Jut like they drew it up. High throw, defected to Weston...TD. "So you're saying there's a chance?" Oops, PAT just blocked...my bad!

Again, I go back to who did the coaching staff think they were going to have available because it looks like there was no Plan B since Chappell went out for good. This GVSU D is not this good.

Maybe we'll see Lennon's oldest son at RB before long!

Amazing grab, but again it is making plays and making them against the wind. That is their 2nd score going into the wind. And we've scored...

3rd and 10 with the wind at we run it with Dressler?? than we botch the punt snap. We came to play today!

They must be married to the ladies that were standing in line at Kohl's yesterday at 3 am to get $5 off that digital alarmclock/popcorn maker??

Our seconday is making the tackle on 2 of every 3 running plays.

Ah, it's 35 outside! If it was nice enough to tee it up, I would be out there after watching that first half. 30 minutes from ice fishing?

Are you Dale Lennon? Because if he hasn't stated all those points in his halftime address he is watching a different game. But that summary is what I have seen as well.

Was there any game planning in place for today for the offense?? Watching the game on TV, it looks like there was "hope" that Chappel could go effectively from the first couple series but since that has not been the case the offense has looked absolutely lost. It is the playoffs and if you can't run the ball or stop the run you're done. The D line looks similar to the UNO game as well. Not saying it's over, but Brittney Spears (fat lady) is warming up...

Genoway gets the game winner BOTH nights!! Sioux 3-1 and 5-2

I would take the over on the French in a war vs. "those dullards" and that in itself is pathetic

Great shots! Except for the one of Chappel with the boot on crutches

Then we should be set to run it down their throat with Battle

Obviously the coaching staff felt Chappel was well enough to play against WSU even though he was alittle banged up after the USD game. To say it was "never safe to make such assumptions" about the outcome of the WSU game is questionable at best (like Chappel will be come Sat.). If you know he is somewhat banged up going into the WSU game and if you know he is more dinged up before halftime and if you know Murray is not going to return in the second half due to a serious injury and if you have any faith in your defense, Chappel doesn't play in the 2nd half. You can make the case, as some have done about UNO a couple of years coming back, that at 20-2 the game wasn't a lock, but in all sporting events scenerios play out that dictate decisions. As a sports fan and nothing more than that, my opinion is that they could have won the game playing Battle the 2nd half without risking Chappel for GVSU. At least half of my opinion was right.

Sorry...You did you use ALL but not in the way I perceived. Thought you lent me the brush?? But with the weekend over I'll return it...

There in lies the difference! And were we at the same game because at no point did I have a feeling WSU was going to do anything offensively in the 2nd half after watching them in the first half. 1-SAN-QUENTIN

But we are not playing Auggie at home next week!! Not saying that Battle is not capable, but Chappel is the engine that drives the bus in that offense and next weekend on the road, I don't think Battle is going to be the answer. I'm just disappointed that the team is potentially in this situation when it didn't have to be if some better judgement had been used coming out at halftime.

My initial point exactly. Let me preface this by saying I'm a big Lennon supporter, but with Murray already out mid 2nd with the shoulder, why would you risk losing Chappel after he hobbeld off at halftime? Lennon was qouted as saying he didn't feel they had control at halftime. Was I at a different game?? WSU couldn't run to the toilet!! Poll the 5400 ( which in itself is an embarrassment) at the game and I would be shocked if 10 said WSU had any chance greater than ZERO to come back in the 2nd half. And essentially what happened out of necessity instead of choice is you play your 3rd string RB and get the victory. Now, at best, we have our top 2 RB banged up if they even take the field at all. I thought there were some questionable coaching decisions vs. UNO, but playing Chappel in the 2nd half with all the other circumstances is inexcusable, especially if he isn't close to 100% next Sat.

Was at the game and he left the field after the injury without being able to put pressure on his right foot/leg. He spent most of the 2nd half laying flat on his back on the trainer's table with the ankle wrapped in ice. Mid 4th they put a walking boot on it. And he used crutches to exit the field with next to no pressure on that leg. If he plays effectively in a week, I would be suprised. On another note. Chappel gets dinged up a couple times late in the first half--same leg. Murray is already out with a should injury and you are up 20-2 at half and WSU can't get out of their own way offensively. Almost to a person where I was sitting people were asking why play Chappel in the 2nd half. I know you are only up 18 points, but a lot of folks were saying if Chappel gets hurt worse with Murray out already what are going to do next week...and here we are. Side note #2: PATHETIC attendence and crowd atmosphere!!

Again, you paint with an extremely broad brush. Most in this thread are not judging the entire NA race by the actions/comments of a few NA. But if that is your perception, so be it. I was the one who had the conversaion with the engineering prof. The point was that there was made available 2 SCHOLARSHIP slots for NAs that they were having diffuculting filling because of academic reasons and that those 2 slots limited some "other" students from gaining enterance into the program. So if you want to read into that that all NAs can't add or subtract, again that is your perception. The NA programs should continue regardless of the logo/nickname outcome, but valid points were made prior that there might be questioning by some as to why we are continuing to support those who feel violated and disrespected by the same university they are getting an education from. Not saying that is right.

Agree. He was something special during his collegiate years.

There in lies the dilema. There is a small faction who think that way. As there is a small faction that thinks that there is that sentiment from most on this thread. I am not advocating cutting NA programs, but I think there will be a cry at some point from the general public as to why we are continuing to support those (NA) who feel violated/abused by us. Again, I am not saying that is the right action to take, but when there are certian percpetions, there will be some fallout by what was previously noted as getting spit in the face. Human nature? The other "H" word per PCM I am guessing is hypocritical?? Personally, the sooner all of this is resolved the better.
