Rebuilding is one thing, but there needs to be visible progress.

You're preaching to the choir. I've been saying all off-season that a rude awakening was ahead....but losing by double digits to UND?! That never crossed my mind.joshvanklomp wrote: We all saw this happening before last season.

And what about the offense? Or better phrased, lack thereof? And all the penalties?joshvanklomp wrote:We all saw this happening before last season.

Yes. You are correct. They whipped our asses. Our linemen on both sides of the ball are little bitches compared to them. They absolutely, completely and unequivocally controlled the line of scrimmage.CowboyNV wrote:We have 3 seniors, 4 juniors and 4 sophomores starting on offense. We were also supposed to have the two best running backs in the league. What we have is a giant cluster f-word that not only can't score, they can't even sustain a drive for longer than two minutes. The defense had a part in losing this game, but the offense, or lack of any semblance of an offense, is what lost this one. I didn't expect this to be a banner year, but I did expect the Pokes to take care of business against a mid-level Big Sky team that was playing at 7,220 feet.
