That was the gutsiest comeback I've seen. Rohach was clutch, he did not make one bad throw in the whole second half. Defense stepped up big time when it needed to. Great win!

Screw all of you quitters! This team had every reason to lay down and give up. And they didn't. Unlike some of you *******!

Amen to this. I wanted so badly for the seniors to go out with a win for themselves and the fans that care. Not a couple on this board that are just sickening with their posts. "I was watching another game but came here just to check it out", what kind of fan posts that kind of comment? Some of you ought to be ashamed.

4 win season. Could have been worse I guess.

It was worse...3 win season

 

[Clonefan94]

Maybe he counted Texas? It took me a bit too. (or he just couldn't count)

Meh, moral victories don't count. If it's a L in the column, then that's how I count it.

 

[MaccloNe]

Can we please leave Mess alone for a day? He came through today. Let's enjoy the win.

He deserves no mercy. Fire his sorry *** after the trip home. No shuffle to another position, out of a job is the only acceptable option.

Yeah, "Not totally ******* up against the worst two teams on the schedule" doesn't exactly change anything there.

 

[mcblogerson]

Saved their best for last I guess. Nice way to close out the season for some gutsy seniors. I salute you\

Great game, no quit. Down 17 come back and win. Build for next year

Actually, we were down 24 points at one point - 31-7.

Way to stick with it after an awful start. Still...I want to see a change at the o coordinator position. Way to go boys! Made us proud.

I want Mess gone too, but I'm fearful that our defense will be the issue next year. That's why Rhoads is trying to sign about 4 or 5 JUCO's all on the defensive side between now and Signing Day.

If Rohach can play like he did in the 2nd half tonight all season long next year, the offense could actually be dangerous.

 

[FanatiClone]

What.

How's the weather, fan? Fair?

Rohach gets the game ball. Fire Mess, NOW!

Mess gets no sympathy. His first 5 drives were horribly, no HORRIBLY called.

EFFED the prom queen!!!

One more...

Agree. Mess always calls a decent game when we're down by 3 TD's. Up until then, he's ultra conservative. Usually it kills us, but tonight we found a way to come back.

Mess did the same thing against Iowa. Only when we're WAY down and our backs are against the wall does he start being more aggressive and trying to score.

Hi, my name is SaraV....("Hi, SaraV.") And I switched off the game early in the second half. I will now hang my head in shame.

:sad:

30 minutes later: Wooooooooooo!!!

Hi SaraV,

I went out for dinner before half in disgust. Shat myself when I returned late in the 4th and turned the radio back on.

I'm starting to worry that the conservative play calling is coming from Rhoads and not Mess honestly. I was complaining about us never throwing across the middle, when Rohach threw that INT across the middle, and it was face palm time.
