  • Like many others, I did not renew my season tickets.  I I was very upset that after such a terrible showing last year, no real changes were made.  I felt that due to that fact we were going to really struggle this year, and quite frankly until today I still felt that way.  While there were moments in the first 3 games, there were also issues and concerns.  But I'm glad to say that I was wrong, and we are playing much better than I expected.  I'm still trying to temper my expectations and stay realistic, but the team that played tonight could beat every team on the rest of our schedule.  We are playing better than I expected and CUSA is...well....pretty bad over all.  Between the two of those I think not losing another game is possible.  I don't want to overlook going to UTSA and Texas, where we never do well, or Southern Miss, but I'm feeling MUCH better than I was at the beginning of the season, and even better that I was after our wins over little Miami and Kent St.  So I'm here to eat crow, and I'm loving it!  GO HERD!

  • I wasn't expecting much this season but the Herd seems to have figured it out . I hope it continues .

  • I myself am eating crow and loving it.  I always believed we had talent.  The Offensive and Defensive Line did surprise me big time.  I did not believe Legg could get the "O" going.  Good for Doc!

  • Same here, I was once that hoping for 2-2 and thought it would most likely be 1-3 at this point! Great job Herd!!!

  • I predicted 7-5 but I also did not renew my Big Green due to the lack of action after the horrendous season and attitude and lack of effort last season...I am very happy with what I have seen so far and will be rejoining the Big Green again..

    I only expect effort if I can drive 12 hours to see a game..I did not get that last year from these guys.
