Why ars tarleton state fans so overreactive? Like calm the fuck down.

Are we going to suddenly act like we're trying to win this game with 5 minutes left?

u/sernameistakentry Idaho State • Oregon State 13d ago

I’m late but man, I kind of think we may never beat NAU. That team is so damn solid. I’m not too upset because deep down I knew they were the better team but getting upset still sucks. We need to come out flying next week against Cal Poly for homecoming.

4

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Absolutely brutal way to lose that one for Colgate

This is exactly how the SFA game went today. My son has no idea why I was stressed when we won. He’s 3, so he has so much to learn about being a football fan.

u/TheRain2 Eastern Washington Eagles 13d ago

Oh wow, we pinned 'em deep!

Kicking cost us the damned Poly game, too.

u/Chadly16 Idaho Vandals 13d ago

I feel your pain. We could've had 2 fbs wins last year had we been able to make a kick.

1

u/TheWawa_24 San Diego State • Cal Poly 13d ago

thanks big sky refs very cool

5

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Looking ahead there’s an outside chance SDSU @ UND in two weeks could be #1 vs #2 depending on how next week plays out. Would of course require UND beating UNI which is certainly not a given anymore, plus Montana losing to NAU which is possible and Tarleton losing to Austin Peay.

4

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Just go ahead and assume we lose to austin peay.

I already have.

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Weak as FUCK roughing the passer call on cal poly, holy cow

u/Lee-HarveyTeabag Idaho State Bengals • Oklahoma Sooners 13d ago

That was an underwhelming performance. Feels like we’ve been watching Jordan Cooke throw back foot interceptions for 6 years now.

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

I've already decided that Im going to gave to get completely and utterly baked for next weeks game.

There is no shot I will be able to process the ass fucking chris parson is going to perform on this secondary while not high off my ass.

u/MasterOfVoice North Alabama • Alabama 13d ago

UNA gets 4 INTs and wins 20-16 at EKU. The Lions are 4-2 headed into a Bye week.

3

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

UNAs defense is impressive. I've been surprised with how much they've improved since last year.

2

u/MasterOfVoice North Alabama • Alabama 13d ago edited 13d ago

That turnaround has been very impressive. DC Clint Bowen was unemployed after the staff got canned at OK State last season and his QB son decided to transfer to UNA. He came along as a bonus! True story. But, lots to work on offensively in this off week before ACU travels to Florence in two weeks.

2

u/Moist-Fly4743 Alabama • North Alabama 13d ago

Our defense is legit. Our offense is abysmal most of the time.

3

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Don't worry. If you can complete a pass, you can score on us at least.

1

u/Moist-Fly4743 Alabama • North Alabama 13d ago

We had a tough time doing that. Can't pass, can't run. We're good at punting though!

1

u/MasterOfVoice North Alabama • Alabama 13d ago

Ran well at the end of the game somehow. It was the key to keeping the lead and taking time off the clock.

2

u/Birddogtx Northern Colorado • Lamar 13d ago

Put Lamar in the Top 10 cowards

5

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

I imagine Montana moves up to 2 but Tarleton should be dropped behind UND and debatably Lehigh. They’re unbeaten but have not looked good at all.

3

u/Aggressive-Run-792 Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

no no no no, we will magically repair our pass defense over the next 6 days trust.

u/SkittlesMacGee Montana State • Idaho State 13d ago

Existence is pain

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Being a fan of two undefeated teams only to first lose to a winless conference rival who happens to be your second flair's main rival must really hurt.

3

u/SkittlesMacGee Montana State • Idaho State 13d ago

tbh, I really can't decide if I'm more hurt or dumbstruck. If anything, maybe this means the Idaho/Idaho State game will actually be a good one

2

u/K3T9Q_ Tarleton State • Texas A&M 13d ago

we ass my dudes

2

u/Aggressive-Run-792 Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

We will see if we can restore order in our ranks against peay, if we can, then we are back. if not, we probably should be left out the playoffs entirely.

2

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

We wont be out of the playoffs.

The issue is that we wont be Nashville caliber. And that is the goal.

3

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Nonono.

We are elite almost everywhere. But our secondary is so dogshit that it offsets almost everything else

1

u/TheRain2 Eastern Washington Eagles 13d ago

Alright, I believe - we're going to pull off the upset!

Edit: nm

2

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Normally would be happy with a 56-21 win.

But I am fucking FURIOUS about this one.

Completely unacceptable performance

2

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Even if Tarleton has their 3rd stringers out, how do you let Chicago State score 21?

5

u/Aggressive-Run-792 Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

We can never quite figure out how to improve our pass defense. I mean, the run defense has certainly improved, why hasn’t the pass D?

1

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Thats what infuriates me. Last year we were so bad at stopping the run, but ELITE against the pass. Now, we're really good against the run, but utterly trash against the pass....

1

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Two very different methods of ball movement. You routinely see teams in the NFL fail at this.

