If anyone got a picture of HSU team after the game please send me a link...as that sight never ever ever gets old.

Aaahh, a classic yessir post.  You almost got all the way through one post without your classlessness shining through!  But  I know you just can't help it.  I'm sure Coach Fred would be very proud of you and a couple of others on here. 

Congrats to UMHB.  You did what you needed to win.  Great game by the Cowboys!  A 2 point game on the road to the number 3 team in the nation that could have gone either way.  Looks like there isn't much difference in the number 3 and number 21 teams!  UMHB definitely lost a little of their "mystique" today and I hope we get a chance to meet again in the playoffs!

Now, let's win out Cowboys.  ETBU looks like a contender. 

I have more class than you think....what I really wanted to do is run out on the field and laugh at them. But I restrained myself...I'm sure Coach Fred is proud of the person I have become.....and if not

Entertaining game in Belton today.  Felt the CRU dominated but shot themselves in the foot in the red zone with penalties and missed opportunities and really should have won by a couple of TD's.  Impressed by Feaster and his ability to avoid the pressure to keep plays alive but really thought most of HSU's gains were on a handful of plays--a couple of trick plays at that.  HSU had a really hard time stopping the run and UMHB needs to get healthy and fast...maybe then their QB will pitch it some on his option plays.  Should be a great second half of the season.

Cover2,
No offense to your statement underlined above but remember, the option keep or pitch is dependent on the defense, not a call from the offensive sidelines or QB.    HSU was in an eight man front and on almost every play the OLB's were sprinting to the pitch man to to force the QB to keep the ball.  HSU decided they did not want the running backs to break a long one outside but rather make the QB keep the ball inside where they had more players and help.  Thats why Saenz had over 160  yards.  It would have been the same result on the option if Quincy had played.

Yessir.  I dont know you but Im pretty sure by your post you are an idiot. Why would you think laughing at someone because they lost a game is the mature thing to do?

[yessir]

Your right you don't know a thing about me or my maturity.....I can gaurantee you i've dealt with more mature stuff in my 25 years than you can even fathom. I could care less about maturity.....ima a 25 year old kid and 15 years from now i'll be a 40 year old kid still laughing at HSU getting beat by UMHB. Like it or love it....it's the reality.

the cowboys ran one trick play...and i'm pretty sure umhb ran a trick play too...some option screen play in i think the third. and if the cru dominated the game the score would be different and the game yardage would be completely different...yet there was only a 30 or so yard difference. also, the cowboys ran and threw all the way down the field for a score a couple of times from their own 10. ALSO, the cowboys had a penelty on 2 of their drives in the third that was huge. Personally i think umhb got really lucky today because the cowboys came out doing work. dont get me wrong umhb is a good team but they def. didn't dominate the game at all and hsu only ran one trick play just like umhb. and yessir your an idiot......umhb got lucky today. good game cowboys

[yessir]

My apologies that both HSU and UMHB couldn't win...maybe one year the ASC will come up with a way both HSU and UMHB can win then everyone can be happy. 

[Josh Bowerman]

Yessir is right.

These boards are for pure entertainment.

It's a shame that people like he and Crualum90 lessen the entertainment value for everyone--even for some of the other classy UMHB fans i've met through this board.

Why don't you two do us all a favor and go away--forever?

Yesterday's game was a great game between two very evenly matched teams.  One or two plays here or there, and yes--the game would or could have been different.  But it is what it is.  It was a really enjoyable game, and I hope that the two teams get another shot at one another this year (just not in the first round of the playoffs).  I think that would be a real treat for all involved.

The real key to UMHB's victory, IMO, was the fact that they were able to consistently gain 5, 6, 7 yards on first down.  No matter how well HSU's defense played (and I think they played pretty well on the whole), it's tough to stop UMHB's running attack when they have two downs to get 3 or 4 yards.

I'm really encouraged by the Cowboys performance yesterday, and think all my fellow HSU fans should be, as well.  Even in a loss, I think this game gives the Cowboys the boost in confidence they've been missing since the end of the 2006 season.

What I'm discouraged by is the fact that a couple of punks that never have anything useful to say (except extremist rhetoric and comments that bring dishonor to their alma mater) haven't been banned by the site yet.

