Wad not a starter but played for Bo Schebechler. Do you know who he is?

Ok, so you were either at Miami (OH) or Michigan. Congrats. Did Bo teach you to overreact whenever someone doesn't effuse praise upon what is obviously a relative to you, and then assume that everyone on a Fans Forum is not an athlete?

Ok D1 baseball guy. Bo would not get into that nonsense nor will I. Not a relative of Duncan stated many times my nephew plays on Valpo and well I just know Duncan is the best player on the team. Go Blue not Miami. But most on the blog really do not the in depth knowledge of football.

The only thing Bo Schembelcher was good at was losing the Rose Bowl to USC! One of the most overrated coaches in college football.

Fathered the player.

Can't have those penalties at the end and expect to win a tight game. Odd playcalling with only 4 or 5 rushes by the backs. Duncan had a very good game. The comment regarding Fox "not being ready" or whatever is just inane and hopefully just made from the emotion of the loss. Same with the pick not being a game changer since it gave the ball to Butler at the Valpo 23.

Valpotx one interception is not worth mentioning unless you call out all the other turnovers. That was not a game changer. You are another blogger who knows nothing about football your an armchair guy!

WTF! What is with the cheap shot? If you are going to post on the Valpo board maybe you need to a little more relaxed. Totally uncalled for.

HEY, Cut it out ! This is an emotional 12 hours. Stop. Breathe. Then add thoughtful and constructive comments and please refrain from driving this into a personal pissing contest.

To give up a field-long drive with only 19 seconds on the clock only to see a FG win the game with 0.00 on the clock is cataclysmic, but it is what it is. Step back. And then let's look at why we didn't go to OT.

When we scored with only 19 seconds on the clock, I was certain we'd go to OT. I was only on GameTracker and had to go back to work. Later, I saw that Butler hit a FG but I assumed it was in OT. And I figured we had a chance to equalize or win. You can imagine my surprise when the score was listed as FINAL.

Then I looked a the drive chart. We blew it ——— Offside on the first FG attempt. Before that a 15 Yard Pf to allow them within range. Let's look at those situations. And then let's regroup and find a way to beat freakin Marist.

Oh.......... and mark my words, Crusaders. This lost will be the focus of every game we play from now on for the next two+ years. The adversity here will fuel the staff, the players, and future wins. It will be the chip on our shoulder that will drive us.

Sorry 62. I wasn't ripping anyone but Bo Schembechler who has always been an antagonist to USC and the Conference of Champions.

By Far Duncan made some plays with his legs scrambling and designed runs totaling 102 yrds rushing , if he did not do that we would have not been in this game. the Dam defense again had to stop Butler with 19 sec left in the game to go into over time and once again was flagged x2 WTH it killed us, that is on FOX !!

usc4valpo · November 16, 2019, 10:26:36 PM

The turnovers killed us for 14 points.

Seems to have been an issue at times during the year which needs to be cleaned up.

dam=a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, forming a reservoir used to generate electricity or as a water supply.

damn=be condemned by God to suffer eternal punishment in hell.

Went to the game a few things are evident.

Our DBs outside of Booker are an issue.
Duncan holds onto ball far too long.
Our oline is non existent in run game (just need to get to end of season here have lost Zajac, Lundberg, Russell from an already small unit)

That being said. Fox has had this team in position to win the past 5 weeks. He has a small roster of 90 and 35 or so are freshman. Those comparing his first year to Cecchini need to remember he had 90 on roster and only 17 were freshman.

The record might not show It, but this team is improved from last season. Let's get a full cycle of recruiting /off-season and see what we have
