Holiday Bowl First-Half Thread

[BigNUFan51]

No show for the Cats tonight.

 

[HawkCat]

Gonna be a long night. Our D is seriously missing Thompson, Hartage and Hall.

 

[phatcat]

Feel bad for Mayo. Hope not serious. Looks neck oriented

 

[TheC]

Can we quit with the Thorson to the NFL talk now? Their backup QB is more accurate than our 5th year senior.

 

[Fitz51]

We’re just hiding all our plays over 5 yards for the next game.

 

[scru]

Why not run with Thorson on 4th and 1? Fear of injury?

Yes. Thorson's draft status more important that winning. We don't look like a team or a coaching staff that really wants to win. Meaningless game and they know it. Should just concede now so that everyone stays healthy.

 

[BigCatFan19]

At this point Utah will put up 40 + points - but typical NU down by 20+ points will decide to pick-it-up... Starting on time is all coaching

Yikes. I know there's a lot of football left to play, but this is starting to look really not good.

At this point Utah will put up 40 + points

 

[Figrating]

NU O must get off stop.

Utah is going through the NU D without being challenged.

 

[freewillie07]

Gonna be a long night. Our D is seriously missing Thompson, Hartage and Hall.

Well, they won't be here next year either. No excuses. Next man up.

 

[corbi296]

Offensive pass interference.

 

[BFDCat]

This is getting ugly

 

[mcdadenets50]

Utes look faster, stronger, and more creative.

 

[phatcat]

Well, they won't be here next year either. No excuses. Next man up.

You presume that incoming freshmen won't beat out the guys on the field now

 

[corbi296]

This is getting ugly

Relax. What a bunch of friggin pansies on this board.

 

[phatcat]

This is getting ugly

It will be a tall order to look worse than Purdue or Mich...

But...

 

[Pukecat]

No show for the Cats tonight.

Missing Hall and Thompson and I'm sure the Fitz rumors aren't helping, as well as several staff members eyeing their transition to EIU.

 

[BFDCat]

Where was the roughing on that play? Tackled after whistle blown.

 

[scru]

100% outcoached. Utah knows exactly what we are doing on O and D and we are as vanilla as a carton of Breyers.

F it, might as well just put in the second string now. All this is doing is costing Thorson a job as after college.

 

[BigNUFan51]

Total beatdown

 

[Catslash]

NIU played this team tight.

 

[Figrating]

NU is on the field but not in this game.

 

[nickcat4]

NU is on the field but not in this game.

Boys vs men

 

[corbi296]

Boys vs men

LOL.

 

[freewillie07]

Where was the roughing on that play? Tackled after whistle blown.

Yeah, totally could have been called. And that was an offsides, NOT a false start.

Chad Hanaoka - nice story, not a third down back... Did anyone prepare for this game during the past 4 weeks?

 

[phatcat]

Missing Hall and Thompson and I'm sure the Fitz rumors aren't helping, as well as several staff members eyeing their transition to EIU.

Everyone is a M*A*S*H unit this time of year

I don't think the Packers thing has anybeffeca

 

[BFDCat]

Relax. What a bunch of friggin pansies on this board.

Am I in any way wrong that we are playing ugly? You must be watching a different game.

 

[Figrating]

I dislike the call that went against Lees 1st down...

 

[BigCatFan19]

Yeah, totally could have been called. And that was an offsides, NOT a false start.

Well putting the team down by 3 scores should be fun

 

[BigNUFan51]

Bout to be 21-0

 

[BFDCat]

I dislike the call that went against Lees 1st down...

If he goes OOB he gets forward progress.

 

[eastbaycat99]

A lot going wrong, hope something breaks the Cats’ way soon.

 

[scru]

Am I in any way wrong that we are playing ugly? You must be watching a different game.

Seriously, corbi, I appreciate your optimism but this is a horrific showing so far. I see nothing so far that would indicate the coaching staff planned at all for this game. We are not Saban and Alabama... we actually need to scheme against opponents. Clearly Utah did.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Just no more rushing 3, please. We've done it twice and been burned both times for big plays.

Still way too early to panic.

 

[Alvious]

First break of the game. 'Cats ball!

Edit: Never mind.

 

[corbi296]

It’s a long game and if any of you chicken littles even had a remote clue what it’s like to be part of a team you would know that things can change quickly as long as you stick together and stay positive. You guys are ready to quit on this team after half a quarter. What a bunch of losers. Luckily the NU players are not.

 

[Fitz51]

Boys vs men

Boyz II Men

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Utah stack in the Box. We are playing three man front

 

[BigNUFan51]

Complete no show

 

[Fitz51]

PAC 12 is down this year.
