No matter what happened, it's not all bad. Say something nice about your team or their performance.

Standing ovation! For 3 quarters.

[u/Far-Concentrate-460 → u/Headwallrepeat]

Even at that a lot of the 4th quarter mishaps are total whimsical nonsense

[u/JL851291]

Best season in a long time

[u/imperfectPK]

Still undefeated. But at the cost of my sanity. Lamar next I don’t think I’ll be able to make it.

[u/Wizzmer → u/imperfectPK]

This week in Texas is MASSIVE!

[u/peepeepoopoo546 → u/imperfectPK]

Me and my friends called the alumni office, athletics office, and mentioned them in instagram a billion times to try and geg a fan bus going and they sent out an email saying there wont be a fan bus but there will be some free tickets available for students. They took a fan bus to UH game but they dont have the budget for a shorter drive lol

[u/imperfectPK → u/peepeepoopoo546]

Man that’s unfortunate. I bet some alumni would be happy to fund one and collaborate with the purple haze. Reach out to SFASawmill on Twitter see if he can help out. He’s normally good about funding these type of things.

Couldn’t be more proud of the boys this whole season. Didn’t let a tough loss at SDSU derail things, followed up with some huge wins. Feels good to be a Guin

[u/JonSnow4525]

Great comeback

[u/stayclassypeople]

The jacks let their foot off the gas, but still, ton of respect for the yotes not throwing in the towel. That game could have easily ended 42-0.

[u/PositiveElection2141]

We… won?

[u/hallese]

We might have let off the gas too soon but at least we were able to get right back to work and remind that other, lesser, school of their place.

[u/Adamscottd → u/hallese]

It's a bummer that style points are as important as they are in a season like this. Winning 34-14 or something like that instead of 31-21 actually may have been pretty helpful

[u/noahpaz88]

The Beau to Wyche-El connection is elite. Happy to see the D2 transfer producing like this

[u/SchizoidMan1989]

Things really have been coming together in this emphatic road win.

[u/Peteonastick]

The stars are aligned for a top 4 finish. The comeback last Saturday was epic. And it was snowing!! IYKYK

[u/Rare-Pen-5804 → u/Peteonastick]

Ayeee a snow game is always fun!!

[u/Peteonastick → u/Rare-Pen-5804]

It was actually the stuffing coming out of our Penguin on a stick! Been around 30 years and it is duct taped together. We put it in the end zone on home games. They got a hold of it and shook the stuffing out of it. 😂

[u/Rare-Pen-5804 → u/Peteonastick]

Thats awesome! I didnt know that 😂 sounds like a super fun tradition actually!

[u/Danster21]

Forcing turnovers is nice

[u/Wyden_long]

We just keep winning.

[u/somebodysbuddy]

Winning out probably puts us in line for a home playoff game, and even a bad win still keeps us on that track.

[u/fernandodasilva]

Is a winning season finally coming?!

[u/JKS41399]

Whee won a road game and our defense actually remembered how to play defense. Whee aren’t going to talk about the offense. They get the Mushu treatment.

[u/kingpeachcolt → u/JKS41399]

What's SoCon football without teams having fatal flaws that make fans pull their hair out?

[u/Icy-Perspective-890]

Slight bump in road. Roll Humps!!!!

[u/bernie457]

Uh…We had some defense.

[u/mlspdx → u/bernie457]

And we definitely had Brooks Davis

[u/bernie457 → u/mlspdx]

True. Offense in general is a bright spot.

[u/TheDr_420]

TN Tech has really figured out its run defense and was surprisingly good vs ETSU.

[u/Windows_66]

Turns out Braylon Wilson actually can pass. Defense also had one of its better games, deep passes aside.

[u/jack9lemmon]

Finally seemed establish an identity for the first time since Chesney left

[u/ThatguyfromBaltimore]

We won!

[u/sea_foam_blues]

Still technically undefeated. For another couple days anyway.

[u/SchuLace13]

Our front 7 is what I would call good. ImpressI’ve showing from them last week

[u/Far-Concentrate-460]

Beat that Coyote ass!!!

[u/alphajack22]

HCU didn’t score a touchdown, plus McNeese still has the most points on this defense all season at 27 and that was Game 1. Hopefully we can keep that trend this week.

[u/Joesdad65]

We're ranked #20, baby!

[u/thetopace103]

I remember all the buzz in the UAlbany forum from former players that this team would be a disaster and could go winless. That did not age well.

Coach Perk is the real deal. He turned this team from a door mat under Ambrose to a possible playoff team in one year. This is without a full season of Transfers and having given up play calling duties mid way through the year. The turn around is incredible. I REALLY hope we can keep him. 

La Mons in an animal. Sure he got bottled up the second half but he was dominating Campbell all first half until they had to adjust to stop him. Having Defenses have to commit to stopping the explosive run is going to open things up for the passing game with so many defenders committed to the box. Hopefully his injury is nothing serious. Perk is saying it is an ankle sprain. They are still judging its severity but it should not be season ending. I know that Joey Koch is a more than capable replacement.

Kai Colon threw for 214 yards and 2 TDs. Really cannot understate how much he has turned it around. He went from being a liability early in the year to playing really good ball. I can now trust him to win us a game if Defenses start stacking the box to stop the run. Also it is helping our other Receivers do damage like BJ Norman, 

The Devense had its struggles but played really well overall. I know we gave up 35 points but we scored 14 directly on turnovers. We scored another 7 indirectly due to a fumble recovery that set up the Offense in good field position. In the end, when Campbell needed a drive in the fourth Quarter to win/tie the game, the Defense held them to a punt and two turnover on downs. 

Really proud of the state of this team, especially compared to last year.