9

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

So, for those keeping score at home, 5 top-25 teams lost (or are losing, noted in italics) to lesser-ranked opponents this week:

#1 Montana State, L 34-35 Idaho

#9 Tennessee Tech, L 20-44 Western Carolina

#11 Idaho State, L 14-31 #17 Northern Arizona

#15 South Carolina State, L 31-34 The Citadel

#21 West Florida, L 0-28 Abilene Christian

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Been hoping to see Kauna'oa Kamakawiwoole all year.

Solely to see the announcers struggle with his name lol.

5

u/OfficerBatman Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

It was by far our ugliest game of the year, but we finished and pulled out the win.

5

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

I kinda figure UIW could make that tight. They've had a sneaky good offense all year.

Good win.

2

u/OkPie1119 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

UIW is one or two more defensive playmakers away from being a legitimate contender in the polls. They don’t get blown out.

We did ourselves no favors tonight just glad we snuck away with a win

2

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

They ain't all gotta be pretty. They just gotta be wins. Like i said, really looking forward to watching that Lamar game. That has the chance to be awesome.

Good luck with the rest of the season. Enjoy the bye!

1

u/OfficerBatman Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

Yeah I knew it wasn’t going to be a blowout, but we made a lot of really bad unforced errors.

But we got through it. The bye week will hopefully get some health back for us too. We’ve been missing a lot of key players every week.

1

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Im really curious to see how that Lamar game goes. That has the potential to be an all time defensive matchup.

Of course, now that I've said that, the over will get blown to bits and it'll be a shootout lol.

2

u/OfficerBatman Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

Lamar’s defense is championship caliber. If they can figure out how to play offense against non trash defenses they’re gonna be incredibly hard for anyone to beat.

1

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Absolutely. They have a LOT of potential.

Im not trying to talk shit here, but I think you guys can be in that same vein. Thats kinda why I said you remind me of last years UND squad. Yall are elite on defense, just need to get the offense clicking.

1

u/OfficerBatman Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

Funny enough SFA has, or at least had, a top 10 rushing and passing offense. SFA was one of the higher scoring offenses in the FCS before last night. It’s not a flashy offense, but it definitely isn’t a bad offense.

But yeah, last night was just sloppy from start to finish, but the saying is winners win, and SFA found a way to make plays when they needed to. An ugly win sometimes is more impressive than a blowout win.

2

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

THE FLYIN HAWAIIAN IN AT QB! LETS GOOOOOO!

So many penalties. An INSANE amount of penalties. But showed so much grit. Big ole 51 yarder for the win. Insane win. We needed it so bad. GGs Vaqueros. Hope y’all get back safely.

3

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

Oh my goodness, a false start against Harvard.

They were lining up for a 57 yard field goal. This probably changes the math.

9

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota 13d ago

Colgate just tried to call a second TO in a row, that should have been a penalty right????

5

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

If i had a nickle for every time a team took a weird time out this weekend, I'd have two nickles.

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

That was a bizarre sequence.

The past few weeks seem to really have hit the top teams harder than usual.

6

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Idk I’ve enjoyed it.

3

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

I didn't say you shouldn't, it's just surprising.

3

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

There’s been obvious flaws in each top team all year and some were bound to get exposed. SDSU is maybe the only one without a glaring flaw but we’ll see as the year goes on.

2

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

It's not glaring because you've only lost to Northwestern, but If something big happens to Chase like last year you might be in trouble.

4

u/Warren_Buffetts_Alt South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Chase has been out the last 2 weeks.

3

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Then it sounds like no problems for The Jackrabbits.

3

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Last year’s team had problems that were getting exposed even before Chase went down. Defense was struggling mightily and the o-line play was not good, this year is far superior in those areas. But we’ll see, anything can happen in CFB.

2

u/SoDakJack1 13d ago

Our O-line took it personal that they couldn’t hold up the 605 hogs reputation last year. Also helps that the RBs are a year older and things have slowed down for them. Defense looks as good as it ever has.

1

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

And our RB1 didn't literally die in the off-season this year

4

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Anything can happen, I do expect SDSU to do better in the playoffs this year. I think they can do well.

3

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako 13d ago

A massive win for the Catamounts!!!!

1

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

What's hilarious to me is that I remember complaing constantly last year about how weak we were to the run.

And we HAVE gotten much better there.

But we have regressed so much in our passing defense, that it doesnt matter....

6

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota 13d ago

With some of the teams that lost today the FCS seems awfully mediocre beyond the best 10-12 teams

8

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Once Chase is healthy I think we have the best team hands down. But still some big games coming up after the bye.

3

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

I mean, this was a big test today and Holst looked decent. Took the short throws that the defense gave him. The 605 Hogs paved the way against one of the best run defenses in the country. If we can cut down all the stupid penalties, on the other hand.

2

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Yep Holst was great and did what was needed. Could’ve definitely been a larger win if not for penalties killing good drives. Definitely makes me feel good about next year when Chase is gone.

