This!!! Total fluke win. The win in 2019 over a horrible Akron team that went 0 - 12, was all Whip players: Curtis, Emilus, Alley, who made the difference in that game.

Re: 2022 Season
Curtis never played again and he carried the team to that win vs Akron. It also was his only full game that year.dennisdent wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 6:45 pmThis!!! Total fluke win.

Re: 2022 Season
Please, DB should have realized like the rest of us who are not half as intelligent, that they plays calling was horrible and should have stepped in if he really thought it was a problem, he didn't, which means he was okay with the play calling and that Casulo was following his orders.TheInsider wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 5:28 pm Or DB had to scramble to find a guy..

Why else would a head coach want to see his offense playing call on his team be a laughing stock. please supply me facts that the above is not true.
Does are head of athletics own any of this ( ryan bamford). maybe we need a change their as well and a new beginning from the top !!
I don't want this chain to become a ryan bamford discussion, just saying perhaps we need a change at the top.
Re: 2022 Season
Ryan Bamford is sainted in my book!!! He hired Carvel who brought us our only Division 1 Men's National Championship. (You don't count the FCS/1AA football championship).pk77 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 8:41 pmPlease, DB should have realized like the rest of us who are not half as intelligent, that they plays calling was horrible and should have stepped in if he really thought it was a problem, he didn't, which means he was okay with the play calling and that Casulo was following his orders.TheInsider wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 5:28 pm Or DB had to scramble to find a guy..

Re: 2022 Season
Not diminishing the '98 1AA National Championship!!! It's just not the highest level of competition.

I just checked out of 2022 season after the NMSU loss. We blew a 10-0 lead and the straw that broke the camel's back for me was punting on 4th and 3 deep in their end late in the 4th quarter. Bay Area UMie really hit the nail on the head when he said that its a structural problem meaning no matter which coach we bring in we are going to suck.
Re: 2022 Season
Bill Belichick couldn't win at UMass. The talent level is horrendous. Until we get a half decent QB we are going to suck. The defense has kept us in games but you need to score TDs. Don't think you can give financial incentives to college kids to catch passes and run for first downs and TDs.UMass1927 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 2:14 pmBill Belichick could win anywhere, including at umass. Generally I agree though. The on field talent gap is massive every week, and we are usually operating at a coaching talent deficit as well.ZooMass84 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 2:09 pmDoesn't matter who the coach of this mess is; could be Vince Lombardi, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney.......the result will be the same.

Re: 2022 Season
hey maybe WV fires Neal Brown...
Re: 2022 Season
I only had a couple of beers Thanksgiving!!!! Jus sayin'......I'm all for the Zoo playing Big Boy football: it's the ONLY option for us now. Only Idaho dropped back down to 1AA voluntarily. We've got plenty of dough and we're an independent (there's no conference kicking us out). We can do this forever. I like the way we fought back at Ark State. The stars pretty much have to align for us to put together a couple of wins. even one win. Just cant get over us blowing a 10-0 lead over NMSU. It reminded me of the Maine game last year. And NOT going for it 4th and 3 late in the game I went ballistic. Just like Coach Gomer. When NMSU had that bye week right before us it killed us. We needed them banged up then the long flight.eldonabe wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 8:10 amZooMass84 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 9:44 pmBill Belichick couldn't win at UMass. The talent level is horrendous.

Re: 2022 Season
Yeah there's nothing like college football. You can win Mens Hoops and all the other sports but college football is only 12 games then its over. 85 players plus a ton of coaches and people in the stands. Vegas betting etc. just don't know why it's so damn hard to win a frickin' game. just one game out of 12 not counting the 1AA game at home.
Re: 2022 Season
it will be 6 pr 7 wins next year and 9 in 2024..