Josh,

I think the thing that continues to worry me about HSU is the amount of yardage they give up on the ground.  Over 350 yesterday and it didn't seem to matter who was running the ball.  The telegram article said that Hurst left the game with 5 minutes to go in the second quarter and by the late 3rd quarter, there was someone I had never seen play before running the ball.  All of that running made the game go by very fast and if HSU doesn't hit Zavious with the half back pass, or doesn't catch UMHB unprepared during the hurry-up at the end of the fourth for big yardage quick, they run out of time.  They have to find some way of tightening up the line on the running game because those big plays might not always hit.

On a side note, did the mispronunciation of ZaVious Robbins bother anyone else?

[Pat Coleman]

Idiot or not my team won and yours didn't.... If you knew me at all... I am far from an idiot..per the actual definition of the word. What's funny is I state facts and opinions based on the facts on this board, yet all the poor losers for HSU feel like my comments are "Idiotic". Meanwhile their team is yet again 2nd in this conference. This board is made up of has beens, wanna be's, or parents of players, parents of has beens, or parent's of wanna be's. Ima has been and am proud of it....as I only lost one game to HSU and it wasn't nothing but a motivational tool. You could call me an idiot all day long and it isn't going to change a thing on the field, unlike some of yall think, these boards don't play a roll in the game on saturday at all. Some people think they can talk trash and it actually matter....or stat a fact and it actually matter. It doesn't....all this board is for is letting washed up has beens, or parents give their opinion on a game they wish they could contirbute too. This is pure entertainment to me... as it should be to others. However this is a life line to most people....a way to still be apart of something they used to be a part of, or a part of something their son is apart of or used to be apart of. Pure entertainment, so yall keep coming up with your bogus excuses and entertaining name calling as it ain't nothing but a laugh to me....HAHA. What you know about them legends partying like it was 2003, you don't know!!!

I would share this qoute with other members of this forum as well...personal attacks and name calling is not very respectful....both I have refrained from doing....both others have not. Thanks Pat

Roocru,
I don't disagree with you on how the defense was playing.  However, from where I was (which is nowhere near field level by the way) it appeared that in the 2nd half HSU started keying more on Saenz and that on several occasions he could have pitched to the RB for a bigger gain.  I know that in the heat of the game that Saenz was just going on instinct and I thought he played well but going back to last year I've felt that he seems to hold the ball more instead of pitching when running the option.  Just an observation that I have and it could be proven wrong by studying film which I obvioulsy don't do since I am not a coach!!

I vividly remember Carillo throwing 2 passes:  1 on a backward pass that went for the long TD on the first offensive play in the 4th quarter and another on an end around when the reciever was covered deep and he came back to the sideline for about a 30 yard gain...this one was on the last drive of the game for HSU.  They also quick snapped on that last drive, which really isn't a trick play but not really lining up and playing against a set defense either.  Those two plays I mentioned above are over 100 yards of their total offense and then add the long plays at the end of the first half when UMHB was in a "prevent" so to speak and you have around 200 yards of offense on ony a handful of plays.  It just seemed to me that UMHB was more dominant until they blew it a few times in the red zone. 

[baddog]

Pat -- Thanks for the post and reminder (to us all). Interesting use of the word "reframed", though.

[Josh Bowerman]

Toby--

I agree with some of what you say.   I've not had time to look at it, but my guess is that two-thirds of UMHB's rushing yardage came on first down, because the Crusaders never really hit a "home run" play yesterday.  If you can take that away from teams, I think you'll generally win more than you lose.

But you're right--HSU needs to tighten up some in the defensive front seven.  

Offensively, I thought HSU moved the ball real well when they were in "hurry up" mode--quick snap counts and no-huddle.  They employed that strategy effectively at the end of the first half with a nice pass to ZaVious and an almost-touchdown to Grisham (gosh, he was open.  Wide open.  I'm sure Feaster wishes he had that pass back.)  It was also effective in the fourth quarter.

Maybe there's something in that for future reference.

[Josh Bowerman]

Roocru--

Speaking of Quincy...

I don't know if they've made a determination yet, but my guess is the way he was walking around, he's in a lot of pain and not coming back this season.

You heard anything about a medical redshirt?
