    Not only

    Do we start threads hating on the sun belt and the ULs daily, we also just were outmatched by an fcs team that no one on their squad had an offer from us. Top that off with us letting NSU to spell out demons with our (terrible) PA announcer pumping them up? The hell? I think I may be dreaming after watching us tonight.

    Why did we stop throwing the deep ball?

    Why didn't we run effectively? Their DBs were closing in on Dixon like NFL players.

    Also there needs to be some general admission on the west side. East side didn't all get sat until after the 1q

    We were hardly outmatched by an FCS team. We literally just gave the game way with turnovers and penalties. Nothing more, nothing less.

    We could have taken the game into OT but let them go from the 49 into FG range w under 1 min left. They also gashed us entering the second half to pull 13-10. The power back killed us that drive and to me, cost us the game. Also, three picks can't be only bad on the QB. The defense had a lot to do with two of those.

    Actually, the NSU QB Zach Adkins was offered and was coming to Tech to play for Franklin and Dykes but when they left, he decided to go to NSU and play for another Franklin disciple Robby Brown.

    That is terrible.

    We did send a pep band to ULL. Three days is not enough time to plan a trip for 150+ students and staff (and trimmings). BoP also wasn't given the money for more than a pep band. I'd wager there was no plan or thought of sending the band until too late. However, NSU had plenty of time to prepare to bring their band. There was no question of them coming or not. They do have the money. Their band is a priority to the university and athletic program. The NSU music department doesn't fight (hard) for a cut of the pie. Tech's problems are too numerous, but not insurmountable. Need people that care though. Robken cares, but hasn't been able to put up the fight necessary. With his leaving at the end of the year, we'll see how committed Tech is with his replacement.

    NSU actually had 8plays then a punt on the first possession of the 2nd half.
    Then Sokol threw an interception at mid field on our first possession of the second half, giving NSU a short field, which they did use to score a TD [on which they converted a 4th and 1 at our 45].
    The turnover was significant.

    We had so many opportunities to put this game away in the second half and every time our offense or special teams pissed them away by giving the ball to NSU. When is the last time we gave the ball away 5 times in one game?

    Lazy, sloppy, and careless describes our effort very well.

    That would either be the other band's own announcer or was our PA announcer reading a script. That is common courtesy when bands are playing. Sorry if you missed the memo.

    Probably none of the three picks could be blamed on Sokol entirely...two hit receiver hands and were tipped up, and on the other one the intended receiver stopped on the route.

    I'm more concerned with the last fumble. That is a correctable error which clearly hasn't been corrected from last year. When a team needs just two first downs to win the game, the object is to get to the line to gain and go down. The object is not try to get meaningless extra yards past the line to gain and put the ball on the ground.

    But with that said, there was no way that game should have ever come down to either of the last two drives that resulted in turnovers.

    Exactly....... And that sums up the game.

    1) it was NSU's announcer
    2) NSU funds their music department like we fund Engineering. Their band budget is 10 times ours.
    3) their band is in fact bigger than ours
    4) their band camp lasts three times as long as ours
    5) their band is 80% music majors, ours is 20% or less
    6) NSU plays their spell out every show...for the past 40 years. It hasn't changed. There was nothing wrong with what they did.

    If you actually read the band threads, you'd know all this.

    Correct, rhythm, NSU spends $millions on its band and its music programs. And that was NSU's PA guy who travels with their band. NSU has established partnerships with both domestic and international schools of music who send their kids to NSU. It is a totally different level of commitment.

    Now....contrast that with Nancy Bergeon "wadies and gentlewen..."

    Agree 1000%. In no way were we "outmatched"