4

u/SoDakJack1 13d ago

Playing UND in their dome is always scary. Some voo doo magic shit over that place

1

u/Responsible_History5 North Dakota Fighting Hawks • Sickos 13d ago

Hehehe NDSU knows what’s up after last year and 2023. Hell even last year was a battle against you guys. Will say tho you guys are the better team by a mile tho. Nothing but respect for yalls.

3

u/SchuLace13 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Obviously this team is better with Chase, but man with this run game and defense we are still going to be a problem

2

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

TOUCHDOWN COLGATE! A TOE TAP! WHAT A THROW! WHAT A CATCH!

16-14 Colgate, XP and review pending

4

u/Emerald_Hoax Tennessee Tech • Marching Band 13d ago

We gave up a 3rd and 31. From Western Illinois to Western Carolina, the Westerns have our numbers. GG Catamounts, it has not been fun for me, but what a night for you guys. Couldn't survive the week of upsets. I have loved hearing the band, though. Time to pack it up and run it back next week.

I fell off the wagon and I had thought this game would have been a loss. Defense played well but the penalty issue is atrocious

1

u/JKS41399 Western Carolina Catamounts 13d ago

I’m honestly just surprised that I could apparently be heard yelling on the TV broadcast. Apparently one of the mics is just a few rows back from where I sit…

2

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

We still need 15 to cover...

3

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Well...I was hoping we'd get all the way to the 4th string.

But I guess locke getting a whole quarter is what I'll have to settle for.

What a fucking embarrassing performance

6

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Now it's just a regular bad score instead of a really bad score difference.

The assumption we’ve been given is that Mason will be back in two weeks for our next game, @UND.

SFA looks vulnerable. I hope that Lamar can exploit that.

1

u/OkPie1119 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

By far our worst game in the past two years. We literally couldn’t stop shooting our selves in the foot all night. Limping into a bye week but I’ll take 6-0.

1

u/OfficerBatman Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 13d ago

It was by far our worst performance of the year, that’s for sure. But we also haven’t had a healthy roster this year yet. Hopefully we can get most of our starters back after the bye week.

3

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

It'll be one hell of a defensive matchup

Next week will be the real test for this Cardinals squad. Though, I am confident that they can handle it.

Well. At least we're finally generating turnovers...

5

u/SnooMacaroons1606 Illinois State Redbirds 13d ago

Well, looks like we're going to be 4-2, which means we probably need to go 4-2 the rest of the way to make the playoffs. That would mean winning two of Youngstown, UND, USD, and SIU (and not stumbling again against Murray or Indiana State). I really don't see it.

Such a deep RB room, maybe the best we’ve ever had.

u/Emerald_Hoax Tennessee Tech • Marching Band 13d ago

Reminds me of the Dwayne Alexander days (shudder).

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. We can get the ball going. We can stuff the Catamounts on key downs. We can get good plays on key downs. But it doesn't matter if you cannot hang onto the ball. I'm behind Wilder all the way, but this does not bode well heading into our most difficult month of the year.

Every. Part. Of. This. Team.

Has taken over. And the secondary is till giving up yards.

You can't make someone play better, but you sure can bench them in favor of one of your other 4 QBs. OR at the very least run the ball more. The coaching this year hasn't been good.

u/Particular_Prior5344 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 13d ago

Our D has been stuffing the run game all day and all year so not much choice for the Redbirds.

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • /r/CFB Top Scorer 13d ago

Considering our QG, Gage Roy, has two interceptions with the most recent being 6 points for you I'll take the rushing yards.

TOUCHDOWN UIW! A huge catch and run for a TD.

28-26, 2 point conversion pending.

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

First attempt successful, but called back for OPI. They try again.

2

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

And they’re stopped short on their try from the 12.

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 13d ago

SFA misses a field goal that would have put them up 11.

UIW gets the ball at their own 25, 48 seconds left, down 8, with no timeouts.

ACU up 28-0 at half

Campbell holds on to beat NC Central, 38-31. The CAA’s first win over the MEAC this season. They were 0-6 prior to this game.

u/Lee-HarveyTeabag Idaho State Bengals • Oklahoma Sooners 13d ago

Jordan Cooke making every throw off his back foot, air mailing open receivers, and failing to throw the ball away. He’s regressing back to the mean.

1

u/sernameistakentry Idaho State • Oregon State 13d ago

No no no, don’t say that

1

u/Lee-HarveyTeabag Idaho State Bengals • Oklahoma Sooners 13d ago

This is what he’s always been.

u/K3T9Q_ Tarleton State • Texas A&M 13d ago

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

But, at the same time....he also could have got hurt and missed next week when we NEED him

2

u/I_like_race_cars Tarleton State Texans 13d ago

Mfer could have doubled his season total

u/sernameistakentry Idaho State • Oregon State 13d ago
